Description
The IgnoreAttributes property specifies whether TestComplete ignores attributes and namespace declarations when comparing XML documents with the Compare method of the XMLCheckpoint object. For instance, if the property is True, TestComplete will consider the following nodes as equal (the ignored parts are marked with blue):
XML
<myElement xmlns:ns1="http://www.mycompany.com/tmpl/ns1" attr1="1" attr2="card">Some value</myElement>
<myElement>Some value</myElement>
Declaration
XMLCheckpointOptionsObj.IgnoreAttributes
| Read-Write Property | Boolean |
| XMLCheckpointOptionsObj | An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to an XMLCheckpointOptions object | |||
Applies To
The property is applied to the following object:
Property Value
True, if TestComplete will ignore attributes and namespace declarations during comparison, and False otherwise.
Remarks
The XMLCheckpointOptions object provides access to a copy of the element’s data. Changes made to the comparison settings via the IgnoreAttributes property will not be stored in the XMLCheckpoint element and will not be displayed in the XMLCheckpointOptions Element editor.
Example
The following example demonstrates how you can obtain the XMLCheckpointOtions object, set its IgnoreAttributes property value to True and compare XMLCheckpoint with the XML document.
JavaScript, JScript
{
var XMLCheckpoint, XMLOptions, XMLDoc;
// Obtains the XMLCheckpoint object.
XMLCheckpoint = XML.MyXMLCheckpoint;
// Obtains the XMLCheckpointOptions object.
XMLOptions = XMLCheckpoint.Options;
// Enables the IgnoreAttributes XML checkpoint option.
XMLOptions.IgnoreAttributes = true;
// Specifies the XML document path.
XMLDoc = "D:\\Work Folder\\XMLFile.xml";
// Compares MyXMLCheckpoint with the XML document.
XMLCheckpoint.Compare(XMLDoc)
}
Python
def IgnoreAttributesDemo():
# Obtains the XMLCheckpoint object.
XMLCheckpoint = XML.MyXMLCheckpoint
# Obtains the XMLCheckpointOptions object.
XMLOptions = XMLCheckpoint.Options
# Enables the IgnoreAttributes XML checkpoint option.
XMLOptions.IgnoreAttributes = True
# Specifies the XML document path.
XMLDoc = "D:\\Work Folder\\XMLFile.xml"
# Compares MyXMLCheckpoint with the XML document.
XMLCheckpoint.Compare(XMLDoc)VBScript
Dim XMLCheckpoint, XMLOptions, XMLDoc
' Obtains the XMLCheckpoint object.
Set XMLCheckpoint = XML.MyXMLCheckpoint
' Obtains the XMLCheckpointOptions object.
Set XMLOptions = XMLCheckpoint.Options
' Enables the IgnoreAttributes XML checkpoint option.
XMLOptions.IgnoreAttributes = True
' Specifies the XML document path.
XMLDoc = "D:\Work Folder\XMLFile.xml"
' Compares MyXMLCheckpoint with the XML document.
XMLCheckpoint.Compare(XMLDoc)
End Sub
DelphiScript
var XMLCheckpoint, XMLOptions, XMLDoc;
begin
// Obtains the XMLCheckpoint object.
XMLCheckpoint := XML.MyXMLCheckpoint;
// Obtains the XMLCheckpointOptions object.
XMLOptions := XMLCheckpoint.Options;
// Enables the IgnoreAttributes XML checkpoint option.
XMLOptions.IgnoreAttributes := True;
// Specifies the XML document path.
XMLDoc: = 'D:\Work Folder\XMLFile.xml';
// Compares MyXMLCheckpoint with the XML document.
XMLCheckpoint.Compare(XMLDoc);
end;
C++Script, C#Script
{
var XMLCheckpoint, XMLOptions, XMLDoc;
// Obtains the XMLCheckpoint object.
XMLCheckpoint = XML["MyXMLCheckpoint"];
// Obtains the XMLCheckpointOptions object.
XMLOptions = XMLCheckpoint["Options"];
// Enables the IgnoreAttributes XML checkpoint option.
XMLOptions["IgnoreAttributes"] = true;
// Specifies the XML document path.
XMLDoc = "D:\\Work Folder\\XMLFile.xml";
// Compares MyXMLCheckpoint with the XML document.
XMLCheckpoint["Compare"](XMLDoc)
}
