I clicked on a link which opens a small window/popup/iframe and the popup window has Xpath:
//html/body/div[2]
ie. it has no window_id but in firebug the identifier shows the window as a <div class="some_name"> so I'm assuming it's a popup window; correct me if I'm wrong.
When I use the selectPopup of selenium IDE it works fine in switching from the main window to the popup/new_window but when exporting to webdriver-python it doesn't have that option. So I tried using driver.switch_to_window and switch_to_frame along with the xpath mentioned above but no luck ie. driver.switch_to_frame(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//html/body/div[2]"))
Error thrown : NoSuchElementException and that's because it's not able to select the iframe.
Since it's working fine in Selenium IDE I exported it to python-webdriver which converted the wait_for_element clause to
for i in range(60):
try:
if self.is_element_present(By.XPATH, "//*[#id='heading']/div[2]/div/div/ul/li[2]/a"): break
except: pass
time.sleep(1) else: self.fail("time out")
which returns the above error
Detailed html:
//*[#id='heading']/div[2]/div/div/ul/li[2]/a is the xpath of the element and as html this is what it is Home and in detail:
`
<div class="help">
<div class="page-header">
<div id="heading">
<div id="search">
<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
<ul class="nav">
<li class="active">
<li>
Home
</li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
</ul>
<form class="navbar-form pull-right">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>`
try out this :
new Actions(driver).click(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='pop-up-window']"))).perform();

Selenium version 3.141.0
I'm writing a web scraping script that should select a certain option from a dropdown menu with Selenium webdriver. The problem is, I cannot seem to detect this dropdown menu element. I tried detecting it with Class and by CSS selector, but it's still undetectable.
the dropdown menu is a status menu, it contains:
Draft
Submitted
Reviewed
Released
Rejected
Obsolete
This is the HTML code of the part of the page where the dropdown menu is:
<div class="controls col-md-5 angular2-multiselect" id="status-field">
<ctf-angular2-multiselect class="defaultSettings ng-valid ng-touched ng-dirty">
<div class="cuppa-dropdown" qa-name="dropdown-multiselect">
<div class="selected-list" tabindex="0">
<div class="c-btn" qa-name="toggle-dropdown-statusField">
<!----><!----><!---->
<span>
<!----><span qa-name="item-0">Draft</span>
</span>
<!----><!----><!---->
<div class="dropdown-caret"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="dropdown-container" qa-name="dropdown" hidden="">
<div class="dropdown-list">
<div class="list-area" qa-name="list-area">
<!----><!----><!----><!----><!---->
<ul class="lazyContainer">
<!----><!---->
<span>
<!---->
<li class="pure-checkbox single-select-label-selected">

<!---->
</ul>
<!----><!----><!----><!---->
</div>

Apparently I'm not that good with HTML, so I was depending on IDs to detect elements in the previous codes I wrote. This code doesn't have any.
This is how the GUI looks like:
Picture of GUI
I tried using classes to detect the dropdown menu like this:
Select(driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'ctf-angular2-multiselect')).select_by_value("Released")
But it doesn't work.
Trying to detect with ID like this:
Select(driver.find_element_by_id('status-field')).select_by_value("Released")
doesn't work either
You have at least two challenges to overcome:
This isn't a normal html select. You need to click on things through Selenium.
The 'dropdown-container' is hidden. You need click on whatever opens it first.
Should we assume the div with the 'c-btn' class opens the drop down? I'd normally check in chrome
dev tools if that element has event listeners or use chrome to
save element as a variable and run a js click on it to verify it's
the right element to click before adding it in selenium
Once .dropdown-container is not longer hidden. I think your life would be easier with using xpath to select the list elements. to select the 'Released' option, the xpath would just be //label[#title='Released']
You can also use chrome dev tools to verify xpath selections before adding to your selenium script.
With python selenium, you can then click on your xpath selection like this:
driver.find_element(
By.XPATH, "//label[#title='Released']").click()
I am trying to navigate to a search box and send_keys with selenium python but completely stuck.
And here is the source code snippet:

When I try to do
element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//input[#name="Search"]')
element.send_keys('test')
I get error "selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable"
I have tried everything I can imagine, but cannot click the element or send keys.
Also, this page is a new page that opens after the last successful click. I first tried switching to this page by
#printing handles
handles = driver.window_handles
i=0
for handle in handles:
print(f"Handle {i}: {handle}\n")
i +=1
#after confirming new page is second handle via:
driver.switch_to.window(handles[1])
print(f" Title: {driver.title}")
print(f" Current url: {driver.current_url}")
print('\n')
#I can even find the tag I am looking for after switching to new window:
all_div_tags = driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "input")
for tag in all_div_tags:
print(f"Attribute name: {tag.get_attribute('name')}\n")
#but i cannot get to the search box. Thank you in advance!
Look at the html code, notice that //input[#name="Search"] is contained in an <iframe>. In order to select an element inside an iframe with find_element() you have first to switch to the iframe, as shown in the code
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID, "frmCode")))
element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//input[#name="Search"]')

UPDATED
In my Django settings, when I set DEBUG to false, Selenium is able to interact with the elements. It still does not work when DEBUG is set to true
So I am trying to select one option in a dropdown menu, but when I try to directly access the <select> tag I get the error ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not interactable.
In the console whenever I click on the dropdown in only refers to an input tag that dynamically changes based on what I click on. Ultimately, I want the test to click on the dropdown and then select 'Tango' as shown in the link below.
My Selenium code is:
from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("localhost:8000/")
select = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="select-dance"]').click())
select.select_by_value('1')
And HTML:
<form onsubmit="return false;">
<div class="row border-light bg-white rounded-left rounded-right no-gutters">
<div class="col-12 col-lg px-3">
<div class="select-wrapper mdb-select">
<span class="caret"></span>
<input type="text" class="select-dropdown" readonly="true" data-activates="select-options-20f378f1-9560-4598-b8e8-
3ffe496cd688" value="Choose your dance event">
<ul id="select-options-20f378f1-9560-4598-b8e8-3ffe496cd688" class="dropdown-content select-dropdown" style="width: 658px; position:absolute;top: 0px; left: 0px;opacity: 1; display: none;">
<li class="">
<span class="filtrable">Choose your dance event</span></li>
<li class="">
<span class="filtrable">Tango</span></li>
<li class="active selected">
<span class="filtrable">Swing</span>
</li>
<li class="">
<span class="filtrable">Latin/Salsa</span>
</li>
<li class="">
<span class="filtrable">Ballroom</span>
</li>
<li class="">
<span class="filtrable">Bachata</span>
</li>
</ul>
<select class="mdb-select initialized" id="select-dance">
<option value="0">Choose your dance event</option>
<option value="1">Tango</option>
<option value="2">Swing</option>
<option value="3">Latin/Salsa</option>
<option value="4">Ballroom</option>
<option value="5">Bachata</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
I do not know how to deal with the input tag interfering with the select (it only shows up in the elements console in Chrome).
Thank you!
You can handle by,
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("localhost:8000/")
time.sleep(10)
select = Select(driver.find_element_by_id('select-dance'))
select.select_by_value('1')
You can try this,
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("localhost:8000/")
time.sleep(10)
driver.find_element_by_id('select-dance').click()
when you click then new list of s will get populated under , then call select tag
select = Select(driver.find_element_by_id('select-dance'))
select.select_by_value('1')
or
select = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="select-dance"]'))
select.select_by_value('1')
Your page uses custom Select Component which is not the default html select box. In your case, they have used MDBootstrap Select Component which cannot be interacted using selenium Select class.
Please read this answer for your another question which related to the same issue.
Need to exercise buttons ( edit / delete) in following HTML. Unique between all devices are "device-name". Hence locating target device is straight as -
cmd = "//div[#class='device-name' and text()='%s']" % (devicename)
element = brHandle.find_elements_by_xpath(cmd)
HTML -
<div class="device" id="device-1">..</div>
<div class="device" id="device-2">..</div>
<div class="device-form-factor desktop">
<div class="device-platform unknown"></div>
<div class="device-status">
....
</div>
</div>
<div class="device-name">auto-generated</div>
<div class="buttons">
<div class="button edit" href="#">Edit</div>
<div class="button delete" href="#">Delete</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="device" id="device-3">..</div>
....
To access parent and then button, i tried following- but didn't work out. I was expecting to fetch device-id and then form my xpath to edit/delete button. Please suggest -
parent = element.find_element_by_xpath("..").text()
I'm writing scripts in Python using Selenium WebDriver to test a web application.
The web application allows users to ask questions, which are added to a div as they are asked. Each question div has their own "upvote" and "downvote" link/image. The image changes when the "upvote" icon is clicked, from active to inactive, or vice versa. I know that the xpath to this upvote icon is:
"//div[#id='recent-questions-container']/div/div/div/div/div[2]/div/ul/li/a/i"
This "i" at the end of the path is a class, and will either be
<i class="fa fa-2x fa-thumbs-o-up"></i>
or
<i class="fa fa-2x fa-thumbs-up clicked"></i>
depending on whether or not it is clicked. I want to verify that the correct image is in place upon being clicked. How can I do that? Ideally, I'd like to perform this verification using assertions, a la:
self.assertTrue(self.is_element_present( ... ))
Here is the html for what I'm talking about
<div id="recent-questions-container">
<div question_id="randomly generated blah" class="q row recent-question animated pulse" data-score="0">
<div class="col-xs-12">
<div class="question-content">
<p>3</p>
<div class="row question-controls">
<div class="owner-view hidden">
...
<div class="student-view">
<div class="col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 question-controls-left">
<ul class="list-inline">
<li>
<a href="#" class="student-view thumbs-up-to-active">
<i class="fa fa-thumbs-o-up fa-2x"></i></a>
</li>
<li>
<span class="num-votes">0</span>
</li>
<li class="thumbs-down-li">
<a href="#" class="student-view thumbs-down-to-active">
<i class="fa fa-thumbs-o-down fa-2x"></i></a>
</li>
</ul>

You can use get_attribute to get the class attribute and then do a search if the class contains clicked to make sure it was in fact clicked
#make sure the selector is correct
xpath = "//div[#id='recent-questions-container']/div/div/div/div/div[2]/div/ul/li/a/i"
element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, xpath)
attr = element.get_attribute('class')
if 'clicked' in attr:
print("clicked")
else:
print("was not clicked")
Edit
I would click the element and now should be expecting to change the class to active. Then find the count which should be more than 0
driver = self.driver
#perform click here
#the idea is to avoid the NoSuchElement exception
# and see if the element count is greater than 0
assert (len(driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(".student-view.thumbs-up-to-active")) > 0)
