Alternative selectors for one element

SebastianŁaska — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 13:21:00 GMT

Is it possible to use alternative selectors for one element? For example:

UIAutomation and Region for one element. If element is not found by UIAutomation then Region selector is used.

Or HTML and Region for one element. If element is not found by HTML then Region selector is used

You can't apply different selectors to the same element, but you can could create multiple version of an element, using different spy modes. Eg MyButton-Win32, MyButtom-UIA, MyButton-AA etc. And with a multi-branch wait stage you can detect which version of the element is available.

Bear in mind that in reality a region is just a 'geographical' area of a Win32 element.
