Conditional statement not working

[anildani]

I am trying to run following script. I want to launch google in first view and yahoo in repeat view but it's not working. Can you please check this and provide support

if      cached  0
navigate       google.com
else
navigate       yahoo.com
endif

if/else/endif are among the script commands that are not supported as per the README.

Agreed. Patrick informed me to report an issue for this.

FYI - I have been able to proceed with my work using following Javascript using local storage and ternary operator as suggested by Patrick.

navigate            google.com
execAndWait      document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].value=localStorage.getItem('test2')?'Jan':'Feb'
execAndWait      document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].dispatchEvent(new Event("input"));
execAndWait      localStorage.test2=1

Yep. This is basically a placeholder for adding support. Filtering and modifying the script at runtime to handle the if/else/endif support shouldn't be that difficult, it's just not a feature that gets used much so it hasn't been a priority.

Hey, Could you please help by a sample example ? i use the following script and it doesnt wotrk :

logdata 1 execAndWait if(localStorage.getItem('test2') == 2){ navigate https://www.raffles.com/ execAndWait }else{ navigate https://www.google.co.in/ execAndWait localStorage.test2=2 execAndWait }

Could you please correct me ?

You are mixing and matching javascript (which runs in-browser) and the scripting engine (which runs on the agent). I'd say you should just use an execAndWait command and run whatever javascript logic you want to do in the browser but localstorage is not available outside the context of a page.

Without knowing exactly what you are trying to do, something like this might work:

logData 0
navigate    https://www.webpagetest.org/blank.html
logData 1
execAndWait if(localStorage.getItem('test2') == 2){window.location='https://www.raffles.com/'}else{localStorage.test2=2;window.location='https://www.google.co.in/'}
