Storing variabels after reading them from a page.

Hi all,

 

I’ve been searching the manual for this, but don’t really see the functionality I need. Here is the problem: In a basket I need to check if the functionality to change the number of products to order works. To do this I want webtest to read the price, then change the number, then read the price again and check if it has been multiplied by the number selected. So I need a way to store variables after reading them from a page (no idea),  and a way to multiply and compare these variabeles (I think this might work in the ifstep test).

 

Regards,

Hi Niels,

 

What I do is the following:

- read from the page: storeXpath; using this you can store the value in a property. E.g.
<storeXPath

      description="get the price "

      xpath="<xpath expression to get your price>"

      property="price_before"

/>

 

The property price_before contains the price.

 

- Now you change the number (=theNumber; e.g. 5).

 

- read you price again

<storeXPath

      description="get the price "

      xpath="<xpath expression to get your price>"

      property="price_after"

/>

 

- compare

<verifyXPath

      xpath="number(#{price_before})*5 = number(#{price_after})"

/>

 

- remark that you can also assign 5 to the variable by doing

                        <var

                              name="theNumber"

                              value="5”

                        />

 

- then you can make the compare statement

<verifyXPath

      xpath="number(#{price_before})*number(${theNumber}) = number(#{price_after})"

/>
