For my acceptance testing I'm writing text into the auto complete extender and I need to click on the populated list.
In order to populate the list I have to use AppendText instead of TypeText, otherwise the textbox looses focus before the list is populated.
Now my problem is when I try to click on the populated list. I've tried searching the UL element and clicking on it; but it's not firing the click event on the list.
Then I tried to search the list by tagname and value:
Element element = Browser.Element(Find.By("tagname", "li") && Find.ByValue("lookupString"));
but it's not finding it, has anyone been able to do what I'm trying to do?
The shorter version of that is:
string lookupString = "string in list";
Element list = Browser.Element("li", Find.ByText(new Regex(lookupString)));
list.MouseDown();
Regexs will do a partial match so you don't need to specify .* either side and use string.Format. This assumes however that the lookupString doesn't contain any characters special to Regexs, they'd need to be escaped.
In case someone has the same problem. It works with the next code:
string lookupString = "string in list";
Regex lookup = new Regex(string.Format(".*{0}.*", lookupString));
Element list = Browser.Element("li", Find.ByText(lookup));
list.MouseDown();

Say I am on StackOverFlow "All Questions" page.
I want to search for a user say "user2402616" (which is present on 3rd page) on first page.
If not present then click on next button until it is found.
I tried below code using Xpath but getting error.
boolean bPres = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'user2402616')]")).isDisplayed();
System.out.println(bPres);
while (!bPres) {
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'next')]")).click();
}
Since the xpath has text in both the cases i.e for clicking on the user and the next button . You can use the By.linkText method and pass in the value which you want to click
boolean bPres = driver.findElement(By.linkText("user2402616")).isDisplayed();
System.out.println(bPres);
while (!bPres) {
driver.findElement(By.xpath("next").click();
}
I'm using selenium webdriver with ruby. I've written a script that will fill in a form. One field is a dropdown list. What I would like to do is capture the value I selected in the list.
For example: If I had a list of cars and I selected Honda I would like to capture the value in the field (Honda) and place it in a variable for me to use later.
I hope I'm making sense.
You can use below code select list items:
cars_select = driver.find_element(:id=> "cars_list")
//use id of your dropdownlist
options = cars_select.find_elements(:tag_name=>"option")
options.each do |el|
if (el.value == "Honda")
el.select()
var selected_car = el.value;
break
end
end
If you are selecting from dropdown with:
browser.select_list(id: 'some_id').option(text: 'some_value').select
Then you can store that value in a variable, like below:
var1=browser.select_list(id: 'some_id').option(text: 'some_value').value
Hope this will work. If not, then provide your dropdown part html, and explain more. I am using watir-webdriver, try if this work for selenium-webdriver.
I have a webpage whose DOM structure I do not know...but i know the text which i need to find in that particular webpage..so in order to get its xpath what i do is :
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(webpage)
doc.traverse { |node|
if node.text?
if node.content == "my text"
path << node.path
end
end
}
puts path
now suppose i get an output like ::
html/body/div[4]/div[8]/div/div[38]/div/p/text()
so that later on when i access this webpage again i can do this ::
doc.xpath("#{path[0]}")
instead of traversing the whole DOM tree everytime i want the text
I want to do some further processing , for that i need to know which of the element nodes in the above xpath output have attributes associated with them and what are their attribute values. how would i achieve that? the output that i want is
#=> output desired
{ p => p_attr_value , div => div_attr_value , div[38] => div[38]_attr_value.....so on }
I am not facing the problem in searching the nodes where "my text" lies.. I wanted to have the full xpath of "my text" node..thts why i did the whole traversal...now after finding the full xpath i want the attributes associated with the each element node that I came across while getting to the "my text" node
constraints are ::I cant use any of the developer tools available in a web browser
PS :: I am newbie in ruby and nokogiri..
To select all attributes of an element that is selected using the XPath expression someExpr, you need to evaluate a new XPath expression:
someExpr/#*
where someExpr must be substituted with the real XPath expression used to select the particular element.
This selects all attributes of all (we assume that's just one) elements that are selected by the Xpath expression someExpr
For example, if the element we want is selected by:
/a/b/c
then all of its attributes are selected by:
/a/b/c/#*
I am trying to click an element that changes per each order like so
edit_div_123
edit_div_124
edit_div_xxx
xxx = any three numbers
I have tried using regex like so:
#driver.find_element(:css, "#edit_order_#{\d*} > div.submit > button[name=\"commit\"]").click
#driver.find_element(:xpath, "//*[(#id = "edit_order_#{\d*}")]//button").click
Is this possible? Any other ways of doing this?
