I am using gmaps4rails-1.3.0 to render a few maps in my rails-3.0.7 application. When the map loads, it already has a few markers set. The users get to select which type of markers they want to see by getting to click on a few checkboxes. This works fine in all versions of FF, Chrome and IE that I have checked.
So, now I wanted to write automated test cases to check this functionality. For this, I wrote rspec-2.6.0 request examples which are run through capybara-1.1.2 using the selenium-2.14.0 driver. The test is able to load the map fine with all of the markers showing up correctly. However, no markers are removed when the test unchecks one of the checkboxes. I inserted a debugger statement at the end of test and then checked the error console in the browser. It had the following message:
console is not defined
http://127.0.0.1:51643/javascripts/gmaps4rails/gmaps4rails.googlemaps.js?1323052026 Line 196
Checking the relevant file showed the following function:
Gmaps4RailsGoogle.prototype.clearMarker = function(marker) {
console.log(marker);
return marker.serviceObject.setMap(null);
};
I then noticed that during normal operation, a no. of such log messages are displayed in the firebug console. The selenium webdriver profile doesn't have firebug and nor do I expect all my users to have firebug.
Should a console.log() call be there in any javascript file post-development? If yes, what's the way to test it with a rendering driver, in particular with selenium?

As mentioned in the title, the following issue occurs since chrome was updated to v78. Before chrome v78 all tests worked just fine.
The behavior is highly nondeterministic, so please bear with me.
Meaning sometimes it just works out of a sudden, without any changes. Most of the clicks in the tests are working. Just some fail repeatedly (most of the time).
We are using selenium with the latest driver for chrome 78. The problem appeared first on driver version 77 with chrome 78 running.
Not the spec-flow tests nor the adapter-code has changed in any way, but after the Chrome update basically all tests failed.
Doing a Thread.Wait(1000) before EVERY CLICK seems to be the most reliable way to avoid the problem, and clicks the element as requested.
When im not waiting, the driver runs through the "Click", including the steps listed below, without actually clicking or throwing any error.
lookup of the element:
new WebDriverWait(this.webDriver, this.WaitTimeout).Until<IWebElement>(SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers.ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(by))
waiting for the element to be clickable:
wait.Until(SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers.ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(by));
scrolling towards the element:
((IJavaScriptExecutor) this.webDriver).ExecuteScript("window.scrollTo(0, " + (object) (e.Location.Y - 250) + ")");
and performing a click and release action on the element:
action.Click(element).Perform()
i have also tried several other variants of mouse clicks including the one from the comment.
Since the process just works through all this, without actually throwing an error or warning of any kind, i have no way of checking if the click actually happened (other than checking the current URL, which would be a nightmare to maintain in the tests).
So the website is not updating and remains on the source page and the test will fail because the next test doesn't run on the expected page.
now the question:
Is there anything i can query for or wait for to see whether the driver or chrome can actually click that element (really) or to verify that it was actually clicked?

I'm trying to write an automated test that will automate the process of updating a google chrome extension. I'm not aware of another method of doing this automatically so here is what I'm currently trying to do:
Open the chrome extensions page (as far as I'm aware this is just an html page unless I'm missing something).
Click on the "Update extensions" button
Here is what I have tried having opened the chrome extensions page:
IwebElement UpdateButton = driver.findelement(By.Id("update-extensions-now"));
UpdateButton.Click();
For some reason the button click is not registering. I have tried some other locators such as CSS path and Xpath but they don't work either. Also, when I debug this test, it passes fine so I know it's not an issue with any of my locators. I have (as a test) tried to automate clicks on the other elements on this page and it's the same issue. I can't get a handle on any elements on the chrome://extensions page at all.
Has anyone encountered this or have any ideas as to what's going on?
You can use the Chrome extensions API to auto-update required extension.
Find the file "manifest.json" in the default Google Chrome
C:\Users\*UserName*\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
There find the update URL of your extension:
{
"name": "My extension",
...
"update_url": "http://myhost.com/mytestextension/updates.xml",
...
}
The returned XML by the Google server looks like:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<gupdate xmlns='http://www.google.com/update2/response' protocol='2.0'>
<app appid='yourAppID'>
<updatecheck codebase='http://myhost.com/mytestextension/mte_v2.crx' version='2.0' />
</app>
</gupdate>
appid
The extension or app ID, generated based on a hash of the public key, as described in Packaging. You can find the ID of an extension or Chrome App by going to the Extensions page (chrome://extensions).
codebase
A URL to the .crx file.
version
Used by the client to determine whether it should download the .crx file specified by codebase. It should match the value of "version" in the .crx file's manifest.json file.
The update manifest XML file may contain information about multiple extensions by including multiple elements.
Another option is to use the --extensions-update-frequency command-line flag to set a more frequent interval in seconds. For example, to make checks run every 45 seconds, run Google Chrome like this:
chrome.exe --extensions-update-frequency=45
Note that this affects checks for all installed extensions and apps, so consider the bandwidth and server load implications of this. You may want to temporarily uninstall all but the one you are testing with, and should not run with this option turned on during normal browser usage.
The request to update each individual extension would be:
http://test.com/extension_updates.php?x=id%3DyourAppID%26v%3D1.1
You can find even more detailed information on exntesions developers site: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions
If you look at the HTML of the "chrome://extensions" page you will notice that the "Update extensions now" button is contained within an iframe. You need to switch to the iframe before trying to register a button click. i.e:
(This is in c#. Note that this code is written from memory so it may not be 100% accurate. Also, you will want to write more robust method. This code just quickly demonstrates that by switching to the iframe, it will work ok)
String ChromeExtensionsPage = "chrome://extensions";
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(ChromeExtensionsPage);
driver.Switchto().Frame("DesiredFrame");
IwebElement UpdateButton = driver.findelement(By.Id("DesiredButtonID"));
UpdateButton.Click();
I've written a website scraper for use in a project.
