How to do Doubleclick Element on SAP GUIShell using Robot Framework?

joseilton · 8 December 2020 14:25

I am trying to automate my work in SAP using the Robot Framework with the SapGuiLibrary, but at the moment I’m having difficulties executing the Doubleclick Element command on a shell object.

After inspecting the object with Script Tracker I found the lines below:

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlGRID1/shellcont/shell").setCurrentCell 2,"STRAS"
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlGRID1/shellcont/shell").selectedRows = "2"
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlGRID1/shellcont/shell").doubleClickCurrentCell

The command asks for 3 parameters:

Doubleclick Element    element_id    item_id    column_id

So I put like this:

Doubleclick Element    wnd[0]/usr/cntlGRID1/shellcont/shell    2    STRAS

But it dind’t work as you can see below:

AttributeError: <unknown>.doubleClickItem

So what am I doing wrong?

Only location in sapguilibrary where “doubleClickItem” is called is here:

github.com

frankvanderkuur/robotframework-sapguilibrary/blob/master/SapGuiLibrary/SapGuiLibrary.py#L155


    """
    self.take_screenshots = False
def doubleclick_element(self, element_id, item_id, column_id):
    """Performs a double-click on a given element. Used only for shell objects.
    """
    # Performing the correct method on an element, depending on the type of element
    element_type = self.get_element_type(element_id)
    if element_type == "GuiShell":
        self.session.findById(element_id).doubleClickItem(item_id, column_id)
    else:
        self.take_screenshot()
        message = "You cannot use 'doubleclick element' on element type '%s', maybe use 'click element' instead?" % element_type
        raise Warning(message)
    time.sleep(self.explicit_wait)
def element_should_be_present(self, element_id, message=None):
    """Checks whether an element is present on the screen.
    """
    try:

if that line throws AttributeError, the chances are that findById does not return valid element or that element is not double-clickable ?
