Overview

TrueAutomation::Helpers class provides helper method to use TrueAutomation.IO Smart Locators instead of Selenium or Capybara locators.

To record an element for the first time use ta(ta_name, initial_locator) syntax.

*ta_name*         is TrueAutomation Element name. We recommend to use
                  namespaced syntax. E.g. _pageName:widgetName:elementName_
*initial_locator* is Selenium/Capybara locator to use to find element
                  for the first time. If you change initial locator in your
                  code, TrueAutomation element record will be rewritten
                  during next test run.

For example:

find(:xpath, ta('true:automation:name', '//initialXpathLocator'))
find(:css, ta('true:automation:name', '.initialCSSSelector'))
click(ta('true:automation:name', 'Login'))
