SAPUI5 OPA5 How to trigger a select event - integration-testing

Below a typical action to test if a sap.m.Select contains an item with the name xyz and then select it.
success: function(oSelect) {
var oItems = oSelect.getItems();
$.each(oItems, function(i,v) {
if(oItems[i].getText() === "TestItemNameILikeToSelect") {
oTestOpa5TestItem = oItems[i];
}
});
if(oTestOpa5TestItem !== null) {
oSelect.setSelectedKey(oTestOpa5TestItem.getKey());
oTestOpa5TestItem.$().trigger("tap");
}
},
When I start the test run it does correctly select the proper item from the list and sets it visibly in the browser, but it does not trigger the attached event that is behind (e.g. change="onListItemChanged").
My application works fine, but I don't find a way to create a working test for it.
Thanks in advance

OPA5 has an 'Action' interface and two default implementations e.g. 'EnterText' and 'Press'. The recommended usage is to define an action block on the waitFor() options like this:
When.waitFor({
id: "myButton",
actions: new Press()
});
What you use is the 'old way' but it has some shortcomings:
success block is not synchronized with XHR requests but action is.
Sending a click/tap event to a control could require selecting some internal element. Imagine a click to nav container - there are several places you could click actually. Actions handle those details and define a standard behavior you could depend on.
It is better to encapsulate your selection logic inside a matchers block and even abstract it to a custom matcher. This way your success block will be cleaner and you could reuse the matcher in several places in your test.
OPA5 Actions

Have a look at the official UI5 Demo Kit, under samples > OPA5 > Code: Simulating user interactions on UI5 controls with OPA5, You will be able to find numerous examples of OPA 5 testing regarding general user interactions. In your case for the select:
opaTest("Should select an item in a sap.m.Select", function(Given, When, Then) {
When.waitFor({
id: "mySelect",
actions: new Press(),
success: function(oSelect) {
this.waitFor({
controlType: "sap.ui.core.Item",
matchers: [
new Ancestor(oSelect),
new Properties({ key: "Germany"})
],
actions: new Press(),
success: function() {
Opa5.assert.strictEqual(oSelect.getSelectedKey(), "Germany", "Selected Germany");
},
errorMessage: "Cannot select Germany from mySelect"
});
},
errorMessage: "Could not find mySelect"
});
});

Protractor e2e test fullcalendar drag & drop

I need to simulate a drag & drop on fullcalendar in the week view with protractor. I found something with coordinates but I'd like a "no browser window dependent solution"... ther's also no way out on finding the exact starting cell in the week view by class or id ...or at least, I couldn't figure how to select a single cell of a row of a day because, using the Chrome's item selector, it seems every row has the same class fc-widget-content and cells are not "selectable" elements.
Are there any other chances?
maybe this is a little bit helpful (also very later ;). I also want to test my app with FullCalendar, but I'm using Cypress (similar to Protractor).
We plan items from an external list and assign it to a resource on a certain day/time in the FullCalendar (we use the scheduler plugin).
I found out that the drag and drop event is somehow intercepted by code, enriching it with for example properties of the event (like date, title and others). How I enriched this data is in the Cypress trigger('drop', data) command. Data is the evenData that is set by the Draggable class:
// Executed on the external list items, where every item we want to plan has class `.fc-event`.
this.draggableContainer = new Draggable(this.containerEl.nativeElement, {
itemSelector: '.fc-event',
eventData(eventEl) {
const id = eventEl.dataset.id;
return {
duration,
id: currentWorkItem.id,
title: currentWorkItem.description,
extendedProps: {
duration,
customRender: true,
data: currentWorkItem,
},
};
}
Then, in your test file (Cypress)
const eventData = {
date: new Date(),
dateStr: new Date().toISOString(),
draggedEl: {
dataset: {
notificationId: '123',
priority: '0',
title: 'Test',
},
},
jsEvent: null,
resource: {
id: '123',
},
event: null,
oldEvent: null,
};
cy.get('.fc-event') // selector for the external event I want to drag in the calendar
.trigger('dragstart')
.get('.fc-time-grid table tr[data-time="07:00:00"] td.fc-widget-content:nth-child(2)') // selector for where I want to drop the event.
.trigger('drop', eventData) // this will fire the eventDrop event
So, .trigger('drop', eventData) will fill the eventDrop info. It is not exactly the same as doing it manually, but works for me.
Caveats:
I haven't found a way to plan it on another resource (we use the resource scheduling plugin of FullCalendar.io). It does not matter that much, because you can specify it in the evenData (resource: { id: 'my-resource-id' } }.
No visual feedback because the drag mirror is not shown. Not a big problem during e2e testing, but it is a bit of a blackbox now. Maybe this is fixable

