I had my Selenium tests navigating to a public dummy inbox to verify receipt of email deliveries and would perform some confirmation workflows there (password change, etc). It was becoming far too slow and unreliable.
I'm now using the API of a mail service to retrieve an email message. I'm able to search for the message I need and I'm able to retrieve the block of HTML that I'm usually inspecting.
Is there a way to use a Capybara finder on a block of HTML text?
You can turn a string of html into something Capybara can work with by doing
node = Capybara.string(the_html.to_s)
then you can call finders on node
node.find(...)

Wondering the best way to prevent a GTM tag from firing. I found https://rbardini.com/automating-gtm-data-layer-tests/ which tags about fetching the dataLayer variable and comparing it in an assertion, but this looks like a clumsy approach when you want to write to the dataLayer on every page.
For example, it suggests:
const getDataLayer = ClientFunction(() => window.dataLayer)
We use Google Tag Manager to automatically load tags on our website. Unfortunately one of them is CloudIQ (from PayPal) which pops up an iframe overlay offering a newsletter signup or ability to save your shopping basket. The Trigger in our GTM setup for that tag is simply 'All Pages'. When it pops up it generally blocks our test because Selectors cannot be clicked.
Our page flow is over several pages of an online shop, e.g.:
visit home page, click a product - navigates to a product page
click some options on the product page, then add to cart
go through checkout flow
So there might be many pages visited due to click actions.
There is an ability in GTM to define Variables and then use them in Exceptions for a tag, so I could prevent the CloudIQ tag firing either via a/ a global variable or b/ a dataLayer variable. However, I can't see how to elegantly get these set for each page visited during my test, such that they would exist when the GTM examines variables in order to block a Tag from being loaded. Fixture.beforeEach isn't right because it would only run once per fixture, and any data it set on the page's scope would be lost as soon as a page navigation occurs.
Anyone got experience of this sort of thing?
(The alternative of course is to detect the overlay, use switchToIframe to switch into the CloudIQ iframe and close it manually, but it pops up quite erratically and I'd prefer to simply disable the Tag altogether during tests as it's not core functionality of our website that we need to test.)
One way would be to set a custom user agent string to your test suite, create a custom javascript variable that returns the value for navigator.useragent, and make an exception trigger that blocks the tag.
Or any variation on that theme - set a cookie, use a url parameter, or if you test suite allow inject a global js variable, and check for the value in an exception trigger.
There is no need to avoid firing of events on the client side. Just mock the service routes for Google Tag Manager and CloudIQ and imitate correct responses for them.
Currently using a robotframework-imaplibrary2 [a extension of robot framework]
To open emails sent, I just want to open the link from the sent email in a using the the normal robot framework selenium functions
Is this possible?
Email Verification
Open Mailbox host=imap.hiddeb.com user=fsf#fsefesf.com password=sfefsff
${LATEST} = Wait For Email sender=sfefsefs#sfefsf.com timeout=300
${HTML} = Open Link From Email ${LATEST}
The library contains this
${HTML} = Open Link From Email ${LATEST}
Looking at the implementation of the keywords, I'd say this has nothing to with selenium.
What seems to happen is, you need an email that is in HTML format (not plain text). Then you need the index of that email, which is in your case stored in variable ${LATEST}
Calling Open link from Email ${LATEST} uses the first link (that is the default behaviour) that is found in that email and opens the url and gets the HTML content of that website. There does not seem to be any browser or webdriver involved.
However, if you like to open a link in a browser, I would try the keyword Get Links from Email:
${ALL_LINKS} Get Links from Email ${LATEST}
SeleniumLibrary.Go To ${ALL_LINKS}[0]
Disclaimer: Since I do not have any test-email server available, my suggestion might require adjustments.
I am creating a framework in selenium from scratch where i am scripting below scenarios:
1.Login in to https://www.yahoomail.com
2.entering username
3.entering password
4.click on Sign-In
5.click on Compose button
6.Enter Email ID, Subject and Message body.
Below is the code script i have written for above scenario:
WebDriver oYahoo = new FirefoxDriver();
oYahoo.get("http://www.yahoomail.com/");
oYahoo.manage().window().maximize();
oYahoo.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='login-username']")).sendKeys("abcdefasdf#yahoo.com");
oYahoo.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='login-passwd']")).sendKeys("sfgas234#123");
oYahoo.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='login-signin']")).click();
oYahoo.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='Compose']/button")).click();
oYahoo.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='yui_3_16_0_1_1448364357109_2222']")).sendKeys("abcdefgh#gmail.com");
oYahoo.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='subject-field']")).sendKeys("Hi This is my first automated mail");
oYahoo.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='yui_3_16_0_1_1448364357109_1966']")).sendKeys("Hi This is my first automated mail");
oYahoo.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='yui_3_16_0_1_1448364357109_2465']")).click();
oYahoo.quit();
Scripts fine till it clicks on "Compose" button, Once i get Mail editor, Script does not enters email-ID,Subject, and Message body.
What other action i should perform to achieve the same so that script will enter these parameters and can send a mail to particular user.
