I couldn't find much information or useful examples to understand how this method works on a Javascript UI testing framework. I have the following element which is returned in an array:

console.log(elementarray[0]);

{ ELEMENT: '25',
  'element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf': '25',
  selector: '[data="abc"]',
  value: { ELEMENT: '25' },
  index: 0 }

however when I run:

browser.elementIdText(elementarray[0].ELEMENT)

I see this:

{ state: 'success',
  sessionId: 'af7ef2fb-7d1d-456e-ad14-c5c1fd9d83c2',
  hCode: 1013623656,
  value: '17:55',
  class: 'org.openqa.selenium.remote.Response',
  _status: 0 }

How exactly is browser.elementIdText working here, can anyone provide a simple explanation with an example pls. I see information here that I am not seeing when I log the first item in the array and surely the value of elementarray[0].ELEMENT is just 25 right? as it's shown in the first property of the object?

Thanks for any useful replies.

elementIdText expect ID as argument. In order to get ID, you need to use allElem.value[0].ELEMENT for example. See below code.

describe('allx', () => {

it('allx', () => {

  browser.url("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/");
  allElem=browser.elements('//div[2]/div/ul/li/a');
  console.log(allElem.value[0].ELEMENT)
  text=browser.elementIdText(allElem.value[0].ELEMENT).value;
  console.log(text);
 });
});

  • Can you just break this down a little please, so allElem becomes a collection of every div and ul, li and a element on the page? I see that this returns 38 elements. The value property on these elements says [object], so how is this accessed and what is the ELEMENT property of this value object? – j obe Nov 06 '18 at 10:38
  • I mean I see what you're doing, can you just explain what's happening at the different points, thanks. – j obe Nov 06 '18 at 10:39
