I am using Robot Framework for my web application automation execution.I had found one such solution using Selenium Web-driver.
scroll until the element is in view using Selenium Webdriver
But I wanted to accomplish this using Robotframewrok-Selenium2Library.
Please suggest such keyword if any.
Thanks.
Finally I got the solution to my query. I have to download the ExtendedSelenium2Library from : Github_Page
then I installed it and it is working fine now.
Thanks.
ExtendedSelenium2Library solved the problem of scrolling down and selecting an element. I used the keyword 'Scroll Element Into View' for my application. However the ExtendedSelenium2Library will not work with the higher versions of the selenium2library.
Below is my 'pip freeze' command output which is working
robotframework==3.0.2
robotframework-extendedselenium2library==0.9.1
robotframework-selenium2library==1.8.0
robotframework-seleniumlibrary==2.9.2
selenium==3.8.0
urllib3==1.22
I was stuck at similar blockade and i could resolve as below:
Hope this might be of little help!
Use ExtendedSelenium2Library Library...
Example:
***Settings***
Library ExtendedSelenium2Library
*** Keywords ****
Add Your Methods
#Execute Javascript window.scrollTo(0,200);
Scroll Element Into View ${YourElement}
Wait Until Element is visible ${YourElement} timeout=5s
Set Focus To Element ${YourElement}
Click Element ${YourElement}

I am using Karate robot for clicking a button using image.
Below is my code:
robot { app: '^Chrome', highlight: true }
robot.input('OracleDriver')
delay(2000)
robot.click('delete.png')
Sometimes I am able to click delete button for delete.png but other times I am not.
So facing this issue intermittently.
Yes, finding by image is indeed not very reliable and should be only used as a backup when normal windows locators don't work.
I have only the following suggestions:
find a windows locator that works. note that you can navigate from a known locator using someElement.parent.firstChild etc: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/master/karate-robot#element-api
try to standardize the resolution that works best
see if using OCR works better
contribute code to Karate to make this better
look for another solution
I tried clicking delete button by using it's class and it is very reliable, below is my code
waitFor('.icons8-delete-blue').click()
I also followed #Peter's suggestion (someElement.parent.firstChild) and it worked for me!, below is the code
waitFor('.modal-footer').children[0].click()
Thanks #Peter for the suggestion
Description:
The scrollIntoview dusk method is not working as expected.
Can anyone please point me the right version of laravel/dusk, chrome driver version to be used to make it work again.
Currently I am using theses versions while running the script.
Laravel framework version: 6.2
laravel/dusk: 6.11
php:7.2
Chrome driver: 88.0.4324.96.
Thank you in advance.
There is a wide range of unexpected behaviours in scrollIntoView(), and related reasons...
Among the many: my own experience was about the Bootstrap navbar placed above the scrolled element, resulting in many "Other element would receive the click" errors. I fixed it with my own Browser Macro, scrolling the element at the bottom of the page (instead of top):
\Laravel\Dusk\Browser::macro('scrollView', function ($selector) {
$selector = addslashes($this->resolver->format($selector));
$this->driver->executeScript("document.querySelector(\"$selector\").scrollIntoView({block: 'end'});");
$this->pause(500);
return $this;
});
In Red bus app i am trying to click on search buses button,I tried in many ways like this
driver. find element(by. xpath("//button"(contains(text()='Search Buses')")).click();
still getting unable to locate the element anyone having solution for this.
Actually your attempted xpath syntax is incorrect. You should try as below :
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Search Buses')]")).click();
or
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[text()='Search Buses']")).click();
You can find it using By.id() as well which would be much faster than xpath as :
driver.findElement(By.id("search_btn")).click();

Hi I am trying to run my selenium webdriver on IE9.
WebDriver version : 2.32.0
IE:9
IEDriverServer_win32:2.32.3
windows7
Below is my code:
File IEDriver=new File(System.getProperty("user.dir")+File.separator+"BrowserDrivers"+File.separator+"IEDriverServer.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", IEDriver.getAbsolutePath());
DesiredCapabilities cap=DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
cap.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true);
WebDriver driver=new InternetExplorerDriver(cap);
driver.get("http://in00616:8421/GS");
Thread.sleep(3000);
//driver.findElement(By.id("j_username")).sendKeys("admin");
//driver.findElement(By.id("j_password")).sendKeys("admin");
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//input[#id='j_username']")).sendKeys("admin");
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//input[#id='j_password']")).sendKeys("admin");
driver.findElement(By.id("login")).submit();
Thread.sleep(2000);
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//button[text()='Securities']")).click();
Thread.sleep(2000);
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//span[text()='Issue']")).click();
Thread.sleep(2000);
driver.findElement(By.id("tabSecurities_Issue_Request_for_Issues")).click();
Above code logs in to my site but then when I try to click on Securities button I am not able to do it. Securities button starts flickering and then I am notified that unable to find the element.
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException:
Unable to find element with xpath == .//span[text()='Issue Type']
(WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) –
Same code works fine in FireFox.
Please help as i am suppose to test my UI on InternetExplorer.
I think it is the version compatibility issue.
Can anyone suggest the compatible version set for IEDriverServer, Selenium WebDriver and IE which is in working condition.
As this SO answer points out, IE does not have native XPath support. Instead, Selenium WebDriver uses an old third party xpath library when IE is being used. Firefox has integrated support for XPath, which is why your selectors work fine in that browser.
I would highly recommend you update your selectors to instead use CSS selectors. They are supported across all browser, are easier to read, understand, and pick up, and they are pretty fast.
You can learn more about how to use CSS selectors from some different tuturials here, here, and here, and a CSS selectors cheatsheet.
Also, whenever possible, please try to not select an element by the text it contains. If you can select an element by its ID, class, other attribute, or even through the DOM chain (i.e. "div.1 > div.2 > span.a > a.b"), is better than trying to select an element by text.
Webdriver has difficulty with IE using locators. It seems like Murnal has difficulty using CSS locator. My advice would be you HAVE to use other locators if one doesnt work. This issue comes again and again while using non firefox browser. In the meantime an easier way to come up with alternate locator is use Firefox selenium IDE, there in the boxes where you type command you will see it gives alternate locator as well. Copy that and try plugging tha in your webdriver's findelement script.
Hi all i have found out that it was the issue of Selenium Webdriver 2.32 with IEDriver_Server2_32. After trying out permutation & Combination with latest available webdriver versions and IEDriver_Server, i have found out suitable stable configuration to work on IE9 below is the stable configuration : Webdriver : 2.33.0 IEDriver_Server : 2.33.0. There is still small issue but i am trying to look for workaround. Issue : In IE if some control's tooltip overlaps other control than IE is not able to find out that control. i guess this issue is with IEs working. IE uses nativeEvents to perform operation hence it is not able to locate that control. In FF it is able to find out that control and it is working fine. Thanks everyone.
[error] Element //div[#id='divProjects']/table/tbody/tr/td[6]/i not found
i tried to use xpather,firebug inorder to find the id's and values of the object.But,it is not working for me.
please help me to solve my issue.
You can share the IDE script, it'll make easy to resolve the issue. You have to verify that you have got to the element when you are trying to perform any action on it.
Your xpath needs to be more relative. One thing you can try is to change the xpath to xpath:relative while recording in IDE. You can find this option on clicking on the dropdown
