I am doing some web automation using Selenium RC. Am new to Selenium RC and am facing problems (may be learning curve) while doing automation. I am using java with Eclipse IDE to code selenium RC.
Scenario: I have a screen with a link. while clicking, it will open a lookup window which contains lot of names (grid). Now I have to select a value from grid by directly clicking any row/record. Or I can use search option and select the record. The problems are
my recorded script is NOT responding to pop-up windows.
Is there any command for "double-click" in selenium.
#rs79 - It didn't work for me. Here is my code:
selenium.click("link=eName"); //click the link to open the lookup window
//lookup window
selenium.focus("Associate"); <br>
selenium.waitForPopUp("Associat", "20000");
selenium.selectWindow("Associat");
selenium.type("id=SearchTextBox", "xyz"); //Enter the text in search field of lookup
selenium.click("id=SearchButton"); // click search button on lookup window <br>
Please correct me if I am wrong. Appreciated if anyone give me more suggestions.
Without access to your DOM, I would recommend recording using the IDE, and adapting the right context from the recorded actions into RC. The IDE does a decent job of capturing the context for popups and modals.
After the capture, here are some gotchas:
For iFrames, change the captured frame id to a more generic (css) locator
Be wary about the difference between selectWindow() and selectFrame()
If its a popup not an popup window then you can try the firebug to locate the element or record you want.
Now copy its xpath and use it in your code.
Same problem I have faced and solved by this method as xpath from fire bug is detailed and locates the proper window.
After coping xpath please verify the path has // at starting.
Thanks
This will help to handle salesforce lookups
Iterator it = windows.iterator();
String parentwindow =(String) it.next();
String childWindow =(String) it.next();
// Switch to parent window
driver.switchTo().window(childWindow);
MiscUtils.pauseForElementToBePresent(3000L);
driver.switchTo().frame("your frame NAME/ID");
MiscUtils.pauseForElementToBePresent(3000L);
// your step to perform on child page.
driver.findElement(By.linkText("123Test")).click();
MiscUtils.pauseForElementToBePresent(3000L);
//if popup is getting close automatically switch to parent window otherwise use "driver.quit();" to close popup
driver.switchTo().window(parentwindow);
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

I wrote test in watir, and one of line doesn't work correctly:
$browser.element(:css => '#sub-15079 > div.ardbnServerInformation').click
When I click manualy on this element, browser opens new tab and everything is fine. But when watir clicks on this element, browser opens new window (instead tab) and data in window doesn't load. How to fix this difference in behaviour?
Sounds like maybe some countermeasures are being used to block the scraping efforts...some kind of javascript thing...
A surefire way to overcome these types of things is to a visual-based automation tool something like Sikuli (sikuli.org) to visually identify a link and click it. It actually uses optical recognition rather than the DOM to identify links and click them.
A more haphazard way to go about this would be to use something like cliclick to click based on screen coordinates, but this is not a very good solution in my opinion.
I'm automating tests using Selenium on Firefox, and everything was working ok until I needed to check checkboxes that are not visible due to a footer that is fixed to the bottom of the page.
It's a long list of disclaimers that are necessary to be checked in order to continue.
The first two are below this footer, the rest forces a scroll down, and are checked correctly.
My question is:
1) Is there a way to check the first two even thought they are below the footer?
2) Is there a way to make Selenium scroll down using a command?
3) Is there a way to make Selenium to open a new Firefox window maximized? (I believe that if this is possible, all checkboxes will be visible on load)
Thank you!
PS: This is my second post, if I'm missing some information please let me know and I'll edit it.
EDIT:
Firefox version: 23.0.1
Webdriver version: 2.35
Unfortunately, i have only configured my webdriver for Firefox (not on chrome at the moment)
You don't have to scroll the page as long as you are finding the Element with correct selectors (e.g. xpath, css etc.), so something like driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath")); should remove the need to scroll the page. As for opening the page in full screen use the following
driver.manage().window().maximize();
If your web page needs to be scrolled down to interact with element, first you'll have to bring that element into view. Using Ruby, this can be achieved by following:
element.location_once_scrolled_into_view
and then interact with element.
You can use javascript executor to scroll the page. I've found that Selenium will click objects that are "visible" but hidden behind something else on the page.
JavascriptExecutor jsx = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jsx.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,450)", "");
I use the capability:
capabilities.setCapability("elementScrollBehavior", 1); // 0- from Top,
// 1 - from bottom
When I start the driver, I set the capability.
This is a real 2%er but here goes, I have created a winform in VS2010 with Gecko 2.0.1-0.10 (latest release) webbrowser control, I am using a touch screen to navigate. Sometimes when clicking a hyperlink it will select text rather than navigate, on the DomMouseUp event I want to check to see if there is selected text, if so I want to see if it is a hyperlink and if it is, where that hyperlink goes to. I had a mess around with GeckoSelection but nothing looked obvious. I am looking for a way to see if what is selected within the web browser is a hyperlink, any thoughts?
I've worked it out : for anyone interested in such things, use DomFocus on the gecko control:
m_strInnerHtml = geckSel.ActiveElement.Parent.InnerHtml.ToString();
That will give you the innerhtml of the selected item, from here you can extract the href tag and get the url, navigate to it, hey presto :)
Update: An even better solution is to use (in DomFocus again)
m_strInnerHtml = geckoWebBrowser.Document.ActiveElement.GetAttribute("href");
This will return the actual hyperlink address, one thing to watch out for however is if you're on google for example and select the "Advertising" hyperlink at the bottom of the page, it may return "/advertisingpage/" which must be appended to the original url. Clicking a hyperlink away from google will return the full address however.
Very good behavior gives this call:
m_strInnerHtml = geckoWebBrowser1.Url.AbsoluteUri()
I am using WATIN Version(1.3.0)
I am in a situation that when i click on a node ,a Wizard appear. That wizard contain several controls(checkboxes,buttons and TextFields) and it has many screens(when next button is pressed , the next screen appear) but i am unable to handle it. I have apply the following techniques but failed
I have used ie.HtmlDialog but exception appear
I have grab the internal iframe (which is the main frame) but its HTMLDocument contains nothing. Where as i contain HTML when i look into it using IE8 Developer Tool
I have tried to use mshtml.HTMLDocuemntClass but failed
Wizard has url but unable to grab it by url
Unable to grab it by using ie.Form
Please HELP !!!
Thankx in Advance
Is the wizard held in an update panel or anything that is AJAX enabled? if this is then WatiN will not realise that the page has actually refreshed and will therefore not be able to find some of the elements it is looking for

I'm working with the WatiN tool. I've a scenario where i need to check a checkbox and click on an ok button in a popup window. i've used AttachtoIE method and used the URL attribute to attach to the popup window. Now the problem is that the URL contains an ID attribute, and its value changes each time the popup appears.. how can I handle this or is there any other method other than AttachtoIE? please give some suggestions.
Thank you.
You can use Find.ByUrl(neww regex("some regexe expression")) to ignore the id part. Or if you are sure that you have just one IE instance open before the popup is opened, attach to to the IE instance which has not the same URL as the browser you opened the popup from.
HTH,
