Value of text field in protractor- undefined












0














I am not able to get value of label (as value is not editable and return by API).
I am using getText, but out put is always undefined. The value of this field is 2222.
using below



var activatedid = element(By.xpath("/html/body/app-root/mat-toolbar/div[3]/div[3]"));
activatedid.getText()
.then(function(text) {
console.log(this.text);

  • @surinder can you edit the question by appending the html ?

  • first make sure that the field is being displayed using isPresent() - . activatedid.isPresent().then(function(text) { console.log(text);//Will display true or false }); If it is present then check if you dont need to actually get the attribute value instead of text: activatedid.getAttribute('value').then(function(value){ console.log('field value is '+value) })

  • Yeah once you have more details it'll be easier to assume, otherwise here are three shots in the dark: 1) AND THIS IS VERY LIKELY THE CASE - remove this. before text; 2) wrong locator, at least it doesn't seem to be reliable 3) getText() gets only visible text, thus your element could be somewhere down the page

Remove this. before text, so you have



var activatedid = element(By.xpath("/html/body/app-root/mat-toolbar/div[3]/div[3]"));
activatedid.getText()
.then(function(text) {
console.log(text);
})
