Store windows.performance Values In Selenium IDE - selenium

This is a slight repeat of How to capture page load times in Selenium-IDE using the app.telemetry page speed monitor
However, the answer in that post does not seem to work (or doesnt anymore), possibly because the storeEval command in Selenium IDE doesnt seem to exist anymore.
I'm trying to retrieve certain windows.performance values for webpages as Selenium IDE moves through them.
I have tried:
Command 'open' > Target 'www.url.com'
Command 'store value' > Target window.performance.timing['navigationStart'] > Value 'result'
Command 'echo' > Target ${result}
But I get:
Warning implicit locators are deprecated, please change the locator to id=window.performance.timing['navigationStart']
The above doesn't work, as obviously its not an id.
Am I using the wrong Command? Or have to enter additional target details? Or can it be done at all?
Thanks!


Use execute script instead:
Command Target Value
open http://www.example.com/
execute script return window.performance.timing['navigationStart'] result
echo ${result}

PyCharm Selenium not openening Chrome, "Process finished with exit code 0" [duplicate]

I am new to PyCharm and I have 'Process finished with exit code 0' instead of getting (683, 11) as a result (please see attachment), could you guys help me out please? Much appreciate it!

That is good news! It means that there is no error with your code. You have run it right through and there is nothing wrong with it. Pycharm returns 0 when it has found no errors (plus any output you give it) and returns 1 as well as an error message when it encounters errors.
Editors and scripts do not behave like the interactive terminal, when you run a function it does not automatically show the the result. You need to actually tell it to do it yourself.
Generally you just print the results.
If you use print(data.shape) it should return what you expect with the success message Process finished with exit code 0.

exit code 0 means you code run with no error.
Let's give a error code for example(clearly in the below image): in below code, the variable lst is an empty list,
but we get the 5 member in it(which not exists), so the program throws IndexError, and exit 1 which means there is error with the code.
You can also define exit code for analysis, for example:
ERROR_USERNAME, ERROR_PASSWORD, RIGHT_CODE = 683, 11, 0
right_name, right_password = 'xy', 'xy'
name, password = 'xy', 'wrong_password'
if name != right_name:
exit(ERROR_USERNAME)
if password != right_password:
exit(ERROR_PASSWORD)
exit(RIGHT_CODE)

I would recommend you to read up onexit codes.
exit 0 means no error.
exit 1 means there is some error in your code.
This is not pyCharm or python specific. This is a very common practice in most of the programming languages. Where exit 0 means the successful execution of the program and a non zero exit code indicates an error.

Almost all the program(C++/python/java..) return 0 if it runs successful.That isn't specific to pycharm or python.
In program there is no need to invoke exit function explicitly when it runs success it invoke exit(0) by default, invoke exit(not_zero_num) when runs failed.
You can also invoke exit function with different code(num) for analysis.
You can also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_(system_call) for more details.

What worked for me when this happened was to go to
Run --> Edit Configurations --> Execution --> check the box Run with
Python Console (which was unchecked).

This means that the compilation was successful (no errors). PyCharm and command prompt (Windows OS), terminal (Ubuntu) don't work the same way. PyCharm is an editor and if you want to print something, you explicitly have to write the print statement:
print(whatever_you_want_to_print)
In your case,
print(data.shape)

I think there's no problem in your code and you could find your print results (and other outputs) in the tab 5: Debug rather than 4: Run.

I just ran into this, but couldn't even run a simple print('hello world') function.
Turns out Comodo's Firewall was stopping the script from printing. This is a pretty easy fix by deleting Python out of the Settings > Advanced > Script Analysis portion of Comodo.
Good Luck

I had same problem with yours. And I finally solve it
I see you are trying to run code "Kaggle - BreastCancer.py"
but your pycharm try to run "Breast.py" instead of your code.
(I think Breast.py only contains functions so pycharm can run without showing any result)
Check on tab [Run] which code you are trying to run.

Your starting the program's run from a different file than you have open there. In Run (alt+shift+F10), set the python file you would like to run or debug.

use output test case with other test case in input value, RIDE/robot framework

I have a probelm to use an output from a test case to use it with another test tase like input value ! did you have an idea how to do that ?