How to invoke search field in OPA5 tests

My view contains a sap.m.SearchField.
How can I invoke the search in that field? The usual trigger("tap") approach does not seem to work.
After some debugging I found out that a combination of the pseudo events saptouchstart and saptouchend triggered in the magnifying glass icon within the search field works.
return this.waitFor({
id: "mySearchField",
viewName: sViewName,
success: function (control) {
var event, searchIcon;
event = jQuery.Event( "saptouchend" );
event.originalEvent = event; // would otherwise cause NPE at some point in SAP code
searchIcon = control.$().find("div[id*=mySearchField-search]");
searchIcon.trigger("saptouchstart").trigger(event);
},
errorMessage: "Search field not found"
});
This can also be done with the following one-liner (source):
$(theSearchField).trigger("onSearch");
But maybe this is only possible with a more recent version of UI5 than the one used by you.
Another solution approach would be to use an EnterText action, which not only enters the search term ("foobar" in the following example), but also triggers the search afterwards:
this.waitFor({
id: "mySearchField",
actions: [ new sap.ui.test.actions.EnterText({ text: "foobar" }) ]
});

How to switch IconTabBar in OPA5 tests

My view contains a IconTabBar with various IconTabFilters.
How can I switch the currently active tab to another one? The usual trigger("tap") approach does not seem to work.
After some debugging I figured out that pseudo event saptouchend triggered on the icon within the IconTabFilter works.
return this.waitFor({
id: "mySecondTab-icon",
viewName: sViewName,
success: function (control) {
control.$().trigger("saptouchend");
},
errorMessage: "Second IconTabFilter not found in IconTabBar"
});
I like your solution
Normally I look at the QUnit tests for the control and hope they have done something similar
eg
// Press SPACE key on second IconTabFilter to expand
sap.ui.test.qunit.triggerKeydown(oControl.$(), jQuery.sap.KeyCodes.SPACE);
UPDATE:
just noticed a solution in the TEST Tutorial - not sure i like it though as it doesn't simulate user interaction
iPressOnTheTabWithTheKey: function (sKey) {
return this.waitFor({
id: "iconTabBar",
viewName : sViewName,
success: function (oIconTabBar) {
oIconTabBar.setSelectedKey(sKey);
},
errorMessage: "Cannot find the icon tab bar"
});
}
An easy way to do that can we to use the id/icon to pick the iconTab which you want and then add a action to it, which in your case will be a press.
iClickOnSecondIconTabBAr: function() {
return this.waitFor({
controlType: "sap.m.IconTabFilter",
matchers: new sap.ui.test.matchers.Properties({
icon: "sap-icon://inspection"
}),
actions: new Press(),
errorMessage: "Did not find the IconTabBar Button!"
});
}

