Can't look up components inside of PolymerTemplate about karibu-testing HOT 3 CLOSED

So, to sum it up:

• PolymerTemplate.getChildren() returns an empty list and it's going to stay like that.
• even if I used the VirtualChildrenList workaround, I would not able to enumerate all components inside of the PolymerTemplate since there will be no server-side counterpart constructed for any component without an Id; so no Button for <vaadin-button> without id;
• Even if I would be able to enumerate all of the components in a PolymerTemplate, it would be useless since you wouldn't be able to find a Button based on the caption since there is no DOM and the Button.text will be empty.

The only way is to access @Id-annotated fields in the PolymerTemplate directly, for example:

class ReviewsList : PolymerTemplate<TemplateModel>() {
    @Id("search")
    internal lateinit var search: TextField
    @Id("addReview")
    internal lateinit var addReview: Button
    // ...
}
test("create review") {
   val list = _get<ReviewsList>()
   list.addReview._click()
}

Can't fix - this is unfortunately how Vaadin 10 works and there is nothing I can do about it.

Example in Java:

public class ReviewsList extends PolymerTemplate<TemplateModel> {
    @Id("search")
    TextField search;
    @Id("addReview")
    Button addReview;
    // ...
}

@Test
public void createReviewTest() {
   ReviewsList list = _get(ReviewsList.class);
   _click(list.addReview);
}
