Refer the article New Selenium IDE – Commands (Selenese), for the complete list of Selenium IDE commands and their practical demonstrations.
verify editable is one of the commands in Selenium IDE.
The purpose of verify editable command in Selenium IDE, is to check whether the given field is in an editable state.
Difference between assert editable and verify editable commands
Though the purpose of assert editable and verify editable commands are same, verify editable command will act as a soft assertion.
If the verify editable command fails in Selenium IDE, the execution won’t stop and the steps which come after the failed verify editable step will be executed.
Whereas if the assert editable command fails during execution, the complete execution will stop there itself and the steps which come after the failed assert editable command won’t be executed.
In this article, I am going to practically demonstrate verify editable command in Selenium IDE for checking whether the given field is in the editable state as shown below:
Let’s get started.
New Selenium IDE – Using ‘verify editable’ command to check whether the target field is editable
Follow the below steps for practicing verify editable command in Selenium IDE along with me:
1) Execute the open command in Selenium IDE as explained in the previous article: Selenium IDE – open command
2) Now click on the second row in the Selenium IDE’s Test Script Editor Box as shown below:
3) While the second row is selected in step 2, enter the Selenium IDE command ‘verify editable’ to the Command box field, enter the name locating strategy name=q into the Target box field as shown below:
Note: The locating strategy name=q is for locating the text field on the http://omayo.blogspot.com/ URL page (Shown at the beginning of the article).
4) Click on ‘Run current test’ option as shown below:
5) Observe that the verify editable command in the Selenium IDE will be executed, and the result will be passed as shown below:
We have checked that the required text field is in the editable state (i.e. You can write text into it). If the required field is not in an editable state, then you will get a failure message as shown below:
Here concludes the practical demonstration of verify editable command in Selenium IDE.
As already explained above, verify editable command when failed won’t stop the complete execution and the steps which come after the verify editable command will be executed. Whereas assert editable command when failed will stop the complete execution and the steps which come after the assert editable command won’t be executed. The below screenshot proves it:
In the next article, I will practically demonstrate another Selenium IDE command.
