I am working on this project were I need to verify that each item in list is loaded on page. However I am a bit confused how to create the xpath as the text is inside an tag.
I first need need get the element and then assert if that item is displayed. The below first line works however assertion gives an error.
WebElement costRequest = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Cost')]"));
Assert.assertEquals(true, costRequest.isDisplayed());
log.info("Verify cost request");
You should use expected conditions - wait for the element to be visible instead of what you are doing now since driver.findElement returns the web element at the moment the element exists, but still not completed so it's not yet displayed.
So do something like this:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Cost')]")));
WebElement costRequest = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Cost')]"));
Assert.assertEquals(true, costRequest.isDisplayed());
log.info("Verify cost request");

String selector = ".rmcAlertDialog .buttons :first-child";
RemoteWebElement selection = (RemoteWebElement) driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(selector));
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 60);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(selection));
if (element == selection) selection.click();
But the element in question (a button) is not responding to the click.
If I click the button manually it works so its not the web page at fault, but the automation.
I have verified the button is there by comparing it's text content.
updated for clarification
This code works (or worked) for most buttons. The code is from a script interpreter which is parsing:-
select ".rmcAlertDialog .buttons :first-child" click
This code was working prior to more recent versions of chrome/selenium/chromedriver.
The code now doesn't work for some buttons.
selection.click() IS being called (verified in a debugger), as element will always equal selection, it just is not working.
.buttons is the class name of the container div for the button(s)
The selector is not directing to the element with button class. You have a space between .button and :first-child in the selector. Remove the space. The given selector is searching for a child element of the tag with button class. But I'm assuming you are trying to click on the first element with button class not the child node of the button class element.
Use this:
String selector = ".rmcAlertDialog .buttons:first-child";
I think the main reason it's failing is because your if statement will never be true. I've never done any comparisons like this but you can simplify your code significantly and still get the desired effect.
A few suggestions:
Don't define locators as Strings, define them as Bys. The By class is defined for just such a task and makes using and passing them around MUCH easier.
String selector = ".rmcAlertDialog .buttons:first-child";
would turn into
By locator = By.cssSelector(".rmcAlertDialog .buttons:first-child");
Note the correction that S Ahmed pointed out in his answer.
You don't need to find the element to wait for it to be clickable. There is an overload that takes a By locator, use that instead.
RemoteWebElement selection = (RemoteWebElement) driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(selector));
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 60);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(selection));
becomes
WebElement element = new WebDriverWait(driver, 60).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(locator));
Skip the RemoteWebElement and WebElement comparison. I don't think this will work and there's no need for it anyway. Your locator will locate the same element consistently.
So your final code should look something like
By locator = By.cssSelector(".rmcAlertDialog .buttons:first-child");
new WebDriverWait(driver, 60).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(locator)).click();
Using firefox and marking a link in my web-app I get among other things, this code which I think I can use to caprture an object:
cb_or_somename_someothername cb_area_0219
This string is "classname" in Firebug.
Going to the script I type in:
WebElement rolle = driver.findElement(By.className("cb_or_somename_someothername cb_area_0219"));
But the script does not find the element when executing.
Other onfo in the Firebug panel is:
class="cb_or_somename_someothername cb_area_0219"
onclick="jsf.util.chain(this,event,'$(this).attr(\'disabled\', \'disabled\');return true;','mojarra.jsfcljs(document.getElementById(\'fwMainContentForm\'),{\'fwMainContentForm:j_idt156:2:selectRole \':\'fwMainContentForm:j_idt156:2:selectRole\'},\'\')');return false"
href="#"
id="fwMainContentForm:j_idt156:2:selectRole"
Is my script referring the element in a wrong way?
You cannot use search by compound class name (name with spaces). Try to use search by CSS selector instead:
WebElement rolle = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".cb_or_somename_someothername.cb_area_0219"));
or by XPath:
WebElement rolle = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#class='cb_or_somename_someothername cb_area_0219']"));
Also you still can use search by one of two class names:
WebElement rolle = driver.findElement(By.className("cb_or_somename_someothername"));
or
WebElement rolle = driver.findElement(By.className("cb_area_0219")); // Note that this class name could be generated dynamically, so each time it could has different decimal part
Update
If you get Element is not clickable... exception it seem that your element is covered by another element at the moment you try to click on it. So try to wait until this "cover" is no more visible:
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//p[#class='environtment-banner']"));
WebElement rolle = driver.findElement(By.className("cb_area_0219"));
rolle.click();
I have a button on a page that is not displayed sometimes. I would like for my code to go around it, but it won't work withdriver.findElement.isDisplayed() . I was thinking of ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable, but i don't know how to make it boolean. Some help please?(of course, the condition is returning error as it's not boolean).
