Once i login to the main application. I want it to enter state name and hit enter function.It is ideally a dropdown but i would like to achieve this by entering text "Colorado" in texbox and hit enter. The text box is located under a dropdown.My question is about how to enter text in Slenium textbox and hit Enter.
The HTML for textbox is as follows,
<input type="text" autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false" class="select2-input" role="combobox" aria-expanded="true" aria-autocomplete="list" aria-owns="select2-results-1" id="s2id_autogen1_search" placeholder="" aria-activedescendant="select2-result-label-11">
My current code is as follows:-
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#s2id_regionSelect > a > span.select2-arrow")).click();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#s2id_autogen1_search")).sendKeys("Colorado");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
WebElement textbox = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#s2id_autogen1_search"));
textbox.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
It is able to enter text in textbox but does not hit enter. I just need to select the Colorado state and click on different tab.
One way to do this is to just send a newline character (\n) with the text, e.g.
driver.findElement(...).sendKeys("Colorado\n");
In my C# automation code, I'm using the Actions(OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions) to hit enter in a input field.
new Actions(driver).SendKeys(Keys.Enter).Perform();
you can try to use TAB key:
WebElement textBox =driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#s2id_autogen1_search")).sendKeys("Colorado");
textbox.sendKeys(Keys.TAB);// it will change focus to next element
//locate the elements in the page using their properties like``id, name or path etc.
WebElement email = driver.findElement(By.id("abc"));
email.sendKeys("abc#gmail.com");

I am trying to click a button, which once clicked some text should appear. Selenium is not throwing any errors which means the buttons should have been clicked however the text is not appearing (it works manually).
<button class = "redButton one">
<img src = "images/name.png" class = redImage">
"Name"
</button>
I tried to click the button with the xpath: "//button[contains(text(), 'Name')]". I don't understand why the text is not appearing.
What is the expected text to be displayed after button click event? In order to help with this request, provide the HTML snippet of <button> before & after click event. Since this is working fine manually, did you try adding adequate wait time for the text to display?
Application has ADD Button, that need to be clicked after entering Fname and Lname. Once ADD button is clicked, another Fname and Lname text fields appears. I have tried to use index, but not worked. Text is getting entered in the first text box multiple times.
<input class="mat-input-element mat-form-field-autofill-control ng-touched ng-dirty ng-valid" matinput="" type="text" autocomplete="on" name="undefined" min="undefined" max="undefined" required="" maxlength="50" id="mat-input-16" placeholder="First Name" aria-invalid="false" aria-required="true">
First time the text is getting entered in the Element.
private IWebElement Input_Auto_SomeOneInjuredLname => FindElement(By.Id("mat-input-13"));
Input_Auto_SomeOneInjuredLname.SendKeys(data.Auto_IsSomeoneInjuredLname);
Find Element by XPath as follows:
(//input[#placeholder="Last Name"])[3]
(//input[#placeholder="First
Name"])[3]
Change needs to be done :
(//input[#placeholder="First Name"])[_ADD_INDEX_VARIABLE]
(//input[#placeholder="Last Name"])[_ADD_INDEX_VARIABLE]
Increment the value of Index Variable through for loop or while loop
starting with value =1
I have a TextBox that appears on Radio Button Selection and I have to enter values in a particular format(XYZ989898-99). However I am unable to do so by using the commonly used methods of entering text in selenium.
Background info related to Textbox :
TextBox appears when user clicks on Yes radio button.
TextBox has default value as XYZ already entered.
SendKeys do not concatenate the text given without XYZ as well.
TextBox is inside an Iframe to which focus is shifted correctly.
The code does not fail, it just remained clicked on textbox without entering anything.
Approach 1 :
driver.findElement(locator).SendKeys("989898-99");
Approach 2 :
driver.findElement(locator).clear();
driver.findElement(locator).SendKeys("XYZ989898-99");
Approach 3 :
WebElement element = driver.findElement(locator);
Actions action1 = new Actions(driver);
action1.movetoElement(element).click().perform();
action1.sendKeys("XYZ989898-99");
HTML Sample :
<div class="value" ng-show="selectedValue" style="">
<label class="labelAboveTextBox">XYZ Number*</label>
<input type="text" class="Value" ng-model="XYZNumber" ng-
req="XYZNumber" xyz-input="" maxlength="12" style="value"
id="value" value="XYZ" required="required">
<!-- ngIf: invalidtspmessage -->
<span style="font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText';font-size:
0.7rem;color: black;">
Note: Enter XYZ is this format: XXXXXXXXX-XX
</span>
</div>
I would like to know If there is any other approach that can be used to get this problem resolved and also why does the above approaches failed to work.
You have used the wrong methods for sending the keys. (in approach 1 and 2)
Instead of .SendKeys(), you have to use .sendKeys() method for writing anything on UI side
Into the third approach, you have used the wrong method .movetoElement(). The method name is .moveToElement().
For sendKeys() don't need to use Actions class. basically, it is for Keyboard events and for mouse events.
(WebElement).sendKeys("989898-99"); // first approach you can use
(WebElement).clear(); // second approach you can use
(WebElement).sendKeys("XYZ989898-99");
Hope this will help you to solve your errors.
Other way you can use is to set the text is by using the JavaScriptExecutor. Give some delay before performing the action.
Try the below sample code :
Thread.sleep(3000);
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("document.getElementById('value').value='XYZ989898-99';");
As the id is unique, you can use the JavaScript's getElementById() function to set the value.
