WebDriver UDF - Help & Support (III)

[Danp2]

@mLipokIDK. You could try with a different browser. Other thought would be to add some debugging code that performs the click inside a loop until the secondary element is visible.

WIP, will share results.

Where can I find a working example of automating Chrome browser with autoit? I tried various examples found on this forum but I can't get it to work...

I tested both "chrome_example.auto3" and "chrome_example_2.auto3" from this thread. Of course I made sure to follow the instructions and install the pre-requisites.
From this thread: 

But when I launch the au3 script, it opens the page in the browser then it just hangs there. It doesn't fill any form element or click any link.

I'm afraid I'll get an answer saying "not working" is too vague, but I can't find any information as to why it's not working. It's not writing anything to the console and there is no error message. 

I noticed the examples I used are from 2013 so maybe it's outdated. Is there a more recent version of those 2 examples files ?
I also tested with the most recent example from this page: https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/WebDriver
I followed the instructions but as soon as I open wd_demo.au3 and click the button to run DemoNavigation in Chrome, it doesn't work. The script opens the browser then instantly closes it.

 

I also tried using Edge Driver instead, but the browser window instantly closes again

 

However, if I test with gecko driver (Firefox) then the demo works correctly.

Why isn't it working for Chrome and Edge?

Hard to say without additional details. My guess would be that it can't find the Chrome / Edge executable. To troubleshoot further, please post the results from the Scite output panel after you run wd_demo.

[ungovernable]

I didn't find the solution so I ended up using just the gecko driver. However i'm facing another problem now. I'm not able to click the button, I always get this error:

Have you tried it without the modified timeouts? Something like --

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"browserName": "firefox", "acceptInsecureCerts":true}}}'

 

[ungovernable]

Yes I tried without the timeouts, I added it because I googled the error and it was suggested in another thread to add timeouts to $sDesiredCapabilities

Just reverted it back to the code you posted and I got the same error

Remove this (or move it to the end)  if you want the rest of the script to work 😏

Is there a way to save cookies with WebDriver so I don't have to re-login every time I restart my script?

[mLipok]

@Danp2

Big thanks for adding this feature that we talked about earlier - I mean   __WD_Sleep().
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to do it myself.

I will do my tests and post my DEMO script in next few days.

btw.
In change log for v0.4.1.1
Please  consider to add remark about: $_WD_ERROR_UserAbort
 

[ungovernable]

I have another question... What's wrong with my XPath?

$spod_image_size_element = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//g[@class='configuration-info']/text")
        $spod_image_size = _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $spod_image_size_element, 'property', 'value')

here's the element in dev console:

 

the <text> element shows up dynamically, it appears only when I hold the mouse button over the image to resize it. So I try to catch it in a loop:

while 1
        sleep(5000)
        $spod_image_size_element = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//g[@class='configuration-info']")
        $spod_image_size = _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $spod_image_size_element, 'property', 'value')
            msgbox(0,"Element text = " & $spod_image_size, "")
WEnd

 

I also tried to get the parent element instead (g.configuration-info) but still can't be found:

this doesn't work either:

//g[contains(@class, 'configuration-info')]

 

[Danp2]

@mLipokYou're welcome.

Unless you instruct otherwise, a new temporary user profile is used each time you launch the browser with webdriver. I haven't needed to save / restore cookies, so I don't really have advice in this area other than to point you to the _WD_Cookies function.

Have you checked to see if the page uses frames?
