So im writing a framework in pure selenium-webdriver and am curious what the proper way to assert text exists (Such as in an alert message for instance on an invalid login for example). Specifically with RSpec.
I can think of two ways that comes to mind. Doing something like so:
text_to_check = driver.find_element(locator).text and then doing something like expect(text_to_check).to be("Bad Login text") The locator in this case would probably be xpath or css locator I guess? Although I feel like xpath would probably make more sense (Im not super familiar with xpath tbh though)
Use the driver.page_source() and then check against that....but that seems brittle if that text exists somewhere else on the page. Also it seems unnecessary to do that and pull in the whole page source to check what is essentially one element.
String expected = “abc.com;
String actualURL= “abc.com”;
Assert.assertEquals(expected, actualURL);
message – Message to be displayed in case of an Assertion Error.
condition – Condition against which the assertion needs to be applied.
Assert.assertTrue(“Assert True test message”, true);

I'm generating an XML report, using the JDF standard for PDFs going into a printing workflow.
There are 3 "DPart" sections, and I can use an xPath query to recognize them, but I want to grab the "Separation" attribute of each "cip4:Part". I can also get a query to find that, but it does not distinguish between the multiple "DPart"s.
<DPart End="0" ID="0003" ParentRef="0002" Start="0">
<DPM>
<cip4:Root>
<cip4:Intent cip4:ProductType="ProductPart"/>
<cip4:Production>
<cip4:Resource>
<cip4:Part Separation="K1"/>
<cip4:Color cip4:ActualColorName="Black" cip4:ColorType="Normal">
</cip4:Resource>
<cip4:Resource>
<cip4:Part Separation="S1"/>**
<cip4:Color cip4:ActualColorName="Dieline" cip4:ColorType="Normal">
</cip4:Resource>
<cip4:Resource>
<cip4:ColorantControl ColorantOrder="K1 S1" ColorantParams="K1 S1"/>
</cip4:Resource>
<cip4:Resource>
<eg:InkCoverage>
<eg:InkCov eg:Mm2="0.000000" eg:Pct="0.000000" eg:Separation="K1"/>
<eg:InkCov eg:Mm2="182.337538" eg:Pct="0.721209" eg:Separation="S1"/>
</eg:InkCoverage>
</cip4:Resource>
</cip4:Production>
</cip4:Root>
</DPM>
</DPart>
I want to do something like:
/DPM[2]/*[name ()='cip4:Part'], but it's not working.
I'm in a low-code pre-press environment (Esko Automation Engine), but the system gives me tools to parse an xPath, and throw some JavaScript at it.
There are at least three reasons your XPath selects nothing:
DPM is not an immediate child of the root node
There is only one DPM, so DPM[2] won't select anything
There is no child of a DPM whose name is cip4:Part.
You also say in the narrative that there are three DPart's, which implies that DPart is not actually the outermost element as it appears to be in your sample. This makes it difficult to provide the correct XPath. However, you might be able to make a start with
(//DPM)[2]//*[name()='cip4:Part']
Currently, I am able to parse a website with Nokogiri and grab specific elements from pages. However, I need to be able to grab a specific string such as "Out of stock" that is visible to the user:
page.text.match('Out of stock')
That works fine for grabbing the correct string and returning true or false if the string is or isn't there, however, some links like the following, return true even if the item is not out of stock because that specific string is hidden in a script tag on the page:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Funyuns-Onion-Flavored-Rings-6-oz/36915849?athcpid=36915849&athpgid=athenaItemPage&athcgid=null&athznid=PWSFM&athieid=v0&athstid=CS020&athguid=ba634528-888-172187cc96a580&athancid=null&athena=true
I am looking for a way so that that string is pulled if and only if it is visible to users so the above should return false for matching the "Out of stock" string, while the link below should return true (at time of posting), because the item is actually out of stock.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/4-Pack-Chesters-Flamin-Hot-Popcorn-4-25-oz/737202470?selected=true
I am also aware that I could grab the specific tag that contains the string, but I need to monitor hundreds of websites so the solution has to be a broad search for a visible string.
short answer: we can use xpath syntax for this with more specific.
long story:
I strongly recommend to put more specific with css-classes, coz, in some of the cases we can get this text not only in "script tag" but also by media query or in item-preview blocks or whatever, and handle common cases as big chunks, but not to force to use one specific solution for all cases, in case of unexpected behavior
so we need to be more specific and use the "target-tags" to handle it, for example:
Nokogiri::HTML.parse(page.html).xpath("//*[contains(#class, 'prod-PriceSection')]//*[contains(#class, 'prod-ProductOffer-oosMsg')]").text
"Out of stock"
so, "to monitor hundreds of websites" we can going with this approach:
xpath("//*[contains(#class, 'PriceSection')]").text
or even better to use something like this to be sure that element is surly visible:
page.all("//body//*[contains(text(), 'Out of stock')]", visible: true).count
# => 1
if the usage of one more request (in previous solution) by Capybara may become a problem, we can follow with this solution, it's much faster:
xpath("//body//*[not(self::script) and contains(text(), 'Out of stock')]").count
I hope it's help
My current issue is to find HTML-Tags inside of property values. I thought it would be easy to search with a query like /jcr:root/content/xgermany//*[jcr:contains(., '<strong>')] order by #jcr:score
It looks like there is a problem with the chars < and > because this query finds everything which has strong in it's property. It finds <strong>Some Text</strong> but also This is a strong man.
Also the Query Builder API didn't helped me.
Is there a possibility to solve it with a XPath or SQL Query or do I have to iterate through the whole content?
I don't fully understand why it finds This is a strong man as a result for '<strong>', but it sounds like the unexpected behavior comes from the "simple search-engine syntax" for the second argument to jcr:contains(). Apparently the < > are just being ignored as "meaningless" punctuation.
You could try quoting the search term:
/jcr:root/content/xgermany//*[jcr:contains(., '"<strong>"')]
though you may have to tweak that if your whole XPath expression is enclosed in double quotes.
Of course this will not be very robust even if it works, since you're trying to find HTML elements by searching for fixed strings, instead of actually parsing the HTML.
If you have an specific jcr:primaryType and the targeted properties you can do something like this
select * from nt:unstructured where text like '%<strong>%'
I tested it , but you need to know the properties you are intererested in.
This is jcr-sql syntax
Start using predicates like a champ this way all of this will make sense to you!
HTML Encode <strong>
HTML Decimal <strong>
Query builder is your friend:
Predicates: (like a CHAMP!)
path=/content/geometrixx
type=nt:unstructured
property=text
property.operation=like
property.value=%<strong>%
Have go here:
http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/search/content/querydebug.html?charset=UTF-8&query=path%3D%2Fcontent%2Fgeometrixx%0D%0Atype%3Dnt%3Aunstructured%0D%0Aproperty%3Dtext%0D%0Aproperty.operation%3Dlike%0D%0Aproperty.value%3D%25%3Cstrong%3E%25
Predicates: (like a CHAMP!)
path=/content/geometrixx
type=nt:unstructured
property=text
property.operation=like
property.value=%<strong>%
Have a go here:
http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/search/content/querydebug.html?charset=UTF-8&query=path%3D%2Fcontent%2Fgeometrixx%0D%0Atype%3Dnt%3Aunstructured%0D%0Aproperty%3Dtext%0D%0Aproperty.operation%3Dlike%0D%0Aproperty.value%3D%25%26lt%3Bstrong%26gt%3B%25
XPath:
/jcr:root/content/geometrixx//element(*, nt:unstructured)
[
jcr:like(#text, '%<strong>%')
]
SQL2 (already covered... NASTY YUK..)
SELECT * FROM [nt:unstructured] AS s WHERE ISDESCENDANTNODE([/content/geometrixx]) and text like '%<strong>%'
Although I'm sure it's entirely possible with a string of predicates, it's possibly heading down the wrong route. Ideally it would be better to parse the HTML when it is stored or published.
The required information would be stored on simple properties on the node in question. The query will then be a lot simpler with just a property = value query, than lots of overly complex query syntax.
It will probably be faster too.
So if you read in your HTML with something like HTMLClient and then parse it with a OSGI service, that can accurately save these properties for you. Every time the HTML is changed the process would update these properties as necessary. Just some thoughts if your SQL is getting too much.
I am using the page object Gem with Watir. During testing I found that I have a field that has the same contents that show in the same location but have separate unique ID's. The difference is before you get to the page.
I tried using Xpaths:
select_list(:selectionSpecial, :xpath => "//select[#id='t_id9' OR #id='t_id7']")
But was met with a script error.
They are static ID's but I want to force them into one variable since that would allow me to use "populate_page_with" feature.
I have a long winded way currently, but I am fishing for a more efficient way that works with the page object Features.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Your approach of using xpath can work. The problem is the syntax errors in the xpath selector. It should be:
"//select[#id='t_id9' or #id='t_id7']"
Note:
The start should be a // rather than a \
Using or is case-sensitive; it has to be lower case
There was also a missing closing ' for the first id attribute
Personally, I find css and xpath selectors harder to use. I would go with the id locator with a regex. The following gives the same results, but some will find it easier to read.
select_list(:selectionSpecial, :id => /^t_id(7|9)$/)
I am coding with Groovy, however, I don't believe its a language specific set of questions.
I actually have two questions
First Question
I've run into an issue while using HtmlUnit. It is telling me that what I am trying to grab is null.
The page I'm testing it on is:
http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/applications/psbrushes/?order=9&offset=0#/dbwam4
My code:
client = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX_3)
client.javaScriptEnabled = false
page = client.getPage(url)
//coming up as null
title = page.getByXPath("//html/body/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/h1/a")
println title
This simply prints out: []
Is this because the page uses onclick()? If so, how would I get around that? Enabling javascript creates a mess in my cmd prompt.
Second Question
I am wanting to also get the image but am having trouble because when I attempt to get the XPath (via firebug) it shows up as: //*[#id="gmi-ResViewSizer_img"]
How do I handle that?
First Answer:
/html/body/div[3]/div/div[3]/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/h1/a
Your XPATH was off by one in the predicate filter for the 4th div of the body, it should be the 3rd div. It appears the HTML for the site can/does change from when you had origionally snagged the XPATH using Firebug. You may need to adjust your XPATH to accommodate for potential change and be less sensitive to some differences in document structure.
Maybe something like this:
/html/body//div/h1/a
Second Answer: The XPATH that you listed will work. It may look odd/short(and may not be the most efficient), but // starts at the root node and looks throughout every node in the tree, * matches on any element(to include the img) and the [] predicate filter restricts it to those that have an id attribute who's value equals "gmi-ResViewSizer_img".
There are many other options for XPATHs that could work as well. It will also depend on how often the HTML structure changes. This is one that also works for the page referenced to select that img:
/html/body/div/div/div/div/img[1]
I had the same problem, I solved when I realize iframe tags on page, try call
((HtmlPage)current_page.getFrames()[n].getEnclosedPage()).getElementByXPath(...
where n is the position in frame in iframe collection. It's work for me !!!
Thanks a lot.
