Examples

Here are some examples of possible prompts that you can use:

generate code to validate page URL

The code is typically used in an Add Custom Validation step to validate that the URL of the page matches a specified regular expression pattern.

generate code to validate checkbox checked

This code is typically used in a Custom Condition to validate that a certain checkbox is selected/checked. For example, when using a Click step to select a checkbox, you may want to use this custom condition to verify if the checkbox is not already selected..

generate code to input text to rich text editor

This code is typically used in custom validation steps to be able to input text into a Rich Text Editor element. This is useful in cases where the Set text step cannot input text into a Rich Text Editor element. In this case, the code in the Custom validation step will input the text into the Rich Text Editor element during execution..

generate code to compare three parameter values

This code is typically used in a custom condition and custom validation step to check that certain parameters that were used in the test all share the same value..
