...can you have answer for this query?
I am unable to click the Go button, even though using classname,xpath method.
can any one help us how to click that button?
Here is the answer to your Question:
The Go button is within a frame. So first you need to switch to the frame then locate the element and perform click() as follows:
//your code lines
driver.switchTo().frame("Main");
//your code lines
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[#name='go']")).click();
Alternative xpath :
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//form[#name='main']//button[#name='go']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//form[#name='main']//button[text()='GO']")).click();
Let me know if this Answers your Question.
Try with CSS instead.
driver.switchTo().frame("main");
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("tr .buttonImage")).click();

I right clicked the button, selected "Inspect" command and copied and used both XPATH and full XPATH. Neither of them worked for any of the commands below.
xpath = '//*[#id="ember949"]/footer/button[1]'
xpath_full = '/html/body/div[3]/div/div[2]/artdeco-tabs/artdeco-tabpanel[2]/form/footer/button[1]'
button = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, xpath)))
button = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, xpath_full)))
Can someone please explain? Thank you.
Without the HTML, I cannot give a definitive answer.
Looks like the first id may be dynamic and could change.
As for the second one, the full XPaths are brittle and I do not use them at all.
There could be an iframe that you should switch to first.
You could try searching the entire page for a button element with the continue-btn class:
//button[#class='continue-btn']
I would recommend using the Selector / CSS Selector. In the code just change
By.XPATH
to:
By.CSS_SELECTOR
and instead of copying the XPATH copy the Selector or in some cases CSS Selector.
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)
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'm having trouble trying to click on on a button within a form.
I've tried xpath, cssselector, className, id, but still cannot find it.
Here's the HTML snippet for the button:
<input type="button" value="Continue" id="ni-reg-btn-register" class="btnNext ni-reg-btn-register">
I'm using WebDriver in Java
Getting this trace:
org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with
Command duration or timeout: 30.09 seconds
Frequency: 100%
Browser: Firefox
URL: https://subscription.thetimes.co.uk/webjourney/webj_capturecustomerdetails
I've tried each of the following lines of code one by one (but no luck):
driver.findElement(By.className("btnNext ni-reg-btn-register")).click();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("buttons#ni-reg-btn-register.btnNext ni-reg-btn-register")).click();
List<WebElement> buttonlist= driver.findElements(By.className("btnNext ni-reg-btn-register"));
driver.findElement(By.id("ni-reg-btn-register")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id="ni-reg-btn-register"]")).click();
I was able to click the Continue Button using the below xpath.
//input[#id='ni-reg-btn-register']
I would suggest trying a WebDriverWait call to wait for the element in question to exist on the page prior to interacting with it. The Java documentation can be found here. It appears that while you are using the correct locator and your page is working, there is a timing issue where Selenium is trying to access the element prior to it being loaded.
EDIT: I was unable to locate an element on the provided page with the supplied id. I assume I am missing a step, but I did a search on the HTML for that page and found nothing.
I dont find the above button on the page link you provided ..
better chk the page link and try to give some wait statement after page load ...
implicit wait would be better or simpli Thread.sleep(2000);
I'm using Selenium Webdriver to test a web page.
The web page http://www.leaseplan.nl/contact/index.asp has two buttons, one button with button text 'Zoeken' and one with button text 'Verstuur'. I want to click on the button with button text 'Verstuur' either by using XPath or CssSelector with the following code:
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/div[3]/div[2]/div[2]/form/fieldset/a/span")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("fieldset.contact_form > a.button > span.button_center")).Click();
But using the either one of the above lines of code, on the button with text 'Zoeken' is clicked on instead.
This button has quite a similar CssSelector and XPath:
fieldset.header_search a.button span.button_center
/html/body/div[3]/div/form/fieldset/a/span[2]
Does anybody know how to solve this?
Try this out with the cssSelector and tell me if it's work.
For "verstuur" :
By.cssSelector("div.content form a.button")
Solution :
Ok, i've found your problem. Your xpath is good but now, your action on the click submit the first form, so the form with "Zoeken".
onclick="document.forms[0].submit();" // submit the 1st form, the bad one !
Try this :
onclick="document.forms["form"].submit();" // submit the 2nd form, the good one !
//or
onclick="document.forms[1].submit();"
proof : Jsfiddle
xpath for ZOEKEN /html/body/div[3]/div/form/fieldset/a/span[2]
xpath for VERSTUUR /html/body/div[3]/div[2]/div[2]/form/fieldset/a/span[2]
Try this:
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//span[text()='Verstuur']")).click();
Edit:
I think you want to learn Selenium that's why you are using 3rd party websites. If you really want to learn Selenium find some opensource applications to automate. Here is a good application to automate -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sugarcrm/files/1%20-%20SugarCRM%206.5.X/FastStack/
Download the latest version and install.
Find more info about the website and selenium stuff here. It's so good..
http://selftechy.com/2011/02/05/introduction-to-selenium-web-application-test-automation-tool
Zoeken: driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[1]/form/fieldset/a/span[2]")).click();
Verstuur : driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[2]/form/fieldset/a/span[2]")).click();
Using xpath is easy but slow.
