Using WWW::Mechanize, I've try to find link with text_regex => qr/Next/ and follow the link with success, but I'm having problem with the link that look like this:
"< img alt="" src="images/pager-spacer.gif" >
< input type="submit" class="link-btn" id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_phSearchHeader_pgrTop_btnNext" onclick="javascript:suppressPopUp();" value="Next" name="ctl00$ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$phSearchHeader$pgrTop$btnNext> < img alt="" src="images/gtn.gif"> "
How do I find and follow link like that.
Thank you.
Did you try to just submit the form since the input type is submit, $mech->submit(); should work

You are trying to run xpath values by comparing them.
You want to compare whether there are comments or not.
<div class="media-body">
<a href="https://url" class="ellipsis">
<span class="pull-right count orangered">
+26 </span>
post title </a>
<div class="media-info ellipsis">
admin <i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i> date </div>
</div>
If there is a comment, span class="full-right count or changed" is generated. If you don't have it, it won't be produced.
xpath comment //*[#id="thema_wrapper"]/div[3]/div/div/div[3]/div/div[7]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/a/span
xpath nocomment //*[#id="thema_wrapper"]/div[3]/div/div/div[3]/div/div[7]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/a/
I think we can compare this with if,else,but I don't know how.
if
#nocomment start
else
#comment stop
I searched a lot for the data, but I couldn't find it. Please help me.
Here's an XPath example to select/click on something without comment. This website seems to use the same system as your sample data :
http://cineaste.co.kr/
To select the entries with no comment for the movies block ("영화이야기"), just use :
//h3[.="영화이야기"]/following::div[#class="widget-small-box"][1]//li[#class="ellipsis"][not(contains(.,"+"))]
We verify the presence of the "+" in the li node to filter the data.
Oh, it's the same system. I tested it and there was an error.
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//h3[.='영화이야기']/following::div[#class='widget-small-box'][1]//li[#class='ellipsis'][not(contains(.,'+'))]"}

postclick.click()
driver.close()
Could you make an example with the site? I want to ignore the posts with comments and just click the ones without comments.
The context is I'm using watir-webdriver and I need to locate if an image appears prior to a particular item in a list.
More specifically, there is a section of the site that has articles uploaded to them. Those articles appear in a list. The structure looks like this:
<div id="article-resources"
<ul class="components">
...
<li>
<div class="component">
<img src="some/path/article.png">
<div class="replies">
<label>Replies</label>
</div>
<div class="subject">
Saving the Day
</div>
</div>
</li>
...
</ul>
</div>
Each article appears as a separate li item. (The ellipses above are just meant to indicate I can have lots of liste items.)
What I want our automation to do is find out if the article has been appropriately given the image article.png. The trick is I need to make sure the actual article -- in the above case, "Saving the Day" -- has the image next to it. I can't just check for the image because there will be multiples.
So I figured I had to use xpath to solve this. Using Firefox to help look at the xpath gave me this:
id("article-resources")/x:ul/x:li[2]/x:div/x:img
That does me no good, though, because the key discriminator seems to be the li[2], but I can't count on this article always being the second in the list.
So I tried this:
article_image = '//div[#class="component"]/a[contains(.,"Saving the Day")]/../img'
#browser.image(:xpath => article_image).exist?.should be_true
The output I get is:
expected: true value
got: false (RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError)
So it's not finding the image which likely means I'm doing something wrong since I'm certain the test is on the correct page.
My thinking was I could use the above to get any link (a) tags in the div area referenced as class "component". Check if the link has the text and then "back up" one level to see if an image is there.
I'm not even checking the exact image, which I probably should be. I'm just checking if there's an image at all.
So I guess my questions are:
What am I doing wrong with my XPath?
Is this even the best way to solve this problem?
Using Watir
There are a couple of approaches possible.
One way would be find the link, go up to the component div and then check for the image:
browser.link(:text => 'Saving the Day').parent.parent.image.present?
or
browser.div(:class => 'subject', :text => 'Saving the Day').parent.image.present?
Another approach, which is a little more robust to changes, is to find the component div that contains the link:
browser.divs(:class => 'component').find { |component|
component.div(:class => 'subject', :text => 'Saving the Day').exists?
}.image.present?
Using XPath
The above could of course be done through xpath as well.
Here is your corrected xpath:
article_image = '//div[#class="component"]//a[contains(.,"Saving the Day")]/../../img'
puts browser.image(:xpath => article_image).present?
Or alternatively:
article_image = '//a[contains(.,"Saving the Day")]/../../img'
browser.image(:xpath => article_image).present?
Again, there is also the top down approach:
article_image = '//div[#class="component"][//a[contains(.,"Saving the Day")]]/img'
browser.image(:xpath => article_image).present?
You can read more about these approaches and other options in the book Watirways.
