I'm not sure I understand -- the input
is in the shadow DOM, and should not be accessible outside of the shadow root. Secondly, native input elements already have a value
attribute, which is bound to the iron-input
's bind-value
property, and paper-input
's value
.
Maybe it's a bit easier to illustrate it this way...: http://output.jsbin.com/qupucesewa
I declare value=... as well as valuetesting$=... However, only valuetesting is accessible through xpath.
I'm writing selenium tests for a page built with Polymer. I encountered the issue that selenium is not able to read the value of neither paper-input nor iron-input. An xpath expression like
//paper-input[@value="test"]
fails to find the element. Also within web developer tools the value cannot be seen nor found in the dom tree.My workaround is to add a html attribute "valuetesting" to paper-input/iron-input, which is bound to the value and which is visible in the dom tree (
valuetesting$="{{myval}}"
) of paper-input/iron-input. However, I think by default the value should be retrievable outside of Polymer. I would suggest to set the html tag "value" on the "input" element. Do you agree?
