Hi Anu,
I can not find a way to test bullet lists in Fitnesse.
If the text is static I would have a manual test case as the text is less of a risk of change from a regression test perspective. I use SnagIt screen recording during the test run and can very quickly verify the pages after the test run by going through the video.

Yep, if they want to test the bullet text items then can they test it outside? If the bullet list is static, then validation can be done before passing the text in bullet field.

I think they are talking about testing of the bullet text items not about creating a bullet text items using the rich text display field.

Ok, I am still not sure if I have understood this but if you are looking for dynamic bullet list then you can try this:

If your local!text1 contains a keyword (in this case it is "templates"), then it will be shown in the bullet list else it will not appear. Do you know the max items that you will have in the list? You can also use applycomponents()

If you need any other validation, then you can do it outside the richTextDisplayField()... I am not sure if I have answered your question.

Hi aman ,

Yes, I am trying to validate text present . I tried using below methods but it didn't workout since the text is part of bullet list .

| verify field | FIELD_LABEL or [FIELD_INEDX] or FIELD_LABEL[INDEX] | is present |

Please can you give an example and explain . It would be great help!

This is how it looks :-

Hi Jacob ,

This is testing requirement. We should validate each and every field/text present in a form/UI .

Can you please elaborate, what are you trying to validate in that bullet list? If you are trying to validate text line by line, then is it possible for you have the text in a local!, do all your validations there and then just pass the local!text to your bullet list to pass the validated text ?

Can you word your question another way? Why are you trying to validate a text bullet list?