Is it possible to return a map of hidden links using watir? I have been trying to find some useful documentation, but have been most unsuccessful.
I need it to be generic enough to return any link thats hidden on page regardless of class, id, etc
style=display: none;
This currently returns me all visible links
full_list = #driver.links.map{|a| a.href}
i'd like to do something like (my syntax is probably way off):
hidden_list = #driver.hiddens.map{:style, a => 'display: none;'}
Please, please let me know if there is a way!
Thanks!
You could find all the links that are not visible? and collect their href attributes:
For example, given the following html:
asdf
<a style="display:none;" href="somewhere/invisible">asdf</a>
<a style="display:none;" href="somewhere/invisible2">asdf</a>
You can do:
hidden_list = #driver.links.find_all{ |a| !a.visible? }.collect(&:href)
#=> ["somewhere/invisible", "somewhere/invisible2"]
Using XPath, how do I determine if a node is within a form tag? I guess I am trying to locate the form tag of its ancestor/preceding (but I couldn't get it to work).
example 1:
<form id="doNotKnowIDofForm">
<div id="level1">
<span id="mySpan">someText</span>
</div>
</form>
example 2:
<form id="doNotKnowIDofForm">
This is a closed form.
</form>
<div id="level1">
<span id="mySpan">someText</span>
</div>
</form>
I can use xpath "//span[id='mySpan']" to locate the span node. But I would like to know if mySpan is inside a form (I do not know the id of the form). I have tried "//span[id='mySpan']/preceding::form/" and "//span[id='mySpan']/ancestor::form/"
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I would like the XPath to select the myForm form tag in Example1 but NOT in Example2
I'm not 100% sure from your description whether you're looking to select the form element, or the span element. It seems more likely that you're going for the form, so I'll address that first.
Your XPath with the ancestor::form would have been ok if it didn't have the slash at the end, but it's more roundabout than it needs to be. I think this is a better way:
//form[.//span/#id = 'mySpan']
or this:
//form[descendant::span/#id = 'mySpan']
To produce an XPath that locates certain nodes only if they are within a form, you would put the ancestor::form inside the predicate:
//span[#id = 'mySpan' and ancestor::form]
or you can do this, which would again be more straightforward:
//form//span[#id = 'mySpan']
Your own attempt
//span[id='mySpan']/ancestor::form/
looks fine to me.
You can simply use,
"form//span[id='mySpan']"
I am using Watir to write some tests for a web application. I need to get the text 'Bishop' from the HTML below but can't figure out how to do it.
<div id="dnn_ctr353_Main_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl07_Field_048b9dfa-bc64-42e4-8bd5-b45385e5f45b_view" style="display: block;">
<div class="workprolabel wpFieldLabel">
<span title="Please select a courtesy title from the list.">Title</span> <span class="validationIndicator wpValidationText"></span>
</div>
<span class="wpFieldViewContent" id="dnn_ctr353_Main_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl07_Field_048b9dfa-bc64-42e4-8bd5-b45385e5f45b_view_value"><p class="wpFieldValue ">Bishop</p></span>
</div>
Firebug tells me the xpath is:
html/body/form/div[5]/div[6]/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/span/span/div[2]/div[4]/div[1]/span[1]/div[2]/span/p/text()
but I cant format the element_by_xpath to pick it up.
You should be able to access the paragraph right away if it's unique:
my_p = browser.p(:class, "wpFieldValue ")
my_text = my_p.text
See HTML Elements Supported by Watir
Try
//span[#id='dnn_ctr353_Main_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl07_Field_048b9dfa-bc64-42e4-8bd5b45385e5f45b_view_value']//text()
EDIT:
Maybe this will work
path = "//span[#id='dnn_ctr353_Main_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl07_Field_048b9dfa-bc64-42e4-8bd5b45385e5f45b_view_value']/p";
ie.element_by_xpath(path).text
And check if the span's id is constant
Maybe you have an extra space in the end of the name?
<p class="wpFieldValue ">
Try one of these (worked for me, please notice trailing space after wpFieldValue in the first example):
browser.p(:class => "wpFieldValue ").text
#=> "Bishop"
browser.span(:id => "dnn_ctr353_Main_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl07_Field_048b9dfa-bc64-42e4-8bd5-b45385e5f45b_view_value").text
#=> "Bishop"
It seems in run time THE DIV style changing NONE to BLOCK.
So in this case we need to collect the text (Entire source or DIV Source) and will collect the value from the text
For Example :
text=ie.text
particular_div=text.scan(%r{div id="dnn_ctr353_Main_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl07_Field_048b9dfa-bc64-42e4-8bd5-b45385e5f45b_view" style="display: block;(.*)</span></div>}im).flatten.to_s
particular_div.scan(%r{ <p class="wpFieldValue ">(.*)</p> }im).flatten.to_s
The above code is the sample one will solve your problem.
