Facing issue with selecting an item from sap.ui.core.ListItem element

[Vikrant87-lego]

Hi All,

I am trying to select an item from sap.ui.core.ListItem control type using the visibletext but the control does not have any method to select item by visible text.

i tried to find the way to get it with UI5 as below:

this.byId("planbookfilter").getItems().find(p => p.getProperty("text").startsWith("Vikrant")).getId()

Is there a way to select the coreitem matching the visibletext just like shown above?

Regards,
Vikrant

yes, there is - UI5's select list implementation only renders the list items after the dropdown was opened.
so you'll need to first get the control (don't forget interaction: 'root'), then $wdi5Control.open() it - after that, the select list aggregation is filled and accessible.
See the full recipe over at https://ui5-community.github.io/wdi5/#/recipes?id=test-a-sapmcombobox-or-sapmmulticombobox

I tried your solution but i am getting below mentioned error:
[0-0] TypeError in "Test.Should select planbook"
TypeError: selectlist.open is not a function
at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)
[0-0] FAILED in chrome - /webapp/test/testcontrol.test.js

code:
const selector1= {
selector: {
controlType: "sap.m.SelectList",
id: "__list0",
searchOpenDialogs: true,
interaction: "root"
}

    }
    const selectlist= await browser.asControl(selector1)
    await selectlist.open()


    const aItems=await browser.asControl(selector1).getItems(true)

please check the syntax of your code, it should read

const selectlist = await browser.asControl(selector1)
await selectlist.open()
const aItems = await selectlist.getItems(true)

Still getting the same error:

"TypeError: selectlist.open is not a function
at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)

then your selector might not be correct and not retrieve the select list you're after.
have you tried debugging the step and see what you get as selectlist?
