WebDriver UDF - Help & Support (III)

[sylremo]

After many hours trying to setup a private proxy, i've found a decent workaround and implemented it in AutoIt, ideas based on

@Danp2 could you take a look on this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/55582859/5314940

I'm not so good in this kind of things.

1. Just make an unpacked extension folder contains manifest.json and background.js, file templates are provided in the answer of the above stackoverflow question. By doing this you will expose your private proxy to those who access to these files.
2. Add an extra chrome switch --load-extension and its value will be the path to the unpacked extension folder (both using _WD_Option or set $sCapabilities will do)

_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose --log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log" --load-extension=path\\to\\unpacked\\folder')

Or

{
    "capabilities": {
        "alwaysMatch": {
            "goog:chromeOptions": {
                "args": [
                    "--load-extension=path\\to\\unpacked\\folder"
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

Notice that the manifest.json is using some functions from v2 and will soon be deprecated in Jan 2023. I've attempted to migrate it to v3 but failed due to this known chromium bug.

Sorry for my late

Fix is on the way, I just pushed PR on github.
 

@carparso from where you get this following examples?
I suppose that maybe from wiki or some of my examples - I want to check and change them.

Hi, im currently in a really awkward situation. I slightly modified WinHttp.au3 to resolve personal issues,  my script works fine with modified version but the compiled version doesn't (both are in the same working dir). Then i tried to use Au3Stripper to see whats going on inside the stripped script and i realized that all WinHttp functions are being magically reverted to the initial state, i even take it seriously by empty the whole function but it still behaves the same way. Really weird and im so confused rightnow. I ensured that all the #include were set to the correct path.

In the case below, au3 version will immediately throw error to indicate that _WinHttpCrackUrl is not doing its job but the compiled version will work like nothing happened.

@sylremoI see that you are using vscode. Have you checked to see if you can replicate the issue using Scite?

[sylremo]

@Danp2
Unfortunately, using SciTe make no differences, all files are located in AutoIt Include folder, except for my main script changeproxy.au3.

And here is the original script compared to the stripped version.

@sylremoI suspect that you have a "stray" copy of the UDF that is being used instead of your intended version. First thing I would do is check your settings in the SciTEUSer.Properties file. What is the entry for "openpath.$(au3)"? Check any directories listed here for errant copies of the UDF.

@danp2, i tried to completely uninstall and remove autoit program files folder, restart my pc, reinstall but nothing helps.

Edit: welp, after many attempts, i finally managed to fix this issue by renaming WinHttp.au3 ...

[Danp2]

@sylremoI would recommend that you start a new thread since this isn't a Webdriver UDF issue.

[sylremo]

@Danp2, yes i shouldn't be discuss this problem here but still i did... I thought it would be a good idea to post here and get quick responses since this topic might be the most active place on the entire autoit forum. I'll try my best to avoid degression. Again, i appreciated your valuable time.

@sylremoI have no issues with you posting here. I felt you might get a wider audience if you started your own thread. 🙂

Hi, thanks for the open source, it helped me a lot. But now I encounter a problem. When using _WD_FindElement to locate a button in the page, if the button can only be seen after dragging through the scroll bar, then clicking the button will return a failure message. Is there any solution?

[Danp2]

@liamashesUnder normal circumstances, the webdriver (chromedriver in this case) should handle any needed scrolling automatically.

From the screen shot, it appears that you are calling _WD_ElementAction with the "value" command. Why would you do that on a button?

[SOLVE-SMART]

Hi @liamashes,

like @Danp2 already mentioned, the scroll action to your element should be done automatically. But this sometimes depends on the page and DOM structure.
Dealing with Angular/React with "shadow DOM" behaves differently then other (older web frameworks) without "shadow DOM" for example.

That's why Selenium as a example provides a method .MoveToElement to do something like a hover over the element which triggers the scroll action.
Maybe you find a similar approach for your requirement or you just focus the browser window by AutoIt (WinActivate()) and Send('{PGUP}') or Send('{PGDN}') to bring your element into the viewport.

In case this wouldn't help, please provide a DOM snippet and more details/screenshots etc., thanks.

Best regards
Sven

@SOLVE-SMART_WD_ElementActionEx provides the ability to hover over an element. 😉

[liamashes]

@Danp2Both buttons and input boxes have this problem. Here is the behavior of simulating user login, you need to enter the user name and password. This log is the result of trying to get the input box and enter the user name. The browser does not scroll the page, but prompts that the interaction cannot be performed.
The scenario mentioned above can be avoided by maximizing the window, but for buttons and input boxes that need to be scrolled to be seen in the page, the scrolling operation seems to be unavoidable.Is this problem related to the framework used for page development?

[liamashes]

@SOLVE-SMART@Danp2Thanks for your replies, I only saw this after reading the previous reply.
@SOLVE-SMARTAs you said, the page here is developed using Angular, a very old framework. This is a commercial internal website, so it is not convenient to take screenshots.

I don't know much about automated testing. The solution I can think of is to calculate the step size and scale according to the width of the scroll bar and the total width of the window. According to the scale, combine the position of the target element in the window to calculate the coordinates, and then drag the scroll bar to the corresponding position. coordinates, but this scheme is cumbersome.
Will there be a solution to this problem in the future?

Also, thanks for the implementation of webdriver you guys provided, it helped me a lot😁

Hi guys! currently i want to add proxy to my specified browser however it is not working. can you show me the error in my syntax.
here is my code:   

    $exe='C:\Users\Administrator\Chrome\browser\chrome.exe'
    $exe=StringReplace($exe,'\','\\')
    $profile=@ScriptDir&'\Chrome\Data\profile\'
    $profile=StringReplace($profile,'\','\\')
$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true},    "binary":"'&$exe&'"    ,"args":["--user-data-dir='&$profile&'", "--profile-directory=Default"],"proxy":{"proxyType":"manual","httpProxy":"119.98.114.154:6003","autodetect": "false"}}}'

Use code tags when you post code. Post console error messages.

Take a look few post back, we was discuss the same things, and there are examples.

I lost a lot of time and don't know how to set the proxy parameter properly. hope you can fix it
