Within this div, an AngularJS ng-click attribute is utilized to assign a value to a variable upon clicking the div.
<div id="id"
ng-click="foo.bar = true;">
Set bar variable on foo object to true
</div>
The following Java code snippet demonstrates the use of Selenium to click on the mentioned div element.
By upload = By.id("id");
driver.findElement(uploadCensus).click();
Encountering a situation where running the Java code causes AngularJS to hang indefinitely. The issue stems from the inability to set the foo.bar variable when the div is clicked. Implementing a workaround that directly sets the variable with the following code:
By upload = By.id("id");
((JavascriptExecutor) driver)
.executeScript("foo.bar = true;",
driver.findElement(upload));
A stack trace error message reports that 'foo' is not defined, indicating the need for globally accessing the variable buried inside AngularJS source code. Despite efforts to search for and manipulate the elusive variable within the unminified index, the task proves challenging. Seeking advice on how to locate and modify the 'foo.bar' variable through JavascriptExecutor.
If the current approach to triggering the ng-click event seems inefficient, alternative suggestions are welcome. While Protractor could offer a solution, constraints in deploying this AngularJS application within an enterprise setting necessitate sticking with Selenium. Assistance in resolving this dilemma would be greatly appreciated...
