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 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 know this is and oldie, and I apologize for that. But I still haven't found a solution to this.
I have recently tried to test my OpenLayers-based app with Selenium. But when I click on the map, it doesn't detect the click in Selenium. I have searched all over the Internet. Some people say it is a bug from Selenium, other claim to have found a workaround.
I have tried all these solutions and I am getting no results. The clicks still don't work.

Could you please explain it better? Or maybe show an example?
Thanks
PS: I am new to Selenium, so it might be a bit more difficult for me to understand it.
I don't know if this is the best solution, but meanwhile I have started using Selenium WebDriver, more specifically, the Java version.
I have watched this video about automated tests and it helped a lot for getting on the right track. The video shows some examples of the use of Selenium WebDriver (the C# version, but it is similar to the Java version).
I have installed the ChromeDriver but you can also do it fully in Firefox.
I use JUnit for the tests.
In Selenium IDE, you "record" the tests and then you replay them.
Here, in Selenium WebDriver, you fully write the tests, without recording anything.
For example, you write code for the following steps:
1) Open the web page of my OpenLayers (or other) app.
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://localhost/myOpenLayersApp/index.php");
2) Click on the button that opens page X
driver.findElement(By.id("Button-Go-to-page-X")).click();
3) Checks if you have indeed navigated to page X
boolean check = driver.findElement(By.id("Header-X"))
.getText()
.equals("This is page X.");
Assert.assertTrue(check);
This was a very simple example of how to use Selenium WebDriver. At least, this is how I use it.
If you have more questions, please feel free to ask. :)
Note: Watch the video if you are new to this. It is a very good lesson about automated testing.
I have been testing an app using Firefox Web Driver but it is really slow comparing with HtmlUnitdriver, so I decided to translate to last one. All works fine but I have problems with some kind of links that loads information async.
In my case it is not problem of "wait" because I do and as i said before, using Firefox driver works very well. But with HtmlUnit doesnt work well.
In my scene I have following code:
Send
Viewing the app on a browser such as Firefox, when I click on that link, the system return me a result. But when I use HtmlUnitdriver, when I do click to the element, the driver goes directly to the href and then I have a bad result.
I don't really know how to do make works with it. I'm really interested on this way because is really fast.
Does anybody know how to simulate typing on Chromium? I want to simulate real typing and I successfully used combination of keydown+keypress+keyup on firefox. However, this approach does not work on Chrome. I tried key{down|press|up}native but that does not help, either. Using type command does not work, because it is not simulating the real typing, it is just setting the input element's value. I know there is a bug in Chromium where one is not able to dispatch key events successfully, but I wasn't sure does Selenium works on javascript level, or maybe on window level. Is this an obstacle I can't get over?
Thanks!
I don't know how you are using Selenium but if you are using it through Selenium RC API you can use normal type (which copies the string into the field). After that try using something like fireEvent("yourstringlcoator", "KeyUp"). This has worked for me in a situation when I wanted the keyUP event triggered (this was with jQuery datatables actually).
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
