Repeating If loop

[mv8167]

The loop below checks a date range, if no data is returned, a new date is used. If the 1st date fails, I check another date.

How can I better check if no data is found without using an If statement within an If statement?

Do loop?

My code:

Code:

If Browser("Wisdom").Page("Wisdom IA").Frame("parent").WebElement("No Results Found").Exist(5) Then 'No data found for ACCT1 in ENV Reporter.ReportEvent micFail,"No Data found for Row: " & DataTable.GlobalSheet.GetCurrentRow, " The Account Number: " & Datatable("ACCT1", dtGlobalSheet) & " in the ENV: " & Datatable("ENV", dtGlobalSheet) & " - has no Data." 'Try secondary End Date (eDate2) Browser("Wisdom").Page("Wisdom IA").Frame("parent").Image("button_newsearch").Click Browser("Fax Request").Page("Preferences").WebEdit("EndDate").Set eDate2 '= "03/25/2011" Browser("Fax Request").Page("Preferences").WebElement("SearchPrefPage").Click If Browser("Wisdom").Page("Wisdom IA").Frame("parent").WebElement("No Results Found").Exist(5) Then Reporter.ReportEvent micFail,"No Data found for Row: " & DataTable.GlobalSheet.GetCurrentRow, " The Account Number: " & Datatable("ACCT1", dtGlobalSheet) & " in the ENV: " & Datatable("ENV", dtGlobalSheet) & " - has no Data." ExitTest Else 'data found for ACCT1 in ENV Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "Data found for Row: " & DataTable.GlobalSheet.GetCurrentRow, " The Account Number: " & Datatable("ACCT1", dtGlobalSheet) & " in the ENV: " & Datatable("ENV", dtGlobalSheet) & " - has Data." End If Else 'data found for ACCT1 in ENV Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "Data found for Row: " & DataTable.GlobalSheet.GetCurrentRow, " The Account Number: " & Datatable("ACCT1", dtGlobalSheet) & " in the ENV: " & Datatable("ENV", dtGlobalSheet) & " - has Data." End If

Lorena,

Its not clear what you want to achieve. Just add some screenshots and details.

Screenshots wont help, this is more of a coding issue.

Let me try and better explain.

I search on a StartDate to an EndDate. If I get no data returned to my screen, an error message indicates "No Results Found".

If no results are found, I want to notify that the first date failed and thus try a second date (by taking today's date minus 1 day). If the second try fails, I know to exit from this test only.

Beter?

;-)?

Lorena,

Your code seems right. Does that return any error? If not then OK to use that code. Maybe somebody else make it perform better ?

Thx Parminder,

I do not get an error, but ...

First,
I changed my code. The first If stement (when no data is retevied) works fine. But the second If statement Still goes to fail even though data is present on the page. I get a warning stating that

Warning or Fail
"If Browser("Wisdom").Page("Wisdom IA").Frame("parent").WebElement("No Results Found").GetROProperty("visible") = True Then" is not found.

My code gives me a warning or fails when WebElement("No Results Found") is not found. My goal is to check if the WebElement("No Results Found") is displayed, if it is then use today's date minus one day. Then check again if WebElement("No Results Found") is visible.

But if WebElement("No Results Found") is not visible (as data is present), my code still marks as Fail.

How can I better check for the message ("No Results Found")? and continue if not found.

Second,
My date code:
TodayDate = DateAdd("d",-1,Now())
eDate = FormatDateTime(TodayDate,2)

returns 7/1/2011, but this fails as the program only alows mm/dd/yyyy (so, Im need 07/01/2011) or I get an error message.

My code:

Code:

CurrentRow = DataTable.GlobalSheet.GetCurrentRow ACCT = Datatable("ACCT1", dtGlobalSheet) ENV = Datatable("ENV", dtGlobalSheet) If Browser("Wisdom").Page("Wisdom IA").Frame("parent").WebElement("No Results Found").GetROProperty("visible") = True Then 'No data found for EndDate in ENV eDate = DateAdd("d",-1,Now()) eDate = FormatDateTime(eDate,2) 'Try secondary End Date (Today minus 1 day) Browser("Wisdom").Page("Wisdom IA").Frame("parent").Image("button_newsearch").Click Browser("Fax Request").Page("Preferences").WebEdit("EndDate").Set eDate Browser("Fax Request").Page("Preferences").WebElement("SearchPrefPage").Click If Browser("Wisdom").Page("Wisdom IA").Frame("parent").WebElement("No Results Found").GetROProperty("visible") = True Then Reporter.ReportEvent micFail,"No Data found for Row: " & CurrentRow & " The Account Number: " & ACCT & " in the ENV: " & ENV & " - has no Data." ExitTest Else 'data found for EndDate in ENV Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "Data found for Row: " & CurrentRow & " The Account Number: " & ACCT & " in the ENV: " & ENV & " - has Data." End If Else 'data found for EndDate in ENV Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "Data found for Row: " & CurrentRow & " The Account Number: " & ACCT & " in the ENV: " & ENV & " - has Data." End If

Warning or Fail
"If Browser("Wisdom").Page("Wisdom IA").Frame("parent").WebElement("No Results Found").GetROProperty("visible") = True Then" is not found.

You can not use GetRoProperty for an object which doesn't exist(in your case it may/'nt exist)
so use .Exist method again as you used in first line


If Browser("Wisdom").Page("Wisdom IA").Frame("parent").WebElement("No Results Found").Exist(5) Then

And to make your code look better, use a function to test data availability by just passing date parameter and get the returned value as boolean found or not found

By the way "If" is not a loop, it's a conditional statement!

Thx, I did this last week. I just used todays date minus 1, then I checked with Exist but only one time. If no data exists then I fail and move on.

thx for the help ;-)
