Hi Mauro,
Thank you for follow up.
I just resolved this by using Java reflection to get the step string
value.
But..., I have another more important issue need to figure out: My
boss asked me to develop a *"Visual" GUI style* BDD function, which uses
javascript alert/confirm popup window to prompt user what is the exact step
the running test reaches, eg:
Given I goto "www.a.com"
When I login
So we want to add *Javascript alert window to popup during the
automation test*, the popped up window has the "OK" button, so when user
click the OK button, the test will continue to the next step, and so on...
My issue is: I wrote a javascript func using Selenium's *executeScript
*API which invoke the pop up alert window:
*public void stepText(String step){*
* executeScript("alert('"+step+"');");*
* }*
So I expect when I click the OK button, the popped up window
will disappear and test will continue to next step... *But what shocked me
is that when I click it, the test throw exception and crashed...*
*
*
The exception is: selenium.WebDriverException
But I found if I add the following code to make the test
automatically detect the alert window and accept it by using the following
usual selenium alert handle function:
*Alert alert=switchTo().alert();*
* alert.accept();*
This can make the test runs well, so it looks *I can NOT
manually click the alert (after I manually click, the selenium still can
NOT go back to the browser...lost connection to browser?), but the
automation alert handle code works...*
Of course, *we want to let user to manually to click alert
window to control the test execution, not the automation handle alert*.
I really got stuck here for a while, and did a lot googling
to search, but can not find similar example online, I hope you can shed me
light on it, since you are much more guru than me on JBehave and Selenium.
I will be much grateful if you can help me out.
Kind Regards,
Brian
