The 'onSelectRow' callback is:

function(row_id) {
var row_data = $('#list').getRowData(row_id);

$('input#asset_id').val(row_id);
$('input#asset_title').val(row_data.title);
}

It populates the #asset_id and #asset_title inputs with data from the grid. This works well.

I want to create an automated test that simulates the user clicking on the row to fire the 'onSelectRow' callback. The goal is to verify the page is updated as expected.

Normally when I want to simulate the user following a link I can do something like:
find_link_with_name('Follow me').click
I do not understand the jqGrid mouse event processing well enough to identify which HTML tag to "click" that will trigger the 'onSelectRow' callback.

One option is to run javascript that sets the selected row:
@browser.execute_script("$('#list').setSelection('34')")
I am hoping to achieve the same result without using javascript.

I will post a better example in a week or so.

Have you tried 'onSelectRow' option?

To automate, I'm not sure if I get what you want but I think it is populate html atfer loading the grid, the option 'loadComplete' runs functions after the loading is complete, you could use it for what you want.

Best regards,

I set up a grid to display data. When I click on a row the grid populates HTML elements on the page. This works when I test manually.

I want to automate these test steps by driving the grid using Selenium.

I tried doing $('tr#1602').click() to simulate the user clicking on a row. However, jqGrid does not respond to this.

Which element should I direct the click to?

Is there a better way to automate testing a jqGrid instance?

Thanks,

Alvin.
