Hi,

Running the unit tests for Appian Selenium API requires access to an interface with specific fields (e.g., gridName: "ReadOnlyGrid", columnName: "EncryptedTextField"). Is there a publicly available site that can be accessed to execute the unit tests, or can the source code for those interfaces be added to the project so that we can host them in our test environments?

v25.2.0 Release Notes

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Appian Selenium API is now available as an open-source repository! The repository can be found on Gitlab under "appian-oss/appian-selenium-api": gitlab.com/.../
Users of the libraries will find a few key benefits from this change:
Ability to contribute to the libraries
Immediate access to bug fixes and new functionality
Improved communication between other users and library maintainers by leveraging Gitlab issues.
Updates to the framework will be immediately available in the open source package registry. Users are encouraged to leverage this instead of the App Market as we do not plan to update the App Market listing for every patch.

Hi ,
While automating the Box Layout which has the dropdown options,I have used the below method.

String DropdownXPath = "//div[@id='8221a514db0c88f9e45aedfc6b0f6626_value'])[1]" ;
if (fixture.elementExistsByXPath(DropdownXPath)) {
fixture.selectOptionByXPath("//li[contains(text(),'LH Managed Service Agreement')]","LH Managed Service Agreement");
} else {
fixture.populateDropdownSearchBoxWith("---Select Template---","LH Managed Service Agreement");
}
Can anyone suggest the correct method in populating the dropdown in box layout?

There is a bug in getGridColumnRowValue(), if the grid has height: "TALL".
With a "TALL" grid an additional row of headers with "class=FrozenHeaderGrid---frozen_header" is added to the html code. These extra headers affects TempoGridCell.getColumnNumber

Hi, will it be possible to get a copy of the JAVA source code for the Appian Selenium API? Our team is interested in how to detect the progress bar at the top of the site when loading or updating page interface.

I found an issue with the 'populateRecordTypeUserFilterWith' method. It’s supposed to select an option from a record filter dropdown based on the provided value, but it’s picking options that only partially match.
For example, if you have "Admin", "Administrator", and "Admin User" as options in a filter, and you pass "Admin", it might select "Administrator" instead of the exact match "Admin". This makes it impossible to select the correct option when names are similar.
This problem may be happening with other populate dropdown methods.
Is there a workaround for this that Im not aware of?

v24.2.0 Release Notes

Enhancements
Update locator for site menu links
Created method which supports clicking on text within an interface.
This is particularly useful for nested cards such as tab layouts, but can also be used as a fallback when existing methods do not work.
This method is available for all Appian versions.
Click operation on Card layout will be performed on the left side of the element instead of the right. We are not expecting any impact on existing test cases.
