In my test I land on a page with a RoundContainer. When the test loads the page, the container can be either in an expanded or a collapsed state. The container uses an image to toggle the state of the container. If it's in an expanded state, it will have an image element where the src=minus.gif. If it's in a collapsed state, it will have an image element where the src=plus.gif.
What I need the test to do is, if the container is collapsed when the page is loaded then expand the container by clicking on the image element (plus.gif). The problem is, if I target that element (plus.gif) and the test runs where the page loads the container in an expanded state, then the test will fail because it can't find the image element where src=plus.gif.
What are my possible solutions?

Hi Scott,
This is pretty easy to handle actually. Start by adding a test step "Verify element exists" where src=plus.gif. Now use this Verify step as the condition of a logical IF/ELSE block. When you run the test if Test Studio can find src=plus.gif it will execute he IF block which should have the steps to click the Plus symbol thus expanding the item. Otherwise the ELSE block will execute which can be empty, i.e. do nothing.

Ok, that was my thought pattern also. Before I created this forum thread, I designed my test with that logic built in but it failed when it could not find "plus.gif".
After your reply, I re-wrote the test logic again from scratch and the test is now performing (and passing) as expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong the first time.
Thanks for your help. I have marked this thread as answered.
