I am clicking to modal window which is pretty simple. In general only relevant part is this:
<div id="partSelection">
<button value="0" name="partSelection">BLATNÍK P L</button>
<button value="1" name="partSelection">BLATNÍK P P</button>
I need to click one of this button, I know how to click this with:
xpath:
element(by.xpath('//*[#id="partSelection"]/button[2]')).click();
also way with button text:
element(by.buttonText("BLATNÍK P P")).click();
but I noticed there as different values for each button and I belieave this is something which is not going to change by developers. Is there a way how to click element base on value?
Thank you for your advises.
Adding to an existing answer.
You can solve it using the following CSS selector:
element(by.css("#partSelection button[value=0]")).click();
Or, using a by.xpath() locator:
element(by.xpath("//div[#id='partSelection']/button[#value='0']")).click();
Note that, if you are going to use the "by value" technique often, to follow the DRY principle, it could be a good idea to define a custom by.value() locator:
How to globally add a custom locator to Protractor?
this example should work if you want to just look up a specific attribute. I usually refer to this css selectors when I'm trying to figure out the best way to find a specific attribute.
basically the breakdown is to find the tag you want in our case we want button and then we want to find the attribute within that tag. So we have the choice of value or name. Name is the same for both buttons so we don't want to use that. However the value is different for each button so that would be good to use in this case.
element(by.ccs('tag[attribute=""]');
tag = button
attribute = value
element(by.css('button[value="0"]')).click(); // button with text BLATNÍK P L
element(by.css('button[value="1"]')).click(); // button with text BLATNÍK P P

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();
My HTML code for a NEXT button which I am trying to click is:
<input type="submit" name="ctl00$ctl00$MainContent$ChildContent1$btnStep2_Submit" value="Next" onclick="waitBtn(event,'df_step2');
OverlayProgressPanel_NoSub('ctl00_ctl00_MainContent_ChildContent1_fsLoanData','ctl00_ctl00_upProgress');
" id="ctl00_ctl00_MainContent_ChildContent1_btnStep2_Submit" class="btn" onmouseover="hov(this,'btn btnhov');" onmouseout="hov(this,'btn')" />
Am using the below code to click that next button:
xpath = ".//*[#id='ctl00_ctl00_MainContent_ChildContent1_btnStep2_Submit' and #type='submit']"; // Next Button
Function_Classes.field_click(driver,xpath); // Click on Next button
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
But,it looks like the button is getting clicked but not going to the next page where there is one more NEXT button
I am getting below exception :
Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":".//*[#id='ctl00_ctl00_MainContent_ChildContent1_btnStep3_Submit' and #type='submit']"}
ctl00_ctl00_MainContent_ChildContent1_btnStep3_Submit = this is the button on the next page and since I am not getting the next page on clicking the first NEXT button ,I would think that might be the reason..
Can you please help me here?
IDs by HTML standards should be unique on the page so you shouldn't need to specify anything other than the ID in the locator. That will simplify your locators. So, in this case you can use By.id().
You've added an implicit wait in the middle of your script. That leads me to believe that you don't understand how implicit waits work. An implicit wait is set once for the driver instance and lasts the life of the driver. Generally you would put this statement near the top of your script. I would advise against using implicit waits and instead prefer explicit waits (WebDriverWait). I've rewritten the code. I think the below should work.
By next2Locator = By.id("ctl00_ctl00_MainContent_ChildContent1_btnStep2_Submit");
By next3Locator = By.id("ctl00_ctl00_MainContent_ChildContent1_btnStep3_Submit");
driver.findElement(next2Locator).click();
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(next3Locator)).click();
Suggestion: Don't overcomplicate your code by adding wrapper functions around .click(), etc. There's really no need for it. It makes your code harder to read and introduces unnecessary complexity. Keep it as simple as you can.
There is a problem inside your html, Because Threre are few functions are available inside your html, and you didn't call all functions properly. so your button click event was not fire. functions name like this waitBtn, hov.

I'm trying to get google tag manager to track a couple of different buttons on a site. We're currently unable to change the site to aid with this, so we have to find a solution solely with tag manager.
There are several buttons on the site all with the same format as to the two below.. they all have "submit" as the type and a unique term for value so I'm trying to use the tag manager Form Listener which picks up on type="submit". Is there any variable I can use to pull the value field into my event so I can create individual goals in analytics?
etc etc
Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can use built-in variable "Click Element", then create custom JS-variable:
function(){
try{
return {{element}}.getAttribute("value"); //I am not sure now if it is {{element}} or {{Click Element}}
}catch(err){}
}
This will give you a value attribute of clicked button.
Maybe a useful link by Simo Ahava:
http://www.simoahava.com/analytics/track-form-engagement-with-google-tag-manager/#3
You can use built-in auto-event variable Element Attribute to get value. And be sure to use click tracking and not form tracking, because you want to track button clicks and not form submissions.
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 think I have some sort of special code here as all I could google was "too simple" for my problem and it also didn't helped to come to a solution by myself, sadly.
I got a radio button group of 2 radios. I am iterating over "type" data from the backend to create the radio buttons.
My problem is the data binding: When I want to edit an object its "type" is set correctly, but not registered by the view so it doesn't select the desired option.
Follwing my situation:
Backend providing me this as "typeList":
[
{"text":"cool option","enumm":"COOL"},
{"text":"option maximus","enumm":"MAX"}
]
HTML Code:
<span ng-repeat="type in typeList track by type.enumm">
<input
type="radio"
name="type" required
ng-model="myCtrl.object.type"
ng-value="type">
{{type.text}}
</span>
Some Explanation
I don't want to use "naked" texts, I want to use some sort of identifier - in this case it is an enum. The chosen value shall be the entire "type", not only "type.text" as the backend expects type, and not a simple String.
So all I do with this is always a package thingy, the type.text is for like formatted/internationlized text etc.
A Pre-Selection works by setting this in the controller: this.object.type = typeList[0];
The first radio button is already selected, wonderful.
But why isn't it selected when editing the object. I made a "log" within the HTML with {{myCtrl.object.type}} and the result is {"text":"cool option","enumm":"COOL"}. The very same like when pre selecting. I already work with the same "technique" using select inputs, and it works fine. I also found some google results saying "use $parent because of parent/child scope". But 1) I didn't get that straight and 2) think it is not the problem here, as I use a controllers scope and not the $scope, or is this thinking wrong?
It might be explained badly, sorry if so, but I hope someone 1) get's what I want and 2) knows a solution for it.
Thank you!
If you're trying to bind to elements from an array, I believe you need to assign the actual elements from the array to your model property.
So this creates a new obj and sets it to $scope.selectedType (not what you want):
$scope.selectedType = {"text":"cool option","enumm":"COOL"};
whereas this assigns the first element of the array (which is what you want)
$scope.selectedType = $scope.typeList[0];
So to change the model, you can lookup the entry from the array and assign it to your model with something like this
$scope.selectedType = $scope.typeList.filter(...)
Here's a quick example of this approach http://plnkr.co/edit/wvq8yH7WIj7rH2SBI8qF
