I am working on image click functionality where images change dynamically but the XPath remains the same.
For example:
First image inspect element:
<a id="adlink" target="_top" href="http://www.jimhayes.com/lennielw/index-2.html">
<img id="adimage" src="http://egranary/adverts/Images/lightwire.png" border="0"></a>
First image XPath:
//*[#id="adimage"]
Second image inspect element:
<a id="adlink" target="_top" href="http://www.lifewater.ca/index.html">
<img id="adimage" src="http://egranary/adverts/Images/lifewater1.png" border="0"></a>
Second image XPath:
//*[#id="adimage"]
In this example source and target are changing constantly to redirect to particular page when clicked on image.
How to handle this situation using selenium webdriver?
I think your requirement is to basically check if the links are working fine - not broken.
In that case, I would suggest you to follow this approach - (It is in Java - you can do something similar in other languages as well)
I am trying to extract all href on the page. But if you want an specific xpath just change it here.
driver.get("https://www.yahoo.com");
Map<Integer, List<String>> map = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[#href]"))
.stream() // find all elements which has href attribute & process one by one
.map(ele -> ele.getAttribute("href")) // get the value of href
.map(String::trim) // trim the text
.distinct() // there could be duplicate links , so find unique
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(LinkUtil::getResponseCode)); // group the links based on the response code
Now we could access the urls based on the response code we are interested in.
map.get(200) // will contain all the good urls
map.get(403) // will contain all the 'Forbidden' urls
map.get(404) // will contain all the 'Not Found' urls
map.get(0) // will contain all the unknown host urls
Check here for complete implementation.

What is an iframe's page source that get return by getPageSource() after we switch to that iframe? After iframe is located and switch to, what is the first step web driver do to populate iframe's page source?
Sometimes iframe can contains different things in their src attributes
like image ("image.png"), video (video.wmv) or html (web.html) etc
or just urls such as "https://iframe-source.com"
Some do not even have src attributes (like src="" or no src attribute field)
In all three cases, what will getPageSource() return?
It looks like getPageSource() only return html document.
Quoted from doc,
"The Get Page Source command returns a string serialization of the DOM of the current browsing context active document."
How is it possbile that getPageSource() can return anything when people use video,image etc. and src="", or even missing src attributes in their iframes?
I have created the object of Select in selenium to handle dropdown . Also have included the associated packages. Yet the dropdown is not getting selected. Kindly help!
Select select = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html[1]/body[1]/div[1]/div[1]/header[1]/div[3]/div[1]/div[1]/div[6]/ul[1]/li[1]/a[1]")));
select.selectByValue("Blouses");
I am recieving the following error "at org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select.(Select.java:48)";
Alongwith a note when i hover over Select -
org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select
Note: This element neither has attached source nor attached Javadoc and hence no Javadoc could be found.
As far as I can see your XPath expression ends with a which indicates <a> HTML tag which in its turn stands for a hyperlink
In order to be able to use Select class you need to pass to it's constructor a WebElement instance which will point to a <select> HTML tag.
If there is no <select> elements in your page source code - it means that the dropdown is being generated by means of CSS and JavaScript therefore you just need to click the link with the Blouses text which in its turn can be as simple as:
driver.findElementByLinkText("Blouses").click()
If you still want to use XPath - be aware that you can make it a lot shorter, readable and reliable: limit your search scope to hyperlinks only like //a and utilise text() XPath function to match only "interesting" links, the expression which will click the link with Blouses text would be something like:
driver.findElementByXPath("//a[text()='Blouses']").click();
I am trying to automate 'Tableau' login screen and download reports flow. Everything works fine till I reach the 'Download' button. The first problem is I am NOT able to right click on the Download button and do an 'Inspect' in Chrome which is weird. I somehow am able to find the xpath by going through the whole page. When i try to click it I get "Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[3]/div[4]/span[1]"}".
The code that I am using is mentioned below:
String xPath = "/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[3]/div[4]/span[1]";
(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20))
.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath(xPath)));
driver.findElement(By.xpath(xPath)).click();
The page layout is like this from where I am picking the xpath
<div class="tabToolbarButton tab-widget" style="-webkit-user-select: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; width: 77.4px;">
<span class="tabToolbarButtonImg tab-icon-download"></span>
<span class="tabToolbarButtonText">Download</span></div>
<span class="tabToolbarButtonImg tab-icon-download"></span>
<span class="tabToolbarButtonText">Download</span>
</div>
Any help would be appreciated. What could be the reason for not able to 'Inspect'??
