I am developing a Web application using the Laravel framework. I am running Dus/Browser unit testing on my application. But now I am having problem with asserting if the selected element exist.
I have view file with this code snippet in it.
@if(auth()->user()->role == 1)
<a dusk="button-create" href="/create">
Create
</a>
@endif
I am testing if that button exist or not in the Dusk unit test like this.
$this->browse(function (Browser $browser) use ($admin) {
$browser->loginAs($admin)->visit(url);
$textContent = $browser->text("@button-create");
$this->assertNotEmpty($textContent);
});
Testing if the button exists using the above code is fine. But when I test if the button not exist like this.
$this->browse(function (Browser $browser) use ($student) {
$browser->loginAs($student)->visit(url);
$textContent = $browser->text("@button-create");
$this->assertEmpty($textContent);
});
I am getting this error.
no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"body [dusk="button-create"]"}
A solution I can think of it that wrapping the html element with another element and setting the selector on it. Something like this.
<span dusk="button-create">
@if(auth()->user()->role == 1)
<a href="/create">
Create
</a>
@endif
</span>
But I do not want to wrap it with another html tag. Is it possible without wrapping another tag? How?
Use assertVisible()
/assertPresent()
and assertMissing()
:
$browser->assertVisible("@button-create");
$browser->assertMissing("@button-create");
