I tried the following code in Selenium to get the row values.
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www2.asx.com.au/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
try {
WebElement cookies = driver.findElementByXPath("//button[text()='Accept All Cookies']");
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(cookies)).click();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("cookies pop up not found");
}
WebElement el = driver
.findElementByXPath("//*[#class='markit-home-top-five aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12']");
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(el));
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", el);
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElementsByXPath("//caption[text()='Gains']//ancestor::table//tr");
for (int i = 1; i <= elements.size(); i++) {
Thread.sleep(2000);
System.out.println(driver.findElementByXPath(
"//caption[text()='Gains']//ancestor::table//tr[" + i + "]//span[#class='value-with-arrow']")
.getText());
}
}
I faced two issues:
The 'Allow all cookies' button is not getting clicked and the pop up remains there. 'cookies pop up not found' is getting printed in the output.
The value of the tables are not getting printed without sleep. in the below output ,it is shown that the first text value is printed as -- as the value was still loading. How to provide till the value is fully loaded.
Thanks in advance!
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.textToBePresentInElementLocated(By.id("element_id"), "The Text"));
use webdriver wait , you can use expected condition texttobepresent or element to be present
https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/support/ui/ExpectedConditions.html#textToBePresentInElementLocated(org.openqa.selenium.By,java.lang.String)
I am trying to navigate to "https://developers.google.com/".
I then click a link by the xpath and redirect to another page.
Everything works as far as finding elements and clicking links on the first page.
But I cannot seem to find the elements I want to look for after I go to the new page.
The redirected page is "https://cloud.withgoogle.com/next18/sf/?utm_source=devsite&utm_medium=hpp&utm_campaign=cloudnext_april18"
This is checking if text is equal.
confirmText("Imagine", "//*[#id=\"main\"]/span/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[2]/h3");
public static void confirmText(String text, String xpath) {
System.out.println("Trying to confirm that given string is equal to the text on page.");
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(xpath));
System.out.println("Test case: " + text);
System.out.println("Result: " + element.getText());
if (element.getText() == text) {
System.out.println("\nEquals.");
}
else {
System.out.println("\nDoes not equals.");
}
System.out.println("\n\n");
}
This is sending keys.
public static void sendKeys() {
WebElement firstname = driver.findElement(By.id("firstName"));
firstname.sendKeys("John");
WebElement lastname = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"lastName\"]"));
lastname.sendKeys("Doe");
WebElement email = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"email\"]"));
email.sendKeys("johndoe#gmail.com");
WebElement jobtitle = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"jobTitle\"]"));
jobtitle.sendKeys("Software Engineer");
WebElement company = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"company\"]"));
company.sendKeys("ABCD");
}
The error is
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[#id="main"]/span/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[2]/h3"}
Only the first page actually waits to finish loading before the script starts. If you navigate away form the page then you will need to manually wait. Without waiting, the script will continue to the next command immediately after clicking the link that changes the page, and since the page is not loaded yet you will not find the element. This gives the error.
The simplest way to wait is by using "WebDriverWait"
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id(>someid>)));
There are more simple examples here:
http://toolsqa.com/selenium-webdriver/wait-commands/
You can try this xpath using for imagine and put some wait as #chris mentioned
//div//h3[contains(text(),'Imagine')]
JavascriptExecutor can be used to get the value of an element,
Refer code,
confirmText("Imagine", "//*[#id=\"main\"]/span/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[2]/h3");
public static void confirmText(String text, String xpath) {
System.out.println("Trying to confirm that given string is equal to the text on page.");
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(xpath));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
System.out.println("Test case: " + text);
System.out.println("Result: " + executor.executeScript("return arguments[0].innerHTML;", element););
if (text.equals(executor.executeScript("return arguments[0].innerHTML;", element))) {
System.out.println("\nEquals.");
}
else {
System.out.println("\nDoes not equals.");
}
System.out.println("\n\n");}
I used explicit waits and I have the warning:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException:
Element is not clickable at point (36, 72). Other element would receive
the click: ...
Command duration or timeout: 393 milliseconds
If I use Thread.sleep(2000) I don't receive any warnings.
#Test(dataProvider = "menuData")
public void Main(String btnMenu, String TitleResultPage, String Text) throws InterruptedException {
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
driver.findElement(By.id("navigationPageButton")).click();
try {
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector(btnMenu)));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Oh");
}
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(btnMenu)).click();
Assert.assertEquals(driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(TitleResultPage)).getText(), Text);
}
WebDriverException: Element is not clickable at point (x, y)
This is a typical org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException which extends java.lang.RuntimeException.
