WebDriver UDF - Help & Support (III)

[tac7]

Hello All,
I want to open a FF Windows and a Second Windows and open a new tab in the second windows, but my code don't work.
 

Local $iWebDriver_PID = _WD_Startup()

$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sCapabilities)
_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://www.google.com/") ; >> Open the first windows

MsgBox(0, "", "")

$aHandleNewWindows = _WD_Window($sSession, 'new', '{"type":"window"}'); >> Open NEW Windows
_WD_Window($sSession, 'Switch', '{"handle":"' & $aHandleNewWindows & '"}') ; Swith on this the Windows
_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://www.google.com/") ; Nagigate to google

MsgBox(0, "", "")

$aHandleNewtab = _WD_NewTab($sSession, True)    ; >> Open New Tab but on the First Windows and not the second !

It seems I don't understand the option 'switch' with _WD_Windows !?

[Danp2]

@tac7I just ran your code on both Chrome and Firefox, and the results were as follows --

• Chrome - New tab opened on the original window
• Firefox - New tab opened on the second window

It sounds like you had a different outcome with FF. Can you post the full logs from the Scite output panel?

[tac7]

Hi Danp2, tanks a lot,

I'm losing my mind!!!

I did not work with FF but with Edge.

I confirm it's work Fine on FF but not on Edge. (I don't Have Chrome!)

There's a minor bug fix release available for the Webdriver UDF. More important, you should definitely update your copy of WinHttp.au3 to ensure proper functionality.

I didn't test Edge, but I would expect it to behave similarly to Chrome since they are both based on Chromium.

Edit: This modification appears to be a viable workaround --

$sHandleNewtab = _WD_NewTab($sSession, Default, Default, Default, "noreferrer")    ; >> Tab now opens on the correct window

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to take the screenshot of the page but complete it, example I want to capture a table, but this table is a bit long towards the bottom, and if I do it with the following function, it cuts it off since it is not displayed in display the entire table.

$sButton = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//*[@class='tablaPagina']/tbody/tr[2]")
$cResult = _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sButton, "screenshot")

There is a possibility that I capture the total image that I want without having to move the scroll so that the image is not cropped.

I suppose that this
https://github.com/Danp2/au3WebDriver/pull/325/commits/5c23b9e4804d25a4af0b87ec59a1378fa8d14452

should be helpfull to you, especially:

; change the attributes of the frame to improve the visibility of the <select> element, on which the options will be indicated
    Local $sJavaScript = "var element = arguments[0]; element.setAttribute('height', '500'); element.setAttribute('padding', '0');"
    _WD_ExecuteScript($sSession, $sJavaScript, __WD_JsonElement($sFrame), Default, Default)
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, ''

I suppose that you have element which have SCROLLBAR and you need to scroll it.
In this case, you should change the size attribute of such an element to make sure that the scroll bar is not needed because the contents of the resized element should be fully visible.

I have problem launching webdriver when running with proxifier (unable to start). If I turn off the proxifier it works fine

log

[1654764908.658][INFO]: Starting ChromeDriver 102.0.5005.61 (0e59bcc00cc4985ce39ad31c150065f159d95ad3-refs/branch-heads/5005@{#819}) on port 9515
[1654764908.658][INFO]: Please see https://chromedriver.chromium.org/security-considerations for suggestions on keeping ChromeDriver safe.

in this case what do i need to do

Hi all,

Anyone have any tips how to disconnect and reconnect to a Chrome webdriver session in the same application? 

I successfully got re-attached to a Firefox session after calling a second application but first I want to do it within the same application and most important I want to use Chrome since I wrote a couple dozen applications sharing the same Chrome code.

Thanks for any help.

Edited June 11, 2022 by NassauSky

[Danp2]

@NassauSkyIt would be helpful if you provided a more detailed description explaining your scenario. For example --

• Why do you need to perform the "reattach" in the first place?
• Is the webdriver instance being reused or is it being closed then opened again?
• What have you tried thus far?

P.S. Search the forum for the terms "remote-debugging-port" and "debuggerAddress"  should give you some ideas on how this can be done.

[NassauSky]

Thanks @Danp2

1) I was clicking on a Javascript tab and then I lost connection to the session where I couldn't perform any xPath queries. It was driving me nuts for a while and what got me was that Chrome inspector allowed me to use the same queries I was using in my code successfully. I was also able to use inspector console to run the queries from Chrome inspector.  

2) I wanted to re-use the instance thinking I can reconnect to it (almost like a 15 second reset unplugging a device)  hoping that would resolve the issue.

