Page Context

The most common issue with a browser session is a situation when an element can't be found because the page haven't been loaded yet or ajax request is still being processed. Page context allows you to stop worrying about page loading time or ajax requests with no hooking features but tons of wait statements., _(*7)

What page context performs is injecting special javascript page-wait conditions into every request related step (like click, go to and etc)., _(*8)

Form Context

Filling in forms is often an annoying task. Form context helps you keep your form related features more structured., _(*9)

Usage examples:, _(*10)

Fill in forms

    Scenario: All form elements should be properly filled in

        Given I am on "/tests/pages/form.php"
        When I fill in the form with:
            | Text              | text value            |
            | Checkbox          | YES                   |
            | Select            | Option 2              |
            | Multiple Select   | MOption 2, MOption 3  |
            | Radio 2           | YES                   |
            | Textarea          | textarea value        |
            | Checkbox Group    | Checkbox 1,Checkbox 3 |

        Then the "Text" field should contain "text value"
        And the "Checkbox" checkbox should be checked
        And the "Select" field should contain "2"
        And the "Multiple Select" multiple field should contain "2,3"
        And the "Radio 2" checkbox should be checked
        And the "Textarea" field should contain "textarea value"
        And the "Checkbox 1" checkbox should be checked
        And the "Checkbox 3" checkbox should be checked

Check forms

    Scenario: All form elements should be properly asserted

        Given I am on "/tests/pages/form.php"
        When I fill in "Text" with "text value"
        And I check "Checkbox"
        And I select "Option 2" from "Select"
        And I select "MOption 1" from "Multiple Select"
        And I additionally select "MOption 2" from "Multiple Select"
        And I check "Radio 2"
        And I fill in "Textarea" with "textarea value"
        And I check "Checkbox 1"
        And I check "Checkbox 2"

        Then I should see the form with:
            | Text              | text value            |
            | Checkbox          | YES                   |
            | Select            | Option 2              |
            | Multiple Select   | MOption 1,MOption 2   |
            | Radio 2           | YES                   |
            | Textarea          | textarea value        |
            | Checkbox Group    | Checkbox 1,Checkbox 2 |

Textareas

    Scenario: It should be possible to set a multiline value to textarea
        Given I am on "/tests/pages/form.php"

        When I fill in "Textarea" with:
        """
        Line 1
        Line 2
        Line 3
        """

        The "Textarea" field should contain:
        """
        Line 1
        Line 2
        Line 3
        """

Multiple select value asserts

    Scenario: A select field with multiple attributes should be properly asserted

        Given I am on "/form.php"
        When I select "MOption 1" from "Multiple Select"
        And I additionally select "MOption 3" from "Multiple Select"
        The "Multiple Select" multiple field should contain "1,3"

Notes

1. The extension uses standard selectors to find fields. So you can use label selectors (like Title or Content) or name selectors (like post_form[title] or post_form[content])
2. The extension supports all field types like textarea, select, input,etc.
