====== User Object Adaptor ======


===== Introduction =====

This adapter is used to execute the flow information of the TAST execution process, by manipulating variables that are used to obtain and establish values in the adapters, as well as in decision making and loops.

===== Configuration =====

No information is established during initialization of the adapter. It is by using the information of the predefined functions where it is performed.


===== Initialization Parameters =====

There are no Initialization Parameters.

===== Functions =====

   * **sendEmail():**  sends an e-mail with the results of the test cases that are within a Test Set and were executed before the test case containing this function. It has the following fields:
      * To: addresses to send the e-mail to, separated by semicolons.
      * Subject: subject of the email.
      * Body: body of the e-mail.
      * TS Results: if checked, the following will be added to the subject and body of the mail:\\ - Subject: (Result- ok/ko/not completed).\\ - Body: **(TestCaseNameN. TCDN Description - [Result - ok/ko]**.\\ - URL - (url of the evidence file for this testcase in TAST).
      * Attachment: (OPTIONAL, multiple field, will go last). Path to the file(s) to be attached to the mail.

  * **sendKeys(String, Delay in miliseconds):** this function sends the keys one by one where the cursor is at this moment. It has two input parameters:
    *Parameter String: keys to send, for example:\\ ~!@#$%^&*()_+{}|:\”<>? abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ çÇáÉñÑä
    *Parameter Delay miliseconds (Optional): delay in milliseconds between keys, for example 200.

  * **sendKeysCombination(Key+Key, Delay in miliseconds):** this function sends the combinations of the keys (or Java Robot KeyEvent API) one by one separated by a + where the cursor is at this moment. For Java Robot KeyEvent API see link: 'https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/event/KeyEvent.html'.\\ Receive two parameters: Combination of keys to send, for example: “Control+a”, “Control+z”, “Control+alt+3”, “delete”, “VK_CONTROL+VK_A”, “VK_CONTROL+VK_ALT+VK_A”, “VK_DELETE” etc… (Optional) Delay in milliseconds between keys, for example 200.\\  \\ The list of allowed Keys are: ADD, ALT, ARROW_DOWN, ARROW_LEFT, ARROW_RIGHT, ARROW_UP, BACKSPACE, BACK_SPACE, CANCEL, CLEAR, COMMAND, CONTROL, DECIMAL, DELETE, DIVIDE, DOWN, END, ENTER, EQUALS, ESCAPE, F1, F10, F11, F12, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, HELP, HOME, INSERT, LEFT, LEFT_ALT, LEFT_CONTROL, LEFT_SHIFT, META, MULTIPLY, NULL, NUMPAD0, NUMPAD1, NUMPAD2, NUMPAD3, NUMPAD4, NUMPAD5, NUMPAD6, NUMPAD7, NUMPAD8, NUMPAD9, PAGE_DOWN, PAGE_UP, PAUSE, RETURN, RIGHT, SEMICOLON, SEPARATOR, SHIFT, SPACE, SUBTRACT, TAB, UP

  * **sendKeysCombinationThread:** this function runs in a separate thread and sends the key combinations (Java Robot KeyEvent API) one by one separated by a + where the cursor is at the moment. The first parameter indicates how long to wait before executing. The function can be used before calling the method that needs key interaction.

  * **sendKeysPaste(Text):** this function executes pasting the text where the cursor is at this moment. Like buffered text paste using “Control+V” combination. Receive one parameter: Text to paste, for example: ~!@#$%^&*()_+{}|:\”<>? abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ çÇáÉñÑä

  * **setArrayVariable():** creates or modifies a specific cell in an array. The setVariable is used to create the array, and the created variable is used as the name in the first parameter of the setArrayVariable.\\ The variable type of the value you want to create or modify must be Boolean, Date, Double, Integer or String.\\ You have to specify the column number and the row number to access the cell you want to create or modify.\\ For example: ColNum(1) and RowNum(2) would give you access to the second cell of the array.

  * **setVariable():** creates a variable whose name is entered as a parameter. The variable types are: TastTableData, String, Integer, Double, Date or Boolean.\\ To create an array from this function, the user has to create a variable type TASTTABLEDATA and add in the value box the value like the following example:\\ [ [\\ {"type":"STRING","value":"myfirstdata"}\\ ,\\ {"type":"STRING","value":"myseconddata"}\\ ,\\ {"type":"INTEGER","value":"3"}\\ ],[\\ {"type":"STRING","value":"segovia"}\\ ,\\ {"type":"STRING","value":"avila"}\\ ,\\ {type":"INTEGER","value":"24"}\\ ] ]\\ ¨The same happens with: TASTROWTABLEDATA\\ [ [ \\  {"type":"DOUBLE","value":"5.25"}\\ ,\\ {"type":"DATE","value":"05/08/2019"}\\ ,\\ {"type":"BOOLEAN","value":"false"}\\ ] ]\\ \\ The allowed types of variables are:\\ STRING; INTEGER; DOUBLE; DATE; BOOLEAN.\\ \\ Also the first value in a tastTableData and tastRowTableData is 1.\\ \\ As posible confusion cases, to use the elements of a table, for example to use "value":"05/08/2019" the user can do it like: #nameOfTheTastRowTableData.getCellValue(2), this way the user will obtain the value of the example in the tastRowTableData.\\ \\ Another case could be the user capability to edit the space in certain position of the “array” for example to edit: "value":"05/08/2019" in tastRowTableData, could be done with: #nameOfTheTastRowTableData.setCellValue(2, "05/08/2019").
    
  * **systemCloseProgram():** close system program. Closes the Outlook of your system. With the input parameter you choose between two options, “hxoutlook” or “outlook”.

  * **takeScreenshot():** this function does an screenshot with Java Robot to an element that is visible at that moment in the user screen. It does not require input parameters and the data will be stored in evidences folder.
