WebDriver UDF - Help & Support (IV)

[iSan]

Really thank to @SOLVE-SMART and @Danp2 are trying to help me. I show more of the DOM, because this web need Login so i can not share.

- I try to SetInputValue in the <input id="ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_form_ngay_lct"> contains special characters in datatype: <value="  /  /    "> it's date type, and default <text="04/01/2023"> . Firstly, i do clearring the <input> with _WD_ClearElement but it does not work. Then i use _WD_SetInputValue, my input value : 05052022, default="04/01/2023", it changes to "04/05/0520". I think ElementAction(...,'value') does click on midle of Element then put value. Is there any way to setvalue from left of Element? I don't know my explanation is hard to understand for you guys but i started fell hesitate because asking many times for a problem 😕

<td id="ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender0_formCell_1.15" nowrap="" style="overflow:hidden;width:100%;padding:4px!important;" colspan="1" class="FormCell Required ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender">
  <div style="width:100%;overflow:hidden;vertical-align:middle;" class="FormContainer FormContainerInput ">
    <input id="ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_form_ngay_lct" onfocus="$df.focus(this);" onblur="$df.blur(this);" onkeypress="$df.keypress(event, this, 'ngay_lct');" style="text-align: left; width: 77px;" ondrop="return false" spellcheck="false" autocomplete="off" class="FormInput FormTextInput" type="text" value="  /  /    " oncontextmenu="$func.showContextMenu(event, this, 'v', false);return false;" text="04/01/2023">
  </div>
</td>

Lack of error checking. You should check the result of _WD_WaitElement before blindly continuing to call additional functions.

- Tobe honest, i'm not a coder and noob in Autoit, use Autoit to support my office job. I never put a check Error in my other script 😐 Help me a code Check if @Error then stop scrip, not Exit

Your code is inefficient because it requires you to call _WD_WaitElement multiple times for the same xpath

- I only call _WD_WaitElement twice, not much so i think that is not the concern.

_WD_ClearElement($sSession, "//input[@id='ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_form_ngay_lct']") 
   Sleep(300)
_WD_SetInputValue($sSession, "//input[@id='ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_form_ngay_lct']", '05052022') 
   Sleep(100)
   
Func _WD_SetInputValue($sSession, $xPath, $Value)
   $Element = _WD_WaitElement($sSession, 'xpath', $xPath, 100, 100)
   _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $Element, 'value', $Value)
EndFunc

Func _WD_ClickElement($sSession, $xPath)
   $Element = _WD_WaitElement($sSession, 'xpath', $xPath, 100, 100)
   _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $Element, 'Click')
EndFunc

Func _WD_ClearElement($sSession, $xPath)
   $Element = _WD_WaitElement($sSession, 'xpath', $xPath, 100, 100)
   _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $Element, 'Clear')
EndFunc

See _WD_LinkClickByText for an example of how to check for error after calling _WD_FindElement. Notice that it only proceeds with calling _WD_ElementAction if no error has occurred.

Imagine doing this for lots of elements. It could make your script take twice as long to execute.

Unfortunately, this doesn't help in this instance. Can you show us the results from plugging the URL into this link? That may help identify the framework being used. Another option is to use _WD_SetElementValue instead of _WD_ElementAction. Try changing the line --

   _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $Element, 'value', $Value)

to

_WD_SetElementValue($sSession, $Element, $Value, $_WD_OPTION_Advanced)

I am having a problem with one of the servers I am on. I can't seem to figure out the problem.

It is working on 2 other identical servers. However, it will not work on my third. So something is difrent. I am just not sure what.

Chrome will not open. I have had this problem in the past, but it always seemed to be because I had the wrong version of chrome driver. However, I know I have the right version.

Not really sure on how to read much of the chrome log. However, I did find this at the bottom.

[1673039187.542][INFO]: [ec9653b0e61c705758686b9f1074c830] RESPONSE InitSession ERROR unknown error: cannot create temp dir for unpacking extensions

I tried creating a folder inside my temp account and switching my environment variables. It diden't work though. 

[SOLVE-SMART]

Hi @SkysLastChance,

hmm, an 500 Internal Server Error is quite annoying, I know.

Is your Webdriver log level (debug) set to full?

$_WD_DEBUG = $_WD_DEBUG_Full

Maybe you can get more information from the Webdriver, but I guess not 😔 .

Please ensure that your Chrome is really the expected and correct one. I saw you wrote it, but when you call _WD_UpdateDriver() with the $bForce parameter, does it change in any aspect?

Did you tried it with firefox? In case you get the same result, it's more clear it's not the fault of Webdriver as you already assumed too, by your "temp dir" actions.

Besides that I would check the event log or similar to get a glue about a possible different setting of the three server. Best of luck 🤞 .

