How to verify hidden objects in a page using fanfare

Hi,

 

      I need to automate a scenario where after enabling certain option (say an option A) in a page by clicking checkbox, some other objects (say object B) in the same page will get hidden. I need to verify whether after enabling the checkbox A, the object B got hidden. How to verify this scenario using fanfare. I have tried using performing actions to hidden object like getInnerText, description, show table, but in all cases the hidden object is recognised. Looking the page manually the object is hidden but via script using fanfare the hidden object is recognised. Could you please let me know how to solve this issue ?

 

Thanks,

Gnans.

After you perform your click checkbox action, you can use "snapshot" to get an XML representation of  whole page. Now you can use XPATH query to check:

1. either your control count is zero (if it has completely disappeared from the tree of controls)

2. check if your specified control has some sort of attribute which suggests that it is disabled.

If you post the contents of the response and structure for the snapshot step and tell us what control you are interested in, someone may post a solution for you.

A better way would be to use "describe" on the control. 

Snapshot does not contain all possible propertiees of a control.
