I have a button that executes an Ajax request and then it successfully redirects to another page.
How do I assert that the redirected page was successfully reached?
I have a clickAndWait on the button. But after that..?
you can use verifyTextPresent command to verify a unique lable or text in the redirected page.by that way you can fix you have successfully reached the redirected page.
try like this
command : verifyTextPresent
Target : some unique text in the redirected page.
i think your problem can be fixed by this.
IDE has many assert commands. You can use any of the one and you can achieve the test scope(here the page is navigated or not).
Example:
command : assertTitle
Target : check the title of the page.
In the above he used verifyTextPresent it will check weather the text is present or not in the page and it will continue the next step. If you use assert commands it will proceed the next step when the assert step is passed. Otherwise it fails.
One thing you keep in mind, selenium won't wait for Ajax kind of loading, it will wait for the Page loading. So, you have to put Wait commands explicitly to finish the Ajax loading.
You can get moreassertions when you convert the selenese code into the preferred language and testing framework. You can see that option in the Option tab in the IDE.

I was wondering if there is anything in Selenium that can verify if a page loaded completely without relying on a specific element in the page to appear (while using the "wait until page contains" or similar keywords).
The idea is reusability. If there is a need to add new websites to the robot automation later, I do not want to rely on a specific element that might exist in one page but not in another to verify if the page loaded fully.
Is there any keyword that addresses that in Robot Framework - Selenium Library?
Thanks!
Edit - I am aware that some AJAX requests are impossible or extremely difficult to conclude if they finished or not (or if they just keep going forever) so let's assume the website does not have any of that.
Once the page is finished loading, all requests are done.
driver.execute_script("return document.readyState === 'complete'")
use execute script document.readyState , if it returns complete it means the loading have finiished.
But if there is no ajax you don't have to do it selenium does it automatically so your question won't be valid:
https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/en/webdriver/page_loading_strategy/#:~:text=Defines%20the%20current%20session's%20page,loading%20takes%20lot%20of%20time.
normal This will make Selenium WebDriver to wait for the entire page
is loaded. When set to normal, Selenium WebDriver waits until the load
event fire is returned.
By default normal is set to browser if none is provided.
I couldn't find some built-in option but there is another way to achieve this. Check if your web app uses any third-party library which shows progress bar, if yes then probably there is function which returns the status of page loading including Ajax call. If not, then you can ask devs to add some progress bar, for instance Pace.JS
document.readyState does not wait for Ajax calls, personally I found it less helpful.
This is my scenario "i am submitting the form and once I submit its navigate into page call WebTable.I want to confirm now am incorrect page after submitting the form"
how to check this by using assertion? please help selenium /Java /TestNG
In my experience, you have basically two options available to you.
Wait for the URL to contain what you expect using driver.getCurrentUrl()
Wait for a specific element that will only appear on the next page
If you don't have a class already built for performing retries, you can use FluentWait.
Once you click the form you wait for an element to show up using Webdriverwait.
You pull the current URL and check with value and assert it.
submitBtn.click();
WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("etc")));
expectedUrl = driver.getCurrentUrl();
Assert.assertTrue(expectedUrl.equals("something"));
Selenium provides a good practice for this type of validation, and here comes FluentWait:
FluentWait fluentWait = new FluentWait(webDriverBPO).withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(20)).pollingEvery(Duration.ofSeconds(1)).ignoring(NullPointerException.class);
All you have to do after your last action, is to wait until URL contains your expected value:
fluentWait.until(ExpectedConditions.urlContains("your URL or keyword from URL"));
You can try also to wait for any element from the new page, but the URL loads faster than the content, so you will save some time (as you don't need to perform any other validations).
Is there some specific way to test ajax based web application using webdriver?
Yes you should be careful when you write tests for pages that use JavaScript/Ajax heavily.
Main point in such case is to use wait condition each time you do something and result is not available instantly or via page change. When you need to add a wait condition examine behavior of the page and try to find some event that is a sign for you that operation is completed (attribute change, new element appears or disappears and so on).
I am making an extension for Chrome as a browser action. I need to know if there is any way to have some functions executed while installing the app. All of the pages that I have seen like "background" and "popup" execute everytime. I need to configure the extension and then use these parameters further in my extension.
Is there a way to do so or I will have to put a check everytime the browser starts.
Best practice is to use a background page and localStorage. Each time the background page starts check if localStorage.getItem('installed') === 'true' to see if it is a new istall or not.
Background pages start when Chrome starts vs browser action popups that start every time a user clicks the button.
I am using selenium to test a webapp, for which most of the selenium test cases are already written. I have no idea how it works, I just build the project and go to link provided in the browser and run the test start running and yes all the test are manually written not generated.
I am using ruby, and doing something like this for clicking a link/button in a javascript popup :
def methodName()
clickAndWait("<Id of the link in js popup that I want to click>")
assertText("<text I need to check>")
end
this method is then called in '.test' file, but never works for a javascript popup, for the rest its all good !
help !
Popups a lot of the time are in a different context, either a frame or a window. When you call assertText, Selenium ignores these. Use the switchTo function (not sure of exact syntax in ruby) to switch to the popup before calling assertText
In Ruby maybe we should use like this:
#driver.switch_to.alert.accept
