Codeception Acceptance test confused by overlaid tabs

從 WebDriver 模組在重疊分頁上使用 waitForElementVisible()、see()、click()、performOn() 和 clickWithRightButton() 時背後的行為著手。如果可以，請使用最小分頁 fixture 重現回報的序列；當可見性檢查和點擊一律以目前可見的元素為目標，且不需要手動 workaround 時，即表示完成。

What are you trying to achieve?

Run an Acceptance test on a set of tabs.

What do you get instead?

A variety of errors where $I can click on elements I can't see and can't see elements that I can click on.
Sometimes using performOn() solves the problem, sometimes it causes problems where see and click work.

I have four tabs (not browser tabs). They are overlaid except for the tab headings.
Each tab contains a button (in the same location) that reloads a grid.
In a loop, I select a tab by clicking on a heading then on the reload button, then perform a series of tests involving clicking and right-clicking on the grid.

All four tab heading are always visible, but after the first pass, Codeception considers them visible but can't see them. All selectors are unique in these examples.

$element = "#orphans-{$nameLower}s-reload";
$I->waitForElementVisible($element, 5);
// $I->see($element);  // fails
$I->click($element);

The test above works as is, but fails when I uncomment the second line.

/* Test Rename grid item /*
$I->clickWithRightButton("//div[text() = '" . oPageVariables::$namePrefix . $name . "']");
$I->waitForElement("//span[text() = 'Rename {$name}(s)']");
$I->see("//span[text() = 'Rename {$name}(s)']");
$I->click("//span[text() = 'Rename {$name}(s)']");  // fails

This is the opposite problem. All tests succeed except the last one.

Replacing some of these with performOn(), solves the problem in some cases, but in other cases, replacing working code with performOn() fails.

My suspicion is that elements and their characteristics are cached on page load and not not updated when a new tab is selected. It also appears that tab headings of non-active tabs are considered invisible after the first tab is selected.

All operations work perfectly when done manually. I can make all tests pass with a lot of fiddling but no change in the source or logic (so all selectors are correct). I'm just pointing out that in an app that works fine, acceptance test operations that should work, don't when there are overlaid tabs.

I wish I could provide example code, but the code operates in the main page of a CMS, so it's massive (mostly generated by ExtJS 3) and deeply nested. I don't think it would help.

There's nothing useful in the command-line run output, even with -vvv. It just shows which tests pass and which fail.
