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

[Danp2]

@HJL I believe only the Chromium-based browsers will work with the above technique. For Firefox, you would need to navigate to "about:preferences". However, it seems that Firefox doesn't update while running under a Webdriver session.

As far as why Chrome isn't autoupdating, have you checked the Task Scheduler? There should be multiple tasks that start with GoogleUpdate.

Edit: It seems that the Firefox not updating issue I mentioned above can be resolved by going to the navigating to the About:Config screen and changing "app.update.disabledForTesting" to false.

We have gupdate and gupdatem as services running but automatic updates never come. I just found something about a group policy we have to make...

Is it possible to set app.update.disabledForTesting to false with autoit?

@HJL You may be able to apply this change on a per session basis in the prefs section of your DesiredCapacities string.

Did you hit ENTER by mistake before entering the rest of your post?  😉  Where are the details like your script, what you've tried, the console's debug messages, and any other information that might help in trying to figure out why you are "having lots of trouble"? 

[TheOne23]

Hi Danp,

Just wanted to check if you have a function to automatically update the chrome driver since it is always having an updated driver.

[Danp2]

@TheOne23 Yes... It's called _WD_UpdateDriver and you should be able to find some examples of proper usage on the forum.

Hi @Danp2,

I am now working with the UPS website and unfortunately I cannot post a link to the page, because it is accessed after entering a username and password (that I cannot post publicly).

There is a checkbox that I cannot click using _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'click') -- trying with xpath and full xpath

I suspect that there is some javascript that needs to be triggered prior to clicking, but so far I have been unsuccessful and I was hoping you could help out. Below is a combination of what I found in the wd_demo and some attempts that I have made:

 

$honesty_statement = _WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, '//*[@id="claimHonestyStatementAgreement"]',5000,8000)
   If $honesty_statement then
      $sElementSelector = "//input[@name='claimHonestyStatementAgreement']"
      $sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $sElementSelector)
      ConsoleWrite("$sElement = " & $sElement & @CRLF)
      $sAction = '{"actions":[{"id":"default mouse","type":"pointer","parameters":{"pointerType":"mouse"},"actions":[{"duration":100,"x":0,"y":0,"type":"pointerMove","origin":{"ELEMENT":"'
      $sAction &= $sElement & '","' & $_WD_ELEMENT_ID & '":"' & $sElement & '"}},{"button":2,"type":"pointerDown"},{"button":2,"type":"pointerUp"}]}]}'
      ConsoleWrite("$sAction = " & $sAction & @CRLF)
      _WD_Action($sSession, "actions", $sAction)
      $sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, '/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/main/div/div/ups-cou-app/div/new-claims/ng-component/div[2]/div/form/div[1]/div/input')
      _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'click')
   EndIf

This is an issue you need to resolve. Have you tried clicking the label element instead of the actual checkbox?

I just tried clicking the label with the code below and was not successful.

$honesty_statement = _WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, '//*[@id="claimHonestyStatementAgreement"]',5000,8000)

Actually, it looks like the code ran just fine. You just didn't get the outcome that you wanted. 😉 I'm sure there's a way to automate it. Unfortunately, I don't know how I can help without more info. Maybe you could find another website that exhibits the same behavior or another page on the UPS site that I could access.

@Danp2

Thank you for the response and the hint on where to look.....I searched for "error":"element click intercepted" and found another post that you offered advice on, and it worked in my case.

[Danp2]

@NSearch Glad you found a solution. You may want to provide a link back to the other post in case others run into the same issue.

Maybe I'm missing something, but is the (current ?) WebDriver-0.5.0.1.zip lacking the associated .chm file ?