manage views with css or regions in Backbone Marionette

I am working on a page having lot of input-controls and related divs. There are use-cases on this page where I am suppossed to show/hide the divs depending on the order of user clicking on input-controls in various follow-up screens.
Now the divs are all there in first load itself and by showing/hiding, the screen changes for the user. Now to show/hide I can use css and add view* class to .main content div depending on business logic.
ex.:
.main div{
display: none;
}
.main.view1 div.a,.main.view1 div.b,.main.view1 div.f{
display:block;
}
.main.view2 div.c,.main.view2 div.f {
display:block;
}
.main.view3 div.c,.main.view3 div.f {
display:block;
}
....etc
But this way the no. of css classes are getting unmanageable.
Please suggest if there is a better method I can use wherein it becomes easy to manage the user-flows. I think there are regions in marionette which can help me manage this. Please suggest the best way and elaborate if the answer is marionette.regions
You can model the application as a state machine to model complicated workflows.
To define a state machine:
Define all the states that your application can be in.
Define the set of actions that are allowed in each state. Each action will transition the state of the application from one state to another.
Write the business logic for each action which includes both persisting changes to the server and also changing the state of the views accordingly.
This design is similar to creating a DFA, but you can add extra behaviour according to your needs.
If this sounds too abstract, here's an example of a simple state machine.
Let's say you're building a simple login application.
Design the States and Actions
INITIAL_STATE: The user visits the page for the first time and both fields are empty. Let's say you only want to make the username visible, but not the password in this state. (Similar to the new Gmail workflow)
USERNAME_ENTRY_STATE: When the user types in the username and hits return, in this state, you want to display the username and hide the password. You can have onUsernameEntered as an action in this state.
PASSWORD_ENTRY_STATE: Now, the username view will be hidden and the password view will be shown. When the user hits return, you have to check if the usernames and passwords match. Let's call this action onPasswordEntered
AUTHENTICATED_STATE: When the server validates the username/password combination, let's say you want to show the home page. Let's call this action onAuthenticated
I have omitted handling the Authentication Failed case for now.
Design the Views:
In this case, we have the UsernameView and the PasswordView
Design the Models:
A single Auth model suffices for our example.
Design the Routes:
Check out the best practices for handling routes with Marionette. The state machine should be initialized in the login route.
Sample Pseudo-Code:
I've only shown the code relevant to managing the state machine. Rendering and event handling can be handled as usual;
var UsernameView = Backbone.View.extend({
initialize: function(options) {
this.stateMachine = options.stateMachine;
},
onUserNameEntered: function() {
username = //get username from DOM;
this.stateMachine.handleAction('onUserNameEntered', username)
},
show: function() {
//write logic to show the view
},
hide: function() {
//write logic to hide the view
}
});
var PasswordView = Backbone.View.extend({
initialize: function(options) {
this.stateMachine = options.stateMachine;
},
onPasswordEntered: function() {
password = //get password from DOM;
this.stateMachine.handleAction('onPasswordEntered', password)
},
show: function() {
//write logic to show the view
},
hide: function() {
//write logic to hide the view
}
});
Each state will have an entry function which will initialize the views and and exit function which will cleanup the views. Each state will also have functions corresponding to the valid actions in that state. For example:
var BaseState = function(options) {
this.stateMachine = options.stateMachine;
this.authModel = options.authModel;
};
var InitialState = BaseState.extend({
entry: function() {
//show the username view
// hide the password view
},
exit: function() {
//hide the username view
},
onUsernameEntered: function(attrs) {
this.authModel.set('username', attrs.username');
this.stateMachine.setState('PASSWORD_ENTRY_STATE');
}
});
Similarly, you can write code for other states.
Finally, the State Machine:
var StateMachine = function() {
this.authModel = new AuthModel;
this.usernameView = new UserNameView({stateMachine: this});
//and all the views
this.initialState = new InitialState({authModel: this.authModel, usernameView: this.usernameView});
//and similarly, all the states
this.currentState = this.initialState;
};
StateMachine.prototype = {
setState: function(stateCode) {
this.currentState.exit(); //exit from currentState;
this.currentState = this.getStateFromStateCode(stateCode);
this.currentState.entry();
},
handleAction: function(action, attrs) {
//check if action is valid for current state
if(actionValid) {
//call appropriate event handler in currentState
}
}
};
StateMachine.prototype.constructor = StateMachine;
For a simple application this seems to be an overkill. For complicated business logic, it is worth the effort. This design pattern automatically prevents cases such as double-clicking on a button, since you would have already moved on to the next state and the new state does not recognise the previous state's action.
Once you have built the state machine, other members of your team can just plug in their states and views and also can see the big picture in a single place.
Libraries such as Redux do some of the heavy-lifting shown here. So you may want to consider React + Redux + Immutable.js as well.

Angular ui-router setup for this use case?

I want to redraw a line in a line chart without reloading it (neither template nor controller) completely when navigating from country/5 to country/7. Can this be done with ui-router?
State
country/:id
Template with directive - country.html
<lineChart data="scope.someData">
Controller
onStateParamsChange => fetch data, set scope.someData
As of today, there is no official support for what you're looking for, which in UI Router parlance is considered 'dynamic parameters'. However, if you check out this experimental branch and help us out by testing and providing feedback, it will get merged to master sooner.
Set up your route/state like so:
$stateProvider.state("country", {
url: "/country/{id:int}",
params: { id: { dynamic: true } }
/* other state configuration here */
});
Then, in your controller, you can observe changes to id like so:
$stateParams.$observe("id", function(val) {
// val is the updated value of $stateParams.id
// Here's where you can do your logic to fetch new data & update $scope
});