Best regards
Sven

You should update both of these.

Enter the following from the Windows' command prompt --

echo %temp%

Make sure that it points to a directory that exists.

[SkysLastChance]

 

echo %temp% showed my problem it had a "2" folder it was trying to post into. I created the folder in the directory and Bingo.

FYI, I wrote a function to handle this when I was previously working on the webdriver BiDi implementation. I just submitted this PR, which adds _WD_GetFreePort to wd_helper. Feel free to test and provide feedback. Also, do you think it would be good to have it default to a predefined range if the min/max values aren't supplied?

Edit: This has been merged into the main branch and will be included in the next release.

I try to get how many line/row in a table. Firstly, i use _WD_GetTable.

My code:

$aTable = _WD_GetTable($sSession, '//table[@id="ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_FormGridd98_formExtenderPKOrderForm_FormGridd101_gridTable"]')
   _ArrayDisplay($aTable)

My element:

<table id="ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_FormGridd98_gridTable" class="GridTable" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

From Consol:

__WD_Post ==> No match [8] : HTTP status = 404
_WD_FindElement ==> No match [8] : Parameters:   Strategy=xpath   Selector=//table[@id="ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_FormGridd98_formExtenderPKOrderForm_FormGridd101_gridTable"]   StartNodeID=Default   Multiple=Default   ShadowRoot=Default
_WD_GetTable ==> No match [8]

The question is: 

; Parameters ....: $sSession     - Session ID from _WD_CreateSession
;                  $sBaseElement - XPath of the table to return

is $sBaseElement = '//table[@id="ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_FormGridd98_formExtenderPKOrderForm_FormGridd101_gridTable"] '

i'm i right?

Edited January 8, 2023 by iSan

[Danp2]

@iSanYes.. I can only assume that your xpath is wrong since the attempt to locate the table fails. Of course, it could be a more complex issue such as frames.

[iSan]

So, any other way to get how many line/row in a table? Tryed FindElement with "//tr" but there are so many //tr in the web

[Danp2]

@iSanYou could use the $sStartNodeID parameter of _WD_FindElement, which would allow you to retrieve only elements associated with the designated starting node. However, this would still require you to resolve the issue we discussed above where the table can't be located.

A better option would be to learn to use the browser's Dev Tools. Being proficient with them and you can more easily determine things like xpath, frame usage, etc.

[iSan]

Yea, i think for this web, we can't locate Table.

I have Element of first Line in this table:

<tr id="ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_FormGridd98_gridRow1" class="RowCellDefault" onmouseover="Sys.UI.DomElement.addCssClass(this, &quot;Highlight&quot;);$find(&quot;ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_FormGridd98&quot;)._highlightItem(this, 0);" onmouseout="Sys.UI.DomElement.removeCssClass(this, &quot;Highlight&quot;);$find(&quot;ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_FormGridd98&quot;)._highlightItem(this, 1);">...</tr>

You can see the first id="ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_FormGridd98_gridRow1" 

So, id of lines in this table are numbered in sequence, any way to solve it?

Quote

start with: _WD_FrameList()

@mLipok i will take a look at this.

Edited January 8, 2023 by iSan

[SOLVE-SMART]

Hi @iSan,

I thought we already discussed this and solve it too, regarding counting table row elements 🧐 ?!
Please see this post.

Again:

Global Const $sSelector = '//table[@id="ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_FormGridd98_gridTable"]//tr'

MsgBox('', 'Count of found elements', _GetElementsCount($sSelector))

Func _FindElements($sSelector)
    Return _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $sSelector, Default, True)
EndFunc

Func _GetElementsCount($sSelector)
    Return UBound(_FindElements($sSelector))
EndFunc

This should work if your posted table element ID is correct.

Best regards
Sven

Looking at this again, the element ID you used in the xpath in _WD_GetTable is different from the element ID shown for the table above. This would explain why it wasn't found. 🙄

[SOLVE-SMART]

Hi @Danp2,

yes, exactly 👍 . That's why I provided the "correct" ID in my post above. But still, it's pure guessing until @iSan try to help us with proper information and following some recommendation of how to post your problem 🤨 .

@Danp2 My bad. I tryed some other ID,that was the last ID i changed, i did that many times until i get stuck, then i put that ID  in my question without checking.

@SOLVE-SMARTGreatful that FindElement with that id success, but only return 1 value.

'//table[@id="ctl00_FastBusiness_MainReport_dirExtender_FormGridd98_gridTable"]//tr'

And i saw in Func _WD_GetTable of wd_helper.au3 that the id of extended xpath lack a / before tbody and tr right?

$aElements = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $sBaseElement & "/tbody/tr", "", True) 
; Retrieve the number of table rows
