How to validate an input based on variable

[mmahra]

Hello,

I have a step where I have to enter an input and validate on the entered input
I have set this input as variable and added validation for the innertext to match the variable, however, the execution fails.

Hi,

Apparently, the InnerText attribute of NewPropName element is empty. Could you please post a Ranorex snapshot (NOT screenshot) of the element, along with the xpath you are using for this element in repo?

My guess is that the InnerText of NewPropName is simply empty? Or the xpath of NewPropName returns more than one element and one of them has empty InnerText?

XPath: /dom[@domain='banzai-3001-0-0-432edda-3.jivelandia.com']//input[#'newPropName']

Hi,

Thanks for the snapshot and xpath. As I've expected, the InnerText of given element is empty. So the validation is correct...

So How can I validate that the input field has the entered value in the key sequence?.
Actually validation are big challenge to me, everything passes when I just set it to "Exists" but it might fail in actual execution,however, Ranorex is execution success.

Hi,

Validation "Exists" validates the existence of pointed repo element, not its content. So if the element exists validation passes. If you want to validate the content of an element, you must validate a proper attribute, which contains the entered text.

Could you please create a snapshot of the problematic input element AFTER the input is filled with text? Ideally, add create snapshot action right after KeySequence action. Then simply check, in which property is store the entered text.
