I do not know how to locate the pseudo element ,while using robotframework-selenium2Library to do web test.
Any help is useful.Thanks.
the test script is like below:
Click Element my_element
ID:
Click Element | id=my_element Matches by #id attribute
Thank to Alex Bruce, it works.
Pseudo web elements wont be part of DOM so it is not possible to get attribute value from selenium2library. Instead we can get it from Execute Javascript like below snippet.
${attribute_value}= Execute Javascript return window.getComputedStyle(${element},${pseudo_element}).getPropertyValue('${attribute}');
I was looking for same and found great working code in below link. (JFI - No promo)
Check key "Get Pseudo Element CSS Attribute Value" in the below link.

I have below snippet of html code which is created using reactjs and could you please help me out finding xpath for the same? When I try with chromepath it is throwing this error "This is a pseudo element and selectors can't be generated for pseudo element".
Snippet:
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 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 tried to locate an element on the page with the following but couldn't do.
element(by.css('.organizer-text.ng-binding')).click();
element(by.className('organizer-text')).click();
element(by.linkText('All Cases(1)')).click();
element(by.css('span[class="organizer-text"]')).click();
element(by.css('span[ng-class="{'folder-selected' : isSelected(node)}"]')).click();
element(by.css('span[title="All Cases (1)"')).click();
element(by.xpath('div//span[title()="All Cases(1)"]')).click();
Attaching the screenshot of the element with the DOM. Could you please help me on how to locate it?
<span class="organizer-text ng-binding"
tooltip="buildLabel(node.name, node.totalCases)"
ng-click="onLabelClick($event, node)"
ng-class="{'folder-selected' : isSelected(node)}"
ng-show="!node.showEditName" title="All Cases (1)">
All Cases (1)
</span>
The structure is div->span->multiple spans here (one of the spans here is the element)
try
element(by.xpath('//span[#title="All Cases(1)"]')).click();
I used browser.ignoreSynchronization = true; after logging into the page and it worked.
Looks like you found your answer yourself. But, this is for your own information. Just try this work flow out.
Right-click of your element and get the inspect element window.
Go to inspect element of the element and right-click
There will be a window with some options
Select copy Unique Selector option.
element(by.css('paste your Unique Selector here')).click();
Like step 5 paste your unique selector
Hope this helps. :)
I am writing an automation test script using Robot Framework & Selenium2Library for testing our web application( in .txt format) . One of my test cases involves to check the CSS style attribute of an HTML tag.
Is there any specific keyword in Robot Framework to obtain the CSS style attribute of an html element?
Here is my testing scenario:
<div id="check_style" style="width:20px;height:20px;background-color:#ffcc00;"></div>
Now, I have to store the background color of this particular html tag into a variable ${bg_color}. Is there any specific keyword in Robot Framework to do this process?
Can you please suggest an effective way to handle this situation?
I think we can make use of this javascript function for the above mentioned purpose :
document.getElementById("check_style").style["background-color"]
But how to make use of this particular function to store the value of background-color inot a variable ${bg_color} ?
( I have tried to execute ${bg_color} = Execute Javascript document.getElementById("check_style").style["background-color"],
but didn't work ! )
You can use the Selenium2Library Get Element Attribute keyword to get the style attribute:
| | ${style}= | Get element attribute | id=check_style#style
You can then either use a regular expression to find the background color attribute or do some additional parsing. The latter would be easier to do in python than with robot keywords.
For example, if you understand regular expressions, something like the following might work. Of course, you'll probably want to add some bullet-proofing.
| | ${style}= | get element attribute | id=check_style#style
| | ${color}= | evaluate | re.search("background-color: *(.*?);", '''${style}''').group(1) | re
Note: you might not get the same literal value as is in the raw HTML. For example, on my machine ${color} comes back as rgb(255, 204, 0) even though the color in the HTML is #ffcc00.
For whatever reason I had a bunch of trouble getting this to work. I think it's because my CSS was defined in an external file (therefore pulling the style attribute came up empty).
Also note that RF now has changed the definition of Get Element Attribute to take two parameters, not one.
I'd like to pass along a great solution I found after a bunch of searching -- I found this amazing keyword here How to get the css style of text-overflow in robot framework
*** Keywords ***
Get CSS Property Value
[Documentation]
... Get the CSS property value of an Element.
...
... This keyword retrieves the CSS property value of an element. The element
... is retrieved using the locator.
...
... Arguments:
... - locator (string) any Selenium Library supported locator xpath/css/id etc.
... - property_name (string) the name of the css property for which the value is returned.
...
... Returns (string) returns the string value of the given css attribute or fails.
...
[Arguments] ${locator} ${attribute name}
${css}= Get WebElement ${locator}
${prop_val}= Call Method ${css} value_of_css_property ${attribute name}
[Return] ${prop_val}
after which I could simply run
${style}= Get CSS Property Value class:logo background-image
and do a plain text comparison. Sub in any CSS value for background-image and have fun with this!
Get css value using javascript in robot framework. link here
# Get element using Xpath in JavaScript.
${element}= Set Variable document.evaluate("${xpath_locator}", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue
# Get css attribute value using getComputedStyle()
${attribute_value}= Execute Javascript return window.getComputedStyle(${element},null).getPropertyValue('${css_attribute}');
Log ${attribute_value}
