In Firefox browser developer tool console, I type var a = libraryform.firstname
It returns the firstname value entered by user for that form.
I am new to protractor and selenium. How can I call library.firstname in protractor to get the value of fistname?
Use Javascript Executor to execute the javascript which you able to get them working in developer console against your application.
For e.g.,
this returns web-element which retrieved through javascript executed in browser.
var element = browser.executeScript("document.getElementById('identifier1')");
Refer this page for more examples
If this single line returns required value in browser console, then the protractor code should be some thing like this,
var name = browser.executeScript('return libraryform.firstname')
If you need too many lines of js, you can specify with semicolon separated,
var name = browser.executeScript("var element=$('.dropdown-toggle').eq(0); return element.text();")

I've tried several functions but none seems to be working? For example:
element, _ := webdriver.FindElement(selenium.ByCSSSelector, "body")
element.SendKeys(selenium.ControlKey + "t")
Selenium is capable of executing javascript within the browser.
To open a new tab get selenium to run the following:
window.open()
I've not used Selenium & Go before - so I can't comment on the syntax. However it's normally along the lines of driver.ExecuteScript("window.open()"). See if your IDE will help you plug the gap.
After you get a new tab, you typically need to use the .switchTo in order to move selenium to another tab.

Docs suggest....
// ExecuteScript executes a script.
ExecuteScript(script string, args []interface{}) (interface{}, error)

Kindly help.
i have created a runnable jar for my Selenium webDriver suite. now i have to test this in multiple environment( QA , Demo box, Dev ). But my manager doesnt what it to be hard coded like below
driver.get(baseUrl)
As the baseURl will change according to the need. My script is given to the build team. So all they will do in the command prompt is
java -jar myproject-1.0.1.jar
So my manager has asked me to send the baseUrl as a command line argument so that build team do not have to go to my script and manually change the baseUrl. They should be able to change the URL every time they run the script from the command line itself. Something like this
java -jar myproject-1.0.1.jar "http://10.68.14.248:8080/BDA/homePage.html"
Can somebody please guide me through this. Is it possible to send command line arguments to Selenium Web Driver driver.get(baseUrl)
Thanks in advance
From your question above I recon you want pass URL at runtime, means your URL changes time to time so beside hardcoded URL , you want pass at the time your automation code runs. So, let me give you 2 simple solutions.
You can send URL dynamically or at Run time by using javascript executor:
try{
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
js.executeScript("var pr=prompt('Enter your URL please:',''); alert(pr);");
Thread.sleep(15000L);
String URL = driver.switchTo().alert().getText();
driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
driver.get(URL);
}catch(Throwable e)
{
System.out.println("failed");
}
Use this code in place of driver.get(); , so that a prompt box will appear when you run your code and within 15 secs or it will throw a error(you can change the time in Thread.Sleep) you will give the current Valid URL and hit Enter, the navigation will go to the URL. So that you can use different URL for same set of testscripts.
By using Scanner Class:
String url = "";
System.out.println("Enter the URL :");
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
url = s.next();
s.close();
By using this you can give needed URL in your Console (If you are using Eclipse).
I recommend try Javascript excutor in your code and then create a runnable jar file and just run the Jar file, you will know and it will be the better solution than commandline URL passing . Let me know :)
Another way is to supply arguments this way -Durl=foobar.com and extract them in runtime like this
String URL= System.getProperty("url")
If I have a single spec that is using page object model, how do I run multiple browser instance for that same spec?
For example I have spec:
it('should run multi browser', function() {
browser.get('http://example.com/searchPage');
var b2 = browser.forkNewDriverInstance();
b2.get('http://example.com/searchPage');
var b3 = browser.forkNewDriverInstance();
b3.get('http://example.com/searchPage');
SearchPage.searchButton.click();
b2.SearchPage.searchButton.click(); //fails here
b3.SearchPage.searchButton.click();
});
How do I reuse vars declared in the SearchPage page object for the other browser instances?
This is a really interesting question that is not covered in Using Multiple Browsers in the Same Test or in the interaction_spec.js.
The problem with page objects is that page object fields are usually defined with a globally available element or browser which in your case would always point to the first browser instance. But you basically need to call element() using a specific browser:
b2.element(by.id('searchInput'));
instead of just:
element(by.id('searchInput'));
FYI, element is just a shortcut for browser.element.
I am really not sure whether this is a reliable solution and would actually work, but you can redefine global element this way. Think about it as switching the search context to different browser instances:
SearchPage.searchButton.click();
global.element = b2.element;
SearchPage.searchButton.click();
global.element = b3.element;
SearchPage.searchButton.click();
global.element = browser.element;
My program is having trouble getting an existing class from a webpage using Selenium. It seems that my WebDriver.execute_script function is not working.
import urllib
from selenium import webdriver
#Path to the chromedriver is definitely working fine.
path_to_chromedriver = 'C:\Users\Ben\Desktop\Coding\FreeFoodFinder\chromedriver.exe'
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = path_to_chromedriver)
url = 'http://www.maidservicetexas.com/'
browser.implicitly_wait(30)
browser.get(url)
content = browser.execute_script("document.getElementsByClassName('content')");
#Just printing the first character of the returned content's toString for now. Don't want the whole thing yet.
#Only ever prints 'N', the first letter of 'None'...so obviously it isn't finding the jsgenerated content even after waiting.
print content
My program returns 'None,' which tells me that the javascript function is not returning a value/being executed. Chrome's web dev tools tell me that 'content' is certainly a valid class name. The webpage isn't even dynamically generated (my eventual goal is to scrape dynamic content, which is why I make my WebDriver wait for 30 seconds before running the script.)
Return the value:
content = browser.execute_script("return document.getElementsByClassName('content');");
I'm running tests with protractor, but it seems impossible to access the JS 'window' object. I even tried adding a tag in my html file that would contain something like
var a = window.location;
and then try expect(a) but I couldn't make it work, I always get undefined references...
How should I process to access variables that are in the browser scope ?
Assuming you are using a recent version of Protractor, let's say >= 1.1.0, hopefully >= 1.3.1
Attempting to access Browser side JS code directly from Protractor won't work because Protractor runs in NodeJS and every Browser side code is executed through Selenium JsonWireProtocol.
Without further detail, a working example:
browser.get('https://angularjs.org/');
One-liner promise that, as of today, resolves to '1.3.0-rc.3'
browser.executeScript('return window.angular.version.full;');
You can use it directly in an expect statement given Protractor's expect resolves promises for you:
expect(browser.executeScript('return window.angular.version.full;')).
toEqual('1.3.0-rc.3');
Longer example passing a function instead of a string plus without expect resolving the promise for you. i.e. for more control and for doing some fancy thing with the result.
browser.driver.executeScript(function() {
return window.angular.version.full;
}).then(function(result) {
console.log('NodeJS-side console log result: ' + result);
//=> NodeJS-side console log result: 1.3.0-rc.3
});
