I'm using BrowserFactory in selenium and not WebDriver. I would like to check if an element is present on the DOM. If yes click it, otherwise do something else. There should be a simple solution to it but I'm not using WebDriver. If I do use it, it opens a new browser window and does everything in that.
Can you try this method to verify if the element is present
public static void isElementPresent(WebElement element) {
//log.info("Checking if element is present");
if(element.isDisplayed();){
element.click();
}
}

Does anybody know how to find this type of element by Selenium? (to validate its presence or text)?
I tried to catch it as alert (swithToAlert()) but it doesn't work. Any ideas? It is also can not be inspected as element and I can't find it in Elements. Thank you in advance.
This uses HTML5 form validation. This is created by the browser, and does not exist in the DOM. Therefore Selenium cannot see this.
You can access this using JavaScript. Here is a brief code sample:
JavascriptExecutor jsExecutor = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
WebElement field = driver.findElement(By.tagName("input")); // your input box
if (!(Boolean) jsExecutor.executeScript("return arguments[0].validity.valid;", field)) {
return (String) jsExecutor.executeScript("return arguments[0].validationMessage;", field);
}
The entire API is documented.
element.validity.valid
Returns true if the element's value has no validity problems; false otherwise.
So this popup is displayed if this returns false, but only after clicking Submit on the form.
The wait helpers are very useful functions. But it seems they can wait only for an element to exist (Until...)
Is there a wait to say "wait while condition is still fullfilled" ?
Example, click some element and wait for some other element to disappear
You can try (at least with Java, I'm not sure if it's in the other languages) is the ExpectedConditions.not the method, which you can wrap around another ExpectedConditions.
An example would be something like:
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.not(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector('#loading-spinner'))));
or you can try
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector('#loading-content')))
Selenium in Java has
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(element));
and
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.stalenessOf(element));
methods.
Selenium in Python has invisibility_of_element_located and staleness_of methods too.
So you can create a method clicking on some element and waiting for it to disappear, like this:
public void clickVisibleDisappear(By element){
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(element)).click();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(element));
}
Or clicking on one element and waiting for some other element to disappear as you asked, like this:
public void clickVisibleDisappear(By element1, By element2){
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(element1)).click();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(element2));
}
I am currently looking for a solution to click on Sava button in chrome print preview window with selenium Java.
Is there any way we can handel chrome print preview page?
I have tried with the Robot class, but it seems not reliable/stable for my application.
Could you please someone help me to achieve this with selenium Java.
I fail to see any "Save" button on print preview page for Chrome browser
Here is how you can click "Cancel" button, I believe you will be able to amend the code to match your requirements:
First of all make sure to wait for the preview page to be available using Explicit Wait
Change the context to the print preview window via WebDriver.switchTo() function
All the elements at the print preview page are hidden in ShadowDom therefore you will need to:
Locate the element which is the first parent of the element you're looking for
Get its ShadowRoot property and cast the result to a WebElement
Use the WebElement.findElement() function to locate the next parent
repeat above steps until you reach the desired button
Example code just in case:
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.numberOfWindowsToBe(2));
driver.switchTo().window(driver.getWindowHandles().stream().skip(1).findFirst().get());
WebElement printPreviewApp = driver.findElement(By.tagName("print-preview-app"));
WebElement printPreviewAppConten = expandShadowRoot(printPreviewApp, driver);
WebElement printPreviewSidebar = printPreviewAppConten.findElement(By.tagName("print-preview-sidebar"));
WebElement printPreviewSidebarContent = expandShadowRoot(printPreviewSidebar, driver);
WebElement printPreviewHeader = printPreviewSidebarContent.findElement(By.tagName("print-preview-header"));
WebElement printPreviewHeaderContent = expandShadowRoot(printPreviewHeader, driver);
printPreviewHeaderContent.findElements(By.tagName("paper-button")).get(1).click();
where expandShadowRoot function looks like:
private WebElement expandShadowRoot(WebElement parent, WebDriver driver) {
return (WebElement) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return arguments[0].shadowRoot", parent);
}
Save button will not work because page is not part of webpage. selenium only support web based application.
But you can use SIKULI to handle above scenario.
I'm trying to find and click the element "Test 123" using Selenium Webdriver in C#. I've tried all the methods I can think of, but no good. I think the values are hidden before they are selected, but not sure. Any ideas, please?
enter image description here
Simple Xpath locator can do the trick:
public void ClickElementByXpath(string text) {
IWebElement element = Driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//li[contains(text(), '${text}')]");
element.Click();
}
ClickElementByXpath("Test 123");
I'm using Selenium 2 (Webdriver) for automating tests on a webpage.
However I wonder if there is way to find out if a radiobutton is selected or not using webdriver framework?
I can find the element and click it by using Click() method.
I would like to test that it actually was set, or is that implicit done by the Click() method on IWebElement object?
(Using C# and NUnit)
You can determine if an element is selected by catching the element and then checking selected.
IWebElement thisElement = driver.FindElement(By.ID(//radiobutton id));
if(thisElement.Selected)
{
//do something here.
}
you can do this other ways but the .Selected is what you are looking for.
webDriver.findElement(By.className("radio")).click();
Boolean radio = webDriver.findElement(By.className("radio")).isEnabled();
if(radio.booleanValue()==true){
result.addPassedTestStepResult("user cannot uncheck the radiobutton");
}
