Laravel Dusk + Vue with ElementUI

Question

I need help writting test with Laravel Dusk. I'm using Vue with ElementUI. I really like this framework, however, I can't use Dusk's build-in select() method in my tests.

It's because the select component of ElementUI does not generate a real <select> tag, instead, it creates a normal <input> (that is readonly) and, at bottom of the page, the popper with select's options, so, there is not a <select> tag in my page, only a <div> and a readonly <input>.

How can I write a test with Dusk that lets me click on a 'div'??

If I try to type on that input with something like this:

// $browser->select('my_select_id'); not working,
$browser->type('my_select_id', 1);

It throws me an Exception:

Facebook\WebDriver\Exception\InvalidElementStateException: invalid element state: Element must be user-editable in order to clear it.

So I don't know how to test ElementUI's selects :(

Please help,

Thx!

Posting html generated by ElementUI:

    <div class="el-select w-100 el-select--mini" value="0" title="Cliente" dusk="v-select-component">
        <div class="el-input el-input--mini el-input--suffix">
            <input autocomplete="off" placeholder="Cliente" size="mini" name="client_id" id="client_id" readonly="readonly" type="text" rows="2" class="el-input__inner">

                        <li class="el-select-dropdown__item"><span>Item 2</span></li>
                    </ul>
                </div>
                <div class="el-scrollbar__bar is-horizontal">
                    <div class="el-scrollbar__thumb" style="transform: translateX(0%);"></div>
                </div>
                <div class="el-scrollbar__bar is-vertical">
                    <div class="el-scrollbar__thumb" style="transform: translateY(0%);"></div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

Edit 2:

I added a simple JSFiddle with ElementUI's select example. I simply want to test that select with Laravel Dusk

Answer 1

@Lionslair is right: If you use more than one el-select in your page, @JonasStaudenmeir's solution returns error.

To make it works, i use javascript execution. You can add this function in your custom Browser or in your Component :

public function elSelectDropdownClose(Browser $browser)
{
    $browser->script(
<<<EOT
    Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.el-select-dropdown.el-popper:not([style*=\"display: none\"])')).map(function(el){
        el.style.display = 'none'
    })
EOT
    );
}
public function elSelectDropdownClick(Browser $browser, $index)
{
    $browser->script(
<<<EOT
    document.querySelectorAll('.el-select-dropdown.el-popper:not([style*=\"display: none\"]) .el-select-dropdown__item')[$index].click()
EOT
    );
    $this->elSelectDropdownClose($browser);
}

To run test :

$browser
    ->click('.el-select.first')
    ->elSelectDropdownClick(0);

$browser
    ->click('.el-select.second')
    ->elSelectDropdownClick(2);

Answer 2

You have to click on the .el-select element and wait for the popper to open up:

$browser->click('.el-select');
$browser->waitFor('.el-select-dropdown.el-popper');

Then you can select an option by index:

$browser->elements('.el-select-dropdown__item')[2]->click();

Or by text:

$selector = "//li[@class='el-select-dropdown__item']/span[text()='Option3']";
$browser->driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::xpath($selector))->click();

I don't see a way to select options by value, since the values aren't anywhere in the HTML.

This works only if you only have one el-select on the page when you have multiple there is no way to identify them or add an identifier
