This one is bugging me. The same xpath is waited for and found. Then i attempt to click it and get an error. Code as below
Wait Until Element Is visible xpath=//*[#id="content"]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/h3/a/i[1]
Click Link xpath=//*[#id="content"]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/h3/a/i[1]
Error here
ValueError: Element locator 'xpath=//*[#id="content"]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/h3/a/i[1]' did not match any elements.
I know for sure by going in manually that the xpath is there. Something funny about the way Robot does this perhaps?
Click link will actually look for a link attribute (a=) but your locator is not an 'a' attribute.
Try 'Click Element' instead of 'Click Link'
I Want to find out xpath of login button from attached screenshots.
I have tried
Wait Until Page Contains Element xpath=//android.view.View[#content-desc='Login']
This return successful for finding element
but it does not click with below line of code
Click Element xpath=//android.view.View[#content-desc='Login']
Maybe you need to check if element is available, for example with:
Wait Until Element Is Visible xpath=//android.view.View[#content-desc='Login']
Or
Wait Until Element Is Enabled xpath=//android.view.View[#content-desc='Login']
I have attached screenshot after performing above steps.please check...
I am trying to automate tests in Ruby using the latest Watir-Webdriver 0.9.1, Selenium-Webdriver 2.53.0 and Chrome extension 2.21. However the website that I am testing has static headers at the top or sometimes static footers at the bottom. Hence since Watir auto-scrolls an element into view before clicking, the elements get hidden under the static header or the static footer. I do not want to set desired_capabitlites (ElementScrollBehavior) to 1 or 0 as the websites I am testing can have both - static header or static footer or both.
Hence the question are:
1) Why does Watir throw an exception Element not clickable even when the element is visible and present? See ruby code ( I have picked a random company website for an example) and the results below.
2) How can I resolve this without resorting to ElementScrollBehaviour?
Ruby code:
require 'watir-webdriver'
browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
begin
# Step 1
browser.goto "shop.coles.com.au/online/mobile/national"
# Step 2 - click on 'Full Website' link at the bottom
link = browser.link(text: "Full website")
#check if link exists, present and visible?
puts link.exists?
puts link.present?
puts link.visible?
#click on link
link.click
rescue => e
puts e.inspect
ensure
sleep 5
end
puts browser.url
browser.close
Result:
$ ruby link_not_clickable.rb
true
true
true
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (460, 1295). Other element would receive the click: div class="shoppingFooter"...div

thanks!
You can do a click at any element without getting it visible. Check this out:
link.fire_event('click')
BUT It is very very very not good decision as far as it will click the element even if it is not actually visible or in case when it is just impossible to click it (because of broken sticky footer for example).
That's why much better to wait the fooler, scroll the page and then click like:
browser.div(id: "footerMessageArea").wait_until_present
browser.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
link.click
The sticky footer is blocking webdriver from performing the click, hence the message that says 'other element would receive the click'.
There are several different ways you can get around this.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page before the click
Hide/Delete the sticky footer before any/all link clicks
Focus on an element below the element you want to click before you perform the click
I Guess your element is visible in the screen.
Before clicking on the element first you have to scroll the webpage so that element is visible then perform the click. Hope it should work.
I had similar issue,
I just used following javascript code with watir:
link = browser.link(text: "Full website")
#browser.execute_script("arguments[0].focus(); arguments[0].click();", link)
Sometimes I have to use .click! which i believe is the fire_event equivalent. Basically something is layered weird, and you just have to go around the front end mess.
First of all... I red everything I could and tried everything I found!!
With the following gems installed in WinXp:
Watir-webdriver 0.6.10 |
selenium-webdriver 2.42.0 |
Firefox 30
I have a type="button", inside an input tag element, which I'm sure it exists in the browser (returns true to exists?), but that it's not visible to watir (returns false to visible? or present?), despite being visible to the user.
I've tried the .hover, .fire_event "onmouseover", .click and fire_event("onclick") approaches and none solved the problem.
With the first I get a native event problem whether I disable native events in firefox, as suggested in watir webdriver website, or not.
b.div(:class, "buttons btnGuardarCancelar").button(:id, "guardar").hover
b.div(:class, "buttons btnGuardarCancelar").button(:id, "guardar").when_present.click
With the second I get a true answer, but nothing happens, even with a wait_until_present or when_present after that command.
b.div(:class, "buttons btnGuardarCancelar").button(:id, "guardar").fire_event("onmouseover")
b.div(:class, "buttons btnGuardarCancelar").button(:id, "guardar").when_present.click
With the third I get a timeout, saying the element is not visible.
b.div(:class, "buttons btnGuardarCancelar").button(:id, "guardar").when_present.click
And with the last one it fires some other onclick event, but not the one associated with the button I indicate.
b.div(:class, "buttons btnGuardarCancelar").button(:id, "guardar").fire_event("onclick")
Also tried xpath with the following:
b.element(:xpath, "//input[#id='guardar']").when_present.click
and
b.button(:xpath, "//input[#id='guardar']").when_present.click
the code is what follows:
<div class="buttons btnGuardarCancelar" name="">
<input id="cancelar" class="formButton margingleft" type="button" value="Cancelar" onclick="openUserServiceConfigMenu(1);" tabindex="12"></input>
<input id="guardar" class="formButton margingleft" type="button" value="Guardar" name="guardar" onclick="sendForm();" tabindex="12"></input>
</div>
The behaviour is the same for both buttons. I don't know what to do more, to get this working. Important to say that I have no control over the website.
add-ons:
1) it works when interacted directly by a human user.
