I need to automate the "Browse" button click from Selenium.
For this, I have tried
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"dnn_ctr383_View_filename\"]")).click();
and
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("Css path")).click();
Both gives me org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element: exception.
I have seen this link here where the author suggest to use AutoIT, but in step 2, the script, the author has created is for IE. Can someone please suggest, how I can automate the "Browse" button click in firefox?
Any help is much appreciated.
Directly send the file path to the id, like so
driver.findElement(By.id("dnn_ctr383_View_filename")).sendKeys("C:\\path\\to\\file");
The above step is the answer for your first two steps
Click on Browse
Select a file to upload
For the third step(click upload), looking at the screen capture I do not see any button which says "Upload". So just click "Save" and I assume that your file will successfully get uploaded.
There are two things that u need to consider here:
Clicking the browser button: Usually handled by an alert or popup, if the driver is not able to find the element by xpath(which u have acquired from firebug or chrome's inspect element) you should consider looking for iframes in the page source. If an element is in a different frame altogether , u need to switch frames in order to find the element like this
WebElement frame = driver.findElementById("name_of_iframe");
driver.switchTo().frame(fr);
now you can find your element using xpath or css selector like u did. Once completed u can move out of the frame by:- driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
Uploading the file from desktop: Since selenium works only on the html in the browser session u invoked from the driver, it can't perform operations on your desktop.Once you are able to click the browser button u can use Auto it(works only on windows) or Sikuli(works with mac, linux, windows and even android) to simulate your events based on the position of your upload button.
Hope this helps

I want to write a testcase for a webapplication with Robot framework and the selenium library. The situation is that when a button is clicked, a popup page is shown withtin the webpage.
This popup is inside an iframe and has it's own etc.
I have a test that verifies if the popup page is opened by searching for presence element x.
Things I have tried are:
1a. Select frame xpath=xpath iframe
1b. Element text should be xxx
2a. Switch window title=title of popup that can be found within the element.
2b. Element text should be xxx
In both situations the test fails. The popup page is opened but the error messages shown are:
Element with locator 'iframe' not found.
Unable to locate window with title 'xxx'.
I searched for similar problems but didn't find any solutions thats helps my case.
try this
Select Frame css:iframe[id^="PopupBoxIframe_"]
where id=yourid
to get back lateron you use
unselect frame
I want to get the attributes of a button when clicking on it, when using a Chromedriver component, for instance : exactly what I get when I right-click -> Inspect with my browser (Chrome or Firefox).
How can I can get such info, if it's possible, in view to replay a web session, after such memorizing with Selenium.
At the moment, I can simulate a click on a button, knowing it's CSS-selector, for instance.
I just want to know if I can get the CSS-SElector, using Selenium, and clicking by hand (human action, so), avoiding a pre right-click -> Inspect with a classical browser.
browser = new ChromeDriver();
browser.Navigate().GoToUrl("https:/twitter.com/EmiratesTeamNZ");
I want to get classname, or CSS-selector or Xpath of a like and retweet button being on the page, when I click on it.
This code, got here,don't work
browser.ExecuteAsyncScript("return window.getComputedStyle(document.querySelector('.SomeTitle .bar'),':before').getPropertyValue('content')");
Any idea ?
Tx a lot for your help.
My scenario which produces the question goes something like below:
I enter a webpage via normal means, next I press on a button, to start a HTML5 application on this webpage, this application is inside an iFrame. On application start I'm being prompted to either turn the sound on or off. At this point there are two possible outcomes:
1. When I answer this prompt manually, new buttons appear in the application window, as expected.
2. When I answer this prompt through automation via Appium, new buttons do not appear.
Now to the question:
To answer the prompt I use the click() method from Selenium. Is it possible that this click() is not considered to be executed by a human and therefore doesn't trigger necessary things? And since I don't have access to the source of the application can I force the Selenium click() to look exactly like a human click?
