Let us create a CHANGELOG.md file for the GitHub project and refer to it for the future notifications/updates.

We already have REVISIONS.MD, which is where this information is maintained. I simply copy it here for the convenience of others.

Let us use Semantic Versioning to fit better in common versioning expectations.

I would suggest opening a GH issue on this one.

Oh, that's a little bit embarrassing now 🤭 , sorry for that.
Nevertheless I suggest the CHANGELOG.md instead of REVISION.MD => I will explain why in the GH issue 😉 .

Alright, will do so.

Which capability is needed to disable asking for saving file in Firefox/Gecko ?

As so far I find this:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32486010/how-to-save-file-automatically-after-a-new-window-opens-in-selenium?rq=1

But I would like to see this as JSON to be able to add this to wd_capabilities.au3

 

[Danp2]

@mLipok Have you tried something like this?

Local $sPref = 'browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk'
Local $sValue = 'text/plain,text/csv,application/csv,application/vnd.ms-excel,text/comma-separat‌ed-values,application/excel,application/octet-stream'
_WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', $sPref, $sValue)

 

[mLipok]

Not yet but I found few minutes ago in one of my old examples:

_WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'download.default_directory', @ScriptDir)
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'dom.ipc.processCount', 8)
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'javascript.options.showInConsole', False)
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'browser.toolbars.bookmarks.visibility', 'always') ; check    about:config
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'app.update.download.attempts', 0) ; check    about:config
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'browser.safebrowsing.downloads.enabled', False) ; check    about:config
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'browser.safebrowsing.downloads.enabled', False) ; check    about:config
        ; https://tarunlalwani.com/post/change-profile-settings-at-runtime-firefox-selenium/
        # 0 means to download to the desktop, 1 means to download to the default "Downloads" directory, 2 means to use the directory
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'browser.download.folderList', 2)
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting', False)
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'browser.download.dir', $_EXAMPLE_DOWNLOAD_DIR)
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk', 'application/x-gzip')
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk', 'application/zip')

Need to test it if it works.

but your's proposal to test it with multiple MIME

Local $sValue = 'text/plain,text/csv,application/csv,application/vnd.ms-excel,text/comma-separat‌ed-values,application/excel,application/octet-stream'

is very interesting.

Here is my interesting discovery that I had today:

https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/the-30-css-selectors-you-must-memorize--net-16048

 

[OsMiyaki]

Hello, I'm looking for a wait to verify if a value has been filled correctly after using the _WD_ElementAction.

But i don't the value that has been filled, am i using the code correctly?

$sButton = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $btn)
    _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sButton, 'value', $value)
If _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sButton,'value') != $value Then
    _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sButton, 'value', $value)

Whis is my first time posting, if you need more info just tell me, tried to find the solution in the others threads but i couldn't fin it

[taylansan]

Hello, 

I have a problem while clicking on an element.

I'm trying to click on this element: 

 

This is my code: 

expandcollapse popup

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

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

_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://external.stratus.ms/purchase-order-collaboration?tab=neworamended")

_myMsg("finished navigate, starting find element")

;_WD_Attach($sSession, "Stratus")

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//button[@class='mat-focus-indicator mat-raised-button mat-button-base mat-black ng-star-inserted']")
_myMsg("finished find element, starting click")

_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, "CLICK")
_myMsg("finished click, exiting")


_WD_DeleteSession($sSession)
_WD_Shutdown()

Func _myMsg($sMsg)
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "==== TY: " & $sMsg & " ====" & @CRLF)
    MsgBox(0, "", $sMsg)
EndFunc

Func SetupChrome()
    _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"]}}}}'
    Return $sDesiredCapabilities
EndFunc

 

And here's the error code:

In my understanding, I found the element correctly. But when I want to click on it, I receive the message that value is null. I also tried to _WD_Attach again, before finding the element but that didn't help either. 

Is it me doing wrong and couldn't point the element? Or is it the page? 

 

 

One side note to mention: After I first navigate to "external.stratus.ms", I need to wait for several seconds. Because Chrome is going through Microsoft online to do some verification. I don't know if this this note is important to mention. First I wanted to click that "Export" button in the page, and then I will try to click the checkboxes shown in the screenshot.

It appears that the button is being found and clicked successfully. There is likely an underlying event that isn't being triggered. You could try switching to _WD_ElementActionEx to see if this alternate method will trigger the event.

[taylansan]

Hi @Danp2

I tried Action Ex. The result says it's success:

But I didn't download the export file as if I would manually click. 

[Danp2]

@taylansanUnfortunately I'm not sure how to guide you further without having access to the website. Have you tried checking with the browser's DevTools to examine the events attached to the button? FWIW, I find this easier to do with Firefox.

[SOLVE-SMART]

Hi @taylansan,

could it be the case that there are more then one button with exact this combinations of classes? Please provide a larger section of the DOM to review (like you did in the screenshot above), then it could be possible to improve your XPath selector which seems to be unprecise, to be honest.

Yes, you should check the events of the buttons. Sometime (at least for Selenium) it's also the case that a click event won't receive the click correctly, then you have to click by pure javascript like "return arguments[0].click()".

Best regards
Sven

Good point. I had considered that but then forgot to mention it. _WD_HighlightElement is good for testing this.

[taylansan]

Hello Again, 

I tried _WD_HighlightElement it's really useful  Here you can see, I can highlight Export and one new specific item: 

 

And here

;This is the Export button
;$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//button[@class='mat-focus-indicator mat-raised-button mat-button-base mat-black ng-star-inserted']")
;This is the specific item in the screenshot
;$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//a[normalize-space()='4300017905']")
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, "CLICK")

The output for clicking the specific item is similar to the output that I had in the previous posts:

__WD_Post: URL=HTTP://127.0.0.1:9515/session/6510768edc91f60dfccc40b33aefb868/element/a3dabaf0-e689-45a5-bafb-cc2c8fc33406/click; $sData={"id":"a3dabaf0-e689-45a5-bafb-cc2c8fc33406"}
__WD_Post: StatusCode=200; ResponseText={"value":null}...
_WD_ElementAction: {"value":null}...

 

I also attached the page (I just Save As), but it seems that SelectorsHub can't work on the offline pages.

(I don't know if sharing Zip file is allowed. If it's not allowed, sorry in advance, I couldn't think another way.)

Stratus SaveAs.zip

 

Unfortunately, even if I can highlight the Export or other element, the Click on that element didn't trigger the download page or didn't open the specific item. I start to believe that it's a restriction in the Webpage, or the program (Stratus) is not allowing to automate the things. 

Thanks for having a look at it.

 

[Danp2]

I suspect that the site is using a framework such as jQuery or Angular. Unfortunately we can't tell for sure without having access to the live system. You could try the following to see if it works for you --

; This is directly from your code
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//button[@class='mat-focus-indicator mat-raised-button mat-button-base mat-black ng-star-inserted']")
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, "click")

; This is an attempt to invoke jQuery to trigger a registered click event
$sScript = "jQuery(arguments[0]).trigger('click')"
_WD_ExecuteScript($sSession, $sScript,  __WD_JsonElement($sElement))

 

[czmaster]

Hello,

Is it anyway with WebDriver to get the whole HTML source like _IEBodyReadHTML (for IE).

Thank you

 

[mLipok]

_WD_GetSource($sSession)

 

[Danp2]

@czmasterYou can also use _WD_ExecuteScript to retrieve an element's innerHTML or outerHTML.

P.S. In the future, this type of question belongs in the Support Thread instead of here
