Tests for multi choice value#1971

Changes

Added setAllowMultipleSelections method to check “Allow multiple selections” checkbox 
Changed method initFilterColumn for work with filters for List values 
Added method testMultiChoiceValues() to ListTest (scope: create, edit) 
Created new shuffleSelect() for random amount of random values from list 
Changed method selectOptionByText() for multi choice values. If we need value to be selected we first check if it’s selected and then click

+                    if(textChoiceValidator.getMultipleSelections())
+                    {
+                        fieldRow.setAllowMultipleSelections(textChoiceValidator.getMultipleSelections());
+                    }


This will only set it if textChoiceValidator.getMultipleSelections is true, correct? This is ok if you are creating a field, but wouldn't work as expected if the test is editing an existing field and wants to change to field from a multi-choice to a single choice.
Perhaps a better check would be:
if(null != textChoiceValidator.getMultipleSelections())

+            lookupSelect.clearSelection();
+


Will this work if a test is trying to add to an existing selections?

src/org/labkey/test/components/domain/DomainFormPanel.java

+                    if(textChoiceValidator.getMultipleSelections())
+                    {
+                        fieldRow.setAllowMultipleSelections(textChoiceValidator.getMultipleSelections());
+                    }


This would make it impossible to disable multi-select through this method.
This should either call setAllowMultipleSelections unconditionally or the condition should check whether textChoiceValidator.getMultipleSelections() != null.

src/org/labkey/test/components/ui/search/FilterFacetedPanel.java

+    /**
+     * Select a single facet value by clicking its label. Should replace all existing selections.
+     * @param value desired value
+     */
+    public void selectFilter(String value)
+    {
+        elementCache().filterTypeSelects.select(value);
+    }


Update this comment to describe this method (looks leftover from the selectValue). The comment should also mention that this is only relevant to multi-value text choice fields.

This could also take a Filter.Operator instead of a String for some extra type-safety.

labkey-tchad · 2026-02-06T23:10:59Z

src/org/labkey/test/components/ui/grids/ResponsiveGrid.java

                List<String> values = (List<String>) value;
                filterModal.selectFacetTab().selectValue(values.get(0));
                filterModal.selectFacetTab().checkValues(values.toArray(String[]::new));
+                filterModal.selectFacetTab().selectFilter(operator.getDisplayValue());


I think this will (or could) break functionality for other column types; the facet panel usually doesn't have a filter type.
Also, this wouldn't work for "Is Empty" or "Is Not Empty".

I’m planning to add support for 'Is Empty' and 'Is Not Empty' as well.

Regarding the functionality for other types: I’ve already found one test that was failing, so I added a check to the initFilterColumn method. It now checks if the filter type selector is present on the page before trying to interact with it. After this change, the test is passing.

Does this approach sound okay to you?

src/org/labkey/test/pages/DatasetInsertPage.java

        for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : values.entrySet())
        {
-            WebElement fieldInput = Locator.name(EscapeUtil.getFormFieldName(entry.getKey())).findElement(getDriver());
+            WebElement fieldInput = Locator.nameContaining(EscapeUtil.getFormFieldName(entry.getKey())).findElement(getDriver());


Use a more precise locator and add a comment explaining why this can't match the name exactly. (See UpdateQueryRowPage)

labkey-tchad · 2026-02-07T00:42:31Z

src/org/labkey/test/tests/list/ListTest.java

+        table.clickInsertNewRow();
+        String valuesToChoose = tcValues.subList(1, 3).stream()
+                .sorted()
+                .collect(Collectors.joining(" "));
+        Locator loc = Locator.nameContaining(EscapeUtil.getFormFieldName(columnName));
+        selectOptionByText(loc, valuesToChoose);


clickInsertNewRow returns a page object that should have methods for setting fields.

src/org/labkey/test/tests/list/ListTest.java

+        String encodedListName = "multiChoiceList";
+        String keyName = "'><script>alert(\":(\")</script>'";
+        String columnName = "MultiChoiceField";


Consider using randomly generated field and list names. (I'm not sure whether ListHelper can handle the tricky characters but it's worth a try)

Suggested change

String encodedListName = "multiChoiceList";

String keyName = "'><script>alert(\":(\")</script>'";

String columnName = "MultiChoiceField";

String encodedListName = TestDataGenerator.randomDomainName("multiChoiceList", DomainUtils.DomainKind.IntList);

String keyName = TestDataGenerator.randomFieldName("'><script>alert(\":(\")</script>'");

String columnName = TestDataGenerator.randomFieldName("MultiChoiceField");

+        selectOptionByText(loc, valuesToChoose);
+
+        clickButton("Submit");
+        checker().verifyEquals("Multi choice value not as expected", valuesToChoose, table.getDataAsText(0, columnName));


checker() doesn't take screenshots automatically. If you're doing a single check, checker().withScreenshot().verifyX will trigger a failure screenshot. If you're doing several checks, you should call checker().screenShotIfNewError(); after the checks.

Suggested change

checker().verifyEquals("Multi choice value not as expected", valuesToChoose, table.getDataAsText(0, columnName));

checker().withScreenshot().verifyEquals("Multi choice value not as expected", valuesToChoose, table.getDataAsText(0, columnName));

+        checker().verifyEquals("Multi choice value not as expected", valuesToChoose, table.getDataAsText(0, columnName));


Take a screenshot.

Suggested change

checker().verifyEquals("Multi choice value not as expected", valuesToChoose, table.getDataAsText(0, columnName));

checker().withScreenshot().verifyEquals("Multi choice value not as expected", valuesToChoose, table.getDataAsText(0, columnName));

src/org/labkey/test/WebDriverWrapper.java

+        if(Boolean.parseBoolean(selectElement.getAttribute("multiple"))) {
+            List<WebElement> elems = selectElement.findElements(Locator.tag("option"));
+            elems.forEach(element->{
+                if(value.contains(element.getAttribute("value")) ^ element.isSelected()) element.click();
+            });
+            return;
+        }


This is less precise than we like for broadly available helpers; it would get confused by selection options that have overlapping text. I would suggest having a separate method for multi-select (selectOptionsByText(WebElement selectElement, List<String> values).

We should only run the test on Postgres.

Suggested change

public void testMultiChoiceValues()

{

public void testMultiChoiceValues()

{

Assume.assumeTrue("Multi-choice text fields are only supported on PostgreSQL", WebTestHelper.getDatabaseType() == WebTestHelper.DatabaseType.PostgreSQL);