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
if(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("html//body//div[5]//div//div//form//div//div[1]//div[3]//div//div//div//input")).){
WebElement ex = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#class='ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid'][#value='export'][#type='radio']"));
ex.click();
WebElement in = driver.findElement(By.xpath("html//body//div[5]//div//div//form//div//div[1]//div[3]//div//div//div//input"));
in.click();
}else{new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("html//body//div[5]//div//div//form//div//div[1]//div[3]//div//div//div//input")));}

findElement returns either element or throws NoSuchElementException, So to determine element is visible with if condition You should try using findElements instead because it's returns either list of WebElement or empty list, so you just check its size as below :-
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("your xpath"));
//Now check it size
if(elements.size() > 0 && elements.get(0).isDisplayed())
{
WebElement element = elements.get(0);
//Now do your further stuff with this element
}
I have followig HTML code and want X path for the text "Analytics & Research"
<div id="LLCompositePageContainer" class="column-wrapper">
<div id="compositePageTitleDiv">
<h1 class="page-header">Analytics & Research</h1>
</div>
I am getting following xpath using chrome, but that didnt work.
//*[#id="compositePageTitleDiv"]
this is my code
WebElement header = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='LLCompositePageContainer']/div[#id='compositePageTitleDiv']/h1[#class='page-header']"));
String header2 = header.getText();
System.out.println(header2);
and following error I am getting
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException:
Unable to find element with xpath ==
//div[#id='LLCompositePageContainer']/div[#id='compositePageTitleDiv']/h1[#class='page-header']
(WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 10.34 seconds For documentation on this
error, please visit:
http://seleniumhq.org/exceptions/no_such_element.html
Please try to use the below xpath:
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//div[#id='compositePageTitleDiv']/h1")).getText();
If the element is inside the iframe. Then use the below code:
// Switching to the frame
driver.switchTo().frame(<name>);
// Storing the value of the Analytics & Research
String text = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//div[#id='compositePageTitleDiv']/h1")).getText();
// Switching back to original window
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
Hope this helps.
This is how it can be used :
WebElement element= driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='compositePageTitleDiv']"));
Or in case it is nested, can be accessed like this as well
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//html/body/div[3]/div[3]/"));
this is just a rough syntax.
No need to use Xpath here if you could simply locate the element using By.id(). Asuming are using Java, you should try as below :-
WebElement el = drive.findElement(By.id("compositePageTitleDiv"));
String text = el.getText();
Edited :- If element not found, may it is timing issues you need to implement WebDriverWait to wait for element until visible on the page as below :-
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, implicitWait);
WebElement el = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("compositePageTitleDiv")));
String text = el.getText();
Note :- if your element is inside any frame, you need to switch that frame before finding element as :- driver.switchTo().frame("your frame name or id");
Hope it helps..:)
You can also use
//div[#id='LLCompositePageContainer']/div[#id='compositePageTitleDiv']/
h1[contains(text(),'Analytics')]
This is the best way to reach to the specific web element, using contains minimize the chances of error.
The correct xpath is
//div[#id='LLCompositePageContainer']
/div[#id='compositePageTitleDiv']
/h1[#class='page-header']
But you could have find your answer easily with some researchs on google...
I am writing a test that at some point navigates to another page. The first thing that page is will be to run a javascript that pops up a span with a message. After some seconds, that span will dissapear.
I am trying to click a link that will go below the span and chromedriver does not seem to allow that.
System.InvalidOperationException: unknown error: Element is not
clickable at point (165, 177). Other element would receive the click:
...
This is really an expected behavior and also a bit impresssive.
Can I click the link without waiting for the span to dissapear?
I have no suggestion how to click the element as long as the massage is displayed but you could skip waiting for it to disappear by removing it on your own using javascript and webDriver.executeScript:
How to make a DIV visible and invisible with JavaScript
I would suggest you to use "smart" wait that will verify that the window has disappeared.
It's implemented using WebDriverWait and ExpectedConditions.
Example in Java:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10); //timeout after 10 seconds
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(By.ByCssSelector("CSS_POP_UP_SELECTOR")));
Or, you can try to use the following script to make element visible:
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("document.getElementById('BUTTON_ELEMENT_ID').style.display='block';");
Or, to try and hide the message:
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("document.getElementById('BUTTON_ELEMENT_ID').style.display='none';");
If you want your elements to keep their size when the not visible/visible, instead of 'display' change the 'visibility':
document.getElementById('BUTTON_ELEMENT_ID').style.visibility = 'hidden';
document.getElementById('BUTTON_ELEMENT_ID').style.visibility = 'visible';
