get image button with pywinauto

I want to click on the green plus button with pywinauto but I can't get the element.
I able to get the window with top_windows = Desktop(backend="uia")['Text File Export']
But then I see only the ListBox without the buttons that located above
top_windows.print_control_identifiers()
Control Identifiers:
Dialog - 'Text File Export' (L2198, T308, R2817, B1033)
['Dialog', 'Text File ExportDialog', 'Text File Export']
child_window(title="Text File Export", control_type="Window")
|
| Pane - 'Files to export' (L2206, T337, R2809, B503)
| ['Pane', 'Files to export', 'Files to exportPane', 'Pane0', 'Pane1']
| child_window(title="Files to export", auto_id="1578672", control_type="Pane")
| |
| | ListBox - '' (L2223, T380, R2792, B490)
| | ['ListBox', 'ListBox0', 'ListBox1']
| | child_window(auto_id="466446", control_type="List")
|
| Pane - 'File format' (L2203, T509, R2806, B959)
| ['Pane2', 'File formatPane', 'File format']
| child_window(title="File format", auto_id="599282", control_type="Pane")
Any idea how to click on the plus button?
Thanks!

Have you tried running your_variable.print_control_identifiers() method after assigning the element with auto_id 1578672 to a variable named your_variable?
Edit:
So you may need to click somewhere for the elements there to be available.
Your can try this.
app.Dialog.print_control_identifiers()
panel = app.Dialog.child_window(auto_id="1578672", control_type="Pane").wrapper_object()
panel.click_input()
app.Dialog.print_control_identifiers()

Output format of subprocess python

I'm trying to keep the format generated by a command to see all wordpress plugin list.
my script is :
import subprocess
r = open("/tmp/resultplugin", "w")
f = open("path/to/my/list", "r")
for x in f:
x = x.rstrip()
bashCommand = "wp plugin list --allow-root"
process = subprocess.Popen(bashCommand, cwd=x, shell=True, stdout=r)
output, error = process.communicate()
The output of the command when launched directly on the bash shell :
| name | status | update | version |
+---------------------------------+----------+-----------+------------+
| plugin name | inactive | none | 5.2.2 |
| plugin name | active | none | 10.4.0 |
| plugin name | inactive | none | 5.65 |
| plugin | inactive | none | 9.4.8 |
The output when i redirect the output in a file :
name status update version
plugin name inactive none 5.2.2
plugin name active none 10.4.0
plugin name inactive none 5.65
plugin name inactive none 9.4.8
I have hard time to find how to keep the same format, or at least have a little bit more visibility as it's very hard to read in the file
Can someone explain me how i can format the output to the file correctly ?
Thank you

pywinauto - Getting property text

I'm using pywinauto and I want to select text from one of the properties. However, I can't figure out how to access it.
import pywinauto
pwa_app = pywinauto.application.Application()
path = r'C:\Users\me\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\vpnui.exe'
pwa_app.start(path)
w_handle = pywinauto.findwindows.find_windows(title=u'Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client', class_name='#32770')[0]
window = pwa_app.window_(handle=w_handle)
window.SetFocus()
window.print_control_identifiers(2)
Control Identifiers:
Dialog - 'Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client' (L1421, T493, R1854, B690)
['Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client', 'Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility ClientDialog', 'Dialog']
child_window(title="Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client", class_name="#32770")
|
| #32770 - '' (L1441, T535, R1834, B647)
| ['#32770', 'VPN:#32770']
| child_window(class_name="#32770")
|
| Static - 'VPN:' (L1527, T548, R1551, B561)
| ['Static', 'VPN:Static', 'VPN:', 'Static0', 'Static1']
| child_window(title="VPN:", class_name="Static")
|
| ComboBox - 'Brock AppDMZ VPN' (L1527, T594, R1719, B615)
| ['ComboBox', 'Connected to Brock AppDMZ VPN.ComboBox', 'VPN:ComboBox', 'ComboBox0', 'ComboBox1', 'Connected to Brock AppDMZ VPN.ComboBox0', 'Connected to Brock AppDMZ VPN.ComboBox1']
| child_window(title="Brock AppDMZ VPN", class_name="ComboBox")
|
| Edit - 'Brock AppDMZ VPN' (L1530, T597, R1699, B612)
| ['Connected to Brock AppDMZ VPN.Edit', 'Edit']
| child_window(title="Brock AppDMZ VPN", class_name="Edit")
|
| ComboBox - '' (L1527, T594, R1719, B615)
| ['ComboBox2', 'Connected to Brock AppDMZ VPN.ComboBox2']
| child_window(class_name="ComboBox")
I want to access the value "Connected to Brock AppDMZ VPN" in order to determine whether I'm connected to my VPN but the documentation on this library isn't super clear about how to do this.

