I am locating a textbox element inside shadow DOM using script(), and it works properly. Once I find the element, I want to enter a string into that box. I am trying to use input(), but since input() takes a locator and a value I am having issues using script() as a locator. Is this possible? I would appreciate any ideas or feedback on how to make this work.
Just use JavaScript (element.value) itself, it should be the simplest way:
* script('.parent', "_.shadowRoot.querySelector('input').value = 'somevalue'")

I have a div that contains a set of dynamic elements. I want to click on the first search result.
I want to click on the first element contains in
I tried using creating a custom xPath like so but it didn't work. Any ideas here?
//div[1][contains(text(), 'listing')]
First of all It would've helped if you had provided more information.
best will be using pseudo-child like div.firstChild or if the elements are generated dynamically you can add a class and use document.querySelectorAll(".class") which will give you an array of elements that had the class.
You can use array[0] to use click on the first element.
For anyone coming across this thread here is the solution
const listings = await page.$x('//*[contains(#id,"listing_")]')
I am trying to write a function in selenium to check if a Reasons dropdown is showing as disabled, but can't quite get the xpath right. The code for the dropdown is in the pic, the function I'm working on is the second one (InputDisabled), having based it on the working first one (SearchDisabled):
` public By SearchDisabled(string searchId) => By.XPath($"//div[#id='{searchId}']//div[contains(#class, 'v-input--is-disabled')]");
public By InputDisabled(string inputId) => By.XPath($"//div[#id='{inputId}']//div[contains(#class, 'v-input--is-disabled')]");`
The inputId going into it is 'ai-confirm-allergy-modal-reason'. I've tried it as 'input[contains...' and 'contains(#disabled, 'disabled'...' among other things, but my xpath knowledge isn't great yet!
dropdown code
Use below code
String value = driver.findElement(By.XPath("//input[contains(#id, 'ai-confirm-allergy')]").getAttribute("disabled");
Assert.AssertEquals(value, "disabled");
I do not quite get your question.
well if you are trying to use xpath to locate an element, you can just use the id; assuming that it is unique.so:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[contains(#id, 'ai-confirm-allergy')]")
should locate the webelement.
However, your xpath for the SearchDisabled is locating a div containing class 'v-input--is-disabled' with in another div with id of '{searchId}';
the same logic goes for the next one. your xpath is trying to locate a div containing class 'v-input--is-disabled' which is located with in another div located using input id. I don't think this combination can locate the element highlighted in the picture.
Example Image
say I wanted to select the element with class=kbkey button red_selected sel. Its xpath from the example in the pic would be //*[#id="virtualKeysWrapper"]/div[3], so I have the following code:
WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="virtualKeysWrapper"]/div[3]'))).click()
However, the div position of this element would change everytime I refresh the site. Was wondering what should I do to successfully select the element with class=kbkey button red_selected sel successfully everytime?
Avoid using index position in XPath if at all possible for this very reason. Without knowing exactly what the rest of the DOM looks like, my best guess is that you could use the following expression:
//div[#id='virtualKeysWrapper']/div[#class='kbkey button red_selected sel']
Alternatively, you could use
//div[#id='virtualKeysWrapper']/div[#sel='true']
I have various buttons and several buttons with the same name "Start". I need to click on the first found button with this name (innerHTML).
With jQuery this works with :
$('button:contains(Start):first').click()
How does it work with I.click()-Selector in CodeceptJS? I can't find the right syntax and always getting:
"invalid selector: An invalid or illegal selector was specified"
Here is the API for this function: https://github.com/Codeception/CodeceptJS/blob/master/docs/webapi/click.mustache
The only working solution I found is:
I.click('//button[1]');
But this solution is confusing, because you need to know the exactly number in the order of this element - and I have a lot of buttons with different names. Also this not allows me to search by innerHTML such as "Start".
You could use the I.executeScript like this:
I.executeScript("var elements = document.getElementsByName('Start');elements[0].click();"); or
I.executeScript("var elements =
document.querySelector(\"button[name*='Start']\");elements[0].click();");
You need using XPath for that
//button[1][contains(text(), 'Start')]
locate("//button[contains(text(), 'Start')]").first()
or
locate("//button[contains(text(), 'Start')]").at(1)
Works fine.
I want to identify an element by linktext, I am facing strange issue
If the linktext value is short i.e addFirst, addLast will be able to locate the element by using
driver.findelement(By.linktext("addLast, addFirst")).click
IF the linktext is addmanualreferraltocheckthelenghtF, addmanualreferraltocheckthelenghtF lengthy as above not able to identify the element
Please help me to find the solution
Why don't you try partial link text.
driver.findelement(By.partialLinkText("addLast, addFirst")).click
try out contains method. use the XPATH value and in XPATH use contains for link text.
EG:
.//*[contains(#Linktext, "addmanualreferraltocheckthelenghtF")]
driver.findelement(By.xpath("//*[contains(#Linktext, "addmanualreferraltocheckthelenghtF")]").click
Alternatively you can also use starts with XPATH value.
.//*[starts-with(#linktext,'addmanual')]
driver.findelement(By.xpath("
//*[starts-with(#linktext,'addmanual')]").click
Hope it helps you.
