Unique ID for DIV elements

We have noticed that Pega does nto generate a unique ID for each DIV elements for repeating grids and some other layouts. This has become a blocked for automation testing using cucumber/ruby. Is there a way to get a unique ID generated for all the UI elements.

 

I have seen an option to generate ID for some of the control like label, text box etc...  is there a way we can generate unique ID for all other UI elements like grid etc

Hello Pavan,

Thanks for posting your query.

From Pega 7.1.8, I see that generateID is available on UI control elements like text, label, button, etc.. However, this is currently not available for layouts. May I know the product version used at your end?

Regards,

Rincy

Hi Pavan,

For grids, We will be having id at the div tag level. The id of the gird will be in the following format

Lets say for First grid in the current html page it wil be id="PEGA_GRID0. For second grid in the same html page the id will be id="PEGA_GRID1". If you check the html mark up of the grid in developer tools you will find it. Attached is the screen print for reference.

 The grid layout gets its unique id when the grid object (pega.ui.grid) is initialized in javascript memory. This id entirely depends on the number of grids present in the screen at any point of time and it also gets updated based on section refresh.

Hi Team,

I have started working on PEGA automation and want to know if there is any possibility that different elements will have same element id, as we have multiple developers on the same project. Also if the unique id will change dynamically everytime time we open the application.
