Hi,

I have tried the same to you and also got the same error.

So I tried other way. I didn't use Evaluate JS and in the step where I click on the gridcell, I use:

evalXPath("//a[text()=\"" ArgsContext.LR.getParam("test") "\"]");

It works for me.

I refered from this link: http://support.openview.hp.com/selfsolve/document/KM1110051

Okay, so I modified my code to use ArgsContext, but now I'm running into another problem. Whenever I try to use ArgsContext to obtain a value from my parameter list, I get an error stating, "SyntaxError: Invalid character    [MsgId: MERR-203252]." I tried loading the variable directly using a windows alert as well, and it seems like I must be receiving some sort of garbage character? There doesn't appear to be any problems with my parameter list file, but I'll attach it just in case. (Saved as .txt since I can't upload .dat)

EDIT: I felt I should note, my column delimiter is tab, not comma. It's a single column file.

Hi,

Could you please share your code?

Thank you!

Here's the modified object js request:

evalXPath("//td[text()=\"" ArgsContext.LR.getParam("myParam") "\"]");

Hi,

The issue with your function could be that it contains a character, written using keyboard language different from English. I made some checks in Notepad using different encoding and with one got:

evalXPath("//td[text()=\"" ArgsContext.LR.getParam​("myParam") "\"]");

For example the following code

var myGlobalVar=LR.getParam(“myParam")

will also produce

Evaluate JavaScript code var myGlobalVar=LR.getPa...t(myGlobalVar); ** failed - exception occurred: SyntaxError: illegal character

because in (“myParam")  “ is not written using English keyboard.

Kind regards,

Hi Vesela,

I am trying parameterize a checkbox value in object section by changing the ID method to JavaScript option.

Below is the original JavaScript:

evalXPath("//input[@type=\"checkbox\" and @value=\"199999\"]");

Below is the parameterized JS option:

evalXPath("//input[@type=\"checkbox\" and @value=\'" ArgsContext.LR.getParam("p_SellerID") "\']");

where p_SellerID =199999

My question here:

1) Is it the correct way to parameterize? I am facing an issue which says "Target Object not found. Exception occured in JavaScript code"

Please note here that once the parameter was created the script was ran from the beginning as required. Also the similar method is being used to parameterize a different object with the same code and it works fine there. So confusing as to why it fails in this step.

2) There are 10 unique seller id's in the parameter p_SellerID and the selection of next row value is set to sequential and each occurence. Since we are selecting 10 unique seller id check boxes I am using the above mentioned value selection but in real time interactive window it doesn't selects the checkboxes in sequential manner and rather it selects in random manner. Can you provide an insight as to why its happening like this?

Thanks,

Bibhu Panda.

Hi Bibhu,

Can you try this statement instead 

evalXPath("//input[@type=\"checkbox\" and @value='\'" ArgsContext.LR.getParam("p_SellerID") "\']");

Or alternatively try Descriptors object identification. It will help avoiding the syntax issues

HI Shlomi

I tried to apply this to my problem. I am testing an Angular application. I search for a customer based on zipcode and housenumber. The application wil give all possible customers in that area, and I want to click on the Business Partner number (our internal identifier).

So the xpath is

//span[text()="12345678"]

where 12345678 is the customer number. 

I do a 'Click on' action, and in the Object I select ID method - Javascript, and in the Javascript box 

evalXPath("//span[text()=\"   " ArgsContext.LR.getParam("var_ZP") "     \"]");

Where var_ZP is the variable for the customer number.(variabe has been created in the main script and has tesdata).

But when I play it, it just gives an error that the object did not appear! I can't see my error here, please advise? I did try constuctions like 

evalXPath(“//a[text()=\”” window.mydoc “\”]”);

where windows.mydoc contains the customer numer, that also did not work.
