I am trying to do mouse over an element in IE9 browser. After mouse
hover a toll tip will open. To do this I am using:
selenium.mouseOver("css=a.worldwide");
It works fine, in FF browser. But fails in IE browser. I am using:
Selenium RC 2.18.0. I have also try this by both Xpath and CSS
locator. But it fails.
Can any body please help me how can I resolve this issue?
This may be not answer to your question but may help you.
getAttribute("css=a.worldwide#title")); // getAttribute(locator#attribute name)
This function will return the text available for title attribute for the element specified.
Regards
Using javascript/jQuery I managed to work around the problem:
selenium.eval('selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().jQuery("a.worldwide").trigger("mouseover");')
I'm using python, so you may need to adjust quotes.
I have no idea what jQuery does that selenium doesn't, but this made the problem go away for me on Saucelabs & Selenium 1.

I am writing an automated test and want to report bugs, if occur, directly in the repo at GitHub. The step which fails in my program is the Submit new issue button from GitHub Issue Tracker.
Here is the code:
WebElement sendIssue = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[5]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div[3]/button"));
sendIssue.click();
And the exception:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Element is not clickable at
point (883, 547.7999877929688). Other element would receive the click:
div class="modal-backdrop"></div
The following command also does not work:
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", sendIssue);
How can I make it clickable? Is there any other way by which I can resolve this issue?
This is happening because when selenium is trying to click ,the desired element is not clickable.
You have to make sure that the Xpath provided by you is absolutely right.If you are sure about the Xpath then try the following
replace
WebElement sendIssue = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[5]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div[3]/button"));
sendIssue.click();
with
WebElement sendIssue =(WebElement)new WebDriverWait(DRIVER,10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("/html/body/div[5]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div[3]/button")));
sendIssue.click();
If that doesn't work ,You will get an Timeout exception, In that case try incaresing the timeout amount from 10 to 20.
If it still doesn't work please post a screenshot of the HTML.
You need to write something in the issue title and description to make the issue clickable are you sure you are not making that mistake of clicking the button without writing anything in those places I am adding screenshot for your convenience.
Selenium Webdriver introduced in a previous version (v2.48) a new behavior that prevent clicks on elements that may be overlapped for something else (a fixed header or footer - for example) or may not be at your viewport (visible area of the webpage within the browser window).
You can see the debate here.
To solve this you will need to scroll (up or down) to the element you're trying to click.
One approach would be something like this post:
Page scroll up or down in Selenium WebDriver (Selenium 2) using java
Another, and maybe more reasonable, way to create a issue on Github, would be using their API. Maybe it would be good to check out!

Gook luck.
This worked for me. Instead of HTML browser this would be useful if we perform intended Web Browser
// Init chromedriver
String chromeDriverPath = "/Path/To/Chromedriver" ;
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromeDriverPath);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--headless", "--disable-gpu", "--window-size=1920,1200","--ignore-certificate-errors");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
I am unable to interact with an element using browser tests. It says the element is not interact-able, or not visible. This doesn't happen in Acceptance
Sometimes this solution doesn't work because the element is unavailable for some other cryptic reason.
We just had a situation where we couldn't use a <select> element to pick one of the options.
Further more, there was behaviour that was being triggered by the "change" event when the option was selected.
We were able to solve it like this.
$js = "jQuery('#chosen-option-quantity-2').val('2').trigger('change');";
$I->executeJS($js);
so the first command selects the option, and the second triggers the change event.
I hope that helps some one, even if it is me in the future.
The problem that is happening here is that the html element is being hidden by something, probably css somewhere. Because it is hidden (display:none), WebDriver can't see it, and therefore can't interact with it.
In order to fix this problem, you need to use JS to un-hide the element.
use this $I->executeJS('jQuery("#your-css-selector").show()');
This doesn't happen in Acceptance tests because PHP Browser looks at the Page Source, and so can see everything, while WebDriver see's what a user see's on the browser.
You may use PhpBrowser
It works only with HTML then how PhantomJs emulate the real browser
But, with PhpBrowser you can't see what see your browser (only HTML such I said)
Another way, try executeJs with PhantomJs as it said before
I am trying to automate a webpage using webdriver,here i am struck with a iframe,which i dont know how to handle.
While i choose css for the iframe by selecting with ,it gives me #xEditingArea
again if I search the same iframe using the css or id,it is not identifying anything.
I tried everything
I want to write some message with the message body which is iframe.
Can anyone guide me how to handle this?
Thanks in advance.
If it is only one iFrame on your website you could try to access it with XPath and the tagname.
Directly accessing iframes is not possible, it has its own DOM elements and we have to switch to that particular frame and then perform the actions you want.
To select the iframe you want to work with, do:
driver.switchTo().frame("frame1");
Now, your driver set to work with the DOM the iframe one.
It's important to remember that maybe switching "back" will be needed. It's done like this:
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
Using Python Selenium WebDriver, you can access a frame using:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.switch_to_frame("fame_name_or_id")
If you want to confirm that the frame was access correctly, just print out the page contents using:
print browser.page_source
Hej Guys
I an using google visualization api to draw stacked bar chart. Its all fine but now i want to test it with selenium but having a hard time finding the elements in the google chart.
For example i want to click on the chart element but everytime i try to find an element by xpath i get exception "OpenQA.Selenium.NoSuchElementException: The element could not be found"
I read that with selenium its tricky to click on the svg images.
Is there anybody who know a solution cuz i m kind of desprate and i havent find a suitable solution on the net by myself.
My chart looks like this:
http://i48.tinypic.com/21o4swx.png
What i am trying todo is:
webdriver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://localhost:59777/Tests/TestsMainView");
IWebElement element = webdriver.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/div/div[2]/div[2]/iframe/html/body/div/svg/g[2]/g/g[2]/rect[5]"));
Actions myAction = new Actions(webdriver);
myAction.Click(element).Perform();
Thread.Sleep(9999);
Thanks :)
Here is some advice that may help you. First your second line of code is should be
WebElement element = webdriver.FindElement(By.xpath("//img[contains(#src,'http://i48.tinypic.com/21o4swx.png')]"))
You had "IWebElement" (this was probably just a typo in your question). I changed the way the element is found searching for matching element instead of starting at the top level and working down. This is a better practice to narrow down the element you are attempting to interact with so that changes to the code don't instantly break your test. Also unless you start an xpath expression off with "//" or "xpath=" selenium Webdriver will not recognize it so even if your path never changed selenium Webdriver wouldn't be able to find it.
If I understand what you are trying to do then you can also remove lines 3-5 and replace them with the following,
element.click();
This will have selenium Webdriver zoom in on the chart provided by your link. I hope this helps
I noticed xpath cannot select anything within an svg tag. I managed to find elements using className or tagName selectors instead or you could even try cssSelectors but I am not sure about that one. Note that you can still use xpath to access parents of a node inside an svg using:
By.xpath("..");
Hope that will help.
I'd like to be able to test the content in CKeditor using webdriver.
However there are some hurdles; firstly CKeditor uses Iframes, and there are several Iframes on the page, so not sure how to switch reliably to it using WebDriver as they don't have specific names.
In addition, the content inside the editor is within a <body></body> tag inside the iframe. I'm not sure how to get WebDriver to return the content reliably.
Has anyone actually tried to do this in their tests? If so, how did you achieve it?
Thanks.
You can use the CKEditor api and execute javascript. Not sure which selenium driver you are using but here is the java script you can use to get the HTML for:
"return CKEDITOR.instances['youreditoridhere'].getData();"