The fields of this exception are :
BASE_SUPPORT_URL : protected static final java.lang.String BASE_SUPPORT_URL
DRIVER_INFO : public static final java.lang.String DRIVER_INFO
SESSION_ID : public static final java.lang.String SESSION_ID
About your individual usecase, the error tells it all :
WebDriverException: Element is not clickable at point (x, y). Other element would receive the click
It is clear from your code block that you have defined the wait as WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10); but you are calling the click() method on the element before the ExplicitWait comes into play as in until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable).
Solution
The error Element is not clickable at point (x, y) can arise from different factors. You can address them by either of the following procedures:
1. Element not getting clicked due to JavaScript or AJAX calls present
Try to use Actions Class:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("navigationPageButton"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element).click().build().perform();
2. Element not getting clicked as it is not within Viewport
Try to use JavascriptExecutor to bring the element within the Viewport:
WebElement myelement = driver.findElement(By.id("navigationPageButton"));
JavascriptExecutor jse2 = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse2.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView()", myelement);
3. The page is getting refreshed before the element gets clickable.
In this case induce ExplicitWait i.e WebDriverWait as mentioned in point 4.
4. Element is present in the DOM but not clickable.
In this case induce ExplicitWait with ExpectedConditions set to elementToBeClickable for the element to be clickable:
WebDriverWait wait2 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait2.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("navigationPageButton")));
5. Element is present but having temporary Overlay.
In this case, induce ExplicitWait with ExpectedConditions set to invisibilityOfElementLocated for the Overlay to be invisible.
WebDriverWait wait3 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait3.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("ele_to_inv")));
6. Element is present but having permanent Overlay.
Use JavascriptExecutor to send the click directly on the element.
WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.xpath("element_xpath"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", ele);
In case you need to use it with Javascript
We can use arguments[0].click() to simulate click operation.
var element = element(by.linkText('webdriverjs'));
browser.executeScript("arguments[0].click()",element);
I ran into this error while trying to click some element (or its overlay, I didn't care), and the other answers didn't work for me. I fixed it by using the elementFromPoint DOM API to find the element that Selenium wanted me to click on instead:
element_i_care_about = something()
loc = element_i_care_about.location
element_to_click = driver.execute_script(
"return document.elementFromPoint(arguments[0], arguments[1]);",
loc['x'],
loc['y'])
element_to_click.click()
I've also had situations where an element was moving, for example because an element above it on the page was doing an animated expand or collapse. In that case, this Expected Condition class helped. You give it the elements that are animated, not the ones you want to click. This version only works for jQuery animations.
class elements_not_to_be_animated(object):
def __init__(self, locator):
self.locator = locator
def __call__(self, driver):
try:
elements = EC._find_elements(driver, self.locator)
# :animated is an artificial jQuery selector for things that are
# currently animated by jQuery.
return driver.execute_script(
'return !jQuery(arguments[0]).filter(":animated").length;',
elements)
except StaleElementReferenceException:
return False
You can try
WebElement navigationPageButton = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10))
.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id("navigationPageButton")));
navigationPageButton.click();
Scrolling the page to the near by point mentioned in the exception did the trick for me. Below is code snippet:
$wd_host = 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub';
$capabilities =
[
\WebDriverCapabilityType::BROWSER_NAME => 'chrome',
\WebDriverCapabilityType::PROXY => [
'proxyType' => 'manual',
'httpProxy' => PROXY_DOMAIN.':'.PROXY_PORT,
'sslProxy' => PROXY_DOMAIN.':'.PROXY_PORT,
'noProxy' => PROXY_EXCEPTION // to run locally
],
];
$webDriver = \RemoteWebDriver::create($wd_host, $capabilities, 250000, 250000);
...........
...........
// Wait for 3 seconds
$webDriver->wait(3);
// Scrolls the page vertically by 70 pixels
$webDriver->executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, 70);");
NOTE: I use Facebook php webdriver
If element is not clickable and overlay issue is ocuring we use arguments[0].click().
WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='input-group-btn']/input"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", ele);
The best solution is to override the click functionality:
public void _click(WebElement element){
boolean flag = false;
while(true) {
try{
element.click();
flag=true;
}
catch (Exception e){
flag = false;
}
if(flag)
{
try{
element.click();
}
catch (Exception e){
System.out.printf("Element: " +element+ " has beed clicked, Selenium exception triggered: " + e.getMessage());
}
break;
}
}
}
In C#, I had problem with checking RadioButton,
and this worked for me:
driver.ExecuteJavaScript("arguments[0].checked=true", radio);
Can try with below code
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
Pass other element would receive the click:<a class="navbar-brand" href="#"></a>
boolean invisiable = wait.until(ExpectedConditions
.invisibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[#class='navbar-brand']")));
Pass clickable button id as shown below
if (invisiable) {
WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='button']");
ele.click();
}
This is my first time first day working on selenium and I have no hands on experience on Web Technologies in depth either.