2) it also doesn't work via irb.
3) i don't need the click any other buttons to access this button.
Edited:
Just tried:
b.element(:css, "div.buttons.btnGuardarCancelar > input[name=guardar]").click
Received the following error:
[remote server] file:///D:/DOCUME~1/p056988/LOCALS~1/Temp/webdriver-profile20140
708-5676-32980a/extensions/fxdriver#googlecode.com/components/command_processor.
js:8791:5:in `fxdriver.preconditions.visible': Element is not currently visible
and so may not be interacted with (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::ElementNotVisible
Error)...
Well, found my answer... tried to answer yesterday, but since my rep is still low I couldn't until 8 hours after I posted.
After digging deep in the website code, using the Firefox built-in inspector, I found the issue ...
It seems that there are some other buttons in the same page, with the same identifiers - html just like the one I was trying to address -, but they are hidden and so watir-webdriver tries to click the first it gets in the html page code and it gets a not visible error.
I managed to solve the problem by editing the button parents to be more specific, starting with the first "present?==true" element in the path.
b.td(:class, "tab_user_service_options").div.div.div.div(:class, "buttons btnGuardarCancelar").button(:id, "guardar").click
Thanks for all your kind answers.
Cheers.
Sometimes the .click doesn't work. There are many different factors that could cause this and that really depends on the implementation of your application. Utilize the OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions.Actions class to simulate the user movements instead of executing a click event on an element.
OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions.Actions actions = new OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions.Actions(driver);
actions.MoveToElement([IWebElementGoesHere]).Perform();
actions.click().Perform();
This will move the mouse to the desired location and then click it. Based on your previous comments you are able to find the web element so it should function to move the mouse and click there. There is also an actions.click([IWebElementGoesHere]).Perform(); which I have found also usually works, but if it doesn't then you can use the move and then click.
Depending on your application you might have to move your mouse and wait before clicking if there is some behind the scenes actions that take place...but that totally depends on the implementation of your application.
The element you are trying to 'click' is most likely being 'covered' by another element (possibly a 'span' element). The element will return 'exists?' but is not 'clickable', "because another element would receive the click"
On the site I'm currently testing the UI guy will use a 'span' to stylize the elements on the page. So where it looks like i'm clicking on a 'button' element, in actuality I'm clicking on the span that is on top of the button element.
I would suggest using Selenium IDE and recording the flow, it should give you some clues as to the element you can use in your script.
As per the documentation of Watir, it first check whether element exists(Returns whether this element actually exists), and which doesn't check element is visible or not. So before performing any action,it is necessary that element should be visible.
def click
assert_exists
assert_enabled
#element.click
run_checkers
end
I generally check for presence for element and then check whether element is preset or not. If not use, wait_until_present and then perform any desired action.
browser.element(:css => locator).wait_until_present
browser.element(:css => locator}").click
Try out this and revert if this works for you!
I am trying to retrieve, modify, and reinsert some text in a pop up dialog using watir web-driver. All was going swimmingly until I tried to find a way to click the "Save Book Info" button pictured here: http://i.stack.imgur.com/pGdln.png
However I am unable to find the button. To access the pop up box I gather all the links with the correct name into an array:
#browser.imgs.each do |img| #The links are imgs
if img.title.include?('Edit/Delete Book')
#books << img
end
end
From there I can access the links with #books[index].click. I am able to access and edit the text_fields with:
url = #browser.text_field(:name=>'url').value
... do stuff with url ..
#browser.text_field(:name=>'url').set url
But when I try and find the "Close" button I only get the buttons that are on the main page. After many headaches I managed to find the title of the window I want to work with using #browser.div(:class=>'dijitDialogTitleBar').title, which returns "Edit Book". Success! No. I still can't figure out how to access the buttons on that popup!
If anyone could help me with this I would be most grateful. This is my first time using Watir so it's probably a simple answer...
If more information is needed I'd be happy to supply it. Thanks in advance.
EDIT
Here is the html for the button:
<span id="dijit_form_Button_2_label"
class="dijitReset dijitInline dijitButtonText"
dojoattachpoint="containerNode">Save Book Info</span>
It looks like you have a span tag that is styled to be looked like a button. You need to access it is a span instead of a button.
Try:
#browser.span(:text => 'Save Book Info').click
