Checking if scale item with canvas label is selected

[guy]

Hello,

I am trying to put together a test where subjects must select the option from a scale. There is a “right answer” that subjects must select. Each scale’s label is a canvas comprising text and a button. How do I test whether the right option is selected? This isn’t working:

newScale('pltest', "0", "1", "2")
        .vertical()
        .radio()
        .label(0, getCanvas('pl_0_can'))
        .label(1, getCanvas('pl_1_can'))
        .label(2, getCanvas('pl_2_can'))
        .labelsPosition("right")
        .settings.center()
        .print()
        .wait(getScale('pltest').test.selected(getCanvas('pl_0_can'))

Thank you!

Hello,

When you set an option’s label using a reference to a PennController element, you can test the selected value by using that element’s name. As a consequence, you’ll want to make sure that when multiple labels refer to PennController elements, the elements have different names (which they do, in your case). So you can do this:

newScale('pltest', "0", "1", "2")
    .vertical()
    .radio()
    .label(0, getCanvas('pl_0_can'))
    .label(1, getCanvas('pl_1_can'))
    .label(2, getCanvas('pl_2_can'))
    .labelsPosition("right")
    .settings.center()
    .print()
    .wait(getScale('pltest').test.selected("pl_0_can"))
