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'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
I've also submitted a request to Square support and hope to hear back soon.
Steps to reproduce
Load the Square payment form (copy-pasta from https://docs.connect.squareup.com/articles/adding-payment-form/#samplewebpage and add your Application ID and uncomment the lines to submit a request to the server) in Firefox 48.0.2 (latest release as of today). Here's a test URL: https://wideningwontwork.org/test.html
Leave all fields blank.
Click "Submit Query" button.
Expectation
All fields should be highlighted in red to indicate they are required.
Observation
Firefox cannot fire the event requestCardNonce() because it is not defined. Error message in Firefox console:
ReferenceError: event is not defined
requestCardNonce() payment:121
onclick() payment:1
Form is submitted to the server with nonce = "" (empty string or NULL).
Unfortunately, we've published a bug in the documentation We're working on it. Firefox requires an event to be passed as an argument to the function, whereas chrome and safari don't. If you edit the definition of requestCardNonce that you copied from the example to instead be the following, it should work for you:
function requestCardNonce(event) {
event.preventDefault();
paymentForm.requestCardNonce();
}
Notice the event argument. That's the part you have to add. Sorry for the confusion. We'll fix the docs.
edited to include a current screenshot as of 2016-08-31 17:04:43. This is the location in the script where you need to add an event argument to the function definition, and then where you need to provide the event argument to the function call on the submit button.
Having added event in both places, using firefox, I've gotten the following with your test form:
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.
on my web application, after clicking a download button, a popup message with content "Do you want to open or save "abc.txt" from this site?" with 3 buttons ("Open", "Save" & "Cancel") will be displayed at the bottom of page.
I'm trying to close/quit this browser session with below codes:
#driver.execute_script "window.onbeforeunload = function(e){};"
#driver.quit
However, the browser is NOT (but should be) closed. I'm working with Selenium Ruby Webdriver. Please guide me a way to resolve this problem. Thanks so much.
Note that with the above codes, I'm able to close IE9 browser that has the popup message "This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave - data you have entered many not be saved" with "Leave Page" and "Stay on Page" buttons successfully. But, codes do NOT work in case the popup message with content "Do you want to open or save "abc.txt" from this site?" with 3 buttons ("Open", "Save" & "Cancel") displayed.
WebDriver has no control over these types of "Save file" dialog prompts.
Please peruse this article on this subject (note, his examples are in Java, but they can all be ported easily and with less code in Ruby). http://ardesco.lazerycode.com/index.php/2012/07/how-to-download-files-with-selenium-and-why-you-shouldnt/
Thus, I would recommend not even clicking the link in question and trying to deal with the dialog. Instead, grab the href value and initiate a Net::HTTP request to it like this SO response shows you how to do: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4581116/1221475 . You can then check the file for correct contents and such using standard Ruby and file parsers.
This is a hack by Dave Haefner. It is written for Java/Selenium combination, but you can easily convert it to Ruby syntax.
If you don't care if a file was downloaded or not and you want to confirm only that a file can be downloaded, you can use an HTTP request. Instead of downloading the file you'll receive the header information for the file which contains things like the content type and length. With this information, you can confirm the file is you expect.
String link = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("download-link-element")).getAttribute("href");
HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
HttpHead request = new HttpHead(link);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
String contentType = response.getFirstHeader("Content-Type").getValue();
int contentLength = Integer.parseInt(response.getFirstHeader("Content-Length").getValue());
assertThat(contentType, is("application/octet-stream"));
assertThat(contentLength, is(not(0)));
I have a big problem with Internet Explorer 7 and 8.
SITUATION:
I have a FORM that build a Medical Prescription. When I hit the save button, the script saves the DomainObject on DB and set a boolean property (of panel where the form is added) called "saved" to true and a byte[] property called PDF with bytestream.
On RenderHead of Panel, I read this boolean and, if is true, I force the trigger of a hidden button with this code:
String js = "$('#" + printPDF.getMarkupId() + "').click();";
response.renderOnDomReadyJavaScript(js);
The button executes this code:
ResourceStreamRequestHandler handler = new ResourceStreamRequestHandler(new ByteArrayResourceStream(pdf, "application/pdf"));
handler.setFileName("foo.pdf");
RequestCycle.get().scheduleRequestHandlerAfterCurrent(handler);
This code work perfecly on FF and Chrome. The Browser download windows appears and the user can save the PDF on HD.
Unfortunally, Internet Explorer has that damn security behavior that is triggered when a site require something to download. That warning require a user validation. A yellow Bar appear and the user is force to hit "Download".
screenshot http://imageshack.us/a/img198/1438/securityg.jpg
When I hit Download File, the form is submitted again with the exact state I had when I hit save the first time. So no previous INSERT on DB is already committed; The Session is resetted to the previous state etc...
The result is a double INSERT on DB of the Domain Ojbect.
Any clue to resolve this?
The problem is that you click download link programaticly instead to redirect browser to an URL or open an URL by JS window.open(url). Click a link looks like an unwanted operation that is sometimes restricted by browser.
