Hi,

this one is using selenese and time function. I like it because it also gives you time of script, I am using store value from script (storeeval). Next time you operate with Name variable you will get dynamic time.

 

<tr>
 <td>storeEval</td>
 <td>new Date().getHours()</td>
 <td>hodina</td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>storeEval</td>
 <td>new Date().getMinutes()</td>
 <td>minuta</td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>storeEval</td>
 <td>new Date().getDate()</td>
 <td>den</td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>storeEval</td>
 <td>new Date().getMonth()</td>
 <td>mesic</td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>store</td>
 <td>${mesic}${den}${hodina}${minuta}</td>
 <td>cas</td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>store</td>
 <td>XYZ ${cas}</td>
 <td>Name</td>
</tr>

Hi,

Do you have any script like to get or identify the dynamically genrated value by selenium,

 

My Problem is

For this reason I need to make identify the latest created (Dynamical  Task) to the selenium

 

It will be very help full to me if any one helped on this

I dont think you need script for that. You just have to use variable from previous script. The values of this dynamically created variable is stil in variable name. you can also store this variable using store funcion into another var.

<tr>
 <td>store</td>
 <td>${name}</td>
 <td>last_name</td>
</tr>

if you are using selenium IDE to orchestrate your script. selenium IDE remember all variables in current test suite and if you want to click on link that has this name you will just write.

 

<tr>
 <td>click</td>
 <td>link=${last_name}</td>
 <td></td>
</tr>

if you are using selenium RC you will need to create this var as global var.

Hi, Yes I am using firebug as well..

My problem get solved by using the below command

 

Click css=span:contains('selenium Task ${cas}')

Here (selenium Task ${cas}) is the value generated dynamically

 

Thanks allot for your help :)

Np. Your locator is going to be quite stable

 

You can you different aproach using Xpath

//span[contains(text(), "selenium Task ${cas}")]

 

but you need to remember that the selenium will look for first element with those values. if there will be 2 or more elements with this atribute it will always choose first one. But most of the time it is going to be very stable.
