Code example

Jasmine (LightningJS App)


            it('Go back to grid', async () => {

                const isFocused = await browser.execute(() => {
                    const focusPath = window.app.focusPath
                    return focusPath.findIndex((e) => e.ref === 'Back') !== -1
                })
                expect(isFocused).toBe(true)
                await sendKey('Ok')
                [selectedRow, selectedCol] = await browser.execute(() => {
                    const focusPath = window.app.focusPath
                    const col = focusPath.find((e) => e.ref === 'Content')
                    const row = focusPath.find((e) => e.ref === 'Row')
                    return [col.selectedIndex, row.selectedIndex]
                })
                expect([selectedCol, selectedRow]).toBeEqual([0,2])
