Notes

Steps to replace anchor and/or anchor pos by XPath

  1. In startup settings, declare the anchor pos built-in setting with the value of yes. (Learn more.)
  2. Execute your tests.
  3. After the tests are finished, find the report file located at C:\Users\Public\LogiGear\TestArchitect\log. Filename of the report is anchors_report_<resultName>.txt, such as, anchors_report_ActionBasedTesting (2017-10-19 13.40.36) - 7292.txt
  4. Open the report file by using MS Excel spreadsheet.
  5. Repeat the below steps for each of anchor and/or anchor pos which are replaced by XPath.
    1. In the report file, from the Entity URL column, copy and paste URL of a project item to File Explorer, and then press the Enter key. TestArchitect navigates exactly to the desired item.

    2. For static identifiers:

      1. Copy the value from the XPath column in the report file.
      2. Manually modify anchor and/or anchor pos to XPath in TestArchitect’s test editors.

    3. For dynamic identifiers:

      1. Copy the value from the Element XPath Definition column in the report file.
      2. Replace the dynamic definitions of anchor and/or anchor pos by the dynamic definitions of XPath in TestArchitect’s test editors.
