I want to get a value (content) from the CSS of a pseudo element (::before) while inside a test made using WDIO and Appium for an Android hybrid app because the designer has stored the current responsive-design state there. So my tests would know which layout (elements) to expect.
Multiple answers to related questions (1; 2; 3) indicated that using .getComputedStyle() might be the only solution. But this does not seem to work in my tests. The error is window is not defined for window.getComputedStyle(...) or document is not defined if I use document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(...). Also selectors themselves can't address pseudo-elements it seems.
Example of one of my many attempts:
document.defaultView.getComputedStyle($('body'),'::before').getPropertyValue('content')
Question: Do I need to somehow import window or document to my test? Is there some other way to get window or document from inside the test?
Ultimately: how can I get the content value of ::before of the <body> of a hybrid Android app?
Thanks to Jeremy Schneider (#YmerejRedienhcs) & Erwin Heitzman (#erwinheitzman) for help!
One solution is to use the execute function:
let contentMode = browser.execute(() => {
let style = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(document.querySelector('body'),'::before');
return style.getPropertyValue('content')
});
Alternatively maybe something could also be done with getHTML.

I've created a script using electron-link. Within the links are basic requires needed for electron i.e:
function get_app() {
return app = app || require("./node_modules/electron/index.js").app;
}
when running the script through electron I get the below error:
"To use Node's require you need to call snapshotResult.setGlobals first!"
I've attempted to add this line to many areas without much affect. is there a correct area to place this?
Figured it out. I needed to wrap my main.js file in a function and export that function. then I can call the function after calling the .setGlobals function.
I'm all new to Xamarin and I'm currently working on a sample or a "prove of concept" app using Xamarin.Forms.
I'm supposed to perform a print task from this app though I'm not at this point sure what to print yet (the screen, content of a label, a file etc.).
Either way, what is the easiest way to print from a Xamarin.Forms app?
(current target is primarily Android 4.4+).
I hope this isn't too complicated :)
EDIT:
Ok let me just update this post as the original text might be a bit ambitious/vague.
I have a Xamarin.Forms project (+ an Android part) and I have some HTML available in the XF part of the project that I need to get into a WebView and print it.
From what I understand, the thing with the WebView has to be done on the Android part of the project due to the fact that this is where the printing will be handled.
I was hoping this could be done from code since I don't really need to display the WebView, just print it's content.
The Android part of the project has only the MainActivity and no layouts or XAML files.
I don't know where to add the WebView or how to access it (other than DependecyService seems to be a buzz word here) so I'm kinda stuck here.
I'm thinking that this task should be rather trivial to someone with a little more Xamarin experience than me.
Every platform XF supports has it's own mechanism for printing. XF does not provide any abstractions for printing in a cross-platform manner. You will need to write printing logic for each layer and expose it to XF using DependencyService (or some other DI engine).
Here is a good example, of course, using dependency service:
https://codemilltech.com/xamarin-forms-e-z-print/
I so wanted to do this but it was too hard. Finally built it into Forms9Patch - a MIT licensed open source project.
Verifying that Printing is available
Before printing, you should verify that printing is available on your device. To do so, call:
if (Forms9Patch.PrintService.CanPrint)
{
// do the printing here
}
Print the contents of a Xamarin.Forms.WebView
using Forms9Patch;
...
var myWebView = new Xamarin.Forms.WebView
myWebView.Source = new HtmlWebViewSource
{
Html = "some HTML text here"
};
...
myWebView.Print("my_print_job_name");
Note that your WebView does not have to be attached to a Layout. This allows you to Print without having to display the WebView in your app’s UI.
Printing an HTML string
using Forms9Patch;
...
var myHtmlString = #"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Convert to PNG</h1>
<p>This html will be converted to a PNG, PDF, or print.</p>
</body>
</html>
";
...
myHtmlString.Print("my_print_job_name");
PLEASE NOTE: iOS sometimes places the page breaks in weird places. I have a StackOverflow Bounty on why this happens and how to fix it.
Using EmbeddedResource as a source for a Xamarin.Forms.WebView
This is sort of an experimental feature I’ve built that I’ve found it useful. As such the documentation is sparse. It allow you to put HTML content in a folder in your app’s EmbeddedResources folder and then use it as a source for a WebView. A much nicer solution than using platform specific approach provided by Xamarin. It also supports putting all of the HTML content into a zip file. Please take a look at the source code to see how it works.