Even I have seen this issue with Ride. Sometimes ride does not save changes. Need to restart ride to see the saved changes. So, I am using ride only for development purpose and using command line to run test cases. On one window edit changes in ride and run test cases on command line.
To run single test case from command line:
python -m robot -t test_case_name test_suite_name
Hope it clears your doubt.

Selenium IDE "[error] Threw an exception: illegal character" error while using storeEval command

I am writing following test case:
COMMAND TARGET VALUE
--------------------------------------------------------------
storeXpathCount *someXpath* totalRows
store 3 i
while ${i}<=${totalRows}
storeText *someXpath* MyVersion
storeEval storedVars['MyVersion']=='103' result
gotoIf ${result}==false lebelForIf
label labelForIf
storeEval {i}+1 i
endWhile
I am getting error at the line where i have storeEval storedVars[..]
The error is "[error] Threw an exception: illegal character".
Basically i want to search a version ( i.e. 103) from column which has "totalrows" thus iterating using i, wherever the version matches I want to take some action.
If the above snippet is not proper is there any other way to write this code in Selenium IDE?

I dont think the while loops are supported in Selenium IDE directly. We have to install user extensions for this.
Refer to the following link for more info - How to use loops in Selenium IDE
Let me know if this helps you.

Zsh trouble when using echo with color/formatting characters

I'm just switch to zsh and now adapting the alias in which was printing some text (in color) along with a command.
I have been trying to use the $fg array var, but there is a side effect, all the command is printed before being executed.
The same occur if i'm just testing a echo with a color code in the terminal:
echo $fg_bold[blue] "test"
]2;echo "test" test #the test is in the right color
Why the command print itself before to do what it's supposed to do ? (I precise this doesn't happen when just printing whithout any wariable command)
Have I to set a specific option to zsh, use echo with a special parameter to get ride of that?

Execute the command first (keep its output somewhere), and then issue echo. The easiest way I can think of doing that would be:
echo $fg[red] `ls`
Edit: Ok, so your trouble is some trash before the actual output of echo. You have some funny configuration that is causing you trouble.
What to do (other than inspecting your configuration):
start a shell with zsh -f (it will skip any configuration), and then re-try the echo command: autoload colors; colors; echo $fg_bold[red] foo (this should show you that the problem is in your configuration).
Most likely your configuration defines a precmd function that gets executed before every command (which is failing in some way). Try which precmd. If that is not defined, try echo $precmd_functions (precmd_functions is an array of functions that get executed before every command). Knowing which is the code being executed would help you search for it in your configuration (which I assume you just took from someone else).
If I had to guess, I'd say you are using oh-my-zsh without knowing exactly what you turned on (which is an endless source of troubles like this).

I don't replicate your issue, which I think indicates that it's either an option (that I've set), or it's a zsh version issue:
$ echo $fg_bold[red] test
test
Because I can't replicate it, I'm sure there's an option to stop it happening for you. I do not know what that option is (I'm using heavily modified oh-my-zsh, and still haven't finished learning what all the zsh options do or are).
My suggestions:
You could try using print:
$ print $fg_bold[red] test
test
The print builtin has many more options than echo (see man zshbuiltins).
You should also:
Check what version zsh you're using.
Check what options (setopt) are enabled.
Check your ~/.zshrc (and other loaded files) to see what, if any, options and functions are being run.
This question may suggest checking what TERM you're using, but reading your question it sounds like you're only seeing this behaviour (echoing of the command after entry) when you're using aliases...?

Return code/Exit status of the WebPICmd.exe

Is there a way to detect the exist status of WebPICmd.exe (Command line version of WebPlatformInstaller), so that I can use it in my script.
I need to know if installation of particular product succeeded or not. (Trying to install PHP53, which seems to fail randomly due to download failures)

This can be detected using $LASTEXITCODE variable in PowerShell.
In dos mode it should be LASTERRORLEVEL.
Remember to check this variable immediately after running the WebPICmd.exe so that it's return code is not overwritten by something else down the line.
