Webdriver UDF(based On External Exe)

[n3wbie]

Please Spare me for errors

M totally Raw At programming stuffs So please forgive me

Coming to udf 

Why was it required: Udf Already Available had to start with an extension and ws a bit tricky to be used also it was a bit obsolute

What Are Functionalities of new udf: not much but a better way of interacting and userfriendliness, using external exe which can workaround with many other browsers

Requirements: Chromedriver.exe(available freely)(Chrome)(Please Use version 2.28 as further versions/Previous versions sometime create problems)

                             Geckodriver.exe(available freely)(Mozilla FF)There are some problems with this version m working to resolve same and make udf work with both browsers

                             JSON UDF 

                             Browserudf.au3

Example Script For facebook Login Quite Simple to use

#Include <browserudf.au3>
$id=Browser_Setings(9515,"D:\Desktop\Vinfur\chromedriver.exe")
$session=Browser_create_session()
Browser_openurl($session,"https://www.facebook.com/")
$element=Browser_getelement($session,"name","email")
browser_setelement($session,$element,"Username type here")
$element=Browser_getelement($session,"id","pass")
browser_setelement($session,$element,"Password")
$element=Browser_getelement($session,"id","u_0_r")
browser_actions_click($session,$element)
Browser_Setings_close($id)

 

I Know There are thousands of bugs so please go on correcting me so that i will improve and also udf

And Also Sorry that i didnt make any error checking mechanism for any function

but as i couldnt get all errors listed/documented anywhere so i will update it as we go ahead

and one more thanks to

Yes sure,

Even there are some more functions to be added and some bugs fixes

I ll update the same with examples

Thanks for suggesting

[junkew]

Good start. Maybe mix with edge webdriver examples. See

Mostly my functions will work with edge also

I do t have edgeso some one could check after i post example

As you use webdriver concept maybe suggestion to rename to webdriver.au3 as there are also drivers for non browsers

Should i change function names even?

Please suggest

[junkew]

I would suggest yes, change the function names.

• But it depends on your goal.
• Full implementation of https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver/
  as is done for other languages then I would suggest to follow the Java webdriver implementation regarding function names.
  which basically is described here https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/WebDriver.html
• Then follow 

  getPageSource() Get the source of the last loaded page.

  instead of getSource as you did in your implementation
• Getting dot syntax like $driver.getPageSource can be achieved with
  a. AutoItObject library
  b. and maybe in future with CLR.AU3 (we are not far enough to have that properly working)

I First Had Plan to implement Full But Than Dropped as there are so many versions of drivers and response are a bit different to sort for result

like chrome driver gives direct session in main json obj while geckodriver gives in as value->session

Making it complaint to all was not possible so even i dropped idea of using full json and wherever required i switched to using stringregex()

Also webdriver implementation is getting updated and many a times functions are getting changed 

like session/sessionid/execute was dropped and instead /execute/sync was formed 

now some drivers are having this implementation while some use old

also some capabilities arent well implemented in some drivers like wise other may work flawless

So basically my main aim was to provide a basic start to community using webdriver concept.Also Keeping in Mind that maximum may get benefit(in terms of drivers)

Currently m working it to keep it in line for basic operations (ie navigation and get source)

Once I Solve and inline with both webdriver along with error checking mechanism we will take up more .

i will take advise and change its name to webdriver and all functions here after will be named as webdriver_function names

May b in future someone can take them further if not me.

Updated it to work with mozilla ff and chrome and most probably with all other drivers

Example Script Updated in first post would like you to test same. Extremely sorry for delay

please update me for other issue

Do u need link from img src?

U can use source to get full source code and use regex and other string manupulation to get that src

 

If you need more help please post more info like webpage and other info

yes i need it. I'd like to use xpath to get link but your udf doesn't support it yet. I can get ElementId of img tag but i cant retrieve link from img src attribute for now.

Yes my udf doesnt support src

U can currently do it with only source

 

I have updated this in my to do list

Also there are some script breaking changes in next version of udf so please beware

quick use for src

Func browser_get_attribute($session, $elementid,$attribute)
    $source = _BrowserGET($baseurl & "/session/" & $session & "/element/" & $elementid & "/attribute/"&$attribute)
    $json = _JSONDecode($source)
    $result = _JSONGet($json, "value")
    Return $result
EndFunc   ;==>browser_get_Elementvalue

Add this in ur script and try once if it works, i havnt tested it yet

It always returns "Default" string

use above code and post return value here

[woodv]

$chrome=Browser_Setings(9515,@ScriptDir & "\chromedriver.exe")
$session=Browser_create_session()
Browser_openurl($session,"https://www.google.com")
$element=Browser_getelement($session,"xpath","//*[@id='hplogo']")
$imgsrc=browser_get_attribute($session,$element,"scr")
MsgBox(0,"",$imgsrc)
Browser_Setings_close($chrome)

My test code and result
