The application is made with JSF. I recorded the script with JMeter proxy, it works well, but the number in the id for some fields change after a day, so I need to find a way to extract and pass the correct one.
I don't know well how to use Regex, so I will really appreciate any help.
Thank you.
Parameters and values that I need to generate random Image
This is the div in the HTML with the id I need to generate random Div
<div id="solicitudSteps:j_idt75" class="ui-wizard ui-widget" style="width: 100%;">
EDIT
This is the Css Selector I'm using
This is what returns when I test with the Css Selector Tester
It looks like these dynamic values are coming from the previous response as hidden inputs so it is the matter of correlation, you can extract these dynamic input names along with the values using i.e. CSS Selector Extractor as
Add CSS Selector Extractor as a child of the previous request and configure it to extract hiddens input names
Add one more CSS Selector Extractor to get hidden inputs values:
Add JSR223 PreProcessor as a child of the request where you need to provide dynamic inputs and put the following code into "Script" area:
1.upto(vars.get('hiddenInputName_matchNr') as int, { index ->
sampler.addArgument(vars.get('hiddenInputName_' + index), vars.get('hiddenInputValue_' + index))
})
So the overall test plan structure would look like:
That's it, JMeter should extract all the dynamic inputs from the previous response and add them to the current request automatically.

I'm looping from a diferents urls trying to get some information from some movies
I'm trying to get the writers. I am not extracting each csselector because perhaps in some other movie there is not the same number of scriptwriters and it would give an error. For this reason I want to extract the elements that are bound to the tag. For example I want to get all the elements of the tag "a" (image attached)
I have the following code but it's not working:
driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME,"a")
I don't know if there is any other way without using tag
url movie = "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7740496/?ref_=watch_fanfav_tt_t_4"
I think you are using python. Try to use one of this methods:
driver.find_elements_by_xpath('(//span[contains(text(),"Guión")])[1]/../div//a')
driver.find_elements(By.XPATH,'(//span[contains(text(),"Guión")])[1]/../div//a')
Check selenium documentation: Locating Elements
My result with java code it returns 3 elements as you want.
enter image description here
I wrote code below
let browseButton = await Selector('input').withAttribute('id', 'card_image_1583116662160_11.707407693474106');
await t
.click(Selector('.fa.fa-image'))
// upload img
.setFilesToUpload(browseButton,'../../artifacts/uploads/boba.jpg')
but the result is
1) The specified selector does not match any element in the DOM tree.
| Selector('input')
> | .withAttribute('id', 'card_image_1583116662160_11.707407693474106')
It looks like you are trying to use a dynamic ID in your Selector. In this case you should create your Selector based on CSS classes or other non-dynamic attributes. Please refer to this documentation section: https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors/.
The following example may be also useful: https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-examples/blob/master/examples/element-properties/check-element-markup.js. The example shows how to access DOM properties and verify them with assertions (you can "debug" each level of the Selector hierarchy).
Please let me know if anything remains unclear.
UPDATE: Select Elements With Dynamic IDs
UPDATE 2: RegExp example - Selector('input').withAttribute('id', /card_image_\w+/)
I was testing my website using RF. The problem is, every time the modal is opened, a different id(locator) will be set on the textbox that I want to input my text. How do you get value of this locator?
I was supposed to try Get Element Attribute but then it cannot support my problem since it still requires a specific locator.
In ROBOT Framework (RF), the locator can be accessed by several ways. Please refer and read this link: http://robotframework.org/Selenium2Library/Selenium2Library.html
The most common way to access the locator is by id such as :
Input Text id:username # Element with id 'username'.
Input Text id:password # Element with id 'password'. you can also use 'Input Password' keyword.
However, if the 'id' element is so dynamic which it keep changing, then the best alternative is to use either ABSOLUTE XPATH expression or CSS selectors. Install the XPATH add-on in your web browser. For firefox, just install ChroPath.
Then, get the ABSOLUTE Xpath element of that username & password text box. Let's assume we know the absolute xpath expression already, so in ROBOT, you can write like below.
${login_absolute_xpath}= Set Variable xpath=/html[1]//div[7]/form[1]/div[1]/input[1]
${password_absolute_xpath}= Set Variable xpath=/html[1]//div[7]/form[1]/div[2]/input[1]
Wait Until Page Contains Element xpath=${login_absolute_xpath}
Input Text xpath=${login_absolute_xpath}
Input Text xpath=${password_absolute_xpath}
...
This should works. Please let me know if this helps.
I'm running the following Behat scenario:
Then I should see "Testing body" in the "strong" element
for the following HTML snippet:
<strong>Testing body</strong>
However I am getting an error:
The text "Testing body" was not found in the text of the element matching css "strong"
What is the best way to check if element contains below tags?
