Tracks don't show in Spotify-Playlist-View - spotify

I'm using the default playlist object from the JS-Spotify library and constructing a playlist.
Then I use this Code:
var playlistList = new views.List(pl);
playlistList.node.classList.add('sp-light');
$(".favAlbums").append(playlistList.node);
But for the first time when I load the page with this view the tracks don't show in the playlist DIV. The playlist DIV itself does. What could cause that? (I'm using exactly the same code at a different place where it works just perfectly)
Update:/
It seems to be a rendering issue because when I resize the Spotify application the track entries appear. But before resizing the DIV is empty in the inspector.

How to find xpath of js rendered element for puppeteer

Im trying to interact with a js rendered page. Essentially this is a free widget from tradingview; however, the color of the lines is not something I can change. (yes there is an override, however, it only affects 1 line) I need to be able to change 2 lines.
Trading View Advanced Chart Widget Constructor
Can anyone tell me if this is possible with a puppeteer? How can I get XPath for an element which is generated by JS? View source and developer tools do not provide any xpaths to the elements.

Is there a way to scroll up a particular div element in a webpage using selenium with PYTHON?

I could scroll down or up a whole web page but I am having trouble in scrolling a particular div element within the webpage
The thing is when I open a webpage like whatsapp web and within a particular chat containing the messages(which is particular div element),I want to scrape all the messages from the beginning of the chat ,but I could only scrape the messages which is in the view (the last few messages),So I want to scroll that particular div element to the top of the chat to scrape all the messages.
Can someone help me with this thing in PYTHON.
Thank you.
Yes, there are multiple ways using which you could scroll to particular element
By using the move_to_element()
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("_element_")
action = ActionChains(driver)
action.move_to_element(element).perform()
By scrollIntoView()
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("_element_")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)
For reference check here
It is possible.
Let's say the element you need to scroll inside is div_el, it's locator is xpath_locator the code will be like this:
div_locator = "xpath_locator"
div_el = driver.find_element_by_xpath(div_locator)
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollTop = arguments[0].scrollHeight", div_el)

How do I scroll down to the end of web page using webdriver js and Node js

driver.executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);"))
I have tried the above code but it returns window is not defined.
Data keeps on loading as I scroll down the page until the search data ends.
Try having a very large number instead of the scrollHeight attribute.
Something like this
browser.executeScript('window.scrollTo(0,10000);');

masonry layout problems after removing then appending items

I'm playing around with masonry.js for a gallery/album view.
I've succesfully used the script to display a thumbnail of albums. When the user clicks the thumbnail I want the album thumbnails to be removed and then replaced with the thumbnails of the images within the album.
The album images are passed to the script via ajax and are in html format
I can remove the items using this code $container is a jquery object of the masonry container:
var obj = $('.item');
$container.masonry('remove',obj);
$container.masonry('reloadItems');
$container.masonry('layout');
I then append the new thumbnails using this script - data is the html of the new elements.
var $newItems = $(data);
$container.append($newItems).masonry('appended', $newItems);
$container.masonry('reloadItems');
$container.masonry('layout');
This loads the new thumbnail elements and organises the layout. However because of the append it places them at the bottom of where the removed thumbnails were.
If I use prepend the images are placed at the top of the element as expected but I'm then left with loads of white space where the removed items were.
I've also tried html() to insert the new items - a layout is applied but the height of the container becomes inconsistent and some items overlap the bottom of the container.
So:
How can I remove items and clean up the layout
How can I add new items and clean up the layout
Thanks
Having the same issue, and saw a related issue here https://github.com/desandro/masonry/issues/381:
$container.masonry('remove',obj);
$container.masonry();
This seemed to work a little bit better for me.
The issue is solved in the new version. Following code snippet worked for me (I'm using Masonry version 4.1.1).
var $newItems = $(data);
var $obj = $('.item');
$grid.masonry( 'remove', $obj);
$grid.append($newItems);
$grid.masonry( 'appended', $newItems ).masonry('layout');
Even here, calling layout method is mandatory. Not calling layout method will append new items in the bottom of the page.

Spotify App API: tab pages, playlist UI refresh

I am building a Spotify App with four tab pages. The content of all tabs are loaded on initial load of the app. Each tab contain one or more playlists that are being populated with data from 3rd party web apis that are resolved into spotify tracks.
The selected tab works fine. the playlist show up a expected. The problem is with tabs that are initially hidden but later selected. Here the playlist looks like this when selected:
not fully rendered playlist
Looking in the Inspector I can see that the content has not yet rendered:
<div class="sp-list sp-light" tabindex="0">
<div style="height: 100px; ">
</div>
</div>
When I do a resize of the Spotify desktop app, the playlist is finally rendered:
rendered playlist after resize
To populate the playlist I use the 'standard' spotify models and views:
var playlist = new views.List(tempPlaylist);
//where tempPlaylist is a new models.Playlist();
//that has been populated with tempPlaylist.add(search.tracks[0].uri);
playerPlaylistDiv.append(playlist.node);
I am only seing this issue when using tabs. When displaying all content on one long page all playlists are fully rendered. I wonder if it has to do with timing: that I am hiding content that has not yet fully rendered? Any thoughts much appreciated.
I handle tab changes this way:
/* Handle URI arguments */
models.application.observe(models.EVENT.ARGUMENTSCHANGED, tabs);
/* Handle tab changes */
function tabs() {
var args = models.application.arguments;
// Hide all sections
$('section').hide();
// Show current section
$("#" + args[0]).show();
}
FYI I am using the Spotify preview 0.8.10.3.
I am not sure this is the same thing, but I ran into similar issues trying to create tracklistings from playlist-uris on the fly; also couldn't track it down any closer (the containing DOM was certainly rendered and ready); and it only happened on certain playlists, never e.g. on albums.
I was able to circumentvent this problem by "cloning" playlist - obviously there's a "performance" hit ...
// assuming uri is the playlist's URI
models.Playlist.fromURI( uri, function(originalPlaylist) {
var tempPlaylist = new model.Playlist();
$.each(originalPlaylist.tracks, function(t) { tempPlaylist.add(t); });
var tracklist = new views.List(tempPlaylist);
// etc...
}
I am not sure what's on here, but maybe that helps you along :)
PS. Also - make sure you have a doctype-declaration in index.html (), the spotify client does some weird things if you don't.
The solution I've found is this:
I arrowed it down to being an issue with showing/hiding the content since showing the full content without tabs never causes issues. So instead of using .show()/.hide() I now hide and show the content by setting the height of the sections to 100%/0:
// Hide all other sections
$("section#" + args).siblings().height('0');
// Show current section
$("section#" + args).height('100%');
Not sure why this works, but it does (for me at least).
I had the same problem (see Spotify List objects created from localStorage data come up blank) and fixed it by doing the hide()/show() of divs before any processing. Previously I was constructing the playlist and then show()ing the div after which led to a blank list.
I think I've actually managed to solve this and I think it's bulletproof.
Basically I was trying to solve this by trying to convince the API that it needed to redraw the playlist by hiding things/scrolling things/moving things which worked occasionally but never consistently. It never occurred to me to change the playlist itself. Or at least make the API think the playlist has changed.
You can do so by firing an event on the Playlist object.
var models = sp.require('$api/models');
...
// playlist is your Playlist object. Usually retrieved from models.Playlist.fromURI
playlist.notify(models.EVENT.CHANGE, playlist);
These are just standard Spotify functions and the list updates because it thinks something has changed in the playlist. Hope this helps someone!
