Bug 174497 – Web Automation: FindNodes should throw an error in case of invalid strategy

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit2

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

We are currently returning null or empty list. According to the spec in 12.2 Find Element and 12.3 Find Elements, step 4.

"If location strategy is not present as a keyword in the table of location strategies, return error with error code invalid argument."

This is causing test test_should_throw_an_error_if_user_passes_in_invalid_by_when_find_elements to fail.

This does not affect safaridriver because it validates the strategy argument prior to calling the atom. But this shouldn't do any harm, either.

Please write section numbers like §12.2 if possible. and mention step 4. I don't think you need to include the URL here if it's in the commit message for the change.

As long as this maps to "invalid argument", then this should be fine to reuse.

I thought about doing the same, but since the atom is already doing the check and it's actually a corner case in the end, it's simpler to let the atom handle it.

Ok. I'll have to update the web driver patch to use § too . . .

Yes, I have this in web driver:

if (errorName == "MissingParameter" || errorName == "InvalidParameter")
    m_errorCode = ErrorCode::InvalidArgument;
