[RFE] Ability to provide multiple values for 'target', 'value' or 'action'

[ganeshhubale]

Description

• We should have feature which allow user to provide more than one elements to target, more than one actions to perform and ability to input in more than one value in single step.
• I came to know about this issue while filling sign up form where I have seen more than one fields like username, password, email etc.
• According to present structure, we need to create different test step to add these values which increases efforts and steps in one test cases.
• I expect to update structure of testscript as below:
• See the target and value; provided list of values to it.

sequence:
- testcase 2
- testcase 3
- testcase 1
test:
- testcase 1:
  - scenario: close the browser
  - step 1:
      action: closebrowser
      name: closing browser window
      target: closebrowser
- testcase 2:
  - scenario: Visiting GitHub website
  - step 1:
      action: goto
      name: Provide GitHub website url to go to GitHub page
      target: https://github.com/
- testcase 3:
  - scenario: Creating GitHub account
  - step 1:
      action: import
      name: Go to GitHub website and click on sign up to visit registration page
      target: testcase 2
  - step 2:
      action: click
      name: click on sign up button
      target: Sign up
  - step 3:
      action: input
      name: Insert all the details
      target: ['//*[@id="user_login"]', '//*[@id="user_email"]']
      value: ['NewUser', '[email protected]']
      wait after action: 10

• To execute above testscript; I have modified some code in action.py

    @logger_decorator
    def input(self, test_data):

        targets = test_data['target']
        values = test_data['value']

        for i in range(len(targets)):
            test_data['target'] = targets[i]
            test_data['value'] = values[i]
            try:
                test_data = self.get_element(test_data)
                test_data["element_obj"].send_keys(test_data["value"])
            except Exception as e:
                logging.exception(e)
                test_data["error"] = True

        return test_data

• Actually this works once we reach to particular page; But providing more than one urls as a target will be problematic.

@vishalvijayraghavan I would like to hear your thoughts on this feature.

Hi Ganesh,
Yes this feature is good but better to create new action with name "inputform " or "forminput" likewise which will server this feature. I have recently added targets attribute to all action which have multiple fallback xpath and again if we add this feature to same input action it might get complicated.
