Hi,
The application has worked quite well so far but I have run into one
problem. The application seems to be using just coordinates to refer to
a mouse click somewhere in the page. Is it possible to use element id
instead?
E.g. There's a collection feature in our application. When you manage
your collections, the collections that you have are shown a top of the
page and under them is a button for adding new ones. Let's presume that
I have no collections to begin with. I begin recording a script for
adding a new collection. During the recording the "add new" button is
located quite high on the screen because I don't have any collections
which would push the button down. When I've done with the recording and
begin testing the script, I already have collection and that pushes the
"add new" button down a bit so it's not located at the same place than
it was when I was recording the script. So when running the script, the
application clicks the screen at a wrong point on the screen so nothing
happens. I tried this with different methods but always had the same
problem. If I could refer to button id instead of coordinates there
wouldn't be any problems with this.
Of course I can avoid this problem by making sure that the application
is at a certain stage when I begin testing but that creates one
additional step where things can go wrong.
