Help with CF and Robot Framework

[Samuel Adams]

Howdy,

I am using Robot Framework for testing and have one CF specific issue. I would like to click on the CFLayout generated tabs, but can not find the correct ID. If anyone has any experience with this I would appreciate the help.

thanks,

Samuel Adams.

I used Robot for awhile, moved onto Cypress and would now recommend Playwright LOL

I started adopting using the data attributes (I use data-testid="") after working with Cypress.  Playwright also suggests this ...

https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/best-practices#Selecting-Elements
https://playwright.dev/docs/locators#locate-by-test-id

Cypress and Playwright both will wait until the content is rendered before running - are you sure your ID is present when Robot runs? 

It's been awhile since I looked at Robot docs - but something like this may be worth a try: https://forum.robotframework.org/t/wait-for-complete-page-load-in-robot-framework/4597

Good luck!

Jim
