automated tests - Get link from text input field and then open it with DalekJS -

i have issue link need traverse using dalekjs not clickable, rather copy/pastable. how can retrieve value input field in browser , use in test.open() call?

<table>     <tbody>         <tr>             <td>link 1</td>             <td><input type="text" value="http://example.com/link-1" class="start-link"></td>         </tr>         <tr>             <td>link 2</td>             <td><input type="text" value="http://example.com/link-2" class="start-link"></td>         <tr> </table> 

in example above dalekjs dynamically run test.open('http://example.com/link-1'); during progression of test.

module.exports = {      'a test case': function (test) {         test.open('http://example.com/example-from-above.html')         .open('http://example.com/link-1')  //this link i'm trying retrieve dynamically.         .screenshot('image.png')         .done();     } } 

how can accomplish this?

dalekjs not allow reading values of html element synchronously , using them in test scripts. if need interact content of testing page, execute method may help.

you can try setting window location function "executed in browser":

module.exports = {      'a test case': function (test) {         test.open('http://example.com/example-from-above.html')         // open url first input element value         .execute(function () {             var input = document.queryselectorall('.start-link')[0];             location = input.value;         })         // wait until browser opens page         .waitfor(function () {             return location.pathname.indexof('link-1') > 0;         })         .screenshot('image.png')         .done();     } }
