Level 1 Lesson 6 Part 3 Dynamic Selectors

Learn Academy Feedback
1

hi all,
I am trying to do the “Highlight” assignment in Level 1 Lesson 6 Part 3 video - Dynamic Selectors. Unfortunately it is not working.
In my humble opinion, when they are showing the solution, that is to replace “0” with “+digit+”, where digit is the input variable, it is not very clear as they are showing it in properties textbox instead of Ui Explorer.
However here is what I am doing -

less than sign uia automationid = ‘num"+digit+"Button’ cls=‘Button’>

-(Sorry for writing like this…when I am giving the less than sign it is not coming and as I am using my office network so somehow I am not able to upload the screenshot).
It is throwing error saying current selector is invalid.
I am sure I am doing some silly mistake.
Could you please help me out with that?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks @lakshman.
Unfortunately as I am not able to upload the screenshot. I guess as I am using my office network there is(probably) some restriction.
But I have edited my original post. Please have a look.

Is this your original selector or not ?

automationid = ‘num0Button’ cls=‘Button’>

Ok. Then your selector is correct. But what error are you getting here ?

And the Validate button is also showing the red cross(error).

Hi @sujoy_mukherjee,
There is a known bug with dynamic selectors based on variable. If you will put you variable in selector editor as let’s say "+variable+" it will change it to quote;+variable+quote;. Please check if you don’t have situation like this. If you have you need to write your variable manually (not in UiExplorer) directly in selector text box → image. This should work. And don’t open selector with this ... button.

Make sure that attached screen is opened in back ground. Then only it will shown validate in Green color.

Thanks @Pablito and @lakshman for your help.

I have followed Pablito’s advise and edit it within property window only.
However still there was an error - it was showing Option Strict On disallows implicit conversion from String to Double
The variable was declared as Int32.
Now I applied toString method on it and it is working fine.
Thanks again for your help :slightly_smiling_face:
