I'm trying to verify elements state with the same data selectors in loop. There are multiple images with the same data selector value.
*** Variables ***
${CARD_IMAGE} //*[#data-selector="image"]
*** Keywords ***
#{IMAGES} Get Elements ${CARD_IMAGE}
Loop
FOR ${OBJECT} IN #{IMAGES}
Wait For Elements State ${OBJECT} visible
END
But I'm having:
elementHandle.waitForSelector: selector: expected string, got object
Is there any way to verify elements in such conditions?

I am trying to get href attribute from an html list using Robot Framework keywords. For example suppose the html code
<ul class="my-list">
<li class="my-listitem"><a href="...">...</li>
...
<li class="my-listitem"><a href="...">...</li>
</ul>
I have tried to use the keywords WebElement, WebElements and for loop without success. How can I do it?
This is my MWE
*** Test Cases ***
#{a tags} = Create List
#{href attr} = Create List
#{li items} = Get WebElements class:my-listitem
FOR ${li} IN #{li items}
${a tag} = Get WebElement tag:a
Append To List #{a tags} ${a tag}
END
FOR ${a tag} IN #{a tags}
${attr} = Get Element Attribute css:my-listitem href
Append To List #{href attr} ${attr}
END
Thanks in advance.
The href is an attribute of the a elements, not the li, thus you need to target them. Get a reference for all such elements, and then get their href in the loop:
${the a-s}= Get WebElements xpath=//li[#class='my-listitem']/a # by targeting the correct element, the list is a reference to all such "a" elements
${all href}= Create List
FOR ${el} IN #{the a-s} # loop over each of them
${value}= Get Element Attribute ${el} href # get the individual href
Append To List ${all href} ${value} # and store it in a result list
END
Log To Console ${all href}
Here is a possible solution (not tested):
#{my_list}= Get WebElements xpath=//li[#class='my-listitem']
FOR ${element} IN #{my_list}
${attr}= Get Element Attribute ${element} href
Log ${attr} html=True
END
i have a script that works with internet explorder (ie) and i need to loop the select fields, that it zelf is no ploblem bu the 4 elements got the same ID (on the same page).
How do i let it loop through the 4 fields?
Can i make them more spesified?
the code i use is the following:
ie.document.getElementByID("DownloadImage").Click
The ie code is the following:
field 1
<a id="DownloadButton" href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ctl00$MainContent$MainContent$ctl00$declaratiebestandView$RetourInformatieGrid$ctl03$DownloadButton','')">CZ_Specificatie_150005697.pdf</a>
field 2
<a id="DownloadButton" href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ctl00$MainContent$MainContent$ctl00$declaratiebestandView$RetourInformatieGrid$ctl03$DownloadButton','')">CZ_Specificatie_150005697.pdf</a><input name="ctl00$ctl00$MainContent$MainContent$ctl00$declaratiebestandView$RetourInformatieGrid$ctl03$DownloadImage" class="inlineButton" id="DownloadImage" type="image" src="../images/download.png" text="CZ_Specificatie_150005697.pdf">
then it opens the download screen, and then my code continue's (and works :) )
You can loop them by using querySelectorAll to gather all the elements with an id attribute whose values match what you are after. You can distinguish between them by index. This method will allow you to gather them even though the ids are repeating. However, the HTML you have shared downloads the same document so a loop doesn't seem necessary.
Dim nodeList As Object, i As Long
Set nodeList = ie.document.querySelectorAll("[id=DownloadButton]")
For i = 0 to nodeList.Length-1
nodeList.item(i).Click
Next
That loops all of the matching elements and clicks
By index will be specific but if you familiarize yourself with CSS selectors there are a vast number of possibilities for specifying an element.
The id in HTLM must be unique. If it is not unique it is no valid HTML and should be fixed.
HTML4:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html
Section 7.5.2:
id = name [CS]
This attribute assigns a name to an element. This name must be unique in a document.
HTML5:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/dom.html#the-id-attribute
The id attribute specifies its element's unique identifier (ID). The
value must be unique amongst all the IDs in the element's home subtree
and must contain at least one character. The value must not contain
any space characters.
