[Oliver Kišš (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQGRA-329?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12800893#comment-12800893 ] 

Oliver Kišš commented on ARQGRA-329:
------------------------------------

I think the elementary method of the validation API is {{checkValidity()}}, which could be accessed through a new {{isValid()}} method in {{GrapheneElement}}:

{code}
@FindBy(id = "email")
GrapheneElement emailInput;

//Enter an incorrect email address
emailInput.sendKeys("john.doe at gma##$9d!!!");

//See if the email address passes validation
Assert.assertFalse("Email should be recognized as invalid", emailInput.isValid());

//Or check validity of the entire form
Assert.assertFalse("Form validation should not pass", registrationForm.isValid());
{code}

[{{validationMessage}}|http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#dom-cva-validationmessage] attribute could be used in similar way (a new method in {{GrapheneElement}}):
{code}
Assert.assertFalse("Email should be recognized as invalid: " + emailInput.getValidationMessage(), emailInput.isValid());
{code}


[{{validity}}|http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#dom-cva-validity] attribute can provide more information about why validation failed, but I am not sure about the best way to use it in Graphene.
