In case it’s not possible to select or copy a text, use button in mode. Optical Character Recognition will extract all characters that are selected and copy them into a Clipboard content.

Make sure the Editor is in mode.

1. Select a stable Anchor Area.
2. Draw a swipe over coded or changing content. Editor automatically switches to mode.
3. Click on to change swipe action into OCR action. The recognized area, marked in green rectangular, is copied to Clipboard content. 
4. Click Play it to confirm and record the action.

In order to make a test fail due to changes in data, click Editor->Control->EVAL to insert a PHP code evaluation.

See How to evaluate a PHP commands to manipulate variables and clipboard (Experimental feature) for details on EVAL action.

EVAL error("Text 'Step 1' not found.")

Makes the test fail with “Text ‘Step 1’ not found.” as error message:

Example:

If we would like to assert that the clipboard contains value “Testing” use

EVAL $CLIPBOARD=="Testing"||error("myerror")

If you need to calculate days, you can perform that using the EVAL action.

See How to evaluate a PHP commands to manipulate variables and clipboard (Experimental feature) for details on EVAL action.

PHP syntax

Reference: https://php-legacy-docs.zend.com/manual/php5/en/function.date

date(format, date);

Code samples:

date('d.m.Y',strtotime("- 10 Days"))
date('d.m.Y',strtotime("yesterday"))
date('d.m.Y',strtotime("tomorrow"))
date('d.m.Y',strtotime("+ 3 weeks"))
date('d.m.Y',strtotime("- 2 Months"))
date('d.m.Y',strtotime("now"))
date('d.m.Y',strtotime("next Saturday"))
date('d.m.Y',strtotime("last Year"))

Example

1) Set a value to variable “days_before” in Editor->Data :
“days_before” = 10

2) Use EVAL in a test step with this constant:

EVAL "".date('d.m.Y', strtotime("-".${"days_before"}." Days") )

Running this EVAL action on today’s date 23.04.2022 results in a clipboard value 13.04.2022
