====== GUI HTML Adaptor ======


=====Introducción=====
 
TAST ha creado este Adaptador que nos permite interactuar con todo tipo de páginas web para: navegar, extraer datos, validar, etc. A través del Adaptador GUI HTML, TAST se conecta con aplicaciones web basadas en HTML y es posible probar dichas aplicaciones. Este adaptador tiene un importante compañero llamado Mapeo Selectivo, que es un asistente JavaScript que aporta una interfaz de usuario más amigable para ayudar a la creación de mapeos TAST. Es posible realizar pruebas individuales con este Adaptador o pruebas End to End conectando con otros Adaptadores.
===== Initialization Parameters =====

  * **Url:** first url to locate when the Adaptor is created.
  * **Browser (optional):** the browser you will use in the test (e.g. IE, Chrome). Internet explorer is used by default.
  * **Validate Insert Values:** it’s indicates if the Adaptor should validate or not the values which receive the Adaptor during the execution. By default, is unchecked. The recommendation is to maintain unchecked for performance reasons. This field is very useful in special test cases, but in general it’s not necessary to use it.
  * **Full Screenshot:** if this “checkbox” is checked it will take a screenshot of all the page (not just the visible part), if its not checked, the screenshots will be just the visible part of the page.
  * **Create Selenium JSON**: clicking on this checkbox generates a .side file after the execution of the navigation.\\ \\ \\ **Mobile view parameters**\\ \\ The following parameters will only be used if you want to emulate mobile view on the browser.\\ \\ 
       *  **Device emulator**: it is used to be able to have mobile view on the execution. It allows choosing the device. If no device is chosen, there won’t be emulation, the execution will be done with the standard format. When a device is chose, the default resolution of that device will be shown on the next three fields, and the execution format will be with that resolution. This resolution can be changed manually, and are the following:\\ \\ 
             * ** Device width**
             * ** Device height**
             * ** Device zoom**\\ \\ 
       * **Horizontal mode**: clicking on this checkbox, the execution will be done in horizontal mode (as if the phone was turned horizontal).\\ \\ 

===== Functions =====

  * **allOptionsAreSelected(Element):** Checks if all options are selected. Applies to select multiple html. Element is the input parameter here, (Element is an html element which the user can interact with, like links, inputs, checks, etc. Also there is a SearchBy input that is used to search the type of value or tag the element can have. Those tags are: ClassName, CssSelector, Id, LinkText, Name, PartialLinkText, TagName and xPath).

  * **checkbox(Element):** Ticks the checkbox in the element. The input parameter is Element, in this function, the user indicates the checkbox element that is going to be ticked, and then the function ticks it.

  * **click(Element):** Does a mouse click on the html element. The user indicates the html element to be clicked with the input parameter (“Element”).

  * **clickAction(Element):** This PF has a similar behavior to the click() PF. However, in this case, before clicks on the control, it simulates the movement of the mouse. This behavior is mandatory in several applications.

  * **clickandHold(Element,Time):** Function that does a click and hold the element. This function collects an input parameter (element) in which you indicate where to click and another parameter to indicate the time the element will be hold (optional value). By default, the hold event will last 1 second. Also, this function takes a screenshot in the middle of time parameter. 

  * **clickByJavaScript(Element):** Click in the html element through a JavaScript execution.

  * **clickLink(Element):** Does a mouse click on the html element. Use when a new window is opened. When the application opens a new html page, we have to use clickLink because the application does not have the focus of the second html page.

  * **closeOthersWindows():** Close all extra open windows, leaving the main one active. Do not need input parameters.

  * **closeWindow():** Closes the test browser. //We can not use the closeWindow function if we will later use the openUrl function, because we will lose the HTML GUI Adaptor instance.// It needs an input parameter element, to select any element on the page we want to close. 

  * **cookiesManage:** Click on the button to accept cookies.

  * **countElements():** Counts found elements html and saves value to integer variable. The parameter is Element, with this we can indicate which part of the html the user wants to count.

  * **dragAndDrop():** Function to move an element to another one. The “ElementFrom” parameter is to choose the element that the user wants to drag, and the “ElementTo” to choose where the user wants to drop the first element. The result is the movement of the first element.

  * **dragAndDropClickAndHold():** Fills the same function as the dragAndDrop, but moves the element in a different way. Should be used if dragAndDrop does not work. Has an extra optional parameter to wait before releasing the selected element.
 
  * **fileDownload(Element):** Downloads a file. The path parameter (path to download the file) is optional. If not specified, by default the file will be downloaded to the logs folder.
      * In the diagram is not necessary previously to use a click or any other action.

            * **//files//:** in this case, when inspecting the page from where the file will be downloaded, the <href> tag must appear, which will include the URL from where the file is downloaded:\\ \\ {{:fileDownload.png}}\\ \\             
            * **//images//:** in this case, when inspecting the page from where the image will be downloaded, the element 'src' must appear:\\ \\ {{:fileDownload_1.png}}\\ \\