<em>Testing body</em>
<ol><li>Testing body</li>
</ol>
<ul><li>Testing body</li>
</ul>
I am trying to use wysiwyg.feature with syntax:
Then I should see "Testing body" in the "<Element>" element with the "<Property>" CSS property set to "<Value>" in the "Pearson Content" region
Make sure the selector used is unique.
Depending on the method used you might need id|name|label|value or css selector.
I your case the selector used is too general, you need to narrow the section by adding an extra element in front of this to tell him to search in a smaller section.
For example: #myid strong -> will search strong in the element that has the id myid
Same thing for the other elements, you could have ol>li or ul>li, but if more elements are found you will need to add an extra selector in front to narrow the section.
Always check the CSS manually in the browser and make sure is unique or the element that you need is found first.
If you want to check for an element that contains some text, you could use XPath like this:
//strong[contains(text(), 'Testing body')]
You can also use a css if you can identify this section as I said above, but I need more from the html, a large section in order to get a better selector.
The following method may help:
/**
* #Given I should see :text in the :tag element
*/
public function iShouldSeeInTheElement($text, $tag) {
$this->verifyElementByXpath("//${tag}[contains(text(), '${text}')]");
}
Instead of contains, you can also use starts-with and other.
Note: I haven't tested it, so please suggest improvements if you do.
I'm trying to select an element given by:
/html/body[#id='someid']/form[#id='formid']/div[#id='someid2']/div[#id='']/div[#id='']/div[#id='']/table/tbody[#id='tableid']/tr[7]/td[2]
Now the html of that row I'm trying to select looks like this:
<tr>
<td class="someClass">some text</td>
<td class="someClass2">my required text for verifying</td>
</tr>
I need to check whether my required text for verifying exists in the page.
I used selenium.isTextPresent("my required text for verifying"); and it doesnt work
So now I tried with selenium.isElementPresent("//td[contains(text(),'my required text for verifying')]")
This works sometimes but occassionally gives random failures.
Tried with selenium.isElementPresent(//*[contains(text(),'my required text for verifying')]) too..
How do I verify this text on the page using selenium?
The problem is not with the page taking time to load. I took screenshots before the failure occurs and found that the page was fully loaded so that shouldnt be the problem.
Could someone please suggest any way to select this element or any way to validate this text on the screen?
Try locating it by CSS:
assertText(selenium.getText("css=.someClass2"), "my required text for verifying");
The above should give a better failure message than isElementPresent, but you can still use that with CSS locators:
assertTrue(selenium.isElementPresent("css=.someClass2"));
If there is an issue with the load times you could try waiting for the element to be present:
selenium.waitForCondition("var value = selenium.isElementPresent('css=.someClass2'); value == true", "60000");
Some other XPath locators that might work for you, if you prefer not to use CSS locators:
//td[contains(#class, 'someClass2')
xpath=id('tableid')/tr[7]/td[2]
xpath=id('tableid')/descendant::td[contains(#class, 'someClass2')][7]
I've never heard of selenium; but your initial XPath is unnecessarily fragile and verbose.
If an element has an id, it's unique; using such a long XPath just to select a particular element is unnecessary; just select the last element with the id. Further, I see that you're occasionally selecting xyz[#id=''] - if you're trying to select elements without id attributes, you can do `xyz[not(#id)] instead.
Assuming your initial XPath is basically correct, it would suffice to do something like this:
//tbody[#id='tableid']/tr[7]/td[2]
However, using a specific row and column number like that is asking for trouble if ever anyhow changes details of the html. Also, it's atypical to have id's on tbody elements, perhaps the table element has the id?
Finally, you may be running into space-normalization issues. In xml, multiple consecutive spaces are often considered equivalent to a single space, and you're not accounting for that. In particular, if the xhtml is pretty-printed and contains a line-break in the middle of your sought-after text, it won't work.
//td[contains(normalize-space(text()),'my required text for verifying')]
Finally, text() explicitly selects
child text nodes - so the above xpath won't select elements where the text isn't the immediate child of td (e.g. <td><b>my required text for verifying</b></td>) won't match. Perhaps you mean to look up the concatenated text vale of all descendents:
//td[contains(normalize-space(string(.)),'my required text for verifying')]
Finally, type conversion can be implicit in XPath, so string(.) can be replaced by . in the above, leading to the version:
//td[contains(normalize-space(.),'my required text for verifying')]
This may be slow on large documents since it needs to normalize the spaces and perform a string search for each td element. If you run into perf problems, try to be more specific about which td elements need to be inspected, or, if you don't care where the text occurs, try to reduce the number of "calls" to normalize-space by normalizing the entire doc in one go (e.g. via /*[contains(normalize-space(.),'my required text for verifying')]).
