I need to open a new browser tab in my test and I've read that the best approach is to simply send the appropriate keys to the browser. I'm using windows so I use ActionChains(driver).send_keys(Keys.CONTROL, "t").perform(), however, this does nothing.
I tried the following to test that Keys.CONTROL is working properly:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
def test_trial():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
ActionChains(driver).send_keys(Keys.CONTROL, "v").perform()
This indeed passes whatever I have copied in the clipboard to the Google search box that is in focus by default.
This is what I want to use but that is not working:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
def test_trial():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
ActionChains(driver).send_keys(Keys.CONTROL, "t").perform()
Nothing seems to happen to the browser, no new tab opened, no dialog box, no notification. Does anyone know why this is?
Try this java Script Executor it should work.
link="https://www.google.com"
driver.execute_script("window.open('{}');".format(link))
Edited code with window handle.
driver=webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
window_before = driver.window_handles[0]
link="https://www.google.com"
driver.execute_script("window.open('{}');".format(link))
window_after = driver.window_handles[1]
driver.switch_to.window(window_after)
driver.find_element_by_name("q").send_keys("test")
try executing this script:
driver.execute_script("window.open('https://www.google.com');")
for example
myURL = 'https://www.google.com'
driver.execute_script("window.open('" + myURL + "');")
You’ve gotten some good answers utilizing JavaScript execution, but I am curious why your example doesn’t work in the first place.
It’s possible that your ActionChains line is executed before the page has fully loaded; you could try adding a wait as follows:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
def test_trial():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
try:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located(By.TAG_NAME("body")))
ActionChains(driver).send_keys(Keys.CONTROL, "t").perform()

i have code it opens website in chrome for this code but it does not go further
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:\Drivers\chromedriver_win32 (2)\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get('https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login')
driver.find_element("username").send_keys("Admin")
driver.find_element("password").send_keys("admin123")
driver.close()
Result this one
i need answer how to solve this problem
The way you are initializing your webdriver and selecting the input elements seem to be the problem.
Try doing it this way instead.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
driver.get('https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login')
time.sleep(3)
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[#name='username']").send_keys("Admin")
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[#name='password']").send_keys("admin123")
time.sleep(3)
driver.close()

I am doing a simple experiment with Amazon and Webdriver. However, using Webdriver Headless cannot find elements and errors out, but non-headless works.
Any suggestions how to get it working headless?
There is a comment right above the --headless flag.
from selenium import webdriver
import sys
import os
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
def get_inventory(url):
chrome_options = Options()
# Making it headless breaks. Commenting
# this line, making it non-headless works.
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
chrome_options.add_experimental_option(
"prefs", {'profile.managed_default_content_settings.javascript': 2})
chrome_options.binary_location = '/Applications/Google Chrome Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome Canary'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=os.path.abspath(
'chromedriver'), chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.set_window_size(1200, 1000)
try:
driver.get(url)
add_to_cart_button_xp = '//*[#id="add-to-cart-button"]'
add_to_cart_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath(add_to_cart_button_xp)
add_to_cart_button.click()
driver.get('https://www.amazon.com/gp/cart/view.html/ref=lh_cart')
qty_field_xp = '//div/input[starts-with(#name, "quantity.") and #type="text"]'
qty_field = driver.find_element_by_xpath(qty_field_xp)
qty_field.clear()
qty_field.send_keys("2")
update_link_xp = f'//input[#value="Update" and #type="submit"]'
update_link = driver.find_element_by_xpath(update_link_xp)
update_link.click()
url = 'https://www.amazon.com/Pexio-Professional-Stainless-Food-Safe-Dishwasher/dp/B07BGBSY9F'
get_inventory(url)
I think you just had some selector issues. I checked the elements and updated the quantity setting; everything else should be pretty much the same, aside from the binary locations.
from selenium import webdriver
import sys
import os
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
def get_inventory(url):
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
executable_path='/usr/bin/chromedriver',
chrome_options=chrome_options,
)
chrome_options.add_experimental_option(
"prefs",
{'profile.managed_default_content_settings.javascript': 2},
)
chrome_options.binary_location = '/usr/bin'
driver.set_window_size(1200, 1000)
try:
driver.get(url)
driver.save_screenshot("/tmp/x1.png")
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="add-to-cart-button"]').click()
driver.get('https://www.amazon.com/gp/cart/view.html/ref=lh_cart')
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[#data-action='a-dropdown-button']").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#class='a-dropdown-link'][text()[contains(., '2')]]").click()
driver.find_element_by_class_name("nav-logo-base").click()
driver.save_screenshot("/tmp/confirm.png")
driver.close()
except Exception as e:
print(e)
url = 'https://www.amazon.com/Pexio-Professional-Stainless-Food-Safe-Dishwasher/dp/B07BGBSY9F'
get_inventory(url)
I've run this with and without --headless and it's working fine for me. I navigated to the homepage at the end so you can confirm the quantity change worked (hence the screenshot).
What is the behavior you see?
When I enabled headless, scripts started failing because running headless slows execution down.
I currently run chrome with these options:
'--no-sandbox', '--headless', '--window-size=1920,1080', '--proxy-server="direct://"', '--proxy-bypass-list=*'
The last two options supposedly help with the slowness, but I didn't see any difference.
Hope this helps.
I verified your claim on my Mac (using /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome).
My guess is that, since you are moving from an item page to the cart page of Amazon, the cookies are lost, so that the cart page won't show any item, and therefore won't contain any text input with a name starting with “quantity”, which is what the exception is about.
Googling for headless chrome cookies yields this page, which in turn points to this page, the content of which could also be about your problem. Be it this, or be it a particularly smart behavior of the Amazon website, the fact remains: the cookie that stores the cart (or a key thereof, but the result is the same) is not read by the cart page when in headless mode.
I am trying to have Python, Chrome and ActionChains to save a webpage.
The code seemed like ever works fine on an computer but not another.
I checked the code and also tried the suggestions gave at selenium action chains no effect, but it still doesn't work.
Where went wrong? thanks.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

aaa = driver.get("https://sg.yahoo.com/?p=us")
time.sleep(3)
save_me = ActionChains(driver).key_down(Keys.CONTROL).key_down('s').key_up(Keys.CONTROL).key_up('s')

time.sleep(2)
wsh= comclt.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")
wsh.AppActivate("chrome")

it seems like the versions for Chrome and Chromedriver (32-bit, 64-bit) matter. Tried another version it may work fine.
i am currently using selenium with python and my webdriver is firefox
i tried the click event but it doesn't work
website = www.cloudsightapi.com/api
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
import os
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://cloudsightapi.com/api")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "dropzoneTarget")))
element.click()
Please help !!
Clicking via javascript worked for me:
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "dropzoneTarget")))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
Now, the other problem is that clicking that element would only get you into more troubles. There will a file upload popup being opened. And, the problem is, you cannot control it via selenium.
A common way to approach the problem is to find the file input and set it's value to the absolute path to the file you want to upload, see:
How to upload file ( picture ) with selenium, python
In your case, the input is hidden, make it visible and send the path to it:
element = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input.dz-hidden-input[type=file]")))
# make the input visible
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].style = {};", element)
element.send_keys("/absolute/path/to/image.jpg")
Following is the code which im trying to run
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import os
import time
#Create a new firefox session
browser=webdriver.Firefox()
browser.maximize_window()
#navigate to app's homepage
browser.get('http://demo.magentocommerce.com/')
#get searchbox and clear and enter details.
browser.find_element_by_css_selector("a[href='/search']").click()
search=browser.find_element_by_class_name('search-input')
search.click()
time.sleep(5)
search.click()
search.send_keys('phones'+Keys.RETURN)
However, im unable to submit the phones using send_keys.
Am i going wrong somewhere?
Secondly is it possible to always use x-path to locate an element and not rely on id/class/css-selections etc ?
The input element you are interested in has the search_query class name. To make it work without using hardcoded time.sleep() delays, use an Explicit Wait and wait for the search input element to be visible before sending keys to it. Working code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.maximize_window()
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 10)
browser.get('http://demo.magentocommerce.com/')
browser.find_element_by_css_selector("a[href='/search']").click()
search = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "search-query")))
search.send_keys("phones" + Keys.RETURN)
