MATLAB App Testing - Confirmation dialog boxes

10 views (last 30 days)
How can I handle confirmation dialog boxes when testing an app with gestures?
Ideally, I would like to choose 'OK' or 'Cancel' based on some variables' values.
I know there is not a straight-forward way to do it but is there any option so that they get disabled or something??

you can create them, and chosse if they are visible or not, editable or note.
app.Button1.Visible='off'
app.Button2.Editable='off'

but I dont have buttons and the confirmation boxes are not properties of the app. They are created with uiconfirm in a another component's callback function.

Until this functionality is included in the App Testing Framework, if you can adjust the architecture of the source code you can leverage a similar strategy as that outlined here and use a mock for the confirmation dialog.
Does that help you get going?
Thanks,
Andy

The app I need to test is a large project with (too) many components and even more confirmation boxes. I have not fully understood how mock works but I think that cannot be applied to this case. Adjustments to the app's source code are surely impossible to happen.
Do you have any suggestions on how to understand mocks ? Just to make sure that they really can't help me.
Thank you very much,
Michaela

I would like to ask if it is possible to close manualy these dialog boxes during testing with matlab.uitest.unlock. Where in the source code or the testing code should I add this feature? could you please help?

You can dismiss and alert but not a confirmation dialog yet. Capability for alerts added in 21a.

I don't know of any hacky way. I added your vote to the enhancement request for this.

It sounds like you want to programmatically close a confirmation diaglog box. If so, see this answer.
