Research direction

Start with the existing model-driven app samples and TestEngine documentation, comparing custom-page coverage with the entitylist and entityrecord cases described here. The work is complete when the supported selectors for the main grid, its rows, and its cells are identified and documented or the question receives an authoritative answer.

Description

question
Does this question already exist in our backlog?
  • I have checked and confirm this is a new question.
What is your question?

Currently, all the samples concerning model-driven apps (mda) are testing only custom pages but none is addressing entitylist or entityrecord.
I tried myself to build a test for a mda entitylist where I would like to select a given row within the list displayed in the main grid.
I've tried unsuccessfully many names to reference the main grid like: grid, gridentity, gridEntity, treegrid, treeGrid, items, Items.
I've search through all available documentation but I did not find any workable selector name!

Can you tell me what are the correct selectors to use when referencing the main grid, a row in the grid, a cell in the grid?

What component are you experiencing the issue with?

PowerFX

What pac version are you using?

I'm using a locally built version of the TestEngine downloaded on 22-OCT-2025
