There's a webpage I'm trying to test that has multiple textboxes. Each textbox has its own specific validation message that is hidden.
Before an incorrect value is entered, I am use 'verifyNotVisible' in order to confirm that there is no validation message being shown to the user. This part passes just fine.
Afterwards, I have selenium type in invalid characters to make the validation message show.
The problem I'm having at this point is that while the validation message is visible to me, Selenium is still failing at the 'verifyVisible' line right after entering the invalid characters.
The following is what I have in Selenium:

Note that the validation messages are set to hidden prior to having invalid characters entered. Additionally, both 'assertValue' and 'verifyTextPresent' are passing before and after the validation message is being shown.
Does anyone know of a way to have Selenium pass the 'verifyVisible' portion correctly?
You may need to insert an appropriate wait period. If you are checking verifyVisible immediately after inserting your invalid character the modified DOM might not yet be there at the point your comparison is being made.
Take a look, for example, at Selenium's clickAndWait to see how to wrap an appropriate pause.

We have an Access form bound to a backend SQL Server database. When users enter text that exceeds the data limits for the respective data column that is bound to that form control, Access displays the "The text is too long to be edited" error. I think (but haven't been able to verify) that this is error # 2221.
I'd like to be able to trap this error to have a more user-friendly message. On researching (found this and this), some coders mentioned being able to trap that error in the Form_Error event, and I found a support article with a decent example of using the Form_Error event to trap errors here. But this doesn't work for me. The Form_Error event doesn't seem to fire during this error, although it seems to have fired in the previously-referenced threads when they successfully trapped the error this way. Someone in the threads mentioned that the error wasn't trappable before Access 2002, but is since Access 2002. I have Access 365!
Any insight into whether this error is actually trappable, or how I might approach this either within the Form_Error event or otherwise?
The only 'otherwise' approach I can suggest is to prevent error instead of trapping. Normally, Text (short text) type field will prevent typing more characters than the allowed limit. However, this fails with pasted text and the referenced error is triggered.
To deal with pasted text that might be more than 255 characters, consider a memo (long text) field or an UNBOUND textbox. Use ValidationRule and/or VBA code to validate input - don't let user leave control until entry meets requirements.
I tested copy/paste and control's BeforeUpdate event was triggered.
A ValidationRule like Len([myControl])=10 Or Is Null on a memo field or UNBOUND control works with typed or pasted input.
I am trying to check to see if buttons are present on a page. The number of buttons varies depending on the type of account that logs in. The code below returns true, so I know that the xpath is working.
Boolean WorkspacePresent = driver2.findElement(By.xpath("//body/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/form[1]/section[1]/input[1]")).isEnabled();
However, I need to make sure that the value is also included, since this just checks how many buttons are there. If I wanted to check for a "Workspace" button, could I still use Find By Xpath?
To identify the Workspacebutton button use following xpath.Similar way you can identify other button.
driver2.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#name='Workspacebutton' and value='Workspace']"))
I was creating a report but I seem to have made a mistake somewhere.
Whenever I try to run my report, I get "An error occurred... Specify a valid URL. Report URLs may use only http://..."
I narrowed it down to the 3 text boxes that are causing me this problem (as in if I delete these text boxes, the report runs normally.) These were text boxes that I have a click action taking it to another report. I've inspected these textboxes in every possible way and I do not see what is causing it to say invalid URL. Nowhere am I specifying a URL. I do have it go to a different report on click action, but not to a URL...
Does anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: When I change the action from Go to report to None, it works which strange since there is nothing about a URL. The most confusing part is that I have other text boxes that do this exact same thing where if you click on them, it will go to that same exact report. I cannot figure out why those work and these don't.
I have registration form for which I am trying to create a script.If we don't enter any value in any of the fields and click submit, it is showing a dynamic error message that "Please fill out this field!"
There is no div tag for this text. Moreover, if we click anywhere on the screen, it is disappearing. Can anyone tell, how to read this text?
Thank you.
When the field is marked as required, the Browser shows the message when the form is submitted. There is no way available for you to access it.
You can handle it within your test code by checking that all required fields are entered before submit is called.
I've worked on multiple web-scraping projects using Excel VBA before, but I haven't encountered this problem before. I've been googling the issue for the past few hours, but I haven't found a solution yet.
Scenario:
My webpage consists of a list-box and a text box that acts as a filter/search. Unfortunately, I can't disclose the webpage information, but somewhere in the list box elements I saw the word "JQuery". After creating an HTMLInputElement, I set it to text box object and changed its value to "TEXT". I expected the list to get update, but nothing happened. I tried to use different approaches, but they all failed.
Text_Field.Focus
Text_Field.FireEvent "onclick"
Text_Field.Value = "TEXT"
Text_Field.Click
I managed to put the text in the text box, but the clicking part does not work. When I do it manually, as soon as I type the phrase into the text box, the list gets updated immediately. Any thoughts or suggestions?
I tried to simulate the "enter key" press, but it didn't work either.
Your help will be appreciated.
Best,
Arman
Event won't fire when you operate elements programmatically. you have to simulate the events too, using document.createEventObject/inputElement.fireEvent (IE8 or lower) or document.createEvent/inputElement.dispatchEvent (IE9+).
What event you need to fire depends on what the script is interested in (onkeypress, onblur, onpaste, etc).
