New to ember.js -- used http://yoember.com/ to create a Demo ember.js site. I'm trying to figure out how to use Protractor to test certain elements, but I'm encountering issues specifying them.
Most, but not all, elements (buttons, text areas, etc) have a serialized id value: id='ember###' that changes every time the page is reloaded, which makes it impossible to indicate some elements in Protractor (like, element(by.id('ember557')).sendKeys('foo');).
Running a command like the one above will return the error: Failed: No element found using locator: By(css selector, *[id="ember557"]), which is due to the 3-digit id value changing.
In my demo app, I was able to go into the /app/templates/components/ file for that page and manually add something like id='name' into the handlebars input and was able to successfully find and test that element in Protractor.
This isn't ideal though, and I'd like to find a way to test sites that I don't have the ability to modify the html of.
Can anyone help me wrap my head around this? Thanks.

I'd like to start by asking Mapbox - please - to put documentation on their site that explains how to set up and start doing a simple test. There are many tests in their code on Github, but after days of reading and attempting to test I have failed to understand how they work.
I have a very simple method that:
updates some geoJson with some new coordinates and a new heading (rotation) for a marker.
uses setSource to set the changed Json to the Map
I would like to run my little method in a test and then check that the new coordinates have arrived in the Map.
Should be a piece of cake!
Now a Map needs a browser or similar. Yes, there's jsdom, which is almost certainly what is needed, but I have not discovered how you give the dom to the Map.
If I try to instantiate either window, which I found in mapbox-js utils, or Map, I get
ReferenceError: self is not defined. - 'self' appears to be the window object.
I use mocha, with babel 7, for what it's worth, but I think that all I need is to solve the mystery of setting up a Map instance so that I can then interrogate it.
Any help would be gratefully received.
We're new to Ember, and our intended (ember-cli) app first works by opening a project (which we can think of a JSON object), and then acting on various sections of that project with various functions. We have this "pick your project first" approach neatly encapsulated in a Django REST api structure, e.g.
/projects/ lists all projects
/projects/1/ gives information about project 1
/projects/1/sectionA/ list all elements in sectionA of project 1
/projects/1/sectionA/2/ gives information about element 2 of sectionA in project 1
/projects/1/sectionA/2/sectionB/... and so on.
We made relatively good progress with the first two points in Ember using ember-data and this.store('project').find(...) etc. However, we've come unstuck trying to add further to our url (e.g. points 3., 4., and 5.). I believe our issues come from routing and handling multiple models (e.g. project and sectionA).
The question: what is the best way to structure the routes in Ember.js to match a non-trivial REST API, and use ember-data similarly?
Comments:
the "Ember way", and stuff working out of the box is preferred. Custom adapters and .getJSON might work, but we're not sure if we'll then lose out on what Ember offers.
we want the choice of project to affect the main app template. E.g. if a project does not have "sectionA", then a link to "sectionA" is not displayed in the main app. And, if the project does have "sectionA", we need the link to be to e.g. "/project/1/sectionA", i.e. dependant on the project open.
This seems similar to handling users (i.e. first I must "pick a user" and then continue), where the problem is solved outside of the URL (and is similar to using sessions as we have done in the past). However, we specifically want the project ID to be inside the URL, to remain stateless.
Bonus questions (if relevant):
how would we structure the models? Do we need to use hasMany/belongsTo and, if so, is this equivalent to just loading the whole project JSON in the first place?
can ember-data handle such complex requests? I.e. "give me item 2 from sectionA of project 1"? Can it do this "in one go", or do there have to be nested queries (i.e. "first give me project 1" and then from this "give me sectionA" and then from this "give me item 1")?
Finally, apologies if this is documented well somewhere. We've spent nearly a week trying to figure this out and have tried our best to find resources -- it's possible we just don't know what we're looking for.
I think this one will be a good thing to read: discuss.emberjs.com/t/… - you've got Tom Dale and Stefan Penner involved in the thread
My suggestion would be to change it to query params:
/projects?id=1&selectionA=a&selectionB=b
then, you won't have such problems. And yes, you can still use all the hasMany and belongsTo fields.
If there's anything unclear, I'll provide you with a longer answer (if I'm able to).

I just started to use WebRatio and I am facing a simple problem, with easy solution if I was not using this fabulous framework .... I was asked to do some sort of glosary app, and what I am trying to do right now is a simple index where appears all letters from A-Z and how many entries starting with each letter there are in my database, quite simple.
I aleady started a database with my entity: name, description and last_modified. I had been looking for some information on how to do this but I found nothing. So what I am trying to do is to fill a list with a custom query that I made (it works good on my sql editor) but I am not able to list the results in a WebRatio list. I tried to use a "query" object linked to a "simpleList" object but when I run the app it gives me error: "Expected at least one element .. inside " I would appreciate any help or resource that explains how to do this.
