WebDriver UDF - Help & Support (III)

Question: Is it possible to add something to browser's local storage?

I've recently learned how to add cookie and that was easy, probably adding to local storage is somehow similar?

;cookie add
    $sName = "cookieName"
    $svalue ="cookieValue"
    $sCookie = '{"cookie": {"name":"' & $sName & '","value":"' & $svalue & '"}}'
    $sRes = _WD_Cookies($sSession, 'add', $sCookie)

@LaurynelisYou should be able to control local storage using _WD_ExecuteScript and Javascript.

Edit: The function _WD_Storage will be available in the next release to provide this functionality.

IDK. I would expect the saved value to be updated each time the function is called with a new value.

What about this scenario:

_MAIN()

Func _Main()
    ; presetting
    $_WD_DEBUG = $_WD_DEBUG_None
    
    _1()
    
    ; restore settings ($_WD_DEBUG_None)
    _WD_DebugSwitch()


    ; set new debug level
    $_WD_DEBUG = $_WD_DEBUG_Error
    ; reset switch internall storage to new setting ($_WD_DEBUG_Error)
    _WD_DebugSwitch(Null)
    
EndFunc

Func _1()
    ; first usage - internally store current settings + switch to $_WD_DEBUG_Full
    _WD_DebugSwitch($_WD_DEBUG_Full)
    ; do your stuff
    _2()
    ; do your stuff
EndFunc

Func _2()
    ; switch to $_WD_DEBUG_Error
    _WD_DebugSwitch($_WD_DEBUG_Error)
    ; do your stuff
EndFunc

This example clearly shows that you need to have direct control over when a stored value is changed.

Here is my modified version:

; #FUNCTION# ====================================================================================================================
; Name ..........: _WD_DebugSwitch
; Description ...: Switch to new debug level or switch back to saved debug level
; Syntax ........: _WD_DebugSwitch([$vMode = Default])
; Parameters ....: $vMode               - [optional] Set new $_WD_DEBUG level. When not specified restore saved debug level.
; Return values .: None
; Author ........: mLipok
; Modified ......:
; Remarks .......: Function saves debug level only at first call
; Related .......:
; Link ..........:
; Example .......: _WD_DebugSwitch($_WD_DEBUG_Full)
; ===============================================================================================================================
Func _WD_DebugSwitch($vMode = Default)
    Local Const $sFuncName = "_WD_DebugSwitch"
    Local Static $_WD_DEBUG_Saved = $_WD_DEBUG ; at first run save currently used debug level, and treat them as "DEFAULT USER CHOICE"
    Local $iErr = $_WD_ERROR_Success

    If $vMode = Default Then ; restore saved debug level
        $_WD_DEBUG = $_WD_DEBUG_Saved
    ElseIf $vMode = Null Then ; reset saved debug level
        $_WD_DEBUG_Saved = $_WD_DEBUG
    ElseIf Not IsInt($vMode) Then
        $iErr = $_WD_ERROR_InvalidDataType
    ElseIf $vMode < $_WD_DEBUG_None Or $vMode > $_WD_DEBUG_Full Then
        $iErr = $_WD_ERROR_InvalidValue
    Else ; set new debug level
        $_WD_DEBUG = $vMode
    EndIf
    Return SetError(__WD_Error($sFuncName, $iErr), 0, '')
EndFunc   ;==>_WD_DebugSwitch

It is a combination of two functionalities, the one that I have used so far, and the possibility of changing the saved value (with Null parameter).

I think this is an overly complex example of poorly written code.😩 IMO, each of your functions that change the logging level should restore it before exiting the function.

This implementation doesn't make sense to me. Why are you manually setting the debug level? Isn't that what _WD_DebugSwitch is supposed to handle?

I'm thinking that you need to consider some alternatives --

• Use of a stack where you can push / pop debug levels
• Additional parameters to override default functionality (ie: force update saved debug level)

Hi Dan,

I have problems in understanding _WD_ElementSelectAction. I want to select an option out of a list but all parameters of _WD_ElementSelectAction seem to retrieve information, not to choose one of the options.

How can I do it?
 

 

[Danp2]

@HJL You should use _WD_ElementOptionSelect when you want to click on a single option in a Select element.

[HJL]

Thanks 🙂

i would like to ask some help:

i downloaded the chm file from your github map, to see how its working, but i can see only the keywords on left side, nothing deeper content on right side..

how its possible?

that is the greatest way when you planned to know something new where the first step is an invalid..  now lets learn..

this is why i dont want to let away ie.. a once for all working method instead of these forced bugged ...

@vkrisz81You need to unblock the CHM file. See here for explanation.

P.S. This is a common problem with CHM files. It's clear that you are frustrated, but please don't "blame the messenger". 😉

win xp existed.. how many years? was very stable.

win 7 existed how many years? was stable

now win10.. win11.. and bug bug bug :S

and i am forced to follow this because of .. throw it.. thanks i try to fix this

Hi Dan,

I have problems with the application of _WD_ElementOptionSelect(). Is the following command correct? It's a pulldown menu with different languages to choose from.

$sXPath = "//a[normalize-space()='Sprache']"
$sValue = "German"
_WD_ElementOptionSelect($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $sXPath & "//option[contains '" & $sValue & "'")

& "'")

Issue is here.

[Danp2]

@HJL You need to correct your usage of "contains". See here for the correct format.

P.S. Your post really belongs in the GH&S thread (thanks to the @mod for moving it).

I have automated the login of a website (https://login.tecalliance.net) with autoit/webdriver. However while logging into the website there is an checkbox "Remember me" (in Dutch: Mij onthouden"). Checking this checkbox will make the next logon faster, however what ever I do, I cannot get the checkbox to be "checked".

The line starting at: $sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//*[@name='remember']")
The "source" below is only one of the version I tried to check the checkbox, but I have been at this for about 2 days Googling and searching the forum.

Does anyone have a suggestion to get this checkbox checked ?

This screenshot shows a case when it is checked or not ?
Give us also the other case.

[mLipok]

you can use:

document.querySelector("label[for='input34']").click()

or:

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByCSSSelector, "label[for='input34']"
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'CLICK')

@Jemboy

1. Your post has been moved to this thread in the GH&S section (thanks to the @mod that moved it for me). General questions regarding the UDF belong here, not in the thread in the AutoIt Example Scripts section.
    
2. Your attempt to check the checkbox using _WD_ElementAction / Select command will never work.
    
3. Try using WD_ElementActionEx / Check command instead.
    
4. I doubt that you will achieve the goal of a faster login unless you switch to using an existing user profile.

Thanks, now I know how to use "contains". Are there other extras features for "contains" like changing uppercase to lowercase? If, where can I find them?

Next problem:  $_WD_LOCATOR_ByPartialLinkText does not work as expected or is there a thought error?

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, '//*[@id="onetrust-accept-btn-handler"]')      ; works
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByCSSSelector, '#onetrust-accept-btn-handler')          ; works
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByLinkText, 'onetrust-accept-btn-handler')              ; works
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByPartialLinkText, 'onetrust-accept-btn')               ; @error = 8
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByPartialLinkText, 'onetrust')                          ; @error = 8

 

[Danp2]

@HJLLots of resources on the net for xpath usage. Here's one that I've used in the past.

As indicated by the "link" in their names, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByLinkText and $_WD_LOCATOR_ByPartialLinkText can only be used to locate links ("a" elements). See here for the full details on locator strategies.

[mLipok]

What kind of replacement I can use for:

_IEAction($oElement, "scrollintoview", 200, 0, False)

?

Only with JavaScript ?
