Get Object Count on Web Page

This is a pre-built Action located under the @Custom Element. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to find the number of occurrences of the specified object on the web page. The extracted value is stored in the given dynamic variable for further use during test execution

The Get Object Count on Web Page action works only when the VerifyExists action is executed in a preceding step.

Syntax

Input Value: <ObjectType>;<VisibleText(optional)>;<Index>;<abs(optional)>

Argument	Description
<ObjectType> (Required)	Provide the object type for which you want to count the occurrences in the application.

<Index> (Required)	Provide the position of the object you want to identify based on its sequence in the application. Note: Index start from 0.
<abs> (Optional)	Provide the absolute XPath of the object you want to identify for this operation.

Note:

• If the last argument abs is defined, the action executes using absolute identification based on the specified absolute XPath provided in the input.

• To skip an optional input value, use an extra semicolon (;).

Example 1: Retrieving the Count of Matching Objects on a Web Page

In this example, we are explaining how to retrieve the total count of matching objects present on the web page.

• Action: Get Object Count on Web Page

• Input Value: textbox;;1

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

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

  • The third argument (1) specifies the index of the object when multiple matching elements are present.

• Output Value: {Count}

  • The retrieved count of matching objects (4) is stored in the {Count} dynamic variable.

  • The execution status of the action is stored in the {Status} dynamic variable, with the following possible values:

    • True: If the object counts are retrieved successfully.

    • False: If the Object count not retrieved successfully

• Logical Explanation: The Get Object Count on Web Page action reads the identification details from the Input Value column (textbox;;1). The action locates all matching elements on the web page based on the specified object type and index and calculates the total number of matching objects. The retrieved count (4) is stored in the {Count} variable.

Example 2: Retrieving the Count of Matching Objects on a Web Page using Optional Parameters

In this example, we are explaining how to retrieve the total count of matching objects present on the web page using optional identification parameters.

• Action: Get Object Count on Web Page

• Input Value: textbox;Avo Bank;1

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

  • The second argument (Avo Bank) specifies the visible text of the object.

  • The third argument (1) specifies the index of the object when multiple matching elements are present.

• Output Value: {Count}

  • The retrieved count of matching objects (4) is stored in the {Count} dynamic variable.

  • The execution status of the action is stored in the {Status} dynamic variable, with the following possible values:

    • True: If the object counts are retrieved successfully.

    • False: If the Object count not retrieved successfully

• Logical Explanation: The Get Object Count on Web Page action reads the identification details from the Input Value column (textbox;Avo Bank;1). The action locates all matching elements on the web page based on the specified object type, visible text, and index and calculates the total number of matching objects. The retrieved count is stored in the {Count} variable.
