locator for not-databaound Menu

Hello, I just noticed that for a not databound menu, as the first in this sample: https://www-demos.smartclient.com/sm...id=treeBinding

the locator doesn't contain the title for the menuItem, ie it's like:

//Menu[level=0]/body/row[0]/col[fieldName=title||1]

I'm pretty sure that before it was using the title, is it possible to configure the old behaviour?

Hi Claudio
The fact that the menu item name is missing from the locator in this case is not a recent change - you can see the same behavior in 12.1: https://smartclient.com/smartclient-...id=treeBinding

We do agree that this is a case where the locators would be more robust if the item name was included, instead of relying on row-index. We'll queue this up to get looked at (and we'll be sure to maintain back compat, so index based locators that are already recorded in test cases will continue to work)

No ETA for this one yet, but we'll follow up on this thread when we have more information for you.
