I am testing the browser for mobile responsiveness. I changed the browser window size to iPhone 5 which is 320 x 568 using this command
driver.Manage().Window.Size = new Size(320, 568);
When I run the test, the browser opens fine according to the mentioned size without any issue. But it fails to find a hyperlink text which is displayed on the page. I get Element not visible exception when I could actually see the link text on the screen. So, could anyone help me solve this issue or have any ideas that I could try?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Perhaps it's due to the time delay, that means code executes even before the link appears, So write the following code in your language
Code from Ruby Selenium-binding
wait = Selenium::WebDriver::Wait.new(timeout: 10) # seconds
wait.until { driver.find_element(id: "foo").displayed? }
driver.find_element(id: "foo").click
Try to scroll to the element.
You could use java script to do that.
In Python this can be done via
WebDriver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", elem)
Some elements of the DOM of the webpage change when you test for mobile responsiveness, so selenium is unable to locate the element that you are specifically trying to target.So, you should try to debug and find the methods where the code is failing to perform the action.Then you should find the locators for those elements in "mobile responsiveness view" and trigger only those methods when you are testing for mobile.

I am using Selenium C# to drive a Headless instance of Chrome
((ChromeOptions)_Options).AddArgument("--headless");
((ChromeOptions)_Options).AddArgument("window-size=1920,1080");
I have run into the problem that my javascript is always detecting both
$(document).height()
and
$(window).height()
as being 1080 in height, which is not accurate. The document height should be much taller in some cases. Is there a reason this is not working correctly and/or a work around to solve the issue?
In my troubleshooting, I grabbed the value for this javascript, and discovered that it was also 1080.
Math.max(document.body.scrollHeight, document.body.offsetHeight,
document.documentElement.clientHeight,
document.documentElement.scrollHeight,
document.documentElement.offsetHeight)
This particular page is definitely taller than the screen, and I used the Selenium GetScreenshot() method to take a picture and verify the scrollbar exists and content exists below the visible area.
For clarification, this does work correctly when running the headed version of Chrome. And the javascript in question is being run from JQuery's method:
$(document).ready(function () {
I'm trying to figure out how to hide the border (including the address bar, tabs, title bar... everything that isn't the browser viewport) of my Firefox instance instantiated by Selenium.
If there's some way to have it use a userChrome.css, that would be straightforward enough. I've tried loading a profile folder that included a userChrome.css using this answer as a guide, but it seemed to ignore the styles. I've also looked through Firefox's about:config to see if there's some preference that would hide the frame of the window, but I haven't found anything yet.
Any solution that allows me to hide all or some of these elements when creating the instance with Selenium would be helpful. I know it's silly, but that's how it goes sometimes, you know?
-edit-
I don't think the title bar needs to be hidden. But everything else should be hidden.
-another edit to clarify a few things-
I mentioned kiosk mode in the comments as an example of the sort of thing I'm going for. Kiosk mode isn't exactly what I'm looking for, though. The windows aren't meant to be fullscreen, but they should still lack the elements of a common browser window. Think of it as like an Electron app. Out of the box, Electron lacks an address bar, tabs, etc. That's basically what we have for our app, but it's with regular-old Firefox. Again, whether these elements are displayed or not doesn't typically impact the test, but we want them hidden anyway.
Finally, I a friend of mine tried achieving this goal using a userChrome.css wrapped in a Firefox profile and was able to get Selenium to use the userChrome. So perhaps I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong. The biggest difference between how he did it and how I'm doing it is I must use a remote web driver for testing. But even still, it should be able to load the userChrome.css file. I'll try to update this question with more details as I fiddle with it some more.
-edit-
I think the reason userChrome isn't working when specifying a profile is because of the version(s) of Selenium/Geckodriver/Firefox being used.
The geckodriver version I started with was 0.15. 0.17 behaved exactly the same. 0.18 didn't respect the profile I passed along to it at all and instead had Firefox open the profile selection window (not very useful, but I was able to at least select the correct profile and see the userChrome.css get applied). 0.24 is no different.
Firefox is 52.9.0. Not much I can do about that.
We're using selenium (standalone) server 3.8.1. Switching out for 3.141.59 Didn't change anything.
Unless there's a version combination that will work with Firefox 52, I think the only thing I can do is wait until there's an update.
At last I have figured it out. In order to get Selenium to use my custom profile, I needed to do the following:
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(new File(path_to_profile));
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions().setProfile(profile);
RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(options.toCapabilities());
driver.get(url_of_webpage);
Thanks to avinesh09 on Github for the info I needed to solve the problem. It's so simple, but this has to be the only way that I neglected to try to load the profile.
If fullscreen (kiosk) mode is what you ask for (as then all you see is the viewport) it is as simple as:
driver.manage().window().fullscreen();
It is the same user experience as pressing "F11" in your browser.
I'm having a little trouble nailing down what's causing a particular issue. I'm fairly new to automation testing and I'm having a strange problem. The website I'm testing has an auto suggest function which works absolutely fine when checking manually. The problem is when loading a browser using the Selenium webdriver (I've tried firefox, chrome and IE drivers) that the auto suggest is simply not loading.
It's like the part of the page to do with that and a date/time mini popup aren't loading at all so none of them work when running scripts. Has anyone else had this and resolved it? or is it an issue with the web page itself?
Thanks
You may need to fire an event which by default webdriver is not envoking with sendKeys.
Asking you developer how it works in their code, and then extend selenium to replicate this behaviour.
Also, have you tried do sendKeys one character at a time with a small sleep in-between
I'm trying to get screenshots from a web page with multiple browsers. Just experimenting with Selenium RC, I wrote code like this:
var sel = new DefaultSelenium(server, 4444, target, url);
sel.Start();
sel.Open(url);
sel.WaitForPageToLoad("30000");
var imageString = sel.CaptureScreenshotToString();
This basically works, but in most cases the screenshot is of a blank browser window, because the page is not yet ready for display. It kind of works if I add a sleep just after the WaitForPageToLoad, but that slows down the fast browsers and/or may be to short for the slower browsers (or under load).
A typical solution for this seems to be to wait for the presence of a certain element. However, this is meant as a simple generic solution to get a screenshot of a local web page with as many browsers as possible (to test the layout) and I don't want to have to enter certain element names or whatever. It's a simple tool where you just enter the Selenium Server URL and the URL you want to test, and get the screenshots back.
Any advice?
I use Selenium-RC to capture screenshots of remote pages where the waiting time is variant. In such cases, checking the title of the page and using time.sleep(n seconds) usually does it for me.
May be you can make use of Browser status bar to verify whether that page is loaded fully or not. I think this is the best solution.
Excuse me, I have tried to use iMacro in FireFox to do playback.
However, it seems that during the playback, it try to click a button before the page finish loading such that the playback stop and iMacro complains that the element (i.e. the button )cannot be found.
I have encountered similar problem in Selenium and have used "clickAndWait" command to solve such kind of problem in Selenium.
May I ask in iMacro, does it also have command such as the "clickAndWait" in selenium for us to prevent the problem?
Or should we use any other method to deal with it in iMacro?
THank you very much
You can use
WAIT SECONDS=x