I'm controlling Firefox through Sahi using Mink to visit each site and interact with any elements where necessary. I've managed to get this working perfectly on all sites I've tried except for one...
I'm trying to get the markup from https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/phones/
I'm using the exact same code for this page, as I have for all others:
// Configure driver
$this->driver = new \Behat\Mink\Driver\SahiDriver('firefox',
new \Behat\SahiClient\Client(
new \Behat\SahiClient\Connection(null, CRAWL_SERVER, 9999)
)
);
// Init session:
$this->session = new \Behat\Mink\Session($this->driver);
// Start session:
$this->session->start();
// Open the url
$this->session->visit($config['url']);
// Get the markup from the page
$markup = $this->session->getPage()->getContent();
When I use this code to attempt to get the markup from https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/phones/ Mink just seems to hang, waiting for something to happen.
It would seem that maybe something on this page is preventing either Sahi or Mink from returning the markup. I've also tried running other functions instead of getContent(), such as $this->session->wait(2000); and attempting to search through getPage using the find command.
If anyone has any idea as to why this is happening I would be very interested in finding out why and how I can make this work.
tl;dr
Why is Mink/Sahi timing out on this site?
I'm trying to automate a scenario where I login to a site with two users on two different browsers where further interaction will then occur in the same test. It runs up to the point where Chrome has launched the URL and the recorded steps fail giving an error that web page cannot be accessed. The recorded steps do work on Chrome if they were separated out into its testmethod of its own.
BrowserWindow window;
window = BrowserWindow.Launch(new Uri("http://example.com"));
this.UIMap.ClickOnSignInLink();
this.UIMap.TypeInValidUserCredential();
this.UIMap.ClickOnSignInButton();
this.UIMap.AssertUserIsLoggedIn();
BrowserWindow window2;
BrowserWindow.CurrentBrowser = "Chrome";
window2 = BrowserWindow.Launch(new Uri("http://example.com"));
this.UIMap.ClickOnSignInLink();
this.UIMap.TypeInValidUserCredential();
this.UIMap.ClickOnSignInButton();
Test method FeaturesTest.LiveBidding threw exception:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.UITestControlNotAvailableException: The web page could not be accessed. If the page is refreshing, please wait until the page refreshes and then perform actions on it.
Only way i managed to do this is by closing the first browser. To do this you can do either of these below. Add this after IE job is finished and you want to switch to Chrome.
window.Close();
or initialize a new playback
if (Playback.IsInitialized)
{
Playback.Cleanup();
Playback.Initialize();
}
I am working on writing a story for a bdd framework which uses jbehave/selenium/webdriver and am having a problem where the test encounters an error while running the story but appears to be fine when running manually. I'm having a problem where javascript for the functionality I'm testing behaves slightly different when I'm running tests manually on firefox vs through selenium web driver on the same system/version of firefox and this difference is causing a js error.
I've debugged and basically the root of the problem appears to be that var request_XML_container = $('div_appendpoint_id'); returns something different when I'm running the test manually vs when I run through the bdd framework.
var request_XML_container = $('div_appendpoint_id');
request_XML_container.innerHTML = encoded_xml_from_request;
var pos = method_to_get_position('id_of_place_div_should_be_appended_to');
// JS exception is thrown saying that style is not defined **ONLY**
// when running through web driver. Running test manually on
// same system and same browser works fine.
request_XML_container.style.left = (pos[0] - 300) + 'px';
request_XML_container.style.top = (pos[1] + 25) + 'px';
request_XML_container.style.display = "block";
Why this would work fine when running manually that var request_XML_container = $('div_appendpoint_id'); would return an item with style defined, but when running through webdriver that the style attribute of the element would not be defined?
UPDATE: I had originally thought that this was updating an iframe, but I read the markup wrong and the iframe I saw is a sibling - not a parent - of the element where the response is being appended to. I'm trying to simply append the response to a div. To be honest, this only makes things more confusing as grabbing a div by id should be pretty straight forward and I'm now sure why webdriver would be producing a different return element in this situation.
UPDATE 2: Steps to reproduce and information about the system I'm on:
Use webdriver to navigate to this url: http://fiddle.jshell.net/C3VB5/11/show/
Have webdriver click the button. It should not work
Run your test again, but pause put a breakpoint at your code to click the driver
Click the button on the browser that webdriver opened. It should not work
Refresh the browser page on the browser that webdriver opened. Now, it should work.
System details:
OS : OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)
IDE : Eclipse Kepler: Build id: 20130614-0229
Browser (used manually and by webdriver) : Firefox 23.0.1
Selenium version: 2.35.0
UPDATE 3: I have provided this maven project on github to aid in reproducing: https://github.com/dkwestbr/WebdriverBug/tree/master/Webdriver
Synopsis/tl:dr; Basically, in certain situations it appears as though webdriver is overwriting the '$()' javascript method with a method that does not return an HTMLElement with innerHTML or style defined (among other things). This post details the issue and how to reproduce.
I have opened this ticket to track the issue: https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=6287&thanks=6287&ts=1379519170
I have confirmed that this is a bug with the Thucydides framework (understandable since they still aren't at a 1.0 release).
Issue can be tracked here: https://java.net/jira/browse/THUCYDIDES-203
