Date Picker

It is possible to find a date picker element by following attributes:

NameParameter(s)TypeDescription
datePickerdataTestIdstringSearches for a date picker by value of a Pega data-test-id attribute, same as datePickerByDataTestId
datePickerByDataTestIddataTestIdstringSearches for a date picker by value of a Pega data-test-id attribute, same as datePicker
datePickerByIdidstringSearches for a date picker by value of an id attribute
datePickerByCsscssstringSearches for a date picker by a custom scc selector
datePickerByXpathxpathstringSearches for a date picker by a custom xpath selector
datePickerByattributeNamestringSearches for a date picker by an attribute name and value
attributeValuestring

In addition to that, each date picker function provides an optional parameter container (to filter elements by sections, if required).

Main action functions

Any of these input controls accept string or number type of value but there is a specific type of value implemented mostly for date pickers: a Custom Date.

NameParameter(s)TypeDescription
setvaluestring / number / CustomDateSets the value. Accepts string or number, it is also possible to select the element by index (in options parameter)
options{ index?: number, timeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }
pastevaluestring / number / CustomDateHas the same functionality as set() but allows pasting text quickly. Attention! In many cases Pega applications "doesn't see" this pasted value, so if the further action is required, it is better to use set() or to add pressTab() step after paste() one
options{ index?: number, timeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }

Assertions

NameParameter(s)TypeDescription
shouldBeVisibleoptions?{ index?: number, timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }Checks if the element exists and is visible
shouldExistoptions?{ index?: number, timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }Checks if the element exists
shouldNotBeVisibleoptions?{ index?: number, timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }Checks if the element exists but is not visible
shouldNotExistoptions?{ index?: number, timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }Checks if the element does not exist
shouldHaveTextvaluestringChecks if the element's inner text contains a given string
options?{ index?: number, timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }
shouldNotHaveTextvaluestringChecks if the element's inner text does not contain a given string
options?{ index?: number, timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }
shouldHaveExactTextvaluestringChecks if the element's inner text is equal to a given string
options?{ index?: number, timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }
shouldNotHaveExactTextvaluestringChecks if the element's inner text is not equal to a given string
options?{ index?: number, timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }
shouldHaveValuevaluestringChecks if the element's value contains a given string
options?{ index?: number, timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }
shouldNotHaveValuevaluestringChecks if the element's value does not contain a given string
options?{ index?: number, timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }
shouldBeEnabledoptions?{ index?: number, timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }Checks if the element doesn't have a disabled attribute
shouldBeDisabledoptions?{ index?: number, timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }Checks if the element has a disabled attribute
shouldBeRequiredoptions?{ timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }Checks if the field is mandatory
shouldNotBeRequiredoptions?{ timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }Checks if the field is not mandatory
shouldHaveValidationTypevalidationTypestringChecks if the element's validation type is equal to a given one
options?{ timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }
shouldNotHaveValidationTypevalidationTypestringChecks if the element's validation type is not equal to a given one
options?{ timeout?: number, assertionTimeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }

Wait for functions

Simple wait for visibility functions

NameParameter(s)TypeDescription
waitUntilVisibilityoptions?{ timeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }Waits for the element to be visible
waitUntilInvisibilityoptions?{ timeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }Waits for the element to be invisible
waitUntilElementExistsoptions?{ timeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }Waits for the element to exist
waitUntilElementNotExistoptions?{ timeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }Waits for the element not to exist

Complex wait for visibility functions

Allow filtering of available elements by index, text, attribute:

NameParameter(s)TypeDescription
waitUntilVisibilityByTexttextstringFilters collection of elements by text and waits for the element to be visible
options?{ timeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }
waitUntilVisibilityByAttributeattributeNamestringFilters collection of elements by attribute and waits for the element to be visible
attributeValuestring
options?{ timeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }
waitUntilVisibilityByIndexindexnumberFilters collection of elements by index and waits for the element to be visible
options?{ timeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }
waitUntilInvisibilityByIndexindexnumberFilters collection of elements by index and waits for the element not to be visible
options?{ timeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }

Wait for a collection size functions

NameParameter(s)TypeDescription
waitUntilCollectionOfElementsSizeIsGreaterOrEqualexpectedSizenumberWaits until collection of elements have specific size (or there are more)
options?{ timeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }
waitUntilCollectionOfElementsSizeIsLessThanexpectedSizenumberWaits until collection of elements have fewer elements than specified
options?{ timeout?: number, interval?: number, retries?: number }

Actionability check

ActionabilityCheckTypes == attached | stable | visible | enabled | editable

NameParameter(s)TypeDescription
waitForSelectActionabilityCheckcheck types[]Waits for the element to pass all the selected actionability check types
isFilterByVisibilityboolean (true by default)

e.g.
