WebDriver UDF - Help & Support (III)

[Nine]

Maybe use IE UDF instead ?

[Keras]

IE is about to be shutting down and in my company, every Website that can't be run on Mozilla will be run on Edge on IE mode. So i gotta find a way to manipulate Edge on IE mode and that's not possible with IE UDF unfortunatly

[Keras]

Hi again,

I think i'm getting closer !

I'm trying with IERDriverServer :

_WD_Option('Driver', @ScriptDir & '\include\' & (@Compiled ? '' : 'Exe_externe\') & 'IEDriverServer.exe')
_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log trace ')
_WD_Option('Port', 5555)
Local $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"se:ieOptions": { "ie.edgechromium":true, "ie.edgepath":"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"}}}}'

But now i get this error in the console :

Quote

_WD_CreateSession: {
    "value" :
    {
        "error" : "session not created",
        "message" : "Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer. CreateProcess() failed for edge with the following command: msedge.exe --ie-mode-force --internet-explorer-integration=iemode --user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\JOUGLE~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\IEDriver-0a0bc4ed-54ca-4b71-84bf-7d2c4ebcf5c9 --no-first-run --no-service-autorun --disable-sync --disable-features=msImplicitSignin http://localhost:5555/",
        "stacktrace" : ""
    }
}

I have no idea what to think about this error message, if anyone has an idea i would be grateful !

Where did you come up with these?

Have you read this?

From reading forums and example in Java, i knew i had to edit those 2 options in order to get EDGE run instead of IE, i just didn't know how to do it in Autoit. Then while i was trying random way to do it, i got the structure in the console :

expandcollapse popup

_WD_CreateSession: {
    "value" :Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer. CreateProcess() failed for edge with the following command 
    {
        "capabilities" : 
        {
            "acceptInsecureCerts" : false,
            "browserName" : "internet explorer",
            "browserVersion" : "11",
            "pageLoadStrategy" : "normal",
            "platformName" : "windows",
            "proxy" : {},
            "se:ieOptions" : 
            {
                "browserAttachTimeout" : 0,
                "elementScrollBehavior" : 0,
                "enablePersistentHover" : true,
                "ie.browserCommandLineSwitches" : "",
                "ie.edgechromium" : false,
                "ie.edgepath" : "",
                "ie.ensureCleanSession" : false,
                "ie.fileUploadDialogTimeout" : 3000,
                "ie.forceCreateProcessApi" : false,
                "ignoreProtectedModeSettings" : false,
                "ignoreZoomSetting" : false,
                "initialBrowserUrl" : "http://localhost:5555/",
                "nativeEvents" : true,
                "requireWindowFocus" : false
            },
            "setWindowRect" : true,
            "strictFileInteractability" : false,
            "timeouts" : 
            {
                "implicit" : 0,
                "pageLoad" : 300000,
                "script" : 30000
            },
            "unhandledPromptBehavior" : "dismiss and notify"
        },
        "sessionId" : "6d10a485-493d-4176-ac62-3e5f29447b50"
    }
}

From then i managed to open Edge by edited those 2 options as mentioned above.

 

It's now working, i had to double the blackslah of my edge path option. The correct code is :

_WD_Option('Driver', @ScriptDir & '\include\' & (@Compiled ? '' : 'Exe_externe\') & 'IEDriverServer.exe')
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log trace ')
    _WD_Option('Port', 5555)
    Local $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": { "se:ieOptions" : { "ie.edgepath":"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\msedge.exe", "ie.edgechromium":true, "ignoreProtectedModeSettings":true }}}}'

    $iWDPid = _WD_Startup()
    $sWDSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)

Thanks for the help !

Going forward on my project to pilote an IE mode Edge browser, i got another problem. It looks like WebDriver functions are not working well with IEDriverServer and even some of them are considered as unknown command.

See bellow, the result when i'm trying to locate an element by name :

_WD_GetElementByName($sWDSession, "nir") ==> Console :

__WD_Post ==> Webdriver Exception: {
	"value" : 
	{
		"error" : "invalid selector",
		"message" : "Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression //*[@name=\"nir\"] because of the following error:\nTypeError"
    	"stacktrace" : ""
    }
}

When i'm trying to edit an input :

_WD_SetElementValue($sWDSession, $hNir, $sNir) ==> console :
 
 _WD_ElementAction ==> Unknown Command: {
    "value" : 
    {
        "error" : "unknown command",
        "message" : "Command not found: POST /session/b7e28baf-19bf-43d3-8ff2-7cfa79c51a14/element/value",
        "stacktrace" : ""
    }
}

 

Any idea ?

@KerasI'm not sure why it wouldn't like that xpath since AFAIK the other major webdrivers all accept it without any issues. If you take a look at the code for _WD_GetElementByName, you will see that it is just a wrapper for _WD_FindElement. You will need to experiment to find an xpath that works with this driver and then report back.

I'm not sure what's happening as far as _WD_SetElementValue. Does this happen with all webdrivers or just IEDriver? What are the contents of $hNir and $sNir?

