Alright, so I thought this would be easy but I've spend a few hours searching and trying different methods with no avail. I need to tell protractor to only click on a button when it is present. To water it down basically my test checks if a certain value is present on a page. The page can be in one of two states, automatic mode, which contains my value I'm testing or design mode, which contains other values which are irrelevant for this test. If its in design mode, we first need to click on automatic mode which produces a prompt asking us if we are sure we want to continue and switch to automatic mode - this prompt contains the continue button I need to check for and click. If the page is already in automatic mode however, I don't need to perform this check, I can proceed to validate weather or not my value is present. Basically I tried this:
if (continueButton.isDisplayed()) {
continueButton.click();
}
what happens I get a "No element found using locator:..." error. I tried a few different ways such as using isElementPresent, and some of the expected condition options but more or less I get the same results. How can I achieve this scenario where my test checks if a button is present and clicks it, and if it isn't present continues with the test.
You can achieve this by using promises.
continueButton.isDisplayed().then(function (isDisplayed) {
if(isDisplayed){
continueButton.click();
}
});
browser.wait() and elementToBeClickable Expected Condition is exactly what might help:
var EC = protractor.ExpectedConditions;
browser.wait(EC.elementToBeClickable(continueButton), 5000);
continueButton.click();

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

Umbraco uses angularJS as based library and backoffice totally developed on it. The reason telling first is to tell that I have a field on which URL regular expression applied. If someone entered invalid url like below image
it shows error as need.
But if a user try to remove whole text by selecting it and removing at once. It still keep appearing the error like this
However, if a user erase text one by one like this
then the validation error removed and user need to click on button to see error again.
I would to know how screen 3 state can be achievable when user remove all text together? Its really annoying behavior for a user to remove text character one by one to refresh the state of the field. Screen 3 state should be applied on screen 2.
Can anybody tell me how it can fix or achievable? Right now, it seems like a default behavior.
Looking forward to hear from you guys. Suggestions will be much appreciatable.

I've looked into this issue. This seems to be a product bug.
When you remove whole text at once, newValue is an empty string and the code responsible for resetting error messages doesn't run. If you have access to the umbraco code, you can easily fix it by removing highlighted check:
Running a test where a dropdown list is selected from. However, after running the first spec, the option tag can no longer be selected. I've isolated each spec to make sure they are working. This issue only occurs when tests are run in succession.
Here is the code I am using to select the dropdown options:
element.all(by.cssContainingText('option', keyword)).first().click();
This is the error that I am receiving after the second test runs:
Failed: Index out of bound. Trying to access element at index: 0, but there are only 0 elements that match locator by.cssContainingText("option", "keyword")
HTML:
<select>
<option>David</option>
<option>Karen</option>
<option>Linda</option>
<option>Charlie</option>
Keyword used: David
It says there are 0 elements on the page which means it is not recognizing the option values. Every test works when run alone, the drop down is able to be selected. This error only occurs when run in succession.
Also I've added browser sleeps to check the console and to see if the dropdown is clickable. There appears to be no errors and when using my mouse, the option tags appear and are also clickable. Also added waits and sleeps to see if it just takes some time for the options to appear. Seems to be an issue with protractor identifying the options.
I'm trying to click search button on flipkart through Selenium Webdriver using Java, i'm able to click the button by the X-path and i written 'Boolean' to display button was clicked.
Here's the code:
WebElement search = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='fk-header-search-form']/div/div/div[2]/input[1]"));
search.click();
boolean clicked = search.isEnabled();
System.out.println("Serach Button Clicked"+clicked);
If page is change after click on button, it is normal to not find element. You perform a search peocess, after click, new page being loading.
Another point, isEnabled, everytime returns true except disabled. In this situation, it looks already active.
There are a few issues.
.isEnabled() Determines whether the element is enabled. According to the docs, this is pretty much always going to be true except in a case where there's an INPUT that is disabled (which doesn't apply here). So your code is just telling you that the Search button is not disabled, not whether you clicked it or not.
You didn't post enough code to tell why you are getting this error. I can see what you are trying to do and wrote a simple example of how to do this.
Try this
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.flipkart.com/");
By searchBoxLocator = By.id("fk-top-search-box");
By searchButtonLocator = By.cssSelector("input[value='Search']");
driver.findElement(searchBoxLocator).sendKeys("watch");
driver.findElement(searchButtonLocator).click();
I would suggest that you use something other than XPaths. They are brittle and slower than other methods. In the code above, I used a CSS Selector. Read some tutorials and use this page as a reference. They are very powerful and are, IMHO, better than XPath. There is some stuff that can only be done with XPath... avoid XPath until you hit one of those cases.
I am trying to figure out how to make a hyperlink in a Livecycle Form which points to a URL which will change on different days that the form is rendered. For example on one day I might want the hyperlink to point to:
mywebsite/mypage?option=XXX
and on another day I want it to point to:
mywebsite/mypage?option=YYY
The XXX and YYY can be passed into the form's data pretty easily as XML, but I just don't know how to make it so that the hyperlink is changed to correspond to this.
Any suggestions?
This can be accomplished with JavaScript in LiveCycle Designer. The following script, placed on the Form's docReady event will let you dynamically change the URL of a text object.
form1::docReady - (JavaScript, client)
// If this code is running on the server, you don't want it to run any code
// that might force a relayout, or you could get stuck in an infinite loop
if (xfa.host.name != "XFAPresentationAgent") {
// You would load the URL that you want into this variable, based on
// whatever XML data is being passed into your form
var sURL = "www.stackoverflow.com"; // mywebsite/mypage?option=xxx
// URLs are encoded in XHTML. In order to change the URL, you need
// to create the right XHTML string and push it into the Text object's
// <value> node. This is a super simple XHTML shell for this purpose.
// You could add all sorts of markup to make your hyperlink look pretty
var sRichText = "<body><p>Foo</p></body>";
// Assuming you have a text object called "Text1" on the form, this
// call will push the rich text into the node. Note that this call
// will force a re-layout of the form
this.resolveNode("Text1").value.exData.loadXML(sRichText, false, true);
}
There are a couple of caveats: URLs in Acrobat are only supported in Acrobat 9.0 and later. So if someone using an older version of Acrobat opens your form, the URLs won't work.
Also, as you can see from the "if (xfa.host.name !=...)" line, this code won't run properly if the form is being generated on the server, because forcing a re-layout of a form during docReady can cause problems on certain older versions of the LiveCycle server. If you do need to run this script on the server, you should probably pick a different event then form::docReady.
I a number of complaints from users in WorkSpace that clicking links opened them in the same tab so they lost their WorkSpace form, and there's no option to change that in Designer 11. I think the solution I came up with for that would work for you too.
I made buttons with no border and no background, and in their click event have this line (in Javascript, run at client)
app.launchURL("http:/stackoverflow.com/", true);
It would be easy to add some logic to choose the right URL based on the day and it doesn't cause any form re-rendering.
In some spots where the hyperlink is in line with other text, I leave the text of the link blue and underlined but with no hyperlink, and just place the button (no background, no border, no caption) over it. Does require positioned and not flowed subforms for that to work, so depending on your layout it could get a little clunky.
Wow, just realized I am super late to the party. Well, for anyone using ES4 facing a similar problem . . .
Ended up using a 3rd party component to manipulate the PDF's hyperlinks...wish there was a better solution as this one costs about $1000.
