Different refresh button in browsers

[Haydar Can GüngörParticipant]

Hello,

I’ve got the Problem, that i want to use the refresh button of the browsers, which i included like an image into my zaptest script. In my script i am using 3 different types of Browsers. Now the problem is, that all of these three have different images for the refresh button. It works only with one of these three browsers for me. Is it possible to solve that?

Hello Guengoha,

There are different ways to address this.
1. If you have a parameter for browser type, you can use it in IF…ELSE block. You need separate objects for each Refresh button – you can scan different browsers using separate apps/views. You script may look like this:
If Datatable.Value(“Browser”)=”ie” then
Application(“Application_IE”).View(“View_IE”).Object(“Refresh”).Click
Elseif Datatable.Value(“Browser”)=”chrome” then
Application(“Application_CHROME”).View(“View_CHROME”).Object(“Refresh”).Click
Elseif Datatable.Value(“Browser”)=”firefox” then
Application(“Application_FIREFOX”).View(“View_FIREFOX”).Object(“Refresh”).Click
end if

2. If you are not using parameter for browser, you can perform simple check if Refresh object exists. You also need separate objects for each browser’s Refresh button.
If Application(“Application_IE”).View(“View_IE”).Object(“Refresh”).Exist(5000,false) then
Application(“Application_IE”).View(“View_IE”).Object(“Refresh”).Click
Elseif Application(“Application_CHROME”).View(“View_CHROME”).Object(“Refresh”).Exist(5000,false) then
Application(“Application_CHROME”).View(“View_CHROME”).Object(“Refresh”).Click
Elseif Application(“Application_FIREFOX”).View(“View_FIREFOX”).Object(“Refresh”).Exist(5000,false) then
Application(“Application_FIREFOX”).View(“View_FIREFOX”).Object(“Refresh”).Click
end if

3. Since most browsers use same key combination for reload (CTRL+R), you can use this code (should work for any browser):
zap.Keyboard.KeyDown zap.Keys.Ctrl
zap.Keyboard.KeyPress zap.Keys.R
zap.Keyboard.KeyUp zap.Keys.Ctrl
