The input text.
Valid contexts

Notes
Prior to using this built-in action, it is recommended that you become familiar with the different kinds of modal JavaScript popups and how to handle them properly.
- For Safari
- on iOS, refer to Handling JavaScript popups on Safari iOS for details.
- on macOS, refer to Handling JavaScript popups on Safari macOS for details.
- For Google Chrome on Android, refer to Handling JavaScript popups on Chrome Android for details.
- For Safari
Because it is not possible for TestArchitect to interface with JavaScript popups in a conventional manner, this action suppresses the display of the popup to which it is targeted.
Caution:The actual appearance of a popup on your AUT’s display during testing will prevent automation from proceeding. If you do indeed see a popup, probable causes are:
- you specified a button that does not exist, or
- your sequence of popup-handling action lines (click on next popup and enter text on next popup) did not properly account for the order in which the actual popups were invoked.
To handle a sequence of multiple popups, use several popup-handling actions (click on next popup and enter text on next popup) in your test. These actions are stored to a FIFO (First-In, First-Out) queue and each is retrieved from the queue when required for the invocation of a new popup.
- For Safari
- on iOS, refer to Handling one or a series of popups for details.
- on macOS, refer to Handling one or a series of popups for details.
- For Google Chrome on Android, refer to Handling one or a series of popups for details.
- For Safari
If the text argument is empty, TestArchitect clears the popup’s existing default text, if any, leaving the input field blank.
Note that this action does not support the case of writing text to the user-entry field of a prompt popup, followed by clicking Cancel. To cancel a prompt, use click on next popup.
If this action is applied (inadvertently or otherwise) to an alert or a confirmation popup, TestArchitect ignores the text argument and clicks OK on the popup.
This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string
<ignore>is present as the value of the argument, or the argument contains an expression that evaluates to<ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
