Website generates dynamic ID for Selenium IDE

Working with Selenium IDE 2.9.1, a plugin for Firefox, I am trying to store the dynamically created ID of a new document and open it at the end. For example:

  • I create a document, and the DataBase automatically assigns the ID: dp_137282

  • Following this, there is Selenium code that performs other tasks.

  • However, at the end, Selenium should locate my document by its ID and open it using a double click command.

Please review the code below:

<div id="content" style="height: 373px; width: 1324px;">
<div class="main-content" rel="kancelaria/rkp/rkp-faktury/type//rok_roboczy/2017">
<h3 class="gray">
<form class="form" action="kancelaria/rkp/rkp-faktury/type//rok_roboczy/2017" onsubmit="">
<input style="display:none;" value="asd" type="submit">
<div id="flex-list">
<table id="kancelaria-rkp-index" class="dark-gray overlap" style="width:100%;" headlines="">
<thead>
<tr id="dp_137282" class="multi-selectable" style="" ondblclick="this.className += ' doubleclicked'; Load.Content('kancelaria/rkp/szczegoly-rkp-faktury/id/dp_137282')" data-b="kancelaria/rkp/szczegoly-rkp-faktury/id/dp_137282" onclick="" data-status="">

At the end, I used xpath in the Target field:

xpath=(//td[@onclick=' '])[7]

I have noticed that newly created documents by Selenium always appear at the top, so opening them shouldn't be an issue, but I prefer not to rely on this behavior. If anyone knows a solution and can share it, I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer №1

If you need to save the ID attribute from a <td> tag, you can make use of the storeAttribute command.

For example:

<tr>
    <td>storeAttribute</td>
    <td>xpath=//table[@id='kancelaria-rkp-index']/thead/tr/@id</td>
    <td>dynamicvalue</td>
</tr>

This code snippet will capture and store the dynamic ID value.

Once you have stored the ID, you can then retrieve and use it like this:

<tr>
    <td>echo</td>
    <td>${dynamicvalue}</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

To display the value of the ID attribute

<tr>
    <td>clickAndWait</td>
    <td>id=${dynamicvalue}</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

To click on an element with the stored ID attribute
