Element position in website

[rbnfdez]

Hi @ll,
I'm automating a website, and i'm looking for a way to know the position (X,Y axis) of
an element to assure in each regression test the element is always placed in the same position.
For instance, i have the following web element in ranorex:

ButtonTag Ingresar = JuegosOnline.FindSingle("/dom[1]//button[#'btnLogin']");
// element definition
Ingresar.EnsureVisible(); // assure is visibled

Is there any way to do that?

thanks in advance,
ruben

Use RanorexSpy to look at your Element(s). You should be able to find the information you want from the .ScreenRectangle.Location.X & .ScreenRectangle.Location.Y attributes...

Thanks for the answer.
the problem is in Spy that atributes appear in "disabled" color, ans i can not acces them.
I have tried with this code (itps for another element):

InputTag Beta = Contacto.FindSingle("/dom[1]//div[#'wpcf7-f605-p79-o1']/form/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/span/input");
try{
Validate.Attribute(Beta,"Visible","True");
Validate.Attribute(Beta,"Enabled","True");
Validate.Attribute(Beta,"TagName","input");
Validate.Attribute(Beta,"Name","name");
Validate.Attribute(Beta,"ScreenLocation.X","522");
Validate.Attribute(Beta,"ScreenLocation.Y","552");
}catch (Exception e)
{
Report.Failure("error :"+e);
}

But the last Attributes ScreenLocation.X & ScreenLocation.Y generate the following error:

Attribute 'ScreenLocation.X' of element '{InputTag:name}' does not match the specified value (actual='(null)', expected='522').

Hello,

Unfortunately, you could not use Validate.Attribute to validate ScreenRectangle or ScreenLocation from your element. Please check the value with a common IF-ELSE statement.

You should be able to get this value by the following code:

Report.Info(Beta.ScreenRectangle.X.toString());

Another way would be to use the method Validate.AreEqual().

Hi Rubén,

Is your item loaded with AJAX? Because I had a similar issue with a form loaded with AJAX. I didn't request the position, only interact with it but a homemade workaround fixed it.

Hope next release solves it...

Hello,

Thank you for your feature request.

ScreenLocation is not returned as an attribute. This is by design.
Additionally, "AttributeName.PropertyName" is only supported for a few technologies.

Therefore, I recommend to use Validate.AreEqual().
