In Protractor, how does one handle repeated content, from say a table? For example, given the following code, that kicks out a table with 3 columns: Index
, Name
and Delete-Button
in each row:
<table class="table table-striped">
<tr ng-repeat="row in rows | filter : search" ng-class="{'muted':isTemp($index)}">
<td>{{$index+1}}</td>
<td>{{row}}</td>
<td>
<button class="btn btn-danger btn-mini" ng-click="deleteRow(row)" ng-hide="isTemp($index)"><i class="icon-trash icon-white"></i></button>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
And in my test I need to click the delete button based on a given name. What's the best way to find this in Protractor?
I know I could grab the rows.colum({{row}})
text, get the index of that, and then click on the button[index]
, but I'm hoping for a more elegant solution.
For example, in Geb, you could pass a row locator to a module, that would then dice up each row with column indicators. And that solution has me eyeing Protractors map method...
You can use map or filter. The api would look like this:
var name = 'some name';
// This is like element.all(by.css(''))
return $$('.table.table-stripe tr').filter(function(row) {
// Get the second column's text.
return row.$$('td').get(2).getText().then(function(rowName) {
// Filter rows matching the name you are looking for.
return rowName === name;
});
}).then(function(rows) {
// This is an array. Find the button in the row and click on it.
rows[0].$('button').click();
});

Here is how I am doing something similar in my application using Protractor against a Kendo grid:
I have a page object that has the following functions:
// Query all table rows (tr) inside the kendo grid content container
this.getGrid = function () {
return element.all(by.css('.k-grid-content tr'));
};
// Use the given rows element finder to query for the delete button within the context of the row
this.getDeleteButtonInRow = function (row) {
return row.element(by.css(".btn.delete"));
};
Then I use these functions in my test like so:
// Verify that a delete button appears in every row of the grid
var grid = pageObj.getGrid();
grid.each(function (row) {
var deleteButton = downloadsPage.getDeleteButtonInRow(row);
expect(deleteButton.isDisplayed()).toBe(true);
});
Here's my solution, based on @Andres solution, that I used in my page object:
this.deleteFriend = function(nameString) {
return this.rows.filter(function(row) {
// find the row with the name we want...
return row.$$('td').get(1).getText().then(function(name) {
return name === nameString;
});
}).then(function(filteredRows) {
filteredRows[0].$('i.icon-trash').click();
});
};
