WebDriver example scripts collection

[water]

The WebDriver UDF provides a toolbox full of functions to facilitate automating Web browsers.
Still scripts can become quite complex.

In this thread users can post "real life" examples to show how specific tasks can be implemented.

Note
When posting an example please describe the purpose of the script and the WebDriver functionality used!

What this script does
Extracts the list of GDPR fines from website enforcementttracker.com and returns a 2D array holding all items.

N.B. The numbers of the following list can be found in the script as comments.

WebDriver functionality used

1. Tested with Firefox
2. Start geckodriver to automate Firefox from a different location (needs to be modified by you in the scripts source)
3. Maximize the browser window
4. Retrieve all values from the "Show n entries" dropdown and select the second to last (50 entries)
5. Sort the table by clicking on a table header
6. Scroll to the end of the page
7. Search and click a button

GDPR fines Version 1.au3

GDPR fines Version 2.au3

Edited March 3, 2020 by water
#4 has been enhanced: Now retrieves all values from the "Show n entries" dropdown and selects the second to last (50 entry). Was hardcoded before.

[mLipok]

@water In GDPR fines.au3 you are using 

_WD_ElementOptionSelect($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//select[@name='penalties_length']//option[contains(text(),'100')]")
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error)

Would you be so nice and explain in a new example, a way to retrieve (as an array), a list of option from this element:

<select name="penalties_length" aria-controls="penalties" class=""><option value="10">10</option><option value="25">25</option><option value="50">50</option><option value="100">100</option></select>

 

btw.
I finally start to work with WebDriver UDF, soon will post more questions, examples, functions, my proposals.

@mLipok Here's a simple way to do it --

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//select[@name='penalties_length']")
$sText = _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'property', 'innerText')
$aOptions = StringSplit ( $sText, @LF,  $STR_NOCOUNT)
_ArrayDisplay($aOptions)

If you would rather process each element individually, then this gets them into an array for further processing --

$aElements = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//select[@name='penalties_length']//option", Default, True)
_ArrayDisplay($aElements)

 

[water]

I have modified the example above accordingly.

Example script using the new _WD_ElementActionEx function --

expandcollapse popup

#include "wd_core.au3"
#include "wd_helper.au3"

Local $sDesiredCapabilities, $sSession
SetupGecko()
_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
_WD_Navigate($sSession, "http://demo.guru99.com/test/simple_context_menu.html")
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//button[contains(text(),'Double-Click Me To See Alert')]")

If @error = $_WD_ERROR_Success Then
    _WD_ElementActionEx($sSession, $sElement, "doubleclick")
EndIf

Sleep(2000)
_WD_Alert($sSession, 'accept')

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//span[@class='context-menu-one btn btn-neutral']")

If @error = $_WD_ERROR_Success Then
    _WD_ElementActionEx($sSession, $sElement, "rightclick")
EndIf

Func SetupChrome()
    _WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe')
    _WD_Option('Port', 9515)
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log"')
    $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args":["start-maximized","disable-infobars"]}}}}'
EndFunc   ;==>SetupChrome

Func SetupGecko()
_WD_Option('Driver', 'geckodriver.exe')
_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log trace')
_WD_Option('Port', 4444)

This 2 scripts shows how to attach to a running sessions of WebDriver.

Run this following wd_demoAttachFireFox_Main.au3

expandcollapse popup

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include "wd_capabilities.au3"
#include "wd_helper.au3"

_Example()
_WD_Shutdown()

Func _Example()
    ; initialize WD
    Local $sSession = _MY__WD_SetupFireFox(False)
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended)

    ; navigate to some website
    _WD_Navigate($sSession, "http://google.com")

    MsgBox($MB_OK + $MB_TOPMOST + $MB_ICONINFORMATION, @ScriptName, "Wait before attach")
    ; run the demo in separate thread
    Run(@AutoItExe & ' "' & @ScriptDir & '\wd_demoAttachFireFox_Secondary.au3" ', @ScriptDir)
    MsgBox($MB_OK + $MB_TOPMOST + $MB_ICONINFORMATION, @ScriptName, "Wait before end")
EndFunc   ;==>_Example

Func _MY__WD_SetupFireFox($b_Headless)
    _WD_UpdateDriver("firefox", @ScriptDir, Default, Default)

    _WD_Option('Driver', 'geckodriver.exe')
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log trace --marionette-port 2828')
    _WD_Option('Port', 4444)
    _WD_Option('DefaultTimeout', 1000)

    _WD_Startup()
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, '')

    _WD_CapabilitiesStartup()
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('alwaysMatch')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('acceptInsecureCerts', True)
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('firstMatch', 'firefox')

    If $b_Headless Then _
            _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('args', '--headless')

    _WD_CapabilitiesDump(@ScriptLineNumber & ':WebDriver: Capabilities')
    Local $s_Capabilities = _WD_CapabilitiesGet()

    Local $WD_SESSION = _WD_CreateSession($s_Capabilities)
    Return SetError(@error, @extended, $WD_SESSION)
EndFunc   ;==>_MY__WD_SetupFireFox

and this following wd_demoAttachFireFox_Secondary.au3  will be run automatically

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include "wd_helper.au3"

_Example()

Func _Example()
    _WD_Option('Driver', 'geckodriver.exe')
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log trace --connect-existing  --marionette-port 2828')
    _WD_Option('Port', 4444)
    _WD_Startup()
    Local $sSession = _WD_CreateSession()

    _WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://www.autoitscript.com/forum")
    MsgBox($MB_OK + $MB_TOPMOST + $MB_ICONINFORMATION, @ScriptName, "After attaching")
    _WD_Shutdown()
EndFunc   ;==>_Example

 

How this works?
Firstly wd_demoAttachFireFox_Main.au3 runs first WebDriver instance (will runs first instance of geckodriver.exe  to automate new instance of firefox)
After that wd_demoAttachFireFox_Main.au3 runs  wd_demoAttachFireFox_Secondary.au3 (runs second WebDriver instance, which will runs second instance of geckodriver.exe  to attach to an existing/already runing firefox instance ).

 

EDIT:

If you find this works well, I will edit AutoIt WebDriver Wiki page.

@mLipok first thank you for posting your Firstly open FireFox example.

Do you know of or have an example of connecting to an existing MSEdge browser session?

I'm trying to modify your example of connecting to FireFox to work with Edge.

I am realizing just how little I know.

Thank you

I'm having a terrible time getting started with Web Driver.  I've tried both of the GDPR examples and get errors including several "undefined function" errors.  Errors listed below.  Am I missing some includes?  I'm baffled.

Hi @PaulS,

I would recommend that you read the Getting Started section of the ReadMe document, which shows the additional UDFs (some required; some optional) that need to be installed.

Edit: Similar info can be found in the wiki.

HTH,

Dan

Thanks Dan.  I had already followed the installation instructions, but went back and confirmed that I have all of the prerequisites in place.  I'm now trying wd_demo.au3, and running in to undeclared variable errors in wd_capabilities.au3.  For example:  warning: $Json_UNQUOTED_STRING: possibly used before declaration

I will have a look what goes wrong with the GDPR example after my vacation.

$Json_UNQUOTED_STRING:

This const is defined in json.au3, so there is something incorrect with your setup. I would start by checking to see if maybe there is another copy of json.au3 somewhere that is interfering. FWIW, this is the header from my copy of json.au3 --