Here is the code I use to execute the mentioned click:
//Application loading up, hence the sleep
Thread.sleep(5000);
AppiumTestBase.getDriver().switchTo().frame("e_iframe");
Thread.sleep(5000);
WebElement soundOff = AppiumTestBase.getDriver().findElement(By.id("soundOff"));
AppiumTestBase.getStandardWaitTime().until(elementToBeClickable(soundOff));
soundOff.click();
The program is able to find and switch in to the iFrame, there are no cross-origin issues either. The AppiumTestBase is just there for initializing the driver, setup capabilities etc. I also tried clicking the element via Actions and JavaScript, but there was no change in behavior.
In C# a workaround I've found to actually take control of the mouse and move it/click with it is to use "Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting" for the Keyboard/Mouse libraries. From there, you can tell it "Mouse.Click(new Point(X, Y));"and it will move your mouse to that location and click.
Sample Code:
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting;
var soundOff = AppiumTestBase.getDriver().findElement(By.id("soundOff"));
Mouse.Click(new Point(soundOff.Bounds.X, soundOff.Bounds.Y));
I have a webpage where I click on a button and an open dialog it's opened and I should select the file to upload. After that, a pop up is displayed saying OK or KO.
I'm able to upload files when the there are files types. But in this case, the element where I click it's:
<
button type="button" read-file="_.partial(submitLang, selectedLang)" id="import-lang" class="btn btn-default"><
/button>
For the rest of the application, I use this and it works:
WebElement element = getPage().findElementById(id);
element.sendKeys(absoluteFile);
But for button types and button tag it doesn't work.
How can I do it? The tests are running on a Linux machine
Thanks a lot!

Hi all,
The whole process is: (see image at http://imageshack.com/a/img540/6237/JoTQng.png)
Click on Import button
A dialog is opened and I select a .json file and click Open
An alert is displayed saying "Text properties have been updated".
We are using angular for the frontend and all are REST calls.
We don't have any "file=type". All three are buttons. You can found more code at
http://imageshack.com/a/img633/7299/BQhP7o.png
For a file upload with selenium, you need to find an input tag with the type "file".
Have a look at your HTML and search for it.
When you found it, the rest is pretty straightforward:
Let's say this input-element has id="import"
driver.findElement(By.id("import")).sendKeys(absoluteFile);
If you run into problems, please post more of your HTML, then I can have a look at it.
In my case, clicking on the button made an element appear in the HTML code, I assume due to javascript.
I clicked on the element (which both opens a file upload window and adds the to the HTML), and immediately after send the keys to the input element.
This creates the problem of having to close the newly opened file upload window, however this is not a problem when using --headless mode on google chrome.
I do not have a solution to close this window if you are not in headless mode for your chosen browser.
I am using Selenium Webdriver to automate functional TC in Salesforce application.
Test Scenario:
- On a case page, clicking the "Lookup" i.e., search icon opens up standard Salesforce search popup. I need to input specific string to the search field and click "Go" button.
Although I am able to click on the Search button, the script fails to identify any field on the popup.
I used Alert(), getWindowHandle & iterator functions to verify if the driver is working on the popup window. Yes it is.. the popup is is the working window. I could able to confirm this using the Java id for the browser window. But still it fails to identify any fields.
Let me know if any of you faces similar issue and any solution.
Do let me know if you like to have access to my working sandbox. Would be able to manage it.
Thanks, Manju
I believe the problem is that the elements inside the popup window are in a frame. After switching to the new popup window you need to switch to the frame first before being able to access any of those elements using:
WebElement frameLocator = driver.findElement(By.id("searchFrame"));
driver.switchTo.frame(frameLocator);
Further to Bob's answer you'll also then need to switch to the "resultsFrame" in order to use any of the links returned by the search. Note that in order to switch to a sibling frame you must first go up to the parent of the frameset using:
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
(frameset guidance here: http://darrellgrainger.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/frames-and-webdriver.html)
With Selenium IDE:
I was able to select the Salesforce PopUP with this code:
Command:selectPopUp
Target:
Value: Your popUp title
And the result frame:
Command:selectFrame
Target: name=resultFrame
Value:
