Cucumber For Appian

Overview

Test your Appian application within minutes with methods created specifically to operate within Appian applications and Tempo!

Common test case scenarios can be created for reusability throughout test suites. A CheatSheet.feature file that lists out all the supported methods and how to invoke them using the @Given, @When, @Then, @But, @And, and other Cucumber-supported annotation.

Note: Java 11 required for plugin version 23.4

  • Hi Team,

    Is there anyway I can get rid of the DEBUG statements, it takes lot of digging to find the actual issue. Any help of this will be appreciated.

  • the latest version v22.4 seems to have a bug; 

    The object identification fails for drop-down.

    On New version 22.4 the element definition for dropdown is as below;

    <span id="9d114c989f45ddbdab069168cd461dae_value_span">Value</span>

    .Whereas for older version of appian the definition was as below;

    <span id="4c85c14d61e4e58a2a354fc2a6e88f8d_selectedChoice" class="DropdownWidget---accessibilityhidden">Corporate</span>

    the newest version (v22.4) of cucumber tries to find the object with the following Xpath;

    //span[contains(@class, 'DropdownWidget---accessibilityhidden')]" 

    This works on older version on newer version it fails
