Pass Java variable to JavascriptExecutor argument for jQuery function

Hi I am using selenium webdriver where I try to execute jQuery script by passing java variable to access valid id.

here is the code.

int move = 3;
String date = "2011-03-05";
String script = "$('#date_of_birth-'+move+).datepicker('update', '+date+')";
js.executeAsyncScript(script, 1000);


I want to use both move and date variable inside jQuery function.

After long struggles and debugging I found the solution.

here is the right way to pass java variable to jQuery function.

String script = "$('#date_of_birth-" + move + "').datepicker('update', '" + date + "')";


If you want the string concatenation to take place within Java itself, then it has to happen outside of the intended JavaScript string. What you are currently doing is to intercalate the literal strings move and date inside your JavaScript string.

move

date

String script = "$('#date_of_birth-'" + move + "').datepicker('update', '" + date + "')";


But, we can use a StringBuilder here which would make things easier to read (and possibly run faster):

StringBuilder

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("");
sb.append("$('#date_of_birth-'");
sb.append(move);
sb.append("').datepicker('update', '");
sb.append(date);
sb.append("')");
String script = sb.toString();


String script = "$('#date_of_birth-1').datepicker('update', '2018-08-15')";

Can you try below snippet in your application which may works i guess:-

Exsisting problem:
$('#date_of_birth-'3).datepicker('update', '2011-03-05');

Current solution:
$('#date_of_birth-3').datepicker('update', '2011-03-05');

snippet:
int move = 3;
String date = "2011-03-05";

String scripting = "$('#date_of_birth-" + move + "').datepicker('update', '" + date + "')";

System.out.println(scripting);

StringBuilder sb1 = new StringBuilder("");
sb1.append("$('#date_of_birth-");
sb1.append(move+"'");

sb1.append(").datepicker('update', '");
sb1.append(date);
sb1.append("')");

String script1 = sb1.toString();
System.out.println(script1);
