I tried to write some code in JMeter WebDriver from Chrome. And I find the ID Name is dynamic. When reload the Chrome Browser, the name will be changed
Ex:
1st Load:
WDS.browser.findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By.xpath("//ul[#id='dropdown-menu-2724']/li")).click();
2nd Load:
WDS.browser.findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By.xpath("//ul[#id='dropdown-menu-3607']/li")).click();
It will cause the error with Element not found messages.
If there is no other way of uniquely identify the element by other means (text, parent, child, whatever) you can use XPath contains() function to do a partial match on the selector.
Something like:
//ul[contains(#id,'dropdown-menu-')]/li

I am attempting web automation with a platform called Robocorp using the Selenium library.
When I run my program, I have no issues until I encounter this page where I am trying to get the program to click on the icon that says SQL.
I want the <a> element with the #href attribute.
Here are some (of many) XPaths I have tried that have all failed:
xpath://a[contains(#href,'sql_form.jsp')]
xpath://*[text()='SQL']
xpath://a[#target='frame2]
Snapshot of the element:
I circled the element in red ^^^
I cannot get the selector to be recognized on this page. I have tried adding delays, waiting until the element is active, waiting until the element is visible, etc.
Nothing seems to work.
Here is an image of the elements I am trying to select.
(The link in the href element takes me to the page I am trying to access).
I thought that the third one would for sure work but is still failing.
I am using a platform called Robocorp which only needs the raw selector to work (CSS or XPath)
I was unaware that iframe needed to be handled differently or that it even existed
https://robocorp.com/docs/development-guide/browser/how-to-work-with-iframes
I first needed to switch frames.
To identify the element with text as SQL you can use you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using Wait Until Element Is Visible:
Wait Until Element Is Visible xpath=//a[starts-with(#href, 'sql_form.jsp') and #target='frame2']/font[text()='SQL'] 10 seconds
Using Wait Until Element Is Enabled:
Wait Until Element Is Enabled xpath=//a[starts-with(#href, 'sql_form.jsp') and #target='frame2']/font[text()='SQL'] 10 seconds

This ElementNotInteractableException means that the element you're trying to work with cannot be used by WebDriver
Thrown to indicate that although an element is present on the DOM, it is not in a state that can be interacted with.
Most probably it's "covered" by other DOM element so the options are in:
Use Explicit Wait for "waiting" until the element can be accessed (by the way you should also consider replacing your "sleeps" with the explicit waits as it's kind of a performance anti-pattern)
Instead of trying to work with particular this element you might want to interact with the one which hovers it, to wit change locator to another one
And finally you can use JavaScript Executor in order to perform the "click" by means of JavaScript

On this page "https://www.javatpoint.com/oprweb/test.jsp?filename=htmltable5" the attempt is to pick the first name and the last name if the marks are above 75. Wrote this xpath to find elements which has marks over 75 ".//tbody/tr/td[number(.)>75]" which works in browser but is not found by selenium at runtime. The size of the findElements simply returns 0 and the test fails on putting a wait on condition.
Your xpath looks correct but web table your trying to interact is in frame. You first need to switch into that particular frame before interacting with WebElement inside it.
We can switch into frames using 3 ways.
By Index
By Name or Id
By Web Element
If you search for iframe in html, you will find out frame as id="iframewrapper" and use below code to switch into frame:
driver.switchTo().frame("iframewrapper")
For further details on frames in selenium, kindly refer to this SO thread.
I'm using Java, Selenium Webdriver in Eclipse.
I wrote a helper method to wait for an element present, scroll to it, wait for the element to be visible and click it. Here's what I have:
protected void waitScrollWaitClick(By by, String scroll)
{
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(by));
getJse().executeScript("$('.mCustomScrollbar#" + scroll + "').mCustomScrollbar('scrollTo',document.querySelector(\"" + by.selector + "\"), {scrollInertia:0})");
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(by));
getDriver().findElement(by).click();
Now the issue I'm having is in that second line in the method. I am passing a By object. This works for the conventional Webdriver methods on lines 1,3,4. But since we are using a custom scrollbar for our web app, I need to use that JavascriptExecutor class (the getJse()) to scroll on the proper div #id (thus passing in the 'scroll' argument). To use that JSE I just need the CSS selector, not the whole By object. If I add a breakpoint and look, the By object contains a 'selector' field that has what I want (in Eclipse there's a red square icon with an 'F' on it), but I can't seem to access it. I tried with the "by.selector" in the code above, but that is a compile error.
How can use that selector field? I'm not Java expert, so maybe I'm missing something obvious. I guess I don't understand why I can stop on a breakpoint, see the By object I created in the Variables tab, expand the By object and see the 'selector' field I want, but just can't access it.
The easy answer is that you cannot get the CSS selector from a By type, or even WebElement type. This is because the WebElements themselves are found by the By class. In case the By specified was a xpath there would be no way to populate the CSS selector.
The long answer specifically for your issue, to get the CSS Selector would be to create it using Javascript. An example would be Florent B.'s answer here. However, I didn't tried myself and I have no idea if it works for all cases.
Now, to address the general issue, instead of using document.querySelector use document.getElementById in case your element has an id.
Or by using document.evaluate to get your element by xpath. You can find an example in the answer posted here.
I realise there are several queries on here for this same problem but none of them provide a solution to my particular problem.
I am running a web driver test that tries to fill out a form for a mail website to find postcodes based on address details. I keep getting this error when trying to locate the first text box:
org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"#ctl00_BodyContent_txtBuildingNumber"}
I have used xpath and the id to try and locate the element but I keep getting the error. I can see that this element is present when the webdriver is running and I have been able to locate another text element on the page and enter text, but I keep getting this error for this field and other fields within the frame.
I am guessing that the problem must be to do with the fact that this field is part of an iFrame.
I have used implicit waits within the test but with no success. I still get the error.
By the sounds of it you'll need to first switch to the iframe element that contains the element that you want to interact with. (Although without seeing the relevant HTML this is a bit of an extrapolated guess).
driver.switchTo().frame();
eg:
driver.switchTo().frame(1);
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.id("id")));
When you've finished interacting with the elements within the frame, you'll need to switch back to the main webpage.
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
Check your xpath .
try to use simple
driver.switchTo().frame(1);
with wait statement.
sorry a little correction the following worked for me
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='page-15']/div/p/iframe")));
//*[#id='page-15']/div/p/iframe is the xpath of the frame in which the button i was trying to click was located. (driver is of type WebDriver i.e WebDriver driver ) thank you
The following worked for me
driver.switchTo().frame(myd.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='page-15']/div/p/iframe")));
//*[#id='page-15']/div/p/iframe is the xpath of the frame in which the button I was trying to click.(driver is of type WebDriver i.e WebDriver driver)
thank you
you can use wait statement and after using the wait statement use simply
driver.swithcTo().frame();