Working around, I have been facing StaleElementException while i try to access a particular object on the DOM.
Following Method handles all the task:
private void extract(WebDriver driver) {
try {
List<WebElement> rows = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[#id='gvSearchResults']/tbody/tr"));
for (WebElement row : rows) {
WebElement columns = row.findElement(By.xpath("./td[1]/a"));
if (assertAndVerifyElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='gvSearchResults']/tbody/tr/td[1]/a"))) {
columns.click();
}
List<WebElement> elements = driver
.findElements(By.xpath("//*[#id='ctl00_MainContent_pnlDetailsInd']/table/tbody/tr"));
for (WebElement element : elements) {
WebElement values = element.findElement(By.xpath("./td[1]"));
System.out.print(values.getText() + " ");
WebElement values2 = element.findElement(By.xpath("./td[2]"));
System.out.println(values2.getText());
}
if(assertAndVerifyElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='ctl00_MainContent_btnBack']")))
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='ctl00_MainContent_btnBack']")).click();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
The Assertion logic goes here:
public boolean assertAndVerifyElement(By element) throws InterruptedException {
boolean isPresent = false;
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
try {
if (driver.findElement(element) != null) {
isPresent = true;
break;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// System.out.println(e.getLocalizedMessage());
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
}
Assert.assertTrue("\"" + element + "\" is not present.", isPresent);
return isPresent;
}
I have tried few solutions asking me to use wait until expected conditions, but none of them worked.
Also, It would be appreciated if you point out any bad design practices I might be using in the above sample.
I can give you the idea to overcome staleness.
Generally we will be getting the Stale Exception if the element attributes or something is changed after initiating the webelement. For example, in some cases if user tries to click on the same element on the same page but after page refresh, gets staleelement exception.
To overcome this, we can create the fresh webelement in case if the page is changed or refreshed. Below code can give you some idea.
Example:
webElement element = driver.findElement(by.xpath("//*[#id='StackOverflow']"));
element.click();
//page is refreshed
element.click();//This will obviously throw stale exception
To overcome this, we can store the xpath in some string and use it create a fresh webelement as we go.
String xpath = "//*[#id='StackOverflow']";
driver.findElement(by.xpath(xpath)).click();
//page has been refreshed. Now create a new element and work on it
driver.findElement(by.xpath(xpath)).click(); //This works
Another example:
for(int i = 0; i<5; i++)
{
String value = driver.findElement(by.xpath("//.....["+i+"]")).getText);
System.out.println(value);
}
Hope this helps you. Thanks
The StaleElementException occurs when the webelement in question is changed on the dom and the initial reference to that webelement is lost.
You can search for the webelement again
try this
try:
element = self.find_element_by_class('')
element.click()
except StaleElementReferenceException:
element = self.find_element_by_class('')
element.click()
I am new to Selenium. Getting
org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: Element is no longer valid (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
error while running the below the code.
Expectation: while loop should resume once the method "changdrawer" returned true. Please help me if any correction is needed in my code.
public class ManageTaskList {
public void CheckRequestType() throws InterruptedException
{
//Switching the driver to TaskList frame
LaunchBrowser.driver.switchTo().frame("taskList");
boolean dateFlag=false;
String date = "06/12";
WebElement table = LaunchBrowser.driver.findElement(By.id("dataTable"));
List<WebElement> rows = table.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));
Iterator<WebElement> i = rows.iterator();
System.out.println("Table has following content");
while(i.hasNext())
{
WebElement row=i.next();
List<WebElement> columns= row.findElements(By.tagName("td"));
Iterator<WebElement> j = columns.iterator();
while(j.hasNext())
{
WebElement column = j.next();
String ColumnValues=column.getText();
//System.out.println("ColumnValues" + ColumnValues);
if (ColumnValues.contains(date))
{
System.out.println("Date confirmed" +ColumnValues );
dateFlag = true;
}
if (ColumnValues.contentEquals("Issue Change Drawer") && dateFlag==true)
{
System.out.println("Found Change Drawer");
dateFlag=false;
column.click();
ChangeDrawer();
Thread.sleep(100);
}
}
}
public boolean ChangeDrawer()
{
// Issue Change Drawer
LaunchBrowser.driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='content']/div[3]/form/table/tbody/tr[2]/td/table/tbody/tr/td[1]/input")).click();
LaunchBrowser.driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
return true;
}
}
If the changeDrawer method (that is, a click on the element) causes the page to refresh, or even the table elements to change, even if you end up having a WebElement that still matches your selector (in this case, rows), you are still holding a reference to the "old" object, which doesn't exist anymore in the page.
You would need to call the findElement/s method again to refresh the WebElement if that is the case.
