Sequential typing (pressSequentially)

Sequential typing (pressSequentially) ​

Types Value into the Target character by character. type remains the earlier per-character action. pressSequentially is the same idea with the current method.

Step model ​

action_namepressSequentially
GroupInput
TargetRequired
ValueRequired (text)
expected_valueUnused
TEST_ACCOUNTAllowed
Do not confuse withtype, fill, press

Target/Value facts match the source-of-truth catalog and Autotest step.

Prerequisites ​

  1. Target is a field that accepts per-character input.

Steps ​

  1. Add a pressSequentially step.
  2. Set Target.
  3. Enter the text in Value.
  4. Save.

The step is stored on the autotest. Next - neighbouring steps or autotest run creation.

Examples ​

Search by characters ​

Fields in the UI:

Step JSON fragment (copy-paste):

json
{
  "action_name": "pressSequentially",
  "target": {
    "kind": "LABEL",
    "value": "Search"
  },
  "value_text": "cart",
  "value_source_type": "INLINE"
}

Common mistakes ​

  • For a normal field fill use fill: it is faster and more stable.

Screenshots of the step form for pressSequentially will be added here in a later pass.
