ignore html input types

Description

Determines whether, during test execution, the legacy captured controls of HTML input types should be taken into consideration.

Allowable values

• yes

  Executes the automated test with legacy HTML5 input control types.

• no

  Executes the automated test with new supported HTML5 input control types.

Default value

no

Notes

• In the current version TestArchitect, each of the HTML5 input types of the <input> element (including input-color, input-date, input-datetime, input-datetime-local, input-email, input-month, input-number, input-range, input-search, input-tel, input-time, input-url, and input-week) is mapped to its own TA class. (Refer to List of supported HTML5 controls for details.) Prior to TestArchitect version 8.1 Update 3, all these controls were mapped to the input-text TA class. In order to continue using these mappings for automation playback in this version, set ignore html input types to yes (see Example below).
• TestArchitect does not support automation playback in mixed mode. That is, with a setting of yes, all your <input> control type mappings must be legacy (that is, mapped to TA class input-text). Conversely, with ignore html input types set to no, only the new one-to-one <input> control type mappings (that is, input-color to input-color, input-date to input-date, etc.) are acceptable. Any attempt to do otherwise results in an automation problem at runtime, informing you that no matching UI object could be found.

Example

Suppose that you already captured a given input-search control as an input-text TA class in a previous version of TestArchitect. Now you want to continue using this legacy mapping for running automation.