3) Our Library uses Chrome on all the PC's so I really hesitated using Firefox but I got to the point where I had tested and modified some sample code which used used Firefox and got it to successfully reconnect to the existing instance after calling runwait from separate source.   My next step was combining the Firefox  main source with the 2nd source. I got this to work in where it creates a new $sSession variable as it reconnects to the same instance that was still running.

 

I apologize but my difficulty (and maybe others) using the  correct verbiage is an important factor in debugging. At times I just can't think of the correct words. In this case, re-connect vs re-attach and if I thought of the correct word 'attach' at the time I might have realized it might be a tab issue.  How many times I have been running this same project over and over again using Chrome and it was opening an actual Chrome tab just before clicking on the Javascript tab.

It seems to be more than that and I still am trying to see if I can use the same successful Firefox re-connect/re-attach method but in Chrome as mLipok shared that I used here: 

I'm going to try a few things now: 

A) Search the forum for the terms "remote-debugging-port" and "debuggerAddress"  (Thanks!)

Looking through mLipok's Firefox code to see if I can implement it in Chrome

C) Research if this

_WD_Option('DriverDetect', False) ; To ignore another instance of Chrome

has any bearing on reconnecting/attaching to an existing session in Chrome if I make the last parameter True

 

Only one employee at my job will be collecting stats from our server using this method so if I can't  get this working in Chrome, I'll just install Firefox on her PC and keep it updated. 

Thanks again @Danp2

Hi Dan,

I have problems using a different profile ($sChromeProfil). Console shows 

"args":["user-data-dir=C:\/Webdriver\/CHROME_WD_Profile"  and __WD_Post ==> Send / Recv error (6) : ResponseText=WinHTTP request timed out before Webdriver... and _WD_CreateSession ==> Webdriver Exception (10)

What is wrong? Perhaps \ and / ? I tried both of them.

 

[Danp2]

@HJLHave you tried the example code from the wiki? It doesn't use the newer _WD_Capabilities functions, but you should be able to adapt it fairly easily.

Hi all & Dan,

What's the trick to getting Webdriver to wait until a page is fully loaded. This  example is of a website which has been giving me a problem all morning and maybe you can see it taking a while to load when you test this example (if you even have to test it since you might know why without testing)

 

   SplashTextOn('Notice', 'Loading Website ... ',500,150,default,default,33,'Arial',14)
        _WD_Navigate($sSession, 'https://www.tutorialspoint.com/html/html_frames.htm')
        _WD_LoadWait($sSession, 300,40000)
   SplashOff()

Before the 40 seconds it moves on but the page isn't fully loaded

 

Strange thing is that this doesn't seem to work right either (as far as I understand)

Func ExampleNoLoad()
    $iResult = 0
    HotkeySet ( "+{ESC}", "_Exit" ) ;+shift !alt ^ctrl #winkey
    $hTimer = TimerInit()
    SplashTextOn('Notice', 'Loading Website ... ',500,150,default,default,33,'Arial',14)
        _WD_Navigate($sSession, GUICtrlRead($XpathUrl))
        While $iResult = 0
            $iResult = _WD_LoadWait($sSession, 300,3000)
            ConsoleWrite("-Waiting " & Round(TimerDiff($hTimer)/1000,1) & @TAB & "Failed->" & @TAB & "$_WD_ERROR_Timeout=" & @error & @CRLF)
        WEnd
    SplashOff()
EndFunc ;==ExampleNoLoad
Func _Exit()
    ConsoleWrite("Started Func _Exit()" & @CRLF)
    _WD_DeleteSession($sSession)
    _WD_Shutdown()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>Exit

The above code loops and checks every 3 seconds for a _WD_LoadWait success but until that happens it prints out every timeout failure error to the console. Strange that it keeps displaying 0 as the timeout error yet the top left of chrome is still showing the tab is loading and it doesn't seem to make a difference or move forward after the tab loaded.

Thanks for all help and tips.

More info included

[Danp2]

@NassauSkySome websites continue to load in the background even after signalling that the document loading is complete. I would suggest using_WD_WaitElement to pause until it locates one of these late loading elements.

[NassauSky]

Thanks @Danp2, this happens once in a blue moon and I didn't notice that function _WD_WaitElement.  I created a LoadWaitForXpath function a couple years ago that seems to do similar but I wasn't sure what element wasn't loading.

Thanks again!

[mLipok]

@Danp2

Today question was asked here:

 

I start to wonder....
Could you explain how to use _WD_LoadWait() but with $sElement parameter ?

 

[Danp2]

@mLipokIf provided, the function will keep checking the element until an error is returned indicating that the element was no longer found. At that time, it is assumed that the DOM has been invalidated and the navigation is proceeding to the target URL.
