Yeah, i'm using $_WD_LOCATOR_ByID and $_WD_LOCATOR_ByClassName in a few places in the older part of my script as I hadn't learned xpath yet.

I suppose it wouldn't be to hard to update those to XPath.

 

edit, the $_WD_LOCATOR_ByID="id" which is used in 2 functions.  Is the "id" ok to use in _WD_FrameEnter(), _WD_ElementAction()?

Please show me some working examples where it you were using $_WD_LOCATOR_ByID and $_WD_LOCATOR_ByClassName.

Don't confuse a locator type with a parameter being passed to the webdriver. The Switch to Frame specs call for a json key named "id", where the associated value is either null, an integer index, or a web element. I'm sure the specs are similar for interacting with elements.

I've already finished converting those over to xpath as it was very simple.  I'm testing a softphone and there are a few elements that have nothing but an id or class and they are unique so they used to work fine but the conversion to xpath was super simple.  I had never used xpath before using your UDF's.  Perhaps some xpath help links could be added to the first post as it seems to be VERY important to be able to really use this properly.

For me, I got a lot of help from these 3 site.  Also, it took a while to realize that xpath is case sensitive

https://gist.github.com/LeCoupa/8c305ec8c713aad07b14

 

 

As for some examples of what I was using vs how I converted over to xpath

ByClassName:  if _WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByClassName, "ctiSoftphone", 2000, 120000) = 0 Then

Switched to:  if _WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//div[@class='ctiSoftphone']", 2000, 120000) = 0 Then

 

ByID:  $oExtension = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByID, "ab120f6a04114d5bab4cfc96abc75da1_PRIMARY_LINE_NUMBER")

Switched to:  $oExtension = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//input[contains(@id, 'PRIMARY_LINE_NUMBER')]")

I know you are using Chrome, which isn't completely up to snuff with the W3C specs at this time. Did you try this with a different browser? I suspect that it won't work, but would need to test to be sure.

@Danp2 Same as BigDaddyO, I didn't know anything about xpath until recently when I had to change my codes. I changed all my ByID strategies to ByXPath and they all work fine in my chromedriver. I always appreciate your efforts to make the webdriver easier to use.

By the way, I find that the $sSelector part of the _WD_FindElement function must be enclosed in double quotes: "//input[@id='login-id']" works, but '//input[@id="login-id"]' doesn't. Is this by design?

<a href="javascript:MemberCheck('2');">Search</a>

<a href="javascript:MemberCheck('3');">Search</a>

These are the links I want to click using chromedriver.

Since the text is same for both links, I tried _WD_LinkClickByText($sSession, "javascript:MemberCheck('2');"), which failed.

Maybe I should try _WD_FindElement, but I don't know how to handle 3 sets of quotation marks in $sSelector. HTML character codes do not seem to work here.

Please give me a hint to solve this problem.

This appears to be a JSON limitation. You can make it work by escaping the double quotes, like this --

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, '//input[@id=\"lst-ib\"]')

hi 

I used _WD_Window($sSession, 'frame', '{"id":1}') to solve my problem. Now I need to enable flash support. What do I need to do in _WD_Option()?

Following code :

"profile.default_content_setting_values.plugins": 1,
"profile.content_settings.plugin_whitelist.adobe-flash-player": 1,
"profile.content_settings.exceptions.plugins.*,*.per_resource.adobe-flash-player": 1,
"PluginsAllowedForUrls": "http://www.xxx.cc"

my code:

$EnableFlash = '{"prefs":{"profile":{"default_content_setting_values":{"plugins": 1}},{"content_settings":{"plugin_whitelist":{"adobe-flash-player":1},{"exceptions":{"plugins":{"*":{"*":{"per_resource":{"adobe-flash-player":1}}}}}}}}},{"PluginsAllowedForUrls": "http://www.xxx.cc"}}'

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"chromeOptions": {"w3c": true},'&$EnableFlash&'}}}'

error:

__WD_Post: URL=HTTP://127.0.0.1:9515/session; $sData={"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"chromeOptions": {"w3c": true},{"prefs":{"profile":{"default_content_setting_values":{"plugins": 1}},{"content_settings":{"plugin_whitelist":{"adobe-flash-player":1},{"exceptions":{"plugins":{"*":{"*":{"per_resource":{"adobe-flash-player":1}}}}}}}}},{"PluginsAllowedForUrls": "http://www.xxx.cc"}}}}}

Hey all. Not sure I should post this there, but since ages when automatizing tests with AutoIt I ran into the simple issue that I always lack the possibility to retrieve the HTTP code returned by the request in my navigator. When you do heavy automations, it's painfull to need to retrive from JS (or other ways) an URI and then do another HTTP request manually in your script to check the HTTP statuscode. (Making another request, and possibly not the same answer than what you had in your navigator).

