Hi @Danp2 I have the very first problem ever. I can't run wd_demo. 

My autoit version: 3.3.14.5 & SciTE version: Version 4.1.2

I'm using release 0.5.1.0 from Github. I also have WinHttp.au3 and Json.au3 in the folder too: 

 

I only change the Browser option as Edge or Chrome. After running the wd_demo, I have the below output:

1. I didn't modify anything in the code nor in the demo. I "think" my browsers are up to date too. What could I be missing? 

2. I tried to open the help file (chm), but the content is empty. I only see the functions on the left, but there's no description on the right. 

Thanks in advance

In the output you posted, it's looking for the actual webdriver (msedgedriver.exe). Have you installed that in your working directory?

You'll need to unblock the file. Details copied from here --

Please try this step and let us know if it works:

1.     Right click on the .CHM you want to open and click on Properties.

2.     Under the General tab, check the option called Unblock.

3.     Click on Apply and OK.

 

[taylansan]

It seems that it worked now. Thank you. 

I'll see more if I have some more newb questions.

[Danp2]

FYI, next version of wd_demo will include support for automatically installing / updating the webdriver via _WD_UpdateDriver. Thanks goes to @mLipokfor adding these improvements.

Hello @Danp2

I wanted to click the "Subscriptions" in the Youtube page. As a first step, I inspected the page and found the details: 

 

Screenshot cannot show properly, this is the details of the element: 

<a id="endpoint" tabindex="-1" class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer" title="Subscriptions" href="/feed/subscriptions">
  <yt-icon id="icon" class="guide-icon style-scope ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" focusable="false" class="style-scope yt-icon" style="pointer-events: none; display: block; width: 100%; height: 100%;"><g class="style-scope yt-icon"><path d="M10,18v-6l5,3L10,18z M17,3H7v1h10V3z M20,6H4v1h16V6z M22,9H2v12h20V9z M3,10h18v10H3V10z" class="style-scope yt-icon"></path></g></svg><!--css-build:shady--></yt-icon>
  <span class="title style-scope ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer">Subscriptions</span>
  <tp-yt-paper-tooltip animation-delay="0" offset="4" position="right" class="style-scope ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer" role="tooltip" tabindex="-1" hidden="" style="--paper-tooltip-delay-in:0ms;"><!--css-build:shady--><div id="tooltip" class="style-scope tp-yt-paper-tooltip hidden">
  
    Subscriptions
  
</div>
</tp-yt-paper-tooltip>
  <yt-interaction class="style-scope ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer"><!--css-build:shady--><div class="stroke style-scope yt-interaction"></div><div class="fill style-scope yt-interaction"></div></yt-interaction>
</a>

 

Without knowing too much, I check that:

• It starts with "a"
• It has class named as "yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer"
• It has title as "Subscriptions" 

 

So, I created my code, filling all these informations: 

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


$sDesiredCapabilities = SetupChrome()
_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)


_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://www.youtube.com")

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//a[class='yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer' and title='Subscriptions']")
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'click')


MsgBox(0,"","")
_WD_DeleteSession($sSession)
_WD_Shutdown()


Func SetupChrome()
    _WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe')
    _WD_Option('Port', 9515)
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose --log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log"')

;~  Local $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"]}}}}'
    _WD_CapabilitiesStartup()
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('alwaysMatch', 'chrome')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('w3c', True)
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('excludeSwitches', 'enable-automation')
    _WD_CapabilitiesDump(@ScriptLineNumber) ; dump current Capabilities setting to console - only for testing in this demo
    Local $sDesiredCapabilities = _WD_CapabilitiesGet()
    Return $sDesiredCapabilities
EndFunc   ;==>SetupChrome

 

When I look at my $sElement, it seemed like it's too big, and I'm not sure if the browser can find the element I wrote in the path. Yet it didn't:

In the output, I found this: _WD_FindElement ==> No match: HTTP status = 404

Now I know, I couldn't address the correct thing correctly in the find element. But I don't know how to address this. 

If I just type the address, yeah it will work. But I wanted to manipulate a mouse click on that item. How can I do that?

 

[Danp2]

SelectorsHub give a relative xpath of "//ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer[@aria-label='Subscriptions']//a[@id='endpoint']", so I would try using that to see if it works.

[taylansan]

I didn't know SelectorsHub, this really helps now. After installing it, something came to my eye that the driver (chromedriver) starts a completely new Chrome without taking any extensions or bookmarks. 

 

This questions is not related to the code, it's somehow related to the driver. If you don't reply, it's fine too. 

 

This is just double-clicking Chrome, I can see my bookmarks and extensions: 

 

But when I run Chrome using chromedriver, it acts like a completely new and untouched browser; no bookmarks and no extensions from the original: 

 

After installing SelectorsHub in Chrome launched by chromedriver and closing it, then re-launching another chromedriver: I can't see SelectorsHub anymore either.

How can I force chromedriver to run Chrome with the existing settings (with the bookmarks + extensions)? 

[Danp2]

@taylansanThis is expected behavior. Each new webdriver session will start with a completely new profile unless you instruct otherwise. There are prior discussions on the forum dealing with this, and I also think there's some info in the wiki.

[SOLVE-SMART]

HI @taylansan,

I think @Danp2 is referring to wiki > WebDriver > FAQ #3.
In case you do have more questions about XPath selectors/locators (when SelectorsHub shouldn't be enough or precise enough), I offer my help. Because I deal with it almost every day at work 😉 .

