colorbox check parent element exist - colorbox

i am using colorbox to open a window that appears a grid with categories. After select the check boxes i draw the categories at parent window.So far so good.
My problem is that before draw i check if the category exist in parent window but its not working
if($('#cat-2', window.parent.document).length==0)
$('#categories', window.parent.document).append(newdata);
Am i missing something.

if($('#cat-2', window.parent.document).length==0) is saying "do something if #cat-2 doesn't exist."
Maybe try simply if($('#cat-2', window.parent.document).length)

select element with changing xpath

Example Image
say I wanted to select the element with class=kbkey button red_selected sel. Its xpath from the example in the pic would be //*[#id="virtualKeysWrapper"]/div[3], so I have the following code:
WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="virtualKeysWrapper"]/div[3]'))).click()
However, the div position of this element would change everytime I refresh the site. Was wondering what should I do to successfully select the element with class=kbkey button red_selected sel successfully everytime?
Avoid using index position in XPath if at all possible for this very reason. Without knowing exactly what the rest of the DOM looks like, my best guess is that you could use the following expression:
//div[#id='virtualKeysWrapper']/div[#class='kbkey button red_selected sel']
Alternatively, you could use
//div[#id='virtualKeysWrapper']/div[#sel='true']

selenium python how to find and click element that change everytime

im trying to find an element with dinamic values , for example <span class="ms-Button-label label-175" id="id__177">Save</span> in inspect element, the id and class values tend to change for every refresh, how can i in this case find the element in selenium? i tried troguht xpath but seems doesnt work because can not find the path, i was thinking to find "Save" world torught always find by xpath but actually i dont know if im doing well : driver.find_element_by_xpath(//span(#.... but then? how can insert element if it changes everytime? thanks!
Something like this may work:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//span[text()="Save"]')
But this will fail, if there is more than one button with text "Save" on the page.
In that case you may try to find some specific outer element (div, form, etc.) which does not change and contains the button. Then find the button inside of it.
With few requests with driver:
specific_div = driver.find_element_by_id("my_specific_div")
button = specific_div.find_element_by_tag_name("span") # e.g. there is only one span in that div
Or with more specific xpath:
button = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[#class="some-specific-class"]/span[text()="Save"]')
If needed, search for more nested elements before the button, so you can get more narrow search field.
More examples in the docs.

Unable to access the element in the frame

I am still dipping my toes in selenium , I am SAP guy working on Selenium automation POC. my requirement is to click on the drop down and select a value from the droplist.
I have extensively looked at the previous posts but could not find any answers. I have tried all the suggestions from the post but nothing seems to be working for me.
Please can you help me how to access this drop down value.
HTML code is attached in the pic along with the element that I am trying to access
My selenium code :
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.name("SMFrame")));
System.out.println("TExt" + driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='file-type']")).getText());
Error:
error -- > no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//div[#class='file-type']"}
Image
Assuming you are correctly getting into the iframe
Right now you are selecting a div above the actual dropdown element (the select-dropdown tag). You may want to try changing your xpath to search for the tag like so:
//div[#class='file-dropdown']/select-dropdown
Also you should be creating a dropdown object like this. Then calling a method on it to select the dropdown option you are looking for:
Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='file-dropdown']/select-dropdown");
System.out.println(dropdown.selectByVisibleText("text that you are looking for in the options"));
This is a good explanation of how to do it: https://www.javatpoint.com/selenium-webdriver-handling-drop-downs

Parent-Child Checkbox in Material Checkbox

I have two cases that I want to implement:
[]Checkbox1
[]checkbox1.1
[]checkbox1.2
If I select parent node checkbox1 it should not select it's children.
If I select both the child, it should not select parent.
I am using mat checkboxes, any idea how it can be achieved.
I don't believe that Material Component has this logic it self, at leats yet, look here, there is an issue reported:
https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/issues/857
If you wanna extend the Material Check Button and add you the logic you can do it, have a look into this answer:

QTP - Checking dynamic pages

I'm trying to check if a value is contained in the innertext of a webelement but I'm having a little problem: frames seem to change at every refresh of the pages.
These are the steps I've recorded:
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_header").Image("Gestione Anagrafiche").Click<br>
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_appl").WebEdit("pdrBean.pdrPod").Set parameter("POD")<br>
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_appl").WebButton("Cerca").Click
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_appl_2").Image("show_files").Click
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_appl_6").Image("Lente").Click
cctype = Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_appl_7").WebElement("arrow_down").GetROProperty("innertext")<br>
DataAct = Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_appl_7").WebElement("arrow_down_2").GetROProperty("innertext")<br>
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_header").Image("Gestione Anagrafiche").Click
The frames "dme2_appl6" and "dme2_appl7" changes at every refresh of the two pages.
The question is simple: how can I rewrite these two actions to make them universal?
I've tried to do something like:
Set objFrame = Frame("title:=dme2_appl_.")
and then
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").objFrame.Image("Lente").Click
But QTP gives me an error in return: "property or method not supported by the object"
Please try using the below code
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Image("Lente").Click
Avoid using the "Frame" and if you really want to use it, put regex for name property of Frame.
Go to Object Properties--> Click on the Frame object --> Mandatory Properties--> Change name property as
like iFrame_213123123 to i.*
Hope this will solve your problem.
I don't think you can use a frame object that way. When you write Page().Frame() UFT sets the frame's parent in different way than if you first create the Frame.
Think of Frame() as a function that behaves differently when called on a Page or as a free function.
Try:
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("title:=dme2_appl_.")
