[wtr-general] Re: Checking whether the text in the password field is masked or not
You could verify something like this: browser.text_field(:name = pw).attribute_value(type) == password This checks that it is a password field and if it is a password field then the password is masked by the browser. If you have a requirement that it is masked and you don't trust browsers in this case then you should just start trusting :) Jarmo On Feb 2, 9:12 pm, bis bis...@gmail.com wrote: sikuli might work for you On Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 2:05 PM, Eric Mathiesen mathiese...@gmail.comwrote: It is out of scope, that's why I recomended a manual verification of the condition under test.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Checking whether the text in the password field is masked or not
why not just take a screenshot and visually verify?

Well, I wanted some sort of confirmation before I get into a heated argument with my team lead. Thus, I posted it here. Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it.
