Feature: NotAttribute, Text\ElementNotPresent

[cwpm]

New Feature. In the past there were requirements to add a detection to check that a value \ script \ attribute \ text isn't present on websites.

We usually have a TextNotPresent to rule out bad characters, and NotAttribute to detect NoIndex,NoFollow isn't set on websites. I presume it's possible to do an ELSE or IF to accommodate this situation but it leads to writing further commands
A straight forward NotAttribute, TextNotPresent or ElementNotPresent would be quicker and less entries to include. This was present in the old Selenium IDE FF version.

Could this be considered?

Thank you for the feedback via e-mail

"NOT" commands: As you guessed, inverting a command with "if" is quite easy - and more flexible then the old "not" versions of the commands:

verifyChecked | id=xxx
if | {!lastCommandOk}
ECHO | “element is NOT CHECKED” | red
endif

Need to work on IF and ENDIF for each NotAttribute. I'll look to work that in.

In addition, the last upgrade brings the ThrowError command. This allows you stop the macro, just like an AssertNot... would do.

verifyChecked | id=xxx
if | {!lastCommandOk}
ThrowError “element is NOT CHECKED”
endif

We might still add the whole family of ...NOT... commands, but are unsure. Feedback if they are really needed, or if the if/endif solution works, is welcome.

I'll vote 👍
