The last example
ui.Container(uid: "Link", clocator: [tag: "a"],respond : ['click']){
TextBox(uid: "Bar", clocator: [tag: "span", text: "Bar", direct: "true"])
}
click "Link"
won't work because the definition of your "Link" will match both links in your
document not just the one that contains the span with text "Bar".
If you modify it to include the group attribute as the following
ui.Container(uid: "Link", clocator: [tag: "a"],respond : ['click'], group:
'true'){
TextBox(uid: "Bar", clocator: [tag: "span", text: "Bar", direct: "true"])
}
Then it should work, however this to me is very ugly code (very typical of
tools that autogenerate code) especially if you want to model both links. To me
it would make more sense to model your example as
ui.Container(uid:'menu', clocator: [tag:'div', class:'menu']) {
UrlLink(uid:'foo', clocator: [text: 'Foo'])
UrlLink(uid:'bar', clocator: [text: 'Bar'])
}
which is a lot simpler and easier to read than the autogenerated code.
