Computed style value is not updated after user actions in InternetExplorerDriver

[Piyush Dubey]

Hi,

I'm trying to assert computed styles which changes based on user
action. I'm getting the computed style through JavaScript. When I try
to assert the changed computed style after any user action (say button
changing color after click), The IEDriver doesn't return the updated
value.

My method looks something like this:

public static String getComputedStyle(WebDriver driver, WebElement
element, String styleName){
String Script = null;
if(driver instanceof InternetExplorerDriver){
Script = "return arguments[0].currentStyle['"+styleName+"'];";
}else {
Script = "return
document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(arguments[0],null).getPropertyValue('"+styleName
+"');";
}
String styleValue =
(String)((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript(Script,
element);

return styleValue;
}


In case of FireFox and Chrome it works fine but for IE the values
don't get updated after the user actions.

Any help would be appreciated... :)


Thanks in advance

Would it work if you change following line from,

Script = "return arguments[0].currentStyle['"+styleName+"'];";

to,

Script = "return arguments[0].style."+styleName+";";

Thanks for quick response

but with given changes, It throws an exception :

org.openqa.selenium.ie.UnexpectedJavascriptExecutionException: Cannot execute script

System info: os.name: 'Windows Server 2003', os.arch: 'x86', os.version: '5.2 build 3790 Service Pack 2', java.version: '1.6.0'

Driver info: driver.version: ie

I think the script is fine because it gives me the onload value of computed style. But when user performs an action which changes the style, it doesn't update the value.

I think this is a problem with IEDriver.
