Reliable clicking: by implementing click open, click close keywords about robotframework-flaui HOT 9 CLOSED

@noubar

Well i know why you want to implement these kind of keywords ;) Yes it make sense to implement such a kind of keywords.

Pls implement these keywords by use all module methods usage in Keywords module side because you can call all executions on this side. It's a good enhancement to make click operation more stable.

@Nepitwin I need some additional eye and help i cannot see the pattern why the test case is failing.
The problem is in
https://github.com/GDATASoftwareAG/robotframework-flaui/blob/147-new-keywords-reliable-clicks/atests/Mouse.robot#L105

I am getting the error

Expected error 'FlaUiError: Element '/Window[@name='FlaUI WPF Test App']/Window/Menu/MenuItem[@name='Some MenuItem']/Text[@name='Some MenuItem']' could not be closed after clicking on '/Window[@name='FlaUI WPF Test App']/Tab/TabItem[@name='Simple Controls']/Button[@AutomationId='PopupToggleButton2']'' but got 'FlaUiError: Element '/Window[@name='FlaUI WPF Test App']/Window/Menu/MenuItem[@name='Some MenuItem']/Text[@name='Some MenuItem']' could not be closed after clicking on '/Window[@name='FlaUI WPF Test App']/Tab/TabItem[@name='Simple Controls']/Button[@AutomationId='PopupToggleButton2']''.

Expected "ABC" but got "ABC"
Both strings are identical but still failing. I've got around the issue in the previous test case by adding STARTS: as prefix which will not compare for absolute equality.

I am doing something wrong but where?

@noubar

Kind of strange by Diff Checker he identifies differences

If you compare

Expected error

'FlaUiError: Element '/Window[@name='FlaUI WPF Test App']/Window/Menu/MenuItem[@name='Some MenuItem']/Text[@name='Some MenuItem']' could not be closed after clicking on '/Window[@name='FlaUI WPF Test App']/Tab/TabItem[@name='Simple Controls']/Button[@AutomationId='PopupToggleButton2']''

but got

'FlaUiError: Element '/Window[@name='FlaUI WPF Test App']/Window/Menu/MenuItem[@name='Some MenuItem']/Text[@name='Some MenuItem']' could not be closed after clicking on '/Window[@name='FlaUI WPF Test App']/Tab/TabItem[@name='Simple Controls']/Button[@AutomationId='PopupToggleButton2']''.

By notepad it's not equal. But i don't see the charecter which is different

from robotframework-flaui.

Left one does not contains a dot and ends by a whitespace.
Right one ends by dot.

Potential the dot at the end?

Nope it is not. Those are added by the robot logger

I have tried the test case with try and catch instead of run keyword and expect error and it is working fine.
Which means the internal comparison in run keyword and expect error has some issues processing characters in this case. Because with prefix of 'STARTS:' is working fine.
I am setting the Prefix EQUALS: instead and it is also working fine. I think there is a combi of character order in the error text triggering some wildcard search internally in the keyword and according to documentation EQUALS: prefix disables wildcards.
So the test should fine now.

What i am surprised for that we have never seen such a case with all other error text with xpaths in other unit tests.

@Nepitwin Thank you for your contribution but before i close this issue
I still want to change close_elment argument of click close to optional
by setting a default value for close_element = click_element.
i will make a new PR with the changes

from robotframework-flaui.

And after testing i will be adding the other intended keywords
Right Click Open
Right Click Close
Double Click Open
Double Click Close
