Get data

Table of Contents

Sometimes, instead of asserting or verifying that the data is as expected, you need to get the data; either in order manipulate it or use it later.

For this QWeb provides a number of "getters", i.e keywords for getting data to variables. These keywords usually begin with word Get. Here is a list of Get keywords in QWeb:

  • GetAlertText

  • GetCellText

  • GetConfig

  • GetDropDownValues

  • GetElementCount

  • GetFileText

  • GetInputValue

  • GetList

  • GetPdfText

  • GetSelected

  • GetTableRow

  • GetText

  • GetTextCount

  • GetWebelement

Many of these will be covered in later chapters (for example GetCellText & GetTableRow in chapter 10 - Tables), but we’ll cover most common ones below.

GetText

GetText is meant for getting element’s text into a variable. It takes at least one mandatory argument, locator. Locator can be either xpath or any attribute value of an element with specific tag defined. For example:

*** Settings ***
Library                     QWeb

*** Test Cases ***
GetText examples
    ${text}=    GetText     //button[@data-toggle\="dropdown"]      # using xpath
    ${text}=    GetText     dropdown   tag=button                   # using tag+attribute value

GetTextCount

GetTextCount returns the amount of specific texts on the page. It takes the text being searched for as an argument.

*** Settings ***
Library                     QWeb

*** Test Cases ***
GetTextCount examples
    ${count}=    GetTextCount     New York  # waiting default 10 secs before returning 0

GetInputValue

GetInputValue returns the text written in an input field. It has mandatory argument locator, which can be text, xpath or any unique attribute’s value.

*** Settings ***
Library                     QWeb

*** Test Cases ***
GetInputValue examples
    ${text}=   GetInputValue    Full Name       # using label near text field
    ${text}=   GetInputValue    name            # using attribute value (id = name)
    ${text}=   GetInputValue    //input[@id\="name"]            # using xpath
    ${text}=   GetInputValue    Haku            # using attribute value (alt text)

Exercise

Build on top of the exercise on previous chapter, but this time get data to variables and just log it using Log keyword:

  1. Go to https://qentinelqi.github.io/shop/

  2. Add product "Scar the Lion" to shopping cart

  3. (NEW): Get price of the item to variable ${item_price} and log it

  4. Select "Large" as size of a t-shirt

  5. Set quantity of products to 2

  6. Checkout

  7. Fill in "Full Name", "Email" and "Billing Address"

  8. (NEW): Get total price of all items to variable ${total_price} and log it

  9. Change your mind and edit cart, remove product from cart and verify cart is empty

💡
 GetText returns value in an element immediately without waiting. You may want to take this into account and verify something from the new view before getting data, since sometimes it might take a while before text is actually available.