Thanks in advance
You shouldn't link the query unit with list because the list will make it's own database query. Instead you should specify outputs for query unit and write your custom style template for query unit to visualize the results as html. Or also (not recommended) you can link the results of query unit with a script unit and output desired html within a script unit.
I have a SOAP UI 4.5.1, I have made a load test, it is working fine. My problem is that I run the same request every time and I need to change the values of the soap request I am sending.
For e.g. I have a block of my soap request:
<ns:Assessment>
<ns:Project>
<ns:ProviderId>SHL</ns:ProviderId>
<ns:ProjectId>SampleAssessment</ns:ProjectId>
</ns:Project>
</ns:Assessment>
Provider ID: SHL
Project ID: SampleAssessment
Is there a way to make those values changing from some kind of interval?
For e.g.: Provider IDs [SHL, SLH, LHS]
Project IDs [SampleAssessment, TestAssessment, AnotherAssessment]
And with a load test I am making three request so that for the first request values looks like this:
<ns:Assessment>
<ns:Project>
<ns:ProviderId>SHL</ns:ProviderId>
<ns:ProjectId>SampleAssessment</ns:ProjectId>
</ns:Project>
</ns:Assessment>
for the second like this:
<ns:Assessment>
<ns:Project>
<ns:ProviderId>SLH</ns:ProviderId>
<ns:ProjectId>TestAssessment</ns:ProjectId>
</ns:Project>
</ns:Assessment>
and so on...
Is there a way to make this happen with SOAP UI?
From my experience, you will need to use a Groovy Script step.
For example, if you have a step before your request that is a script, you can use something like:
context.setProperty("ProviderId", "SHL")
Then in your request, use:
<ns:ProviderId>${ProviderId}</ns:ProviderId>
Of course, this doesn't buy you much by itself. There are few ways to vary what the context.setProperty("ProviderId", "SHL") line will set. You can create a collection and iterate over it using something like:
def providers = ['ABC', 'DEF', 'GHI', 'JKL']
providers.each() {
context.setProperty("ProviderId", it)
testRunner.runTestStepByName( "nameofteststep" )
}
Where "nameofteststep" is the name of the Soap Request test step. This might sound odd, but if you right click the test step and disable it, the groovy script will still be able to execute it but it will not run sequentially. By that I mean that the groovy script will run it 4 times, but it won't run a fifth time when the script is complete because it is after the script. Then you just need to keep in mind that each load test thread makes four requests, but I am pretty sure that the SoapUI statistics will take this into account for you... might want to keep an eye out for it, though.
Alternatively, you could check the 'threadIndex' and set a the context variable based on that. A bit like this here: Log ThreadCount.
You could also use a collection without a loop and increment an index that you save as a testcase property and send the string corresponding to the index.
Personally, I think the first way is the most straightforward but I can provide an example of the other ones if you like.
There is a simple way of doing this without writing a groovy script.
After creating a test case you should include the below test steps:
1-Data source
2-Request
3-Loop
Data source will read an excel file (or other data source methods such as XML, groovy, JDBC, gird .. however the excel is the simplest one).
You should include the datas (that you need to change within the request)
Within the test request you need the right click and select "get data" . please notice that your test request should be as below
<ns:ProviderId>${ProviderId}</ns:ProviderId>
Then the last step is the "Loop" . This for returning to the first step until the data ends.
I hope this helps.
Trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this. I have inhereted a Django project that is pretty well done.
There are a number of pre coded modules that a user can include in a page's (a page and a module are models in this app) left well in the admin (ie: side links, ads, constant contact).
A new requirement involves inserting a module of internal links in the same well. These links are not associated with a page in the same way the other modules, they are a seperate many to many join - ie one link can be reused in a set across all the pages.
the template pseudo code is:
if page has modules:
loop through modules:
write the pre coded content of module
Since the links need to be in the same well as the modules, I have created a "link placeholder module" with a slug of link-placeholder.
The new pseudo code is:
if page has modules:
loop through modules:
if module.slug is "link-placeholder":
loop through page.links and output each
else:
write pre-coded module
My question is where is the best place to write this output for the links? As I see it, my options are:
Build the out put in the template (easy, but kind of gets messy - code is nice and neat now)
Build a function in the page model that is called when the "link placeholder is encountered) page.get_internal_link_ouutput. Essentially this would query, build and print internal link module output.
Do the same thing with a custom template tag.
I am leaning towards 2 or 3, but it doesn't seem like the right place to do it. I guess I sometimes get a little confused about the best place to put code in django apps, though I do really like the framework.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
I'd recommend using a custom template tag.
Writing the code directly into the template is not the right place for that much logic, and I don't believe a model should have template-specific methods added to it. Better to have template-specific logic live in template-specific classes and functions (e.g. template tags).