Do we need to create some class which will maps the locators to "compose-Email" screen?
If yes, how we can map/assign x-path to particular web element of Compose-Email page.
Thanks in Advance.
Well you should try by using the xpath and enter the required text. Something like this (it works for me)-
oYahoo.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='to-field']")).sendKeys("xxxx#xxx.com");
oYahoo.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='subject-field']")).sendKeys("My first automated email");
oYahoo.findElement(By.id("rtetext")).sendKeys("Hello....Hi....This is my first automated email");
I am converting code that originally ran as remote signed jar files in Firefox to use XULRunner instead. There are several reports that are implemented as web pages with an output option. Options include an HTML page or a report viewer that is written in XUL and Javascript.
When the user submits the form, and the report viewer is selected, then I need to open a chrome window. Obviously this cannot be done directly for security reasons. I want to provide a function or use some sort of message passing method to signal to the containing chrome what needs to happen.
Can this be done and if so how? Things I am considering:
1) Adding a function to the content window's window or document object
2) Some sort of message passing function
3) Some sort of customer event send/receive
4) A special URL form with a handler such as repviewer://repname/parameters
There is a quite elaborate article on this topic on MDN. The best way to achieve this without jeopardizing security is to send a generic event from your web page. The top XUL document should call addEventListener() with the fourth parameter set to true which will allow it to receive such untrusted events. Data can be passed through an attribute of the event target, the XUL document can then inspect that attribute.
I have started using Webdriver to automate our testing which is 100% manual.
In one of the use cases I need to click on a link sent to the user's inbox. I am facing problems with Gmail in this case. After logging in I am not able to figure out how to open a particular email.
I know the email subject etc but I am unable use it to access the element. Gmail receives all its data as JSON and then build the entire page through js functions. So the webdriver is not able to access any of the elements built using the JSOn data received.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris.
I would suggest NOT to use UI to verify Gmail. Gmail's UI is extremely complicated and it's a trap. To me, automating with selenium is not a solution at all.
Consider using JavaMail API and HTTPURLConnection. This is what I do in a similar testing scenario.
While running the webdriver test, after doing certain action if you expect an email then using JavaMail API poll (for a certain timeout if its not immediate) for the email in the background with certain 'subject' or 'sender' etc. Once the email is found then grab the link from the email content and then simulate a click using HTTPURLConnection
If you can search the specific email you can use the following code to locate the email you are looking for:
//div [#class='y6']/span[contains(.,'<your original search text>')]
mind that google will cut off the subject which results in something like 'subject...' if the subject is too long. We use a unique number to identify messages in our automated test environment.
I don't think I got your question correctly but I suppose you are having trouble finding the locator to open the mail after you've entered text in search box of gmail.
//div[5]/div/div/table/tbody/tr[n]" //n is the row no. of mailbox, for first result use 1 and like
use this as identifier for element before cliking on it.
Hope this helps.
In my case, I found the solution by using Action class of Web driver
Pre-requisite: Your driver needs to move to specific frame to locate element
wd.switchTo().frame("canvas_frame");
Step 1) Search for specific email that is created/generated using below code
String searchvalue="html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[3]/div/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/div/form/fieldset[2]/div/div/div[2]/input";
wd.findElement(By.xpath(searchvalue)).sendKeys(sendkeys);
String clickSearch=".//*[#id='gbqfb']";
wd.findElement(By.xpath(clickSearch)).click();
Step 2) Now use Actions class to navigate through.
Actions action= new Actions(wd);
action.click(firstrecord).build().perform();
Hope this helps out!
The above answer is correct to identify a mail in Gmail if we replace the subject.
I have tried with Selenium IDE to find the object with the
target as
xpath=//div [#class='y6']/span[contains(.,'<your original search text>')]
The object was found but click is not opening the mail.
So after some investigation I found that mouseDown method is working with the above xpath to open a mail.
So command will be
selenium.mouseDown("xpath=//div [#class='y6']/span[contains(.,'<your original search text>')]");
or
<td>mouseDown</td>
<td>xpath=//div[#class='y6']/span[contains(.,'£10 OFF when you spend £30 or more online')]</td>
<td></td>
in the IDE.
Hope this helps.
The current locator for gmail body is:
driver.findElement(By.className("LW-avf")).click();
driver.findElement(By.className("LW-avf")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.className("LW-avf")).sendKeys("your body message");
The below selenese command would do:
clickAt | //table/tbody/tr/td[5]/div[#class='yW'] |
Click at the FROM field of first/recent/top most mail to go to mail detail page. // note: tr for first mail, tr[2] for second and so on.
Try this out , working perfectly for me. This will select random emails, you can also modify as your requirement
for i in xrange(int(num)):
time.sleep(3)
m=random.randint(1,10)
print("Mail Number "+str(m)+" is selected")
browser.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#role='tabpanel'][1]//table//tr"+str([m])).click()
time.sleep(3)
browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id=":5"]/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/div/div').click()
You can use this also if you want to open a particular mail in gmail:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//tr[i[td[4[div[contains(#class,'yW')]]]")).click();
Here i is the mail number which you want
