Behat/Mink Unable to simulate click on button in footer [closed]

问题

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.

Closed 6 years ago.

Attempts to use the "Then I press" (for buttons) or "Then I follow" (for links) regex for items in the footer fails with error "element/link with id|link|name was not found.. " As an example I found this anomaly on this public site: earthdata.nasa.gov site (Our site is not yet active). The button that says "feedback" on the left of the screen is not clickable (sic).

I am running the test against the selenium 2.29.0 server. How do I extend Mink so that it can locate and "click" on a link such as the "Feedback" button mentioned above ?

回答1:

Rather than using the id to click the link, you can use XPath to click the link. XPath is a universal way of identifying objects within the DOM, so it'll always work.

For those who have who haven't used Behat, use this link to read more. It's basically a wrapper around Selenium's tools.

And use this to access the Selenium web automation testing site:

EDIT:

Ian: Thanks to MacGyver's Pointer HERE IS THE Solution:

/** Click on the element with the provided xpath query
 *
 * @When /^I click on the element with xpath "([^"]*)"$/
 */
public function iClickOnTheElementWithXPath($xpath)
{
    $session = $this->getSession(); // get the mink session
    $element = $session->getPage()->find(
        'xpath',
        $session->getSelectorsHandler()->selectorToXpath('xpath', $xpath)
    ); // runs the actual query and returns the element

    // errors must not pass silently
    if (null === $element) {
        throw new \InvalidArgumentException(sprintf('Could not evaluate XPath: "%s"', $xpath));
    }

    // ok, let's click on it
    $element->click();

}
