Hope you are doing well.
The default sendkey method of selenium is somehow slow and I learnt from here that I could use "driver.execute_script" to make faster input.
For most of the sites, ""driver.execute_script" works perfectly but recently I found that for some sites, "driver.execute_script" would input the text but if I press Enter or click anywhere afterward, the text will disspeared.
Below is sample of my code:
driver.get("https://www.apple.com/hk/en")
driver.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, "Shopping Bag").click()
time.sleep(0.5)
driver.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, "Sign in").click()
time.sleep(0.5)
driver.execute_script('document.getElementById("recon-0-0").value="abc#abc.com"')
Does anybody knows whether it is restriction of the website or problem of my code?
Thank you for your help.
I looked into this and essentially it is site-side. Seems like rather than an onValueChanged() they are using something like onInput(). Since changing the value directly is not an input action the attribute updates are not triggered (including the actual value). These include:
.class=" form-textbox-input form-textbox-entered", .aria-describedby=" signin-info-id", but most importantly--.aria-invalid="false".
So, in short, changing the value directly makes it fail validation.
.send_keys() does work as expected

I'm trying to click on some element but it's not working:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[text()='ENG']")
When I add:
driver.maximize_window()
before click action, it works, other codes are not working again.
I had similar problem
When I was looking for an element, it was not yet available in the code.
Fixed by adding
driver.implicitly_wait(30) ## 30 is the time he will wait
before searching for the element.
This line makes the code wait until the entire page is loaded before looking for an element.
I'm trying to click on some element via driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[text()='ENG']"), but it's not working,
You need to post logs or be more specific. Are you getting an error on the call to find_element_by_xpath(), or when you call click as you mention below?
when I add driver.maximize_window() before click action, it works,
other codes are not working again, please advise which can be the
reason
The relevant code needs to be provided. I believe you're saying that when you call maximize_window() before you locate the element, it works, but if you don't call maximize window, it fails. This could be for a variety of reasons, but it sounds Javascript related. A similar question like this this could help. If maximize window doesn't actually help the issue, I would look into implicit waits or WebDriverWaits.
I'm trying to automate a procedure on a really old IE-only webpage and, at one point, it raises an alert.
I can't inspect it using IE (or don't know how) but there's only an "accept" button (actually an image) and the alert text can't be copied (not sure why).
I'm using selenium with the IE drivers and i can't get past this alert.
Selenium IS detecting the alert, but when i check its contents i get nothing.
I've tried accepting the alert with
alert_obj = self.br.switch_to.alert
alert_obj.accept()
and also
.dismiss();
.send_key(Keys.ENTER)
and some other things. Am i missing something?
photo of alert:
alerts are generic dialog boxes that include a text and ok button. If your alert has an image as button, then it is not an alert, but something else. I don't know what it is, but not an alert.
This is an alert:
If this popup is an alert, you can handle it while initializing driver itself. Below is C# Code for that:
InternetExplorerOptions options = new InternetExplorerOptions
{
UnhandledPromptBehavior = UnhandledPromptBehavior.Accept,
};
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(options);
Above code should handle alert. if not, try adding this code before creating driver instance.
options.AddAdditionalCapability("browserstack.ie.enablePopups", "accept");

How to close yet another chrome popup using python selenium
To moderators: I tried to flag this question as Duplicate, but then, when I typed "How to close yet another chrome popup using python selenium" into the search bar it found no results.
I somehow managed to do it.
I tried everything and everything was buggy. I even had to use this weird loop because just using a time.sleep() call was bugging things up. I really don't know what happened. Sometimes when entering the page the pop-up handle would appear and sometimes not. Sometimes in the wrong place. Sometimes it wouldn't close properly. I tried a pile of different ways and this one seems to work:
Here's what i did:
#Saves ID from original window
janelaOriginal = self.br.current_window_handle
#Go to the website
self.br.get(url)
#waits 2.5 seconds for the pop-up (time.sleep bugs)
i = 0
while(i < 25):
i += 1
time.sleep(0.1)
#is pop-up open?:
if(len(self.br.window_handles)>1):
#handle sometimes appears in the wrong place so this is necessary:
if(janelaOriginal==self.br.window_handles[0]):
self.br.switch_to_window(self.br.window_handles[1])
else:
self.br.switch_to_window(self.br.window_handles[0])
#close the pop-up and go back to the original window
self.br.close()
self.br.switch_to_window(janelaOriginal)
#do stuff
return
#do other stuff
I am in a project in which I am making a modular behavior driven framework for the company I am working right now. In making a modular approach of the step "user accepts alert", when I test it and came an expected alert box, it automatically closes itself and therefore shows this "NoAlertPresentException: Message: No alert is present" exception.
I have done this codes so far:
def acceptalert():
alert = driver.switch_to.alert
alert.accept()
driver.switch_to.parent_frame()
This code snippet works as I have those modules in which I incorporated the closing of alert box. The only problem is just when I try to make this one a standalone module in my framework. I have done research with this one but I really never got my problem answered. I hope there will be one in here who can help me. Thank you very much.
Found the answer. Thank you. I implemented the step "user clicks '' button" where is the value of the button being matched with a series of xpath and if the xpath returns zero match, then it fetches the available iframes and loops inside each one. When the xpath still returned zero matches, then it switches back to the main frame with this peace of code:
driver.switch_to.parent_frame()
The side effect with this one is it will dismiss the alert boxes. My problem is solved. Thanks everyone.
I'm new to coding using python and it's libraries, and also new to stackoverflow so I apologize if I'm not acquainted to some things.
Anyway to the question. I'm trying to write code that automates playing a video from the website that. Here's an example link:
http://www.shush.se/index.php?id=164&show=southpark
I've tried these methods:
driver.find_element_by_id("playerload").click()
driver.find_elements_by_xpath("./html/body/table/tbody/tr/td/div[#id='load']/div[#class='player']/div[#id='playerload']/div[1]")
But nothing happens. The program exits without error but the video does not
start playing.
I tried clicking a the id "jw6playerid5040619_wrapper" but the number associated with that changes every time a page loads.
Any advice? Thanks in advance!
Even though you don't know the exact id, you know that it will start with "jw6playerid". The following works for me:
elements = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[contains(#id, 'jw6playerid')]")
elements[0].click()
I designed a character creation page, and included a bit where a person can input their name with ui.input() but the problem is, they can't push any buttons or do anything at all without submitting the text first and I am trying to figure out how to turn this ui.input into a clickable so it is only active when its selected.
Then engine has a page on the ui.input (and includes explaining that the button arg is possible) but it doesn't really give me any other example other than button=None. and anything else I try, the game won't even load.
Sorry if this is a really noob question. Seems like the most simple thing.
This is what I have for that part if it helps..
ui.input('', xalign=0.5, yalign=0.5)
first_name = ui.interact()
How about creating a character creation screen and using a graphic button?
In a custom screen, you can control everything using buttons and code, which is, in some senses, outside of your story.