Looking into this library instead of the old deprecated FF.au3 (with Mozrepl), I saw sadly it's still true and WebDriver specification dosn't allow us to retrieve this HTTP statuscode.

However I was able this time to find another way to retrieve it, by parsing FF logs, so I share it if someone else need that. This works with FF only, but there is a way to do the same thing with Chrome if needed ( All you need to do is tell chrome driver to do "Network.enable". This can be done by enabling Performance logging).

 

I modified a little bit _WD_Option (see attached) to allow set another option :

_WD_Option('FFLogFile', _TempFile(@ScriptDir&"\fflogs\"))

If this value is set, I simply set two environment variables before the start of Firefox, thus I'm able to read FF logs, parse them and retrieve from them my HTTP Statuscode.

 

Func _WD_GetHTTPStatusCode_FFOnly($URI)
    Local Const $sFuncName = "_WD_GetLastHTTPStatusCode"
    Local $uriID = ""

    $sFilePath = $_WD_Firefox_LogFile
    If $sFilePath = "" Then Return SetError(__WD_Error($sFuncName, $_WD_ERROR_InvalidValue, "You need to set option of LogFile in order to be able to retrieve HTTP statuscode"))
    Local $hFileOpen = FileOpen($sFilePath, 0)
    If $hFileOpen = -1 Then
        Return SetError(__WD_Error($sFuncName, $_WD_ERROR_InvalidValue, "Unable to open FF log file"))
    EndIf
    Local $sFileRead = FileRead($hFileOpen)

    ; this is how the log looks like when the request starts
    ; I have to get the id of the request using a regular expression
    ; and use that id later to get the response
    ;
    ;    2017-11-02 14:14:01.170000 UTC - [Main Thread]: D/nsHttp nsHttpChannel::BeginConnect [this=000000BFF27A5000]
    ;    2017-11-02 14:14:01.170000 UTC - [Main Thread]: D/nsHttp host=api.ipify.org port=-1
    ;    2017-11-02 14:14:01.170000 UTC - [Main Thread]: D/nsHttp uri=https://api.ipify.org/?format=text

    Local $pattern = "(?is)BeginConnect \[this=(.*?)\](?:.*?)uri=([^\]]+?)\R"
    $aRet = StringRegExp($sFileRead,$pattern,3)
    For $i = 1 To UBound($aRet) - 1 Step 2
        If $aRet[$i] = $URI Then
            $uriID = $aRet[$i-1]
            ContinueLoop
        EndIf
    Next

    If $uriID = "" THen Return SetError(__WD_Error($sFuncName, $_WD_ERROR_InvalidValue, "Unable to find related URI in FF logs to retrieve HTTP statuscode"))


    ; this is how the response looks like in the log file
    ; ProcessResponse [this=000000CED8094000 httpStatus=200]
    ; I will use another regular espression to get the httpStatus
    ;

    Local $pattern = "(?is)ProcessResponse \[this="&$uriID&" httpStatus=(.*?)\]";
    $aRet = StringRegExp($sFileRead,$pattern,1)
    FileClose($hFileOpen)
    Return $aRet[0]
EndFunc

 

And simple example :

$URI = "http://www.autoitscript.com/404/"
_WD_Navigate($sSession, $URI)
MsgBox(0,"",_WD_GetHTTPStatusCode_FFOnly($URI))

$URI = "https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/191990-webdriver-udf-w3c-compliant-version-08042018/"
_WD_Navigate($sSession, $URI)
MsgBox(0,"",_WD_GetHTTPStatusCode_FFOnly($URI))

Please edit your example as follow:

should be:
