I'm trying to get the image which has the word "Collector" in its title and click on it.
This is the html code for the image and its link:
<a href="javascript:*command*" title="Level III: KPI Collector RYG of D D/Testing - SYS">
<img src="*unusable link because it's only valid for the specific page*" title="Level III: KPI Collector RYG of D D/Testing - SYS">
The <a> and <img> tags are nested in a table cell and some divs. I didn't write the html code so don't yell at me if it's ugly :p
Here is the java code where I try to do it:
WebElement trafficLight = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//img[contains(#title,'Collector')]"));
trafficLight.click();
The error I get is:
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//img[contains(#title,'Collector')]"}
I'm pretty sure the xpath is ok so I don't think that's the issue.
As the img WebElement is within a frame, you will need to switch focus to that frame before you perform any action on that WebElement. You can do that using WebDriver's switchTo() method like so:
driver.switchTo().frame(frameLocator);
The frame locator can be either its (zero-based) index, name or id attribute, or a previously located WebElement.
Once you have switched focus to the required frame, you should then be able to interact with the WebElement using the same code in your initial post.
Please try this. It will resolve your problem.
WebElement frameSwitch = driver.findElement(By.xpath("Give iframe Xpath location"));
driver.switchTo().frame(frameSwitch); //Switch control to iframe.
//Perform your steps (I.e Click on Image)
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//img[contains(#title,'Collector')]")).click();
driver.switchTo().defaultContent(); //Come out of iframe.

I am trying to click following button using xpath in selenium,
<div class="bg-iconButton-button bg-common-nodrag bg-tool-maximize bg-common-hideDisplay" title="Display in full screen" id="bg-po-full-screen-1"></div>
I tried the below code,
fullscreenbutton=UtilityFunc.driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='bg-po-full-screen-1']"));
KeywordFunc.fnClick(fullscreenbutton);
I am getting following error,
org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document
I think I am facing this issue because its enclosed as a div and not button.
Firstly you can just select your element by its ID rather than its Xpath.
WebElement fullscreenbutton = UtilityFunc.driver.findElement(By.id("bg-po-full-screen-1"));
Secondly the element you're trying to click has no onClick event associated with it nor is it a button. Are you sure your actual button is not nested inside it or is below it?
i should make Selenium to click on the element of drop down menu using Java and Inteliji. I should click on the "today" button. I tried to copy the xpath, use cssselector, i used extensions like xpath finder etc, no result. The element is <li> type, so i guess the problem is here. Any suggestions how to find the correct Xpath?
P.S. sorry for uploading the image, as a new user, i can't put them exactly in the text.
Drop down menu image
html code for the elements
You can't always get reusable XPath locator for selenium from the browser's tool. It returns an absolute XPath. You need to construct relative XPath for the elements.
Here you can learn about XPath and how XPath locators work.
The following locators based on the image you have posted.
XPath:
WebElement liToday = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(#class,'daterangepicker') and contains(#class,'dropdown-menu')]/div[#class='ranges']/ul/li[text()='Today']"));
CSS Selector:
WebElement liToday = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.daterangepicker.dropdown-menu > div.ranges > ul > li"));
After locating the element,
this part is for after you have clicked the date box and the dropdown is showing.
new WebDriverWait(driver,30).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(liToday));
liToday.click();
I am trying to write some UI test cases for an SAP-webUI (web based) application. After login, it shows the dashboard ( Workcenter's ) screen.
Now the problem is, I am able to open the page, enter U/N, Pwd and login through Selenium. After i press the "Login" button the URL changes and the page got redirected/refreshed.
E.g. URL before login : https://a/b/c/d/e/f/g.htm?sap-client=001&sap-sessioncmd=open
E.g. URL after successful Login : https://a/b(bDsdfsdsf1lg==)/c/d/e/f/g.htm
After this im unable to perform any action or press any link in any part of the page. I tried with all the possible attributes ( css, xpath, id ). Webdriver was unable to find any element on the page. It shows the error "No element found" alone.
I am using java with Selenium Web Driver.
Please find the html structure of the webpage below
<html><body><div><div><iframe>#document<html><head></head><frameset><frameset><frame>#document<html><head></head><body><form><div><div><table><tbody><tr><td><div><ul><li><a id=abcdef></a></li></ul></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></form></body></html></frame></frameset></frameset></html></iframe></div></div></body></html>
Actually i want to click a linkmenu "abcd", which is inside iframe and frame as shown in the below HTML code
<html><head></head><body><iframe name=a1><html><head></head><frameset><frameset name=fs1><frame name=f1><html><head></head><body><table><tbody><tr><td><ul><li><a id=abcdef>
I tried the below code as well.
driver.switchTo().frame("a1");
driver.findElement(By.id("abcd")).click();
OR
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='abcd']")).click();
After using the above code, still im getting the error "No such element"
Kindly suggest
Regards,
Siva
Do it this way...
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//iframe[#name='a1']"))); // switching to iframe
followed by
driver.switchTo().frame("f1"); // switch to frame
and then your desired action...
driver.findElement(By.id("abcd")).click();
This is because of the iframe. You need to switch to it first:
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
driver.findElement(By.id("abcdef")).click();
where 0 is a frame index.
See doc on implicit wait here
I guess you should do a implicit wait until your chosen element is available
modify these code to suit your chosen element:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("someid")));
I'm trying to use Selenium (Java) to automate some searches.
When I go to the page and click Inspect Element on the search bar, I see that it has the id searchBox and name q, both of which are potentially useful. Nevertheless, these properties are nowhere to be found in the HTML when I go to View Source.
When I try to use
WebElement search = driver.findElement(By.id("searchBox"));
or
WebElement search = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
both come back as unable to be found.
How do I proceed with populating the search field then hitting submit (the submit button also is missing in the source page) if I can't find either of these elements?
EDIT:
As requested, here's a more detailed picture of what's wrong:
The URL of the page accessed by WebDriver is http://www.ycharts.com using the line
driver.get("http://www.ycharts.com/login");
If you go to this page with your actual web browser, right click on the search bar and choose Inspect Element, you'll see that its ID is "searchBox" and its name is "q". However, if you go to view the same page's source, you'll see that there's no such element in the HTML. Clearly, this is why WebDriver can't find it.
driver was initiated as follows:
WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
When I try something like
WebElement search = driver.findElement(By.id("searchBox"));`
The exception returned is:
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element with ID: searchBox
So, back to the original question: clearly, the element is there, but it's not in the HTML – how do you interact with it?
The problem is being caused by the fact that the search box is added to the html post page load by javascript.
The HTML returned by http://ycharts.com/ does not contain the searchbox, therefore when Selenium thinks the page has finished loading (i.e DOM ready state), there is no search box.
In order to interact with the search box, you need to tell Selenium to wait until the box appears in the DOM.
The easiest way to achieve this is with WebDriverWait;
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, timeoutInSeconds);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id<locator>));
I'am trying to automate http://rose.99ats.com/careers.aspx
After clicking on "signup", I couldn't find the element Popup. I used getWindowHandle(), also used driver.swithchto(), but getting error. I can't find element.
Because it's in a new iframe, you need to use driver.switchTo().frame().
Here is a detailed answer on using switchTo(), in which you can't use name/id in your case, index should generally be avoided, so you may try locate the iframe element by css selector or xpath first, then switch to this WebElement.
WebElement popup = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("iframe[src^='CareerSignUp.aspx']"));
driver.switchTo().frame(popup);
// or by index: driver.switchTo().frame(0);