I have more than one element on page which has same xpath and same id/name , there are two fields on page with same locators i tried to enter value at desired location with below code
element.all(by.xpath('//*[#id="testInstanceScan"]')).get(1).sendKeys('Vkumar');
but I faced error message:
Failed: Index out of bound. Trying to access element at index: 1, but
there are only 1 elements that match locator By(xpath,
//*[#id="testInstanceScan"] )
if i used element.all('#testInstanceScan').get(1).sendKeys('Vkumar');
i faced error
Failed: Invalid locator Stack: TypeError: Invalid locator
Tried with element.all(by.css('#testInstanceScan')).get(0).sendKeys('Vkumar');
but its not the desired place for this value,.
values is entered in previous fields with this 0th intdex.
If you need a single element, that has a unique ID, you don't need to use element.all() but element().
Your code should be
element(by.css('#testInstanceScan')).sendKeys('Vkumar');
Or even shorter:
$('#testInstanceScan').sendKeys('Vkumar');
Check also the API on Protractor Homepage
To prove, that there is only one element you can try this:
element.all(by.css('#testInstanceScan')).count().then(function(numberOfElems){
console.log('For this ID I found '+numberOfElems+' elements.');
})
When i print the identifiers of the dialog following is the output
Qt5QWindowIcon - 'b'widget_fenetre_openglWindow'' (L395, T202, R1046,B602)
'b'Qt5QWindowIcon20''
'b'widget_fenetre_openglWindow''
'b'widget_fenetre_openglWindowQt5QWindowIcon''
Qt5QWindowGLOwnDCIcon - 'b''' (L400, T202, R1040, B602)
'b'''
'b'Qt5QWindowGLOwnDCIcon''
there are other identifiers above as well, i need to know what
Qt5QWindowGLOwnDCIcon - 'b''' (L400, T202, R1040, B602)
means, how can i access that element from pywinauto,
or is it some unaccessible element not relevant to ui?
I'm using Watir-5.0.0, selenium-webdriver-2.40 and testing on IE-8. When I execute the following code:
puts "#browser.tables.length=#{#browser.tables.length}"
#browser.tables.each { |t| puts t.to_s }
t=#browser.table(:class => "jrPage")
puts "jrPage=#{t}"
t.rows.each do |row|
# do something
end
I get the following results:
#browser.tables.length=5
#<Watir::Table:0x3921cc0>
#<Watir::Table:0x3921c48>
#<Watir::Table:0x3921c00>
#<Watir::Table:0x3921bd0>
#<Watir::Table:0x3921b88>
jrPage=#<Watir::Table:0x39219d8>
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::StaleElementReferenceError: Element is no longer valid
Any thoughts on why is table I explicitly locate, Watir::Table:0x39219d8, is not in the #browser.tables.each collection?
I can understand why I get the StaleElementReferenceError (table not found) but not why the table I explicit locate isn't in the tables list.
I can find this table in the HTML.
The code is calling to_s for the table object. Watir-webdriver does not specifically define this method for elements. Therefore, it calls Ruby's default Object#to_s method:
Returns a string representing obj. The default to_s prints the
object’s class and an encoding of the object id. As a special case,
the top-level object that is the initial execution context of Ruby
programs returns “main.”
As you can see, this is what Watir is doing - Watir::Table is the object's class and 0x39219d8 is an encoding of the object id.
When iterating through the tables or getting a table, you are retrieving the table from scratch. In other words, a new table object is created for each of these commands. Even if you run the collection again, you will see that you get 4 different table object ids each time.
Note that while the table objects you are seeing are unique, the jsPage is referring to one of the elements in the collection. You can use the == method to check if two objects are referencing the same html element.
For example, you can see this with:
# Get the specific jrPage
jrPage = browser.table(:class => "jrPage")
# Check which element in the collection is the jrPage
browser.tables.each { |t| puts t == jrPage }
#=> false
#=> false
#=> true
#=> false
#=> false
The above tells you that the jrPage is the 3rd table on the page.
