Selenium--The error message is: table.rows[row] is undefined

Question

Please see the below example. Whenever I use the i counter in the row then I see the below error message:

ERROR: Command execution failure. Please search the forum at http://clearspace.openqa.org for error details from the log window. The error message is: table.rows[row] is undefined

public static String verifyLinkedSubmissions(String articleTitle){
  int rowCount=0;
  String trueString="Submission is found";
  String falseString="Submission is NOT found";
  rowCount=browser.getXpathCount("//TABLE[@id='LinkedWithRepeater']/TBODY/TR").intValue();

  for(int i=1; i<=rowCount; i++){
    String val=selenium.getTable("LinkedWithRepeater."+i+".4");
      if (val.equals(articleTitle)){
        log.info("Title name "+articleTitle+" is found");
        return trueString;
      }
  }

  log.error("Title name: "+articleTitle+" is NOT found in the Linked Submissions");
  return falseString;
}

If I hard code the row number then the script runs smooth. But I want to search for the particular articleTitle in case and verify it is present in the table or not.

The help is appreciated.

Thanks Aparna

The problem here is the row and column reference in the getTable command must start at 0. You need to change your for loop so that it starts at 0 as follows:

for(int i=0; i<rowCount; i++) {
  String val=selenium.getTable("LinkedWithRepeater."+i+".4");
  if (val.equals(articleTitle)){
    log.info("Title name "+articleTitle+" is found");
    return trueString;
  }
}

Note that you may also need to change your column reference to 3 if you have not taken into account starting from 0.

Also, in your code sample you use both browser and selenium when using Selenium API commands. I assume this is a copy/paste mistake, but you may want to double check that.

See http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-core/1.0/reference.html#storeTable for details of the xTable commands.
