Get Button Name

This is a pre-built Action located under the @Custom Element. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to fetch the name of the button specified in the input value. The extracted value is stored in the given dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

The Get Button Name action works only when the VerifyExists action is executed in a preceding step.

Example 1: Retrieving the Name of a Button

In this example, we are explaining how to retrieve the name of a specified button from the application.

• Action: Get Button Name

• Input Value: button;;0

  • The first argument (button) specifies the object type to be identified.

  • The second argument is left blank to skip an optional value.

  • The third argument (0) specifies the index of the button when multiple matching elements are present.

• Output Value: {Name}

  • The retrieved button name (Submit) is stored in the {Name} dynamic variable.

  • If a second output variable is defined, it stores the execution status with the following possible values:

    • True: If the button name is retrieved successfully.

    • False: If the button name is not retrieved successfully.

• Logical Explanation: The Get Button Name action reads the identification details from the Input Value column (button;;0). The action locates the matching button based on the specified object type and index and extracts the name of the button. The retrieved button name (Submit) is stored in the {Name} variable.

Example 2: Retrieving the Name of a Button using Optional Parameters

In this example, we are explaining how to retrieve the name of a specified button from the application using optional identification parameters.

• Action: Get Button Name

• Input Value: button;Submit;0

  • The first argument (button) specifies the object type to be identified.

  • The second argument (Submit) specifies the visible text of the button.

  • The third argument (0) specifies the index of the button when multiple matching elements are present.

• Output Value: {Name}

  • The retrieved button name (Submit) is stored in the {Name} dynamic variable.

  • If a second output variable is defined, it stores the execution status with the following possible values:

    • True: If the button name is retrieved successfully.

    • False: If the button name is not retrieved successfully.

• Logical Explanation: The Get Button Name action reads the identification details from the Input Value column (button;Submit;0). The action locates the matching button based on the specified object type, visible text, and index and extracts the name of the button. The retrieved button name is stored in the {Name} variable.