[Keras]

@Danp2I tried with CSSSelector strategy instead of Xpath and it worked for _WD_FindElement. I'll have to experiment a bit more to find out why it haven't worked with Xpath strategy.

Regarding _WD_SetElementValue, it was maybe not working because $hNir was the handle returned by _WD_GetElementByName which resulted into an error. With the CSSSelector method, _WD_SelEmentValue is working a little bit. It sets the value on the input, but it does it really slowly, like 1 character each 2 secondes and it end up with a timed out :

__WD_Post: URL=HTTP://127.0.0.1:5555/session/156e8b6e-f483-4f52-9606-dd4370257d1e/element/6c4decdb-bc31-4f8a-9262-716d440be3a3/value; $sData={"id":"6c4decdb-bc31-4f8a-9262-716d440be3a3", "text":"1971159606364"}
__WD_Post: StatusCode=0; ResponseText=WinHTTP request timed out before Webdriver...
__WD_Post ==> Send / Recv error: WinHTTP request timed out before Webdriver
_WD_ElementAction: WinHTTP request timed out before Webdriver...
_WD_ElementAction ==> Send / Recv error: WinHTTP request timed out before Webdriver
_WD_SetElementValue ==> Send / Recv error

 

[Danp2]

@KerasIt seems like you are fighting an uphill battle with IEDriver. I wonder if there is a way to make this work with the standard MSEdge driver. 🤔

 

[Keras]

@Danp2I hope so. There is still the message :

"Turn off remote debugging to open this site in IE mode otherwise it might not work as expected."

I saw there that they had once the same issue on IE driver and it got patched. I'll see if i can ask for the same for MSEdge driver 🙏.

Fixed the (very very) slow part of InternetExplorerDriver WebDriver by replacing IEDriverServer.exe (switched from x64 version to x32 version). Everything is good now !

Thanks for help !

Please share to us full working example.

I got a _WD_ElementAction 'clear' that is not working on Edge with IEDriver but is working on Mozilla with geckodriver (exact same input and code) :
 

Local $sEmailInput = _WD_GetElementByID($sWDSession, "exampleInputEmail1")
_WD_ElementAction($sWDSession, $sEmailInput, "VALUE", $sEmail)
_WD_ElementAction($sWDSession, $sEmailInput, "clear")

Output : error : 10 ($_WD_ERROR_Exception)

So i'm looking to send keyboard command into the input in order to send "CTRL+a" then "delete" and i saw some example in this forum, so i tried this to first send "enter" keyboard command (here is the list😞

Local $sEmailInput = _WD_GetElementByID($sWDSession, "exampleInputEmail1")
_WD_ElementAction($sWDSession, $sEmailInput, "VALUE", $sEmail)
_WD_ElementAction($sWDSession, $sEmailInput, "value", "\uE007")

The result is "\uE007" written into the input, what i'm missing ?

I'm not sure about _WD_ElementAction, but I know this can be done with _WD_Action.

[Keras]

I went for something proper than sending keyboard command. It works both with IEDriver and Geckodriver :

Local $sElement = _WD_GetElementByName($oSelf.sWDSession, $sQuery)
Local $sJsonElement = '{"element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf":"' & $sElement & '"}'
_WD_ExecuteScript($oSelf.sWDSession, "arguments[0].value = '' ;", $sJsonElement)

How did you declare 

$oSelf

 

?

_WD_ExecuteScript($oSelf.sWDSession, "arguments[0].value = '' ;", $sJsonElement)

 

I tested this code with chromedriver to set a value of an element and this is superfast compared to _WD_ElementAction, $sSession, $sElement, "value", $sValue).
However, it doesn't work if $sValue contains a @CR or @LF character.  Any suggestion to allow these characters?

[Danp2]

@CYChoCan you test this scenario with _WD_SetElementValue using an $iStyle of $_WD_OPTION_Advanced?

My $sValue looks like this:

I tested this with @Keras code as follows and it works fine.
 

$sValue = StringReplace($sValue, @CRLF, "")
Local $sJsonElement = '{"element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf": "' & $sElement & '"}'
_WD_ExecuteScript($sSession, "arguments[0].value = '" & $sValue & "'; ", $sJsonElement)

_WD_SetElementValue using an $iStyle of $_WD_OPTION_Advanced works with $sValue containing @CRLF, but it can't accomodate double quotation. The following code works fine.
 

$sValue = StringReplace($sValue, '"', "'")
_WD_SetElementValue($sSession, $sElement, $sValue, $_WD_OPTION_Advanced)

I am currently using the following code, borrowed from you, and I will have to stick with this for the time being.
 

_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, "click")
ClipPut($sValue)
Sleep(100)

$sAction = '{"actions":[{"type": "key", "id": "keyboard_1", "actions": [{"type": "keyDown", "value": "\uE009"},'
$sAction &= '{"type": "pause", "duration": 500},'
$sAction &= '{"type": "keyDown", "value": "v"}, {"type": "keyUp", "value": "v"},'
$sAction &= '{"type": "keyUp", "value": "\uE009"}]}]}'
_WD_Action($sSession, "actions", $sAction)
