I am trying to find the solution for my Webdriver script to work. I need your help to find the solution in my scenario.
I have a web application that creates form by using tabbed screen. There is a Next and Back buttons that have similar attributes and I cant find the solution.
xpath doesn't work, CSS has the same name and its getting confused.
here is the "Next" button that needs to be clicked:
<div class="button" style="margin-right: 5px;">
<input type="button" onclick="javascript:submitForm('metaStudyAction!moveToData.action')" value="Next">
I would like to use #FindBy annotation to find the element. Can I use HOW with multiple attributes?
You can use css for multiple attributes
#FindBy(css = "[type='button'][value='Next']")
private WebElement button;

I have a button displayed on the browser with the following tag which doesn't have ID or a single CSS class name. How can I find the Webelement and add a click to this button.
<button aria-describedby="notes" aria-label="Notes" autofocus="" class="btn btn-primary" role="dialog" type="button">OK</button>
Web elements can be located by XPath or CSS Selectors based on any unique combination of any attribute values or / and tag names and also based on their parent or child elements.
Since you didn't share the entire HTML of that page we can only guess about the correct unique locator for that element.
With XPath it can be something like:
"//button[text()='OK']"
Or
"//button[#aria-label='Notes']"
In CSS Selector style it will be
"button[aria-label='Notes']"
Consider locating the Element by Tag Name. Go to the parent element which has a id or class name and get subelements by tag name (parentelement.find_element_by_tag_name('button')) which is your button
Besides that, the button in your example has two classes.
You click on a button via the .click() command.
I need to click on the fields bug, epic, feature, issue and task which appear on click the "+" icon.
I inspect each of the elements and the see the same common xpath highlighted in the image in developer tool.
How do i find the xpath of each of the elements highlighted and click on them using selenium webdriver?
<body class="lwp">
<noscript><div class="absolute-fill flex-column flex-center"><h2>JavaScript is Disabled</h2><p>Please enable javascript and refresh the page</p></div></noscript>
<input type="hidden" name="__RequestVerificationToken" value="t6WnlqRwnH3QtDIOt2b3JiHWYI1V5vB3MheOCOTH7Fx6QaBNoXWz4k8P4luP9i7TYw70KVq4O2vuwa8DQRuLcdUxo_KKVjcmxorJTHAE3c42sdjYqojLZkOSNt1gad70mD0BBA2" />
<div data-componentregion="page" class="full-size"></div>
<div class="bolt-portal-host absolute-fill no-events scroll-hidden"></div>
</body>
You need to handle windows here because when you click "+" new window appearing with elements "bug","epic","feature",,,etc
should be parent window and "epic",,,, are child window
I could not identify unique xpath for the elements as all the elements had same xpath. using sikulix library solved my problem
I am trying to write a code to be able to press a button on a website using VBA. This is the element I get by inspecting the website :
button class="btn btn-cta xs-liquid btn-progress pull-right l-margin-15-bottom" type="submit">verder.
There is no id for the element, I only get the class and type. How can I use these to be able to write an efficient code?
Thank you
If the page is static (it does not change), then you can use GetElementsByTagName or GetElementsByClassName, and take the element with the zero-based index i from that collection: .Document.GetElementsByClassName("btn btn-cta xs-liquid btn-progress pull-right l-margin-15-bottom")(i).
In case of more complicated scenarios I would recommend XPath or CSS search.
Is it possible for behat to find an element by class name to click on? It looks like only the following is searched for: id|name|title|alt|value
For example, how could you successfully identify this element to click on?
<a class="button medium round signup" href="http://link.com" data-reveal-id="signupModal">sometext</a>
Also here is a simple page with a button, that has an ID. How come the following does not access the button?
<button id="myBtn" type="button" onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
Given I am on "http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_button_form"
When I press "myBtn"
Thanks
The button can not be accessed because it is contained in an iframe, you need to switch to that iframe to make the button available.
You can create steps to click on an element by any type of identifier (class included), or you can implement new step that requires css/xpath selectors.
Here you can find an example of a method to click by selector.
The first HTML code is nothing but a HREF. Behat should be easily able to identify it by using the line below:
Given I follow "sometext"
If the above doesn't work, you can simply use the CSS selector and click the element:
$locator = '.';
$this->getSession()->getPage()->find('css',$locator)->click();
I am a newbie to java and selenium webdriver. I am having an issue clicking an image. Below is the page source.
<a href="javascript:void(0);">
<span class="HomeButton" onclick="javascript:onBtnHomeClick();"/>
</a>
I tried below codes but did not work and still getting the Unable to locate element error.
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[#onclick='onBtnHomeClick()']")).click();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath(".//*[#id='js_AppContainer']/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/span"))).click();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.className("HomeButton"))).click();
I have to click the homebutton. Any help would be much appreciated
I don't know why By.className("HomeButton") didn't work but you have errors in the other two.
In driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[#onclick='onBtnHomeClick()']")).click(); the tag for onclick is <span> not <a>. It also not onBtnHomeClick() but javascript:onBtnHomeClick();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[#onclick='javascript:onBtnHomeClick();']")).click();
If you want to use onBtnHomeClick() use contains
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(#onclick, 'onBtnHomeClick')]")).click();
Or
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("onclick*='onBtnHomeClick'")).click();
And in wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath(".//*[#id='js_AppContainer']/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/span"))).click(); the <span> parent tag is <a>, not <div>
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath(".//*[#id='js_AppContainer']/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/a/span"))).click();
You simply need the correct locator IF your element will be eventually visible.
Xpath = "//span[contains(#class,'HomeButton') and contains(#onclick,'onBtnHomeClick')]"
Add wait as needed above exanmple, that should work.