You cannot use Regexp, like the other answers have indicated.
Instead, you can use a nifty CSS Selector trick:
#driver.find_element(:css, "[id^=\"edit_order_\"] > div.submit > button[name=\"commit\"]").click
Using:
^= indicates to find the element with the value beginning with your criteria.
*= says the criteria should be found anywhere within the element's value
$= indicates to find the element with with your criteria at the end of the value.
~= allows you to find the element based on a single criteria when the actual value has multiple space-seperated list of values.
Take a look at http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/the-30-css-selectors-you-must-memorize/ for some more info on other neat CSS tricks you should add to your utility belt!
You have no provided any html fragment that you are working on. Hence my answer is just based on the limited inputs provided your question.
I don't think WebDriver APIs support regex for locating elements. However, you can achieve what you want using just plain XPath as follows:
//*[starts-with(#id, 'edit_div_')]//button
Explanation: Above xpath will try to search all <button> nodes present under all elements whose id attribute starts with string edit_div_
In short, you can use starts-with() xpath function in order to match element with id format as edit_div_ followed by any number of characters
No, you can not.
But you should do something like this:
function hasClass(element, className) {
var re = new RegExp('(?:^|\\s+)' + className + '(?:\\s+|$)');
return re.test(element.className);
}
This worked for me
#driver.find_element(:xpath, "//a[contains(#href, 'person')]").click
How can i select Ajax Dropdown suggestion list item using selenium code for firefox??
My problem is :the Ajax dropdown list is visible but it is not selected and next steps gets stuck.
May be selenium is waiting for something.
the list that page populates is dynamic and in bla bla tags.
Please help with a example code.
How can i use waitfor* here.
Remember i am not using firefox ide but i am writing a code.
Please help.
I had a similar problem whereby, selenium was able to find the dropdown menu but was unable to click on the visible text. I later found out that there was an Ajax call that was populating the dropdown menu data and as a result selenium seemed to not be able to select the intended visible text because the list items had not been fully populated. That is, by the time the script was selecting my option value, Ajax had not completely loaded the menu options. Here's my solution:
public void nameOfCollegeList(String optionItem) {
// declare the dropdownMenu web element
WebElement dropDownMenu = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#CollegeNames"));
// click on the dropdownMenu element to initiate Ajax call
dropDownMenu.click();
// keep checking the drop down menu item list until you find the desired text that indicates that the menu has
// been fully loaded. In this example I always expect "Other (please specify)" to be the last item in the drop down menu.
// If I don't find the expected last item in the list in my if condition, execute the else condition by calling the
// same method(recursively). Please note that if the "if" statement is never satisfied then you'll end up with an
// infinite loop.
if (dropDownMenu.getText().contains("Other (please specify)")) {
new Select(dropDownMenu).selectByVisibleText(optionItem);
}
else {
nameOfCollegeList(optionItem);
}
}
i am little confused with your question at " :the Ajax dropdown list is visible but it is not selected "
this sounds like that the element is disabled. (Java coding)
if so selenium.isElementDisabled()
if not then,
1) programming laguage solution using while loop and isElementPresent() OR isElementDisabled()
//trigger the Ajax request and then
long initialTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
do{
thread.sleep(1000);
}while((!selenium.isElementPresent("AjaxElement")) && (System.getCurrentTimeMillis() - initialTime <= 5000)) ;
//some thing like above for client programming solution...but for,
2) selenium's inbuilt solution
we have a method called waitForCondition("java script to be executed", "time out value");
this method loops the javascript statement until it returns true or the supplied time out occurs
here the important thing is analyzing the application/Ajax element to find out which particular condition of the element changes.
from your explation my guess is this, display=none will be changed to display=block OR
disabled=true will be changed to disabled=false OR isReadOnly will be changed to no such attribute ect.....(you need to figure out this)
and then, use this attribute = value to build a javascript function as ,
selenium.waitForCondition("window.document.getElementById('AJAX ELEMENT').disabled == 'false'", "3000");
you can work out the above statement however you want in your programming language.
try {
//do the action which triggers the Ajax call
selenium.waitForCondition("window.document.getElementById('AJAX ELEMENT[drop down element]').disabled == 'false'", "3000");
//OR
selenium.waitForCondition("window.document.getElementById('AJAX ELEMENT').disabled == 'false'", "3000");
}
catch(SeleniumException se)
{
if((se.getMessage()).toLowerCase().contains("timed out")
throw //..some a custom exception however your organisation requires
}
selenium.select("drop down element id", "option id");
and so on.....