If you are not able to right click on the element, you can still right click anywhere on the page and select Inspect this element. You can then grab little binocular icon(tool tip message-select an element in the page to inspect it) and point it to the desired web element to check the xpath.
1st thing you need to check if you are writing xpath correctly. On a chrome you can do that without any plugin. On the developer window(same window which gets open when you select Inspect Element option), look for Console window and write your xpath as mentioned below and hit Enter.
$x("Write x path here")
for e.g. xpath for google search box
$x("//input[#id='lst-ib']")
I'm not sure why you writing absolute xpath. Its a bad practice. You can write x path for Download button in better way.
e.g.
(//span[#class='tabToolbarButtonText'])
I got the problem. So it seems the web page I was trying to automate has used frames. That is why even after providing the xpath the element was not getting clicked. I had to use 'switchTo.frame' in order to get the frame in focus and then I was able to click the element. Thanks for all the responses.
What I have still not understood is that why I was not able to inspect the element directly but that is a different question.
I've made a menu component to create tabs which contains rendered results from another menu component.
The internal component is using Location/Site Areas (set by Query string) as a criteria and in the main component I use [Plugin:RequestAttribute(...)] to set the Site Area I want the content from in specific tab. In order to do so, I put the internal component inside [InContext(...)][/InContext] tags - in this case Result design code of the main component is:
title="[Property field="title"]">
[Plugin:RequestAttribute key="year" mode="set" value="[Property field='title']"]
[InContext context="autofill"]
[Component name="omantel_en/investors/financial snapshots/financial statement menu" startPage="" resultsPerPage=""]
[/InContext]
</div>
The header ends with <div class="tab selected", while separator is set as <div class="tab" which in the end construct a valid HTML structure (of that I'm sure).
Tabbing is held by javascript I put in the beggining of header and works fine.
Everything works fine while using Preview option - content is generated properly, I can even use Preview on site I actually want the component to be used on and this will give me desired result.
The problem occurs when I put the main menu component tag in published Article. Then it shows only tabs, without any content from the inner component. It looks as if the [Plugin:RequestAttribute(...)] tag that is used as substitute for Query string stops working.
I already tried to put the main menu component tag (in the actual Article) inside [InContext(...)][/InContext](with all of possible options) but it gave no good result. I'm kind of new in using IBM websphere~.
Any suggestions?
Actually it was a problem with Libraries - I simply put wanted content in single library and now it works fine.
I'm trying to figure out how to link an html picture element back to the database entry that was originally used to generate the picture link.
I am using Meteor:
- I have a database that contains photosets data from Flickr API
- In the HTML, I have a handlebar "each" script that iterates through each photoset in the database and then uses this info to generate the html for the photoset cover picture links.
- When the html renders, the photoset cover pictures are downloaded from Flickr and displayed to the screen.
I would like to be able to click on the photoset cover picture and then automatically generate the links to the pictures in the photoset. But I don't understand how to dynamically link the html picture elements back to their respective database entries that were originally used for generating the picture links. I need to be able to find the original database entries so that I can load the info needed for generation of subsequent links.
As a newb to all of this I'm not really sure where to start looking or what to try. I've wondered about creating an object with custom key pairs to 'memorise' the identity of each photoset picture. Is this the way to go, or is there an easier way that I am overlooking?
Thanks.
Say you have your pictures being put out this way:
Template.mytemplate.helpers({
picture:function() {
return pictures.find()
}
});
You can also do this instead, which is pretty much the same thing:
Template.mytemplate.picture = function() {
return pictures.find();
}
With the html
<template name="pictures">
{{#each picture}}
<img src="{{src}}" class="pictureselector"/>
{{/each}}
</template>
You can use events which can get data from that particular picture document/record
Template.mytemplate.events({
'click .pictureselector':function(event,template) {
console.log(this._id); //Should give you the `_id` of the picture that was clicked
}
});
this is the data context of the element that was clicked & generate the link you want using the data inside this.
Be careful if you use something with a callback inside the click like Meteor.call, you will have to relay the message down via var self = this otherwise the context of this would become the one of Meteor.call
