I've learned the other day that Selenium throws exception about the selector if it is CSS selector and contains :visible. This is a drawback for me. How can I get around this?
In Katalon Studio, you can execute JavaScript (jQuery, in this case).
For example, the following will paint yellow all the <a> elements that contain :visible:
WebUI.executeJavaScript('return $("a:visible").css("backgroundColor", "yellow")', [])

I would need to add an autocomplete chips component in our Angular 1.6 application. We are using Typescript, Webpack 2. As we are already using angular-ui-bootstrap, we do not want to introduce also angular-material in order to avoid style conflicts. However the wished result is exactly what material chips provide.
Is there a directive or component that i can use in my case? I found this library but it runs endless exceptions when I import it.
unfortunately I could find only partial solutions with bootstrap typehead, but then I would need to implement all the "chips" part, making me think of re-inventing the wheel.
Stack Newb here. I have an identical problem as yours. Here's how I resolved this:
1. Resolve the ReferenceError: error is not defined within the angular-chips library
The library you used (angular-chips) wasn't designed with typescript in mind. So, you'll first need to resolve the following error ReferenceError: error is not defined by defining it for them in the line above with var error;. This should prepare angular-chips for your webpack useage.
The second issue you'll find is how to add your typeahead-template-url with webpack in the mix. Rather than referring to a separate html file, use an inline template as referenced here: Bootstrap-UI Typeahead display more than one property in results list?.
If you're lazy like me and don't want to follow that hyperlink, use this as example:
2. Template to be added before the <chips> tag:
<script type="text/ng-template" id="yourTemplate.html">
<a tabindex="-1">
<i ng-class="'icon-'+match.model.type"></i>
<span ng-bind-html-unsafe="match.model.title | typeaheadHighlight:query"></span>
</a>
</scrip>
3. Include template in your directive:
typeahead-template-url:"yourTemplate.html"
Worked like a charm for me.
i am trying to Automate flipkart website in which i am trying to change address but "add new adress" is not getting clicked i have attached the snapshot
my code is like driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='ng-app']/div/div[2]/ul/li[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a/span")).click();
please give the appropriate help
I doesn't look that you are clicking active element, the xpath is //*[#id='ng-app']/div/div[2]/ul/li[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a/span not correct it clicks on some span.
Use Firepath https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firepath/ to get the xpath.
To ensure that button is clickable Use isDisplayed() and isEnabled() method before clicking on "Add New Address" button, this method return boolean value.
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='ng-app']/div/div[2]/ul/li[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a/span")).isDisplayed();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='ng-app']/div/div[2]/ul/li[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a/span")).isEnabled();
Also you can verify that element is exist on page or not using below code
if(driver.findElements(byVal).size()!=0){
// Element is present.
}
hope it may helpful to identify cause of issue, why its not clickable.
First and foremost, Use a customized Xpath instead of the one you are using which is extracted directly from the browser. If no customized Xpath can be constructed then try a customized Css or any other locator if possible.
Try to go through the following attempts in order (I hope you can grasp why this is):
1- If .click() still doesn’t work, then keep on changing the values of the attributes you are using to construct your customized xpath, cssSelector, or locator.
2- Use the Actions class.
3- Use JavaScript executioner
4- instead of click(), try using any of: .sendKeys(“\n”). Or .sendKeys(keys.ENTER) or .sendKeys(keys.RETURN)
<div class="html5-video-player iv-module-created iv-module-loaded endscreen-created paused-mode" tabindex="-1" id="player_uid_960859542_1" data-version="//s.ytimg.com/yts/jsbin/player-en_US-vfl_cdzrt/base.js" aria-label="YouTube Video Player">
Is there a way for me to select the above element? The id is randomly generated each time and is the css selector (#player_uid_960859542_1) and xpath (//*[#id="player_uid_960859542_1"]). I've tried using the class but it's a compound name. I tried By.cssSelector(".html5-video-player.iv-module-created.iv-module-loaded.endscreen-created.paused-mode") but that also failed.
The mentioned XPath and CSS path is not working because the value of ID is generated dynamically and both XPath and CSS are designed such that it takes ID value to generate the paths while using firebug. however you can try this XPath :
//*[#data-version='//s.ytimg.com/yts/jsbin/player-en_US-vfl_cdzrt/base.js'][#aria-label='YouTube Video Player] In case if it doesn't work you have an option to find a stable element in the DOM and then have an privilage of moving on parent node, child node or sibling node (watch the video for more detail; links are below).
Earlier I was facing the very similar issue and after a lot of R&D I found many ways to handle it using XPath and CSS selector customization.
I have made a video to get the more insights of it. Watch these two videos:
Create XPath for dynamic elements and
Create CSS path for dynamic elements
I'm sure it will help you out as there are many ways to design path to reach out to this element.
I have a pagination list, that is essentially constructed like so (I am using AngularJS):
<span id="latestResultsIndicator">
<ul>
<li ng-click="Item.action()"><span>1</span></li>
<li ng-click="Item.action()"><span>2</span></li>
</ul>
</span>
This works great in HTML, but when I try to write an integration test using Selenium WebDriver and the Fluent API I run into problems.
Specifically I want to click on the second li, to do this I am using the following code
I.Assert.Exists("#latestResultsIndicator");
var secondPageElement = I.Find("#latestResultsIndicator ul li:nth-child(2)");
I.Click(secondPageElement);
This doesn't actually work! If I use jQuery in the Chrome console to do $("#latestResultsIndicator ul li:nth-child(2)").trigger("click") then the second page is selected, so I know the selector is correct.
To test further I added a double click like so:
I.DoubleClick(secondPageElement);
What I noticed here is that the very first li gets selected. Its as if its trying to click or select the wrong one! (See the image).
What is happening?
I know Webdriver has some issues with css pseudo-selectors such as nth-child. You might be able to make it work with Xpath, which is just as fast and just as flexible.
var webDriver = (IWebDriver)I.Provider;
webDriver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[#id='latestResultsIndicator']//ul//li[2]")).Click();
Not sure if it will work or not, as I have not used FluentAutomation.
The CSS selector as it is written in your question is not correct
"#latestResultsIndicator ul li:nth-child(2)"
The UL has the id you're looking for, so it should be
"ul#latestResultsIndicator li:nth-child(2)"
Not sure whether that is going to solve your problem, but it's a place to start. If not, please update with the results
Is it possible to get an element by its name like you can with jQuery?
I'm trying to do the equivalent of the jQuery selector like in jQuery
$('h1')
how is this done with protractor?
I tried
element('h1')
but it doesn't work
There's a couple ways to do this - you can either get it by tagName or by css selector. So any of the following work:
element(by.css('h1')); // works with any css selector
$('h1'); // works with any css selector
element(by.tagName('h1'));
The answer was finally found on github they have a test file that shows all the selectors
element(by.css('h1'));
element(by.css('.my-class'));
