WebDriver UDF (W3C compliant version) - 2024/09/21

[seadoggie01]

I've tried searching the forum and I don't see anywhere that this has been mentioned before... is there a method to save a PDF from Chrome? I've navigated to it after logging in, but is is displayed in Chrome's PDF viewer. I'm not sure if there is a way to disable the PDF viewer in the settings because then it would likely download the file.

[Danp2]

@seadoggie01 Instead of navigating to the URL, you could try using the new function _WD_DownloadFile to perform the download. However, I haven't performed any tests to see how it works on a site requiring a login.

[seadoggie01]

Well, I'd like to, but it doesn't appear to be in the latest version of WD Core... is it somewhere else? It looks like you say it was added in version 0.2.0.4, but it's not in 0.2.0.5 😐

Edit: It was released in wd_helper in version 0.2.0.4 and removed in 0.2.0.5. Found it on GitHub's history

Edit 2: It was just me. I had an old version, sorry!

Edit 3: It seems like there isn't a valid url for me to download. The pdf is fetched using javascript and displays as a url ending in "searchReport.do" When I try to get the XPath to the download button, it's in a Shadow DOM (which I've only just heard of), so I don't think I can click it

Final Edit: It almost works now. I navigate through the website, open the pdf, switch to that tab, and execute javascript to click the download button. It doesn't work when I pass it through the _WD_ExecuteScript function, but it works in the console. When I execute this:

_WD_ExecuteScript($sSession, 'document.getElementById("toolbar").shadowRoot.getElementById("download").click()')

It returns an error like this:

__WD_Post: URL=HTTP://----------:9515/session/5e1c81743640c4e6c64654d2dbad4172/execute/sync; $sData={"script":"document.getElementById(\"toolbar\").shadowRoot.getElementById(\"download\").click()", "args":[[]]}

Hi !

I wanted to play the demo with Edge

I had to modify a line on this function : 

 

Func SetupEdge()
    ;_WD_Option('Driver', 'MicrosoftWebDriver.exe')  
    _WD_Option('Driver', 'msedgedriver.exe') ; This is the name of the latest version of the webdriver downloadable on the Microsoft link we get on udf description ( https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/)
    _WD_Option('Port', 17556)
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose')

    $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities":{}}'
EndFunc   ;==>SetupEdge

And I get this Error : 

_WDStartup: OS:    WIN_10 WIN32_NT 18363 
_WDStartup: AutoIt:    3.3.14.5
_WDStartup: WD.au3:    0.2.0.6
_WDStartup: WinHTTP:    1.6.4.1
_WDStartup: Driver:    msedgedriver.exe
_WDStartup: Params:    --verbose
_WDStartup: Port:    17556
__WD_Post: URL=HTTP://127.0.0.1:17556/session; $sData={"capabilities":{}}
__WD_Post: StatusCode=0; ResponseText=0
__WD_Post ==> Send / Recv error
_WD_CreateSession: 0
_WD_CreateSession ==> Webdriver Exception: HTTP status = 0

Anybody can tell me what can I do ?

Great Thanks for your Help

@danylarson There's an updated version of the WinHTTP UDF here. Please update and then report back if this fixes your issue.

[danylarson]

@Danp2


I downloaded the latest version from github and replaced my files

The result still the same

_WDStartup: OS:    WIN_10 WIN32_NT 18363 
_WDStartup: AutoIt:    3.3.14.5
_WDStartup: WD.au3:    0.2.0.6
_WDStartup: WinHTTP:    1.6.4.2
_WDStartup: Driver:    msedgedriver.exe
_WDStartup: Params:    --verbose
_WDStartup: Port:    17556
__WD_Post: URL=HTTP://127.0.0.1:17556/session; $sData={"capabilities":{}}
__WD_Post: StatusCode=0; ResponseText=0
__WD_Post ==> Send / Recv error
_WD_CreateSession: 0
_WD_CreateSession ==> Webdriver Exception: HTTP status = 0

Thanks for your fast reply 
Can you test it and  tell me if it works for you using the "msedgedriver.exe'" ?

Since the newer Edge is now based on Chromium, you'll need to use

_WD_Option('Port', 9515)

 

[danylarson]

@Danp2

I changed the port number

Func SetupEdge()
    ;_WD_Option('Driver', 'MicrosoftWebDriver.exe')
    ;_WD_Option('Port', 17556)

    _WD_Option('Driver', 'msedgedriver.exe')
    _WD_Option('Port', 9515)

    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose')
    $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities":{}}'
EndFunc   ;==>SetupEdge

 

now it returns :

The file is at the same level of the demo file

Perhaps I used the wrong file can you give me the link who lead to the right file  if this is the case?

Thanks for your help

"unknown error: cannot find MSEdge binary"

This is telling you that it can't find the executable to launch MSEdge. I actually ran into this same issue yesterday, and it was a bear to figure out the solution. Here's what worked for me --

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"ms:edgeOptions": {"binary": "' & StringReplace (@UserProfileDir, "\", "/") & '/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Edge SxS/Application/msedge.exe"}}}}'

Adjust the location as needed. Your other option is to add the directory containing MSEdge to the Path environmental variable.

When I m  looking for the file "msedge.exe"  i don t find it on my drive  and I stated that i don t have this folder on my pc : 

/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Edge SxS

Should I need to install something else ?

Great thanks !

[Danp2]

@danylarson It isn't clear which version of Edge you are trying to test. The info we have been discussing is for the newer Chromium-based version of Edge. If you are attempting to use the pre-Chromium version of Edge, then you need a completely different set of instructions.

[VodkaDiva]

Dear dan . 
I want to click 2 select . But 2 select have same everything (id,class,name,.v.v) 

//input[@name='timezone_id']

how can i select the button select second ? 
Thanks dan !

[water]

How to select a value from a dropdown ist described in my example script here.

[Danp2]

@VodkaDiva You should be able to select the desired element by adjusting your xpath to select a specific instance, like this --

//input[@name='timezone_id'][2]

 

[danylarson]

@Danp2

I think I have the latest version of edge

On parameters  i can see  : Microsoft Edge 44.18362.449.0 (Microsoft EdgeHTML 18.18363)

Could you post me the correct instruction if i my version is not corresponding to the code I used ?

Thanks !

[Danp2]

@danylarson That's the original or "legacy" version of Edge. So your initial mistake was changing MicrosoftWebDriver.exe to msedgedriver.exe.

 

[VodkaDiva]

Thanks dan ! love you !

[danylarson]

@Danp2
 

I Installed the latest version of edge

 
Here is my code : 
 

_WD_Option('Driver', 'msedgedriver.exe')
_WD_Option('Port', 9515)

_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\edge.log"')

; I had to change the path  : 

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"ms:edgeOptions": {"binary": "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"}}}}'

Now it returns me invalid argument:
