Enable searching QML elemnts by objectName from JavaScript

[hekra01]

wd.executeScript(string) can be used to find qml elements by object name

e.g:
with such qml

Rectangle {
    id: button
    objectName: "button"
    Text {
        id: buttonText
        objectName: "buttonText"
        text: parent.description
        font.pixelSize: parent.height * .5
    }
}

then such selenium test works

class SeleniumTest(unittest.TestCase):
    def testPage(self):
        self.browser.get("file:///home/hekra/qtwebdriver/b.qml")
        v = self.browser.execute_script("var v = ObjectNameUtils.findChild('button'); return v.objectName;")
        print "js result ", v
        v = self.browser.execute_script("var v = ObjectNameUtils.findChild('buttonText'); return v.font.pixelSize;")
        print "js result ", v
        v = self.browser.execute_script("var v = ObjectNameUtils.findChild('buttonText'); return v.parent.objectName;")
        print "js result ", v

@hekra01 I tried to use this feature. However, it failed with Current view doesnt support this command

Here is more details: Current view doesnt support this command for Qml application with Qt WebDriver and Selenium

Hi @nazar-art

I answered also in you post.
You need to select the QDeclarative view, otherwise the currently active window will be MainWidow, which cannot process JS
See explanations and examples here: https://github.com/cisco-open-source/qtwebdriver/wiki/Hybridity-And-View-Management

@hekra01 I watched this post earlier.
However, I did get how to combine this post and my typical situation with QDeclarative view.
Could you help with understandeng it?

[hekra01]

The source of your app is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MainWindow elementId="2312dc5007f290f9bf4f3f92d3aa6884" className="MainWindow">
    <QRubberBand id="qt_rubberband" elementId="45050a91d64ad4cde3e3df8091813f54" className="QRubberBand"/>
    <QDeclarativeView elementId="3c4890eed00091c95bde9a653f59d22e" className="QDeclarativeView">
        <QWidget id="qt_scrollarea_hcontainer" elementId="ff075abbbeb5fe23501c7da3241def96" className="QWidget">
            <QScrollBar elementId="51188e66ef541bc0563bea5780cf8ed2" className="QScrollBar"/>
        </QWidget>
        <QWidget id="qt_scrollarea_vcontainer" elementId="3692bfb1340019907b7982f1ef2f821f" className="QWidget">
            <QScrollBar elementId="e76434466faf78d008ca5b096719e188" className="QScrollBar"/>
        </QWidget>
        <QWidget elementId="ac4c1e620945ad4784fbbcd3c60ae3f1" className="QWidget"/>
    </QDeclarativeView>
</MainWindow>

Using cap.setCapability("browserStartWindow", "*"); the webdriver will select the first window it finds.
In this case probably MainWindow. MainWindow cannot process
Check the Java code sample in https://github.com/cisco-open-source/qtwebdriver/wiki/Hybridity-And-View-Management#hybrid-uis
The selectWindow iterates the windows and switches to the one with required content type.

If you are using Option-1 then uou do not need the cap.setCapability("browserClass", "MyWebView"); and webCreator->RegisterViewClass<QDeclarativeView>("MyWebView");
