Methods

$(selector, objType_opt) → {*}

Creates a child test object of this test object. This operation does not cause OpenText Functional Testing for Developers to search for the object in the AUT. OpenText Functional Testing for Developers interacts with the application only when a step runs that performs an operation on the AUT object.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Attributes	Default	Description
`selector`	Description \| string			The description of the test object. Can be a full test object description or a string. If a string is provided, it is interpreted as a CSS selector with a default test object type of WebElement.
`objType`	Description	<optional>	Web.Element()	The type of test object to use when supplying a CSS string for the selector.

Returns:

the new child test object with the provided description.

Type: *

$$(selector, dontFilterByType_opt) → {Promise.<Array.<TestObject>>}

`dontFilterByType`	boolean	<optional>	false	Set this parameter to true to avoid limiting the returned objects to a specific test object type.

Returns:

a promise that is fulfilled with an array of test objects that match the supplied description.
