Pega 8.4.1 - Scenario Testing - Unable to record this element as this is unsupported element or has invalid DOM structure
Hi - We are trying to implement scenario testing in Pega 8.4.1 environment and facing an issue while trying to identify/record a submit action on a button that is customized but has a generated test id. Attached screenshot has the error message, "Unable to record this element as this is unsupported element or has invalud DOM structure " please suggest any resolution for this issue.
Also, in certain cases when trying to run a testcase, the automation recorder is getting closed automatically. Unable to figure out a reason for this. Please share any suggestion on this as well.

HI Abhi,
Is the button out of the box or you have created a non auto generated control ?
In Scenario testing only test id is not sufficient, the control should be out of the box as well.

As per the screenshot it's saying Invalid DOM structure of the Button, As you mentioned about customization let me know what specific customization you have made?

We also faced same problem with buttons but after updating buttons as per pega recommendation,problem is solved.
I mean as soon as we open the button properties in the section its displaying warning kind of "update code as it is generating the mark up for old browsers" as soon as we updated its started working.

Thanks Abhishek and Sriteja - I have updated the button control to latest version(post upgrade) and the recorder started identifying the element from there on.
However there are other issues that I have been facing with a repeating grid, where an expand icon is available on the user interface and a click operation is being recorded. While rerunning the test case, the click action is happening on a row instead of the "expand icon". There is no attribute associated with this step as well.
Please help with any suggestions on how to record such elements. Also there is no reference anywhere on how to use "Custom Selector" option, please share any example on this as well.
Attached screenshot has the step details.
