Overview
The library contains methods which allow you to interact with Appian components in a browser. It can be used in a Java application or integrated directly into any Selenium or Java-based testing tool.
Appian Selenium API contains the methods that are at the core of both Cucumber for Appian and FitNesse for Appian. If you are familiar with either Appian’s FitNesse or Cucumber tools then you are already familiar with the methods provided by the Appian Selenium API. For example, the table below shows the corresponding FitNesse and Cucumber methods for the same underlying Appian Selenium API method.
Appian Selenium API
loginWithUsernameAndPassword(jString userName, String password)
FitNesse for Appian
| login with username | USERNAME | and password | PASSWORD |
Cucumber for Appian
Given I login with username "USERNAME" and password "PASSWORD"
Note: Java 11 required for plugin version 23.4

How do I select value from a drop down? I tried fixture.populateDropDownSearchBoxWith but it doesn't work.
try populateFieldWith or populateFieldWithValue
Two options:
Better option: the developer adds the label into the sail code, but sets the labelPosition to "COLLAPSED".
Worse option: try to find the field another way like absolute location on the form, e.g. populateFieldWithValue("[5]", "Nepal") would populate the 5th field on the form, or if it has a tooltip, placeholder, or instructions you could use those corresponding populateFieldWith<Placeholder/Instructions/Tooltip> methods.
Hi Michael,
You are correct. Its seems to be because of rich text. Where-
ever developer has used label are working fine but where-ever they have used rich text.. it is not identifying. Please suggest what is a workaround.
