api - KarateDSL UI Testing - Friendly Locators not working

Question

Following the other question that I raised recently, could you guys help spot what is wrong with the way how I wrote the "below" friendly locator? Thank you in advance!

Scenario: Get UI - Download
   Given url 'https://test01/v1/doc/env/
   And headers headers1
   When method get
   Then status 200
   * def env = response.url

   Given driver env
   And click('{button}Proceed')
   And click('{span}Start')
   And click('{span}Required - GSA)
   And click('{span}Required - GSB')
   And click('{span}Required - GSC')
   And click('{span}Required - GSD')
   And click('{span}Required - GSE')
   And click('{span}Required - GSF')
   And click('{span}Required - GSG')
   And click('{span}Required - GSH')
   * below('{}Required - GSH').input('karate dsl')

I have a textarea that I would like values to be entered, but the friendly locator "below" is not working for me.

javascript evaluation failed: below('{}Required - GSH').input('karate dsl'), unable to find: {}Required - GSH, BELOW, INPUT

Update: Here's the snippet of the HTML:

Radio button that I need to select first, so the text area will be enabled/required

Here's the text area that I would like to locate using the "below" friendly locator.

question from:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65839853/does-karate-ui-framework-support-siblings-or-following

Answer 1

Just a guess, try this:

* below('{}Required - GSH').find('textarea').input('karate dsl')

This is needed if not the "default" input, see docs: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/master/karate-core#friendly-locators

EDIT: the following will work for your use-case in version 0.9.6.RC2

  * def list = locateAll('div[data-label]')
  * def condition = function(x){ var label = x.script("_.getAttribute('data-label')"); return label.startsWith('myQues1_2') }
  * def found = karate.filter(list, condition)
  * found[0].locate('textarea').input('karate dsl')

It is a little tricky, but please refer to the docs for each API to understand what is going on.

And I have opened a feature request to make this even easier, feel free to comment there or propose more changes: https://github.com/intuit/karate/issues/1123
