Verify that an attribute of an element matches the expected criteria.
Arguments
Argument | Type | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
locator | null | ||
attr_name | null | ||
match_pattern | null | ||
regexp | False |
The element is identified by locator. See introduction for details about locating elements. If more than one element matches, the first element is selected.
The attr_name is the name of the attribute within the selected element.
The match_pattern is used for the matching, if the match_pattern is
- boolean or 'True'/'true'/'False'/'false' String then a boolean match is applied
- any other string is cause a string match
The regexp defines whether the string match is done using regular expressions (i.e. BuiltIn Library's Should Match Regexp or string pattern match (i.e. BuiltIn Library's Should Match)
Examples:
Element Attribute Should Match | xpath = //*[contains(@text,'foo')] | text | *foobar | |
Element Attribute Should Match | xpath = //*[contains(@text,'foo')] | text | f.*ar | regexp = True |
Element Attribute Should Match | xpath = //*[contains(@text,'foo')] | enabled | True |
NOTE: On Android the supported attribute names are hard-coded in the AndroidElement Class's getBoolAttribute() and getStringAttribute() methods. Currently supported (appium v1.4.11): contentDescription, text, className, resourceId, enabled, checkable, checked, clickable, focusable, focused, longClickable, scrollable, selected, displayed
NOTE: Some attributes can be evaluated in two different ways e.g. these evaluate the same thing:
Element Attribute Should Match | xpath = //*[contains(@text,'example text')] | name | txt_field_name |
Element Name Should Be | xpath = //*[contains(@text,'example text')] | txt_field_name |

Arguments
Argument | Type | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
keyword | null |
keyword_name is the name of a keyword (from any available libraries) that will be executed if a AppiumLibrary keyword fails. It is not possible to use a keyword that requires arguments. Using the value "Nothing" will disable this feature altogether.
The initial keyword to use is set in importing, and the keyword that is used by default is Capture Page Screenshot. Taking a screenshot when something failed is a very useful feature, but notice that it can slow down the execution.
This keyword returns the name of the previously registered failure keyword. It can be used to restore the original value later.
Examples
Register Keyword To Run On Failure | Log Source | # Run Log Source on failure. | |
${previous kw}= | Register Keyword To Run On Failure | Nothing | # Disables run-on-failure functionality and stores the previous kw name in a variable. |
Register Keyword To Run On Failure | ${previous kw} | # Restore to the previous keyword. |
This run-on-failure functionality only works when running tests on Python/Jython 2.4 or newer and it does not work on IronPython at all.
DEPRECATED!! in selenium v4, check Terminate Application keyword.