Best regards
Sven

Today I found an interesting demo page:

https://stqatools.com/demo/index.php

It can be handy for developing examples, practice, and solving problems.

 

[SOLVE-SMART]

Hi @mLipok,

that's funny 😁 , because I also do have this page https://demoqa.com/ in my favorites to share some demos to team members at work for educational purposes of how to automated different web elements. I will add your suggested page too, thanks.

I guess you think of using this page for the wd_demo.au3 examples? Absolutely. When I will have more time, I will come up with an pull request regarding this 😀 .

that's funny 😁 , because I also do have this page https://demoqa.com/ i

I actually used that site earlier today -- https://github.com/Danp2/WebDriver/issues/151#issuecomment-1021305136

So the main question is why such usage:

_WD_PrintToPdf($sSession, '{"pageWidth": 29.70, "pageHeight": 42.00}')

does not change the print parameters and thus the PDF file has incorrect page size.

Any body know how to fix this ?

 

I check deeply https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver/#print-page
And I found solution.

Here is full full set of possible options as a JSON string:

{
    "page":{
            "width": 29.70
            ,"height": 42.00
        }
    ,"margin":{
            "top": 2
            ,"bottom": 2
            ,"left": 2
            ,"right": 2
        }
    ,"scale": 0.5
    ,"orientation":"landscape"
    ,"shrinkToFit": true
    ,"background": true
    ,"pageRanges": [1, "1-1"]
}

btw.
Just now I'm working on examples for wd_demo.au3 and in next step an FAQ in Wiki.

Hi, I'm trying to use Webdriver with the current user profile. I tried these: 

expandcollapse popup

$sDesiredCapabilities = SetupChrome2()
_WD_Startup()
_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://www.youtube.com")

Func SetupChrome1()
    _WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe')
    _WD_Option('Port', 9515)
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose --log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log"')

    _WD_CapabilitiesStartup()
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('alwaysMatch', 'chrome')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('w3c', True)
_WD_CapabilitiesAdd('args', 'user-data-dir', 'C:\Users\' & @UserName & '\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default') ;This is Attempt1
_WD_CapabilitiesAdd('args', '--profile-directory', Default) ;This is Attempt1
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('excludeSwitches', 'enable-automation')
    _WD_CapabilitiesDump(@ScriptLineNumber) ; dump current Capabilities setting to console - only for testing in this demo
    Local $sDesiredCapabilities = _WD_CapabilitiesGet()
    Return $sDesiredCapabilities
EndFunc   ;==>SetupChrome

Func SetupChrome2()
    _WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe')
    _WD_Option('Port', 9515)
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose --log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log"')

    $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args":["--user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\' & @UserName & '\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\", "--profile-directory=Default"]}}}}' ;This is Attempt2 = It's from WIKI
    Return $sDesiredCapabilities
EndFunc   ;==>SetupChrome

Func SetupChrome3()
    _WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe')
    _WD_Option('Port', 9515)
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose --log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log"')

    $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args":["user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\' & @UserName & '\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\", "--profile-directory=Default"], "excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"], "useAutomationExtension": false }}}}' ;This is Attempt3 = I found from the previous posts
    Return $sDesiredCapabilities
EndFunc   ;==>SetupChrome

 

As you can see, I have 3 attemps: 

1. I added some parameters in _WD_CapabilitiesAdd: I can navigate to Youtube, but the profile didn't work
2. I just copied WIKI profile  wiki > WebDriver > FAQ #3: Chrome opened with my profile, but I couldn't navigate to Youtube
3. I copied Capabilities from other users in the forum: Chrome opened with my profile, but I couldn't navigate to Youtube

 

The output of 2 and 3 seemed very likely to each other. This is the output of 2, which I copied from WIKI:

It's telling me to remove user-data-dir parameter. If I remove it, I can navigate but I can't use my profile. 

What did I do wrong that in Attempt 2 that my profile is loaded, but I couldn't navigate?

Here is full full set of possible options as a JSON string:

Firefox / Gecko doesn't like numbers in "pageRanges", .. so single page should be enclosed in quotes:

{
    "page":{
            "width": 29.70
            ,"height": 42.00
        }

You can't use the user profile for a webdriver session if it is already in use by another instance of Chrome.

Hi,

i need some help, I tried to search in the Forum and after a lot of searching I couldn't find the answer.

"https://demo.guru99.com/test/newtours/register.php" i tried to find how I could select the option country menu and select Brazil.

And then a [TAB] and go to the username, but my solution is not working.

_WD_ElementOptionSelect($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//select[@name='country']")
send("BRAZIL")
send("{TAB}")

The only thing that happens is that my URL in the browser changes in BRAZIL en after that Google.com is there is results from BRAZIL ( https://www.google.com/search?q=BRAZIL)

It looks like the focus is not on my site .....

    

[Danp2]

@MarluyYour xpath needs to point to the desired Option element. Try this --

_WD_ElementOptionSelect($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//select[@name='country']//option[@value='BRAZIL']")

Hi @Danp2,

first of all, thanks for the notification 👍 . I do have two suggestions which could improve the transparency about the project and changes.

• Let us create a CHANGELOG.md file for the GitHub project and refer to it for the future notifications/updates.
• Let us use Semantic Versioning to fit better in common versioning expectations.

If you as creator, the other contributors and also the community don't mind, I would prepare a pull request which could be reviewed 😅 .
If you Dan think, to open a GitHub Issue first would be better, I also will do so.

Best regards
Sven
