void sendWhileNotFound(toSend, zone, elementtofind, elementtofindindex, timeout, delay)

Description​

Send given text while an element is not found.

There are a few KEY EVENTS (listed below) that can be used (such as the one in the following example)

Parameters​

Usage​

This command can be used in the navigation function, which will know how to identify the current location in the application and navigate to any other required page. This behaves as a recovery mechanism when a test fails.

Scenario: In the following example the starting point is the countries list page in the EriBank demo application. We will use the key event of {ESC} until the 'Logout' button is found to get back to the homepage of the application. 

Parameters:

  • ToSend: Will be set to "{ESC}"
  • Zone: will be set to "NATIVE"
  • ElementToFind: Will be set to text=Logout
  • Element to find index: will be set to "0"
  • Timeout: Waiting Timeout in milliseconds – will be set to "7000" (7 seconds).
  • Delay: will be set to "1000" (1 second).

Result: {ESC} will be sent 3 times until the logout button is identified. Once it has, the command will end and we will be able to click the logout button to get back to the login screen.

Key Events​

  • For the Home key use {Home}
  • For deleting text: {BKSP}
  • For unlocking and waking the device :{UNLOCK}
  • Closing the keyboard on the device: {CLOSEKEYBOARD}
  • Toggle orientation:
    • For landscape: {LANDSCAPE}
    • For Portrait: {PORTRAIT}
