Dynamic locator

[adrian2096]

hi, im trying to make a dynamic locators like this

data/locators.yaml

DobleValue:
  newValue: {xpath: "//td[contains(@title,'${value}')]"}

the newValue locator is in the data/locators.yaml and im trying to use javascript to replace the '${value}' with a value that i send as a parameter, i try it to use like this but is not working, is there anyway how to make what i want?

 - script: |
      var locatorString = $data("data/locators").DobleValue.newValue
      var newLocator = locatorString.replace("${plan}",$macroArgs.plan)

      $runMacro("macro", {
        locator: newLocator 
      });

Thank you!

The error you have in there is that $data("data/locators").DobleValue.newValue is a JavaScript object, not a string, so you cannot use the replace method on it. You need to do the replace on the xpath property instead:

- script: |
     var locator = $data("data/locators").DobleValue.newValue
     locator.xpath = locator.xpath.replace("${value}",$macroArgs.plan)

     $runMacro("macro", {
       locator: locator 
     });