If you want to set the text through the sendKeys() method and before that if you want to clear the text then simple clear() may not work instead you can try to delete the XYZ values first and try to send the values like below again :
// Wait for some time
Thread.sleep(3000);
// Locate the element first and store it in some variable
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("value"));
// Fetch the existing text from the field first
String existingValue = element.getAttribute("value");
// Wait for some time
Thread.sleep(3000);
// Click on that element first so the focus will shift to there
element.click();
// Wait for some time
Thread.sleep(2000);
// Loop until the existing value length
for(int i=0;i<existingValue.length();i++) {
// Remove the existing character text one by one
element.sendKeys(Keys.BACK_SPACE);
}
// Try to send the text at the end, make sure that you should append XYZ as a prefix
element.sendKeys("XYZ989898-99");
I hope it helps...
I am trying to run selenium webdriver, imitating typing something to textbox and submit it.
I have this following code:
WebElement element = null;
element = waitForElementPresent(tFByCssSelector,timeoutValue);
element.clear();
element.click();
element.sendKeys("Input String");
The code successfully type "Input String" to the textField, but when I submit the form, it says the form is empty (The form had been set to catch empty input exception).
I wonder why sendKeys does not set the value of the text field even though it has typed the wanted value into the text field.
Try to tab out of the field:
element.sendKeys("Input String");
element.sendKeys(Keys.TAB);
It may be that the field value only gets set on blur.
As I see, all looks okay in your selenium code. I believe there is some problem with your HTML form.
The form should have proper action for receiving the values. A sample form is provided below.
<form action="http://foo.com" method="post">
<input name="say" value="Hi">
<input name="to" value="Mom">
<button>Send my greetings</button>
</form>
Based on what you use in method parameter, you will get the form data in POST or GET variables.
Also you don't need to click on the element before sending keys in Selenium.
<table id="Content_Content_Content_ctlCaseInfo_rdochldplcm" class="fltLeft">
<tr>
<td><input type="radio" id="Content_Content_Content_ctlCaseInfo_rdochldplcm_0" name="ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$Content$Content$Content$ctlCaseInfo$rdochldplcm" value="0" /><label for="Content_Content_Content_ctlCaseInfo_rdochldplcm_0">No</label></td><td><input type="radio" id="Content_Content_Content_ctlCaseInfo_rdochldplcm_1" name="ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$Content$Content$Content$ctlCaseInfo$rdochldplcm" value="1" /><label for="Content_Content_Content_ctlCaseInfo_rdochldplcm_1">Yes</label></td>
</tr>
</table>
When I try
driver.FindElement(By.Id("Content_Content_Content_ctlCaseInfo_rdochldplcm")).Click();
it clicks to "Yes"
When I try driver.FindElement(By.Id("Content_Content_Content_ctlCaseInfo_rdochldplcm_0")).Click();
OR
driver.FindElement(By.Id("Content_Content_Content_ctlCaseInfo_rdochldplcm_1")).Click();
Nothing happens and no radio button gets selected.
Please suggest ways to handle this situation ..thanks a lot!!
It would probably be better to click the Radio buttons through XPath.
In your specific case, the XPath for:
Yes - Radio Button:
"//input[contains(#id, 'rdochldplcm') and contains(#value, 1)]"
No - Radio Button:
"//input[contains(#id, 'rdochldplcm') and contains(#value, 0)]"
In this instance, if you wanted to click the 'Yes' Radio button, you can do this:
string yesRadioButtonXPath = "//input[contains(#id, 'rdochldplcm') and contains(#value, 1)]"
IWebElement yesRadioButton = driver.FindElement(By.XPath(yesRadioButtonXPath));
yesRadioButton.Click();
For the 'No' Radio button, you would use this:
string noRadioButtonXPath = "//input[contains(#id, 'rdochldplcm') and contains(#value, 0)]"
IWebElement noRadioButton = driver.FindElement(By.XPath(noRadioButtonXPath));
yesRadioButton.Click();
Since you're using a table, there may be a chance that the XPath may return more than one element. You'd need to use a different method to sort out the elements in that case, but for what you're looking for, this method should work.
this solved my problem perfeclty
I have a page with 18 radio buttons in 6 groups which represented "Yes" "No" and "No Answer"
I was trying to get them by ID but it was randomized by the app
But using a name and value tags made it work.
radios were defined basically like this:
input value="2" class=" x-form-radio x-form-field" autocomplete="off" id="randID_13578" name="emailNotifiyOptionAllow" type="radio">
and every time i opened this page id was different so using
"//input[contains(#name, 'emailNotifyOptionAllow') and contains(#value, 1)]"
solved it.
Thanx
Use this :
//First get the list of values from the radio button
List < WebElement > elements = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("table[id='Content_Content_Content_ctlCaseInfo_rdochldplcm'] > td"));
WebElement value;
//use loop for searching the particular element
for(WebElement element : elements){
//Getting the value of the element
value = element.findElement(By.cssSelector("label")).getText();
//condition to click on the element
if(value.trim().equals("No")){ //Here value is hard coded. You can take from excel sheet also
// If condition satisfies, it will click on the element
element.findElement(By.cssSelector("input").click();
}
}
This can be used as a common function also.
try [0] and [1] instead of the underscore.
Try your code with the given below CSS :
Step 1:
By Provided HTML Piece we can derive the CSS of the Radio Button
css=#Content_Content_Content_ctlCaseInfo_rdochldplcm input
Step 2:
Click on the radio button using Web Driver Code
driver.findElement
(By.cssSelector("#Content_Content_Content_ctlCaseInfo_rdochldplcm input"))
.click();