The output of print_control_identifiers() is incomplete (the target text label is not listed here, there are 3 static texts on the window), but fortunately I have the same Cisco VPN client on my PC. The problem is that this "static" text is dynamic. :) There are 2 ways how to handle this situation.
1) Just create a window specification and check if this window exists:
connected_label = window.child_window(title="Connected to Brock AppDMZ VPN.", class_name="Static")
# default timeout is pywinauto.timings.Timings.window_find_timeout (5 sec.)
if connected_label.exists(timeout=10):
pass # do whatever you want
2) Rely on the number of this static text and check its text every time you need the status of connection:
label = window.child_window(class_name="Static", found_index=1).wait('exists')
if label.window_text() == "Connected to Brock AppDMZ VPN.":
pass # do whatever you want

label = window.child_window(class_name="Static", found_index=1).wait('exists')
print label.get_value()
Try this, <element>.get_value() hope this will get you the text required.

Python's Subprocess removing Mysql columns and spacing

Specifically, I am using:
Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 24 2008, 13:47:28)
[GCC 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-14)] on linux2
I am trying to get the raw result of a mysql query with the column names and borders. Here is the raw command being run in bash:
[root#machine ~]# mysql -u root -e 'show databases;'
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| dbA |
| dbB |
| dbC |
+--------------------+
I am having trouble storing this value into a variable in Python:
import subprocess
cmd_array = ["mysql", "-u", "root", "-e", "show databases"]
p = subprocess.Popen(cmd_array)
raw_data = p.communicate()[0]
# Console outputs:
# +--------------------+
# | Database |
# +--------------------+
# | dbA |
# | dbB |
# | dbC |
# +--------------------+
#
# raw_data is None
p = subprocess.Popen(cmd_array, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
rawData = p.communicate()[0]
print rawData
# Console outputs:
# Database
# dbA
# dbB
# dbC
#
# rawData is "Database\ndbA\ndbB\ndbC"
What is the best way to store the pretty printed version of the mysql output in a python variable?

You need to use -t:
p = check_output(["mysql" ,"-u" ," root", "-t" ,"-e", 'show databases;'])
print(p)
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql |
| performance_schema |
| world |
+--------------------+
You can also use check_output to store the output.

mysql operates differently depending on whether it is being called from a console (pseudo-terminal, pty) or being called from another program. When called from another program, it is purposefully terse for easier parsing. One way to think about it is that
"Database\ndbA\ndbB\ndbC"
is the raw result and
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| dbA |
| dbB |
| dbC |
+--------------------+
is a pretty-printed result for people.
I have no idea what a "column visible string" is, but if you want to process the data in your program, you got the easily parsed result you want.
If you really do want the fancy print version, you can use the pexpect or pty modules to emulate a terminal. Here's an example:
>>> import pexpect
>>> import subprocess
>>> child = pexpect.spawn('mysql -e "show databases"')
>>> child.expect(pexpect.EOF)
0
>>> print child.before
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| test |
+--------------------+

Looks like mysql uses isatty() to determine if STDOUT is a terminal which then modifies the output.
I can get the table borders by specifying the --table or -t option:
cmd_array = ["mysql", "-t", "-u", "root", "-e", "show databases"]

Python/Django/MySQL "Incorrect string value" error

I'm running a Django 1.4.2/Python 2.7.3/MySQL 5.5.28 site. One of the features of the site is that the admin can send an email to the server which calls a Python script via procmail that parses the email and tosses it into the DB. I maintain two versions of the site - a development and a production site. Both sites use different but identical vitualenvs (I even deleted them both and reinstalled all packages just to make sure).
I'm experiencing a weird issue. The exact same script succeeds on the dev server and fails on the production server. It fails with this error:
...django/db/backends/mysql/base.py:114: Warning: Incorrect string value: '\x92t kno...' for column 'message' at row 1
I'm well aware of the unicode issues Django has, and I know there are a ton of questions here on SO about this error, but I made sure to setup the database as UTF-8 from the beginning:
mysql> show variables like "character_set_database";
+------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+------------------------+-------+
| character_set_database | utf8 |
+------------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> show variables like "collation_database";
+--------------------+-----------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------+-----------------+
| collation_database | utf8_general_ci |
+--------------------+-----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Additionally, I know that each column can have its own charset, but the message column is indeed UTF-8:
mysql> show full columns in listserv_post;
+------------+--------------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+---------------------------------+---------+
| Field | Type | Collation | Null | Key | Default | Extra | Privileges | Comment |
+------------+--------------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+---------------------------------+---------+
| id | int(11) | NULL | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | select,insert,update,references | |
| thread_id | int(11) | NULL | NO | MUL | NULL | | select,insert,update,references | |
| timestamp | datetime | NULL | NO | | NULL | | select,insert,update,references | |
| from_name | varchar(100) | utf8_general_ci | NO | | NULL | | select,insert,update,references | |
| from_email | varchar(75) | utf8_general_ci | NO | | NULL | | select,insert,update,references | |
| message | longtext | utf8_general_ci | NO | | NULL | | select,insert,update,references | |
+------------+--------------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+---------------------------------+---------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Does anyone have any idea why I'm getting this error? Why is it happening under the production config but not the dev config?
Thanks!
[edit 1]
To be clear, the data are the same as well. I send a single email to the server, and procmail sends it off. This is what the .procmailrc looks like:
VERBOSE=off
:0
{
:0c
| <path>/dev/ein/scripts/process_new_mail.py dev > outputdev
:0
| <path>/prd/ein/scripts/process_new_mail.py prd > outputprd
}
There are 2 copies of process_new_mail.py, but that's just because it's version controlled so that I can maintain two separate environments. If I diff the two output files (which contain the message received), they're identical.
[edit 2]
I actually just discovered that both dev and prd configs are failing. The difference is that the dev config fails silently (maybe having to do with the DEBUG setting?). The problem is that there are some unicode characters in one of the messages, and Django is choking on them for some reason. I'm making progress....
I've tried editing the code to explicitly encode the message as ASCII and UTF-8, but it's still not working. I'm getting closer, though.

I fixed it! The problem was that I wasn't parsing the email correctly with respect to the charsets. My fixed email parsing code comes from this post and this post:
#get the charset of an email
#courtesy http://ginstrom.com/scribbles/2007/11/19/parsing-multilingual-email-with-python/
def get_charset(message, default='ascii'):
if message.get_content_charset():
return message.get_content_charset()
if message.get_charset():
return message.get_charset()
return default
#courtesy https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7166922/extracting-the-body-of-an-email-from-mbox-file-decoding-it-to-plain-text-regard
def get_body(message):
body = None
#Walk through the parts of the email to find the text body.
if message.is_multipart():
for part in message.walk():
#If part is multipart, walk through the subparts.
if part.is_multipart():
for subpart in part.walk():
if subpart.get_content_type() == 'text/plain':
#Get the subpart payload (i.e., the message body).
charset = get_charset(subpart, get_charset(message))
body = unicode(subpart.get_payload(decode=True), charset)
#Part isn't multipart so get the email body.
elif part.get_content_type() == 'text/plain':
charset = get_charset(subpart, get_charset(message))
body = unicode(part.get_payload(decode=True), charset)
#If this isn't a multi-part message then get the payload (i.e., the message body).
elif message.get_content_type() == 'text/plain':
charset = get_charset(subpart, get_charset(message))
body = unicode(message.get_payload(decode=True), charset)
return body
Thanks very much for the help!