You can handle the printing of lists/ invoices .. with the xfinium pdf component from xamarin componentstore. With that you create your _pdffile and then call the following method which starts the adobereader from where you can select a printer (in my case google cloudprint)
public void printPdfToCloud(string _pdffile)
{
try
{
var saveto = System.IO.Path.Combine(Android.OS.Environment.ExternalStorageDirectory.ToString(), "YourApp/"+_pdffile);
string file_path = saveto;
if (System.IO.File.Exists(file_path))
{
Android.Net.Uri pdfFile = Android.Net.Uri.FromFile(new Java.IO.File(file_path));
Intent pdfIntent = new Intent(Intent.ActionView);
pdfIntent.SetPackage("com.adobe.reader");
pdfIntent.SetDataAndType(pdfFile, "application/pdf");
pdfIntent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.NoHistory);
StartActivity(pdfIntent);
}else
{
// give a note that the file does not exist
}
}
catch (Exception E)
{
// Do some Error dialog
}
}
I'm converting a Dart app that uses the GMap lib to Polymer. The map however does not seem to get rendered and nothing else of my app is as well. All I get is a blank screen. I'm not getting a runtime error.
The div where the map is rendered in is in a polymer element. In the Dart file, I'm instantiating the map like this:
final mapOptions = new MapOptions()
..zoom = 15
..center = LAT_LONG_KORTRIJK
..mapTypeId = MapTypeId.ROADMAP;
Element mapView = getShadowRoot("my-element").query("#mapView");
_map = js.retain(new GMap(mapView, mapOptions));
Any ideas on what be going on?
The js package does not support Shadow DOM for now. You are facing to issue-99. Until a native Element support in dart:js lands I don't think this issue will be fixed.
Danger Zone : There could perhaps be a dirty way to work around this problem based on this message by manually replacing /packages/js/ with the content of the pointed js branch.
I am building Firefox extension, that creates single XMPP chat connection, that can be accessed from all tabs and windows, so I figured, that only way to to this, is to create connection in javascript module and include it on every browser window. Correct me if I am wrong...
EDIT: I am building traditional extension with xul overlays, not using sdk, and talking about those modules: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/JavaScript_code_modules
So I copied Strophe.js into js module. Strophe.js uses code like this:
/*_Private_ function that creates a dummy XML DOM document to serve as
* an element and text node generator.
*/
[---]
if (document.implementation.createDocument === undefined) {
doc = this._getIEXmlDom();
doc.appendChild(doc.createElement('strophe'));
} else {
doc = document.implementation
.createDocument('jabber:client', 'strophe', null);
}
and later uses doc.createElement() to create xml(or html?) nodes.
All worked fine, but in module I got error "Error: ReferenceError: document is not defined".
How to get around this?
(Larger piece of exact code: http://pastebin.com/R64gYiKC )
Use the hiddenDOMwindow
Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm");
var doc = Services.appShell.hiddenDOMWindow.document;
It sounds like you might not be correctly attaching your content script to the worker page. Make sure that you're using something like tabs.attach() to attach one or more content scripts to the worker page (see documentation here).
Otherwise you may need to wait for the DOM to load, waiting for the entire page to load
window.onload = function ()
{
Javascript code goes here
}
Should take at least diagnose that issue (even if the above isn't the best method to use in production). But if I had to wager, I'd say that you're not attaching the content script.
I have a few multiselect boxes from the Jquery UI on a page that work perfectly well in Chrome & Safari but not in Firefox for some reason... when I load the Error Console in Firefox I see:
Error: $.widget is not a function
Source File: http://localhost:3000/javascripts/jquery.multiselect.js?1302660373
Line: 563
Any ideas why?
edit: the line itself is within the open function right where it says "// react to option changes after initialization"
// open the menu
open: function(e){
var self = this,
button = this.button,
menu = this.menu,
speed = this.speed,
o = this.options;
widget: function(){
return this.menu;
},
// react to option changes after initialization
_setOption: function( key, value ){
var menu = this.menu;
switch(key){
case 'header':
menu.find('div.ui-multiselect-header')[ value ? 'show' : 'hide' ]();
I am assuming you are using the jQuery Multiselect plugin… which depends on jQuery UI.
Sounds like you have not included enough of the jQuery UI library or just none of it. You need to include the core parts of jQuery UI (including Widget) if you build a custom download. Or just download the whole jQuery UI and include it instead.
For anyone else who is getting this but has the requirements; make sure you are including the Javascript files in the correct order. This error was being caused by my jquery-ui.js being included after the multiselect js file.
This answer is probably unrelated to the situation of the questioner, but I put it here for the sake of others Googling the question.
I got this error using Rails 3.2 and fixed it by deleting (renaming) the public/assets folder. It seems there are a lot of problems with the assets pipeline still. I don't know the details but have had other Javascript failures that are fixed this way.
Actually if you are getting this error then it's either
a) per #andyb answer - you haven't included the correct jQuery UI components
OR
b) your DOM is not loaded yet with the correct $.widget and therefore your function is attempting to call before $.widget has loaded. to fix the problem, ensure $.widget is called BEFORE your function
