In this blog we will be utilizing Playwright Java to verify “current versus expected url” and verify “placeholder text”.
Topics that we will cover:
- Verify “current versus expected url”
- Verify “placeholder text“
- Source code (current versus expected url)
- Source code (placeholder text)
Verify “current versus expected url”
In a test case, we might need to verify whether the curent url of the page matches with the expected url. For example, let us launch the url https://rahulshettyacademy.com/AutomationPractice/
Let us call this as our “current url”
Now, on the top right hand side, we can see a link “Free Access to InterviewQues/ResumeAssistance/Material”
Click this link. You will be re-directed to a different url https://rahulshettyacademy.com/documents-request
Let us consider this as our “expected url”.
In line#26 and 30, we define our “current” and “expected” urls.
Lines#32-36 will perform the verification. In line#32, we are saying that “if current and expected urls donot match, than the verification passes”
Execute.
Notice the console output
Click ‘Home’ link. You will still be on the same page https://rahulshettyacademy.com/
Inspect ‘Home’
In present case, the current and expected urls are same. We can now perform the verification
Verify “placeholder text“
Go to https://rahulshettyacademy.com/AutomationPractice/
You can see the default placeholder text “Type to Select Countries”
Now how do we verify this placeholder text?
We can use the “getAttribute()” method tofecth the placeholder text (see line#28).
Let us intentionally make a mistake in the placeholder text (line#30)
Let us now correct the text and re-execute. The verification passes this time
