How to handle the dynamic ids in selenium IDE

Hi All,

I have recently started with selenium IDE for smoke test porpose.

I had a serious problem due to environment change in application. For example....

Previously my code like - viewPC_7_EMCVDGL10023E023O5G5711OM2_:newbatch:bdate

Current code is - viewns_7_EMCVDGL10023E023O5G5711OM2_:newbatch:bdate

Can anyone please suggest me...

Hi Sreenath,

you can try using xpath . In that you can use starts-with , contains, ends-with depending on the situation.

In your example above, the starting point is varying... viewPC and then viewns

so you have to use contains

in the target box
//div[contains(@id,'_EMCVDGL10023E023O5G5711OM2')]

Let me know if it works.

Thanks,
Lavanya.

Sreenath,

You have to use some path locator like Xpath etc.
and find out something static or you can also use particular place like
Table row column etc, and store the value in a variable.

Hope this logic will work

Cheers,
