I need help to open link while scraping the www.apartments.com website.The link is actually a pagination link that is populated by javascript/jquery.
Here is how the link looks like:
<a class="pagination-link" data-page="2" href="#">2</a>
This my selenium script to find and click the link:
pagination = browser.find_element_by_link_text('2')
pagination.click()
Selenium does find the link and click. Another opened but it's not the page 2. I know that happens because the href="#" points to same page.
Any help will be appreciated.
It's a good idea to give full examples of your code and fully explain the errors you're getting. Having said that, here is my stab at what you should do. C# example, adjust as necessary:
Note: this is using a CSS selector, rather than link text
int pageNumber = 2;
IWebElement paginationLink = _webDriver.FindElement(By.CssSelector(".pagination-link[data-page='" + pageNumber + "']"));
paginationLink.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 '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 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
This is such a great script called fullPage.js located here: https://github.com/alvarotrigo/fullPage.js
I managed to load the js file and css file and even with the Void Menu Module, managed to call anchor links, but I'm struggling with the data attributes part of the implementation of this cool code! Any help is greatly appreciated! How do I get data-attributes to work in Drupal 7.25? I mean, I need to add them to the menu, so that the html looks something like this:
<ul id="menu">
<li data-menuanchor="firstPage">First slide</li>
<li data-menuanchor="secondPage">Second slide</li>
<li data-menuanchor="3rdPage">Third slide</li>
<li data-menuanchor="4thpage">Fourth slide</li>
</ul>
Just want to add it to the Main Menu in Drupal. Any idea how? Am trying to implement this on my homepage and using the Adaptive Sub-Theme with Display Suite Module installed, if that helps any.
Have added the following to template.php, but it makes no difference at all:
function MY_THEME_NAME_menu_link(&$variables) {
$variables['element']['#attributes']['data-menuanchor'] = substr($variables['element']['href'], 1);
return theme_menu_link($variables);
}
What am I doing wrong here?
EDIT
You can download the sitemaniacs theme here: http://dream-portal.net/dpdowns/MyProblem.zip
You can just download Adaptive Theme from Drupal here and than copy sitemaniacs to your sites/all/themes folder and than just enable the theme and go to your homepage.
There is also a folder called fullPage that is the example of it working perfectly fine without Drupal.
Files to take note of:
/sites/all/themes/sitemaniacs/scripts/custom.js
/sites/all/themes/sitemaniacs/template.php
/sites/all/themes/sitemaniacs/css/example2.css
/sites/all/themes/sitemaniacs/sitemaniacs.info
Let me know if you need anything else, k?
And Thank YOU!!! What I've done is create 4 Basic Pages, and using the Field Formatter Class Module to give the body field a class (when managing the Display) defined as section, than promoted to front page. Than I used HTML within another Node Type and used NodeBlock Module to output it as a menu item within the Menu Bar section of the blocks, with url <front>. Let me know if you need anything else for this, but I can't get it to work using this simple approach. I've tried tons of ways of doing it also, but no go for me. If you find a method that works, or perhaps something is wrong somewhere else, please please let me know.... I'm pulling out my hair on this one.
Have tried straight HTML, and now getting this:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'top' of undefined jquery.fullPage.js?mzf0rp:506
scrollPage jquery.fullPage.js?mzf0rp:506
doneResizing jquery.fullPage.js?mzf0rp:889
The first error seems to occur in the scrollPage function on this line here:
var dtop = dest !== null ? dest.top : null;
Looks like dest.top is not defined on .top. Any idea why?
Use the Menu Link Attributes module that will let you add custom attributes per menu item.
for "href" you can use <'front'>#4thpage(front without any “cotation”) in path in menu that you create in Structure > Menus and use the Menu Link Attributes module for other attributes
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.
