UI Automation - Karate DSL unable to identify locators of HTML file

Question

Feature: Locate elements of HTML page instead http URL

Background:

• configure driver = {type:'chromedriver' , executable:'D:\ChromeDriver\chromedriver.exe'}

Scenario: Given driver 'D:/APIs/test-iframe.html'

• driver.maximize()
• waitUntil("document.readyState == 'complete'")
• waitFor('#txt-username')
• input('#txt-username', 'John Doe')

Answer 1

As far as I know, an HTML file loaded from the file system will NOT behave like a web-page and some things you expect will not work.

You may have to run a web-server and then use that to serve the file.

If you have python installed, that may be a very quick way to do it.

Karate can do it as well with some more work.
