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

[Danp2]

v0.3.1.1 has been released with the following updates --

    - Fix (_WD_ElementOptionSelect): Correctly capture and re-throw errors (seadoggie01)
    - Fix (__WD_CloseDriver): Call ProcessWaitClose to ensure each process closes
    - Chore: Updated wd_demo.au3
        - Update DemoFrames example

[Danp2]

v0.4.0.1 has been released with the following updates --

    - Added: _WD_PrintToPDF
    - Fix (_WD_Window): Properly handle 'print' result
    - Changed (_WD_ElementActionEx): Added 'hide' and 'show' options
    - Changed (_WD_ElementAction): Added support for Shadow, CompRole & CompLabel actions
    - Changed (_WD_GetShadowRoot): Use _WD_ElementAction instead of _WD_ExecuteScript
    - Changed (_WD_NewTab): Use native Webdriver commands when Javascript isn't required
    - Changed (_WD_FindElement): Support shadow roots
    - Changed (_WD_Window): Support 'full' option for screenshots

Note: The shadow root stuff isn't officially in the specs yet, so YMMV when attempting to use it

@Danp2, Thank you for your hard work and timely updates of this wonderful UDF.
My Windows 10 cannot read the screenshot files generated by the current demo code. I commented out $sDecode = BinaryToString($bDecode) and changed FileWrite($hFileOpen, $sDecode) to FileWrite($hFileOpen, $bDecode) and it works perfect.

[Danp2]

@CYCho That's for that info. I'll take a look at it later today.

[Danp2]

@CYCho I looked into the issue, but I wasn't able to replicate it. Can you share more details on your setup, such as --

• Autoit version
• Browser / webdriver version
• Windows 10 version
• Etc

Honestly, I'm not sure that the BinaryToString functionality is needed. Perhaps we can get feedback from some other folks that use the UDF.

[Nine]

Tested on both Win7 (Chrome and Edge) and Win10 (Edge).  In all cases, demo created correct .png files.

When I try to open the .png file, an alert pops up saying that the fiile cannot be opened because it is not a correct bitmap file or it may be in a format not supported by this device.

[Danp2]

Strange. I'm running the exact same version of Window, Chrome, & Chromedriver. I was previously testing w/ Chrome 87, but updated just now and the results are the same for me. I do recall seeing a similar issue recently, but I don't remember if it was related to window screen captures or element screen captures.

If you view the PNG file in a text editor, do  you see anything unusual? Can you post the bad file as an attachment to this thread?

I tested both window and element screen captures and the result was the same. Attached is a file from window screen capture. I tried all available apps to open the file but to no avail.

Edit: When I try to attach the file here, the following message pops up resulting in failure.

Edit2 : I changed the file extension to txt and uploaded it.

@CYCho Unsure why this is occurring, but it seems like the call to BinaryToString isn't needed. I'll include the change in the next update.

Hi guys

I have a little problem with the "clear" - action. I'm trying to delete the content of the input field and then insert $Name. "clear" deletes the text in the input box, but as soon as I add $Name, the deleted content appears again, with the new content inserted after it. Is this behavior intentional or do I not understand the function correctly? 

My assumption is that clear only works if the text to be deleted also appears in the html.

I have the latest version of udf & chromedriver.

Thank you for your help.

<input data-v-ded29398="" data-v-7db6081e="" name="designName" type="text" id="input-design-name" maxlength="50" class="design-name-input">

$Search = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//input[@id='input-design-name']")
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $Search, 'clear')
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $Search, 'value', $Name)

 

[Danp2]

@_leo_ This is probably due to the website's underlying framework (Angular, React, etc). You may want to search to forum because I vaguely recall a similar issue being discussed.

[_leo_]

@Danp2 Thanks. https://builtwith.com/spreadshirt.com does not detect the underlying framework. I doubt that I have enough knowledge to make framework specific code changes.

I think I will be more sucessfull with trying to make my old work-around work again. I used:

_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $Search, 'value', "\uE003")

but since I updated my webdriver udf (from 2019 version) , this does no longer send a backspace. It just inserts "\uE003" as text. 

[Danp2]

See prior discussion here for same website.

Hello @Danp2, 
Could you please help me with DesiredCapatibilities for Edge chromium ? I have entered this 
 

'{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"ms:edgeOptions": {"w3c": true, "excludeSwitches": ["enable-automation"], "useAutomationExtension": true, ' & _
'"args": ["start-maximized", "load-extension=path_to_extension"]}}}}'

What only works is that it opens Webdriver for Edge, then it opens second command line for msedge then Edge browser appears with Extension but no automation happens

Also i had to remove 

{"binary": "' & StringReplace (@ProgramFilesDir, "\", "/") & '/Microsoft/Edge/Application/msedge.exe"

otherwise Edge browser would not appear. Could you please help me ?

[Danp2]

Hi @rkskaras Can you provide more details please, such as --

• Does it work if you remove the "load-extension" portion?
• What extension are you trying to load?
• Show us the results from the Scite output panel

That's interesting because IIRC Edge wouldn't load without this when I first tested. Can you check and see where Edge is installed on your system? For me it now work both with and without the above.

It now works for me also on Win7 without the binary option.

@rkskaras You got a really old version of WD.  Download the latest version...

I'm writing a few apps needing to modify html after it finishes loading assorted websites with chromedriver.

One such application will implement an ADA feature to zoom the page for the visually impaired.
I tried :

 

_WD_Navigate($sSession, 'https://www.autoitscript.com/site/')
_WD_LoadWait($sSession, 200,5000)

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//head")
$sValue = _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'property', 'innerHTML')
$sValue=StringRegExpReplace($sValue, '([\n]*)', '') ;Remove LF's
$sZoomHead="<style>body {zoom: 4; -moz-transform: scale(3); -moz-transform-origin: 0 0;} </style>"
_WD_ExecuteScript($sSession,'document.head.innerHTML="' & $sZoomHead & $sValue & '"')


$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//body")
$sValue = _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'property', 'innerHTML')
$sValue=StringRegExpReplace($sValue, '([\n]*)', '') ;Remove LF's
$sZoomBody1="<div class='zoomed'>"
$sZoomBody2="</div>"
_WD_ExecuteScript($sSession,'document.head.innerHTML="' & $sZoomBody1 & $sValue & $sZoomBody2 & '"')

 

But it seems that because the <Head> and the <Body> has single or double quotes in it, it doesn't send the strings properly.

Does anyone know of any other ways or tips for doing this?

Thanks
