So I have been experimenting with Watir automation scripts using Ruby. I have tried to experiment with different websites, like Twitter, Gmail, and Yahoo. Here is the catch: I am able to open a browser, login, and get to the home page. On all of these whether it is compose a new email or tweet every time I select it with the appropriate ID or Class, it throws an error in the terminal like this...
.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/gems/watir-webdriver-0.8.0/lib/watir-webdriver/elements/element.rb:533:in assert_element_found': unable to locate element, using {:title=>"compose", :tag_name=>"button"} (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)
from /Users/xxx/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/gems/watir-webdriver-0.8.0/lib/watir-webdriver/elements/element.rb:505:inassert_exists'
from /Users/xxx/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/gems/watir-webdriver-0.8.0/lib/watir-webdriver/elements/element.rb:114:in click'
from yahoo_mail.rb:18:incompose_email'
from yahoo_mail.rb:27:in `'
My question is, are there elements that you simply cannot click or select using Watir automation?
EDIT: How would I be able to hit this to be more specific? I seem to be getting the same results on Yahoo, Gmail, and Twitter when it comes to composing anything after getting logged in. So I how would I hit this button?
button id="global-new-tweet-button" type="button" class="js-global-new-tweet js-tooltip btn primary-btn tweet-btn js-dynamic-tooltip" data-placement="bottom" data-component-term="new_tweet_button">
The HTML for the Compose button is basically the following (NOTE: id attribute removed):
<button tabindex="0" data-action="compose" title="Compose" class="btn btn-compose">
Your stacktrace indicates that you're using this locator:
{:title=>"compose", :tag_name=>"button"}
If you change :title=>"compose" to :title=>"Compose", you should be in business.
Have you tried the following code?
button(id:'global-new-tweet-button').when_present.click
Maybe you were clicking the button without checking if it is already present on the page.

I am trying to pull in product images in a dom-repeat template, but am getting 404 errors for missing resources showing up in the console.log. I would like to clean up the log with more legitimate errors.
<template is="dom-repeat" items="" index-as="index">
<lazy-image class="center"
placeholder="/images/placeholder.png"
src="https://www.images.com/[[formatImg(item.id)]].png"
style="width: 24pt; height: 24pt;">
</lazy-image>
</template>
...
formatImg(id) {
if(typeof id != 'null') return id.replace(' ', '%20');
}
I've seen some documentation on on-error events, but am not seeing a straight forward path to implement them into the Polymer framework.
Is there a way to handle these GET requests so they don't get logged?
Short answer:
Sadly, no.
It's not a "can't do it in Polymer" thing. At the time of writing, handling 404s to prevent a console error is not possible at all from the developer's point of view.
Longer answer:
AFAICT there is no way for a web developer to prevent a 404 from being logged by a browser as an error. If a browser is asked "get this thing please" or even "hey can you check if this is a thing?" and the answer is "that's not a thing", it is up to the browser what it does with that information. Right now, what it does (welp, Chrome anyway - I haven't researched what the others do) is "log an error to the console". Always. No matter what.
You can (as the end user) turn that behavior off in your browser. But you can NOT (as a developer) "catch" the error and handle it to keep the browser happy. Even if you DO handle the error and give the browser something that exists instead of the 404-causing resource, it will STILL be logged in the console as an error:
<!-- STILL CAUSES A 404 ERROR TO BE LOGGED TO THE CONSOLE -->
<img id="myimg" src="imagethatdoesntexist.gif" onerror="this.onerror=null;this.src='imagethatexists.gif';">

Unable to click on OK button
I tried like this but it is not clicking.
b.find_element(name: "OK").click #----> it is not clicking
How to interact with this type of pop-us in ruby.
<input class="copybutton" type="button" title="Copy" onclick="copyErrText()" name="copy" value=""/>
<!-- *** Added: copy button *** -->
<button class="button" onclick="disp()" name="OK" value="OK" type="button">OK</button>
You can try one of the following it may help you.
ele = find_element(name: "OK")
driver.action.move_to(ele).click(ele).perform
or
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();",ele)
or
driver.execute_script("disp();")
You've tagged this Watir, but your syntax is Selenium. If you are using Watir, it would look like this:
browser.button(name: 'OK').click
If there are funky javascript things going on, you can fire an event to interact with it. Use this power sparingly.
browser.button(name: 'OK').fire_event :click
Hope this helps.

I'm implementing an invisible reCAPTCHA as per the instructions in the documentation: reCAPTCHA V2 documentation
I've managed to implement it without any problems. But, what I'd like to know is whether I can simulate being a robot for testing purposes?
Is there a way to force the reCAPTCHA to respond as if it thought I was a robot?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
In the Dev Tools, open Settings, then Devices, add a custom device with any name and user agent equal to Googlebot/2.1.
Finally, in Device Mode, at the left of the top bar, choose the device (the default is Responsive).
You can test the captcha in https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo?invisible=true
(This is a demo of the Invisible Recaptcha. You can remove the url invisible parameter to test with the captcha button)
You can use a Chrome Plugin like Modify Headers and Add a user-agent like Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html).
For Firefox, if you don't want to install any add-ons, you can easily manually change the user agent :
Enter about:config into the URL box and hit return;
Search for “useragent” (one word), just to check what is already there;
Create a new string (right-click somewhere in the window) titled (i.e. new
preference) “general.useragent.override”, and with string value
"Googlebot/2.1" (or any other you want to test with).
I tried this with Recaptcha v3, and it indeed returns a score of 0.1
And don't forget to remove this line from about:config when done testing !
I found this method here (it is an Apple OS article, but the Firefox method also works for Windows) : http://osxdaily.com/2013/01/16/change-user-agent-chrome-safari-firefox/
I find that if you click on the reCaptcha logo rather than the text box, it tends to fail.
This is because bots detect clickable hitboxes, and since the checkbox is an image, as well as the "I'm not a robot" text, and bots can't process images as text properly, but they CAN process clickable hitboxes, which the reCaptcha tells them to click, it just doesn't tell them where.
Click as far away from the checkbox as possible while keeping your mouse cursor in the reCaptcha. You will then most likely fail it. ( it will just bring up the thing where you have to identify the pictures).
The pictures are on there because like I said, bots can't process images and recognize things like cars.
yes it is possible to force fail a recaptcha v2 for testing purposes.
there are two ways to do that
First way :
you need to have firefox browser for that just make a simple form request
and then wait for response and after getting response click on refresh button firefox will prompt a box saying that " To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. " then click on "resend"
by doing this browser will send previous " g-recaptcha-response " key and this will fail your recaptcha.
Second way
you can make any simple post request by any application like in linux you can use curl to make post request.
just make sure that you specify all your form filed and also header for request and most important thing POST one field name as " g-recaptcha-response " and give any random value to this field
Just completing the answer of Rafael, follow how to use the plugin
None of proposed answers worked for me. I just wrote a simple Node.js script which opens a browser window with a page. ReCaptcha detects automated browser and shows the challenge. The script is below:
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
let testReCaptcha = async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('http://yourpage.com');
};
testReCaptcha();
Don't forget to install puppeteer by running npm i puppeteer and change yourpage.com to your page address
During a page's "dormant" state, I can inspect the values of any tag by entering its id in Chrome Dev Tools' console tab, like so, e.g. for a tag with the name "BeginDate":
0) Enter "BeginDate" in the console tab
1) Mash the key
...and I see the whole shebang:
<input alt="date-us" data-val="true" data-val-regex="End Date must be in the format "m/d/yyyy"" data-val-regex-pattern="[0-9]*[0-9]/[0-9]*[0-9]/[0-9]{4}" data-val-required="End Date must be in the format "m/d/yyyy"" id="EndDate" name="EndDate" style="width: 164px;" type="text" value="5/14/2013" class="hasDatepicker">
So it shows the value, which is the part I'm interested in, is today's date.
What I want to inspect, though, is just what is being passed/posted when the form's Submit button is pressed; I believe this would be, in asp.net, the contents of the Request object, but how can I see these vals using Chrome Dev Tools?
I right-clicked in the console and selected "Log XMLHTTPRequests" and "Preserve log upon navigation" but...are they logged? If so, where are they? I see nothing in the Console tab...
UPDATE
Thanks to David Ziemann, here's what I see:
The Network tab will show you any network communication. Within that you can select the request and view the headers which should include the form data.
I'd like to extend my WatiN automated tests to drive a page that guards against the user accidentally leaving the page without saving changes.
The page uses the "beforeunload" technique to seek confirmation from the user:
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function (event) {
if (confirmationRequired) {
return "Sure??";
}
});
My WatIn test is driving the page using IE. I cannot find a way to get WatIn to attach to the popup dialog so I can control it from my test.
All the following have failed (where the hard-coded strings refer to strings that I can see on the popup):
Browser.AttachTo<IE>(Find.ByTitle("Windows Internet Explorer");
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindByTitle("Windows Internet Explorer));
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindByTitle("Are you sure you want to leave this page?));
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindFirst());
Thanks!
You'll need to create and add the dialog handler.
Example Go to example site, click link, click leave page on confirmation dialog:
IE browser = new IE();
browser.GoTo("http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/onbeforeunload.htm");
WatiN.Core.DialogHandlers.ReturnDialogHandlerIe9 myHandler = new WatiN.Core.DialogHandlers.ReturnDialogHandlerIe9();
browser.AddDialogHandler(myHandler);
browser.Link(Find.ByUrl("http://www.microsoft.com")).ClickNoWait();
myHandler.WaitUntilExists();
myHandler.OKButton.Click();
browser.RemoveDialogHandler(myHandler);
The above is working on WatiN2.1, IE9, Win7. If using IE8 or before, you will likely need to use the ReturnDialogHandler object instead of the Ie9 specific handler
