Hi Guys,

First of all thank you both for your quick replies, I can actually say that we already have a winner !

did you try this:

Unfortunately this did not work, luckily I was close to default settings so no harm done 😅

Check your environmental settings that control the location of temporary files (%temp% and %tmp%), and update them to reflect a location that doesn't require Admin privileges.

Edit: Suggest that you review this prior thread.

Well next time, just stick to your guns. Moving the include folder, by amending the register to reflect a folder in "my documents" has it running no problem at all!

Just one last question, will this change be reflected in an error if I try to run the script on another machine? I don't expect it will, however prefer to be thorough before proceeding. 

Thank you both so much!

I'm unsure how moving a folder would resolve this problem, but I'm glad you found a solution. You may want to elaborate on the changes you made so that we can better understand.

@mLipok i realy do not think that google is crawling the web in a headless browser, if he is then he would not need site map to help him navigate.

Hello Everyone!

Been a bit since I've posted on here but I have come across an issue that I could just be overlooking and cannot get past. I work for a local government agency so I cannot share too much information, which I know isn't ideal and can probably make it so I can't be helped, but I will try to share as much as I can.

I keep getting an error when trying to enter an iFrame that was working for months. This morning the website I am automating updated it's URL, so I am going step by step making sure all the xPath's and elements haven't changed as well. Turns out 99% of it is still the same.

When I get to my step of entering an iFrame using FrameEnter, it throws an error every time, even though the iFrame xpath didn't change at all in the html.

This is the iFrame element:

<iframe allow="geolocation *; microphone *; camera *" frameborder="0" height="500px" id="j_id9" name="j_id9" src="https://dmahs-nj.my.site.com/admintool/AVS_REPORT?RequestID=1098578" title="Content" width="1200px"></iframe>

This is the iFrame's Xpath:

//*[@id="j_id9"]

This is the snippet of the code:

;Locate iFRAME and enter it
    _WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//*[@id='j_id9']",0,10000)
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0, "iFrame Error", "WaitElement for iFrame Error")
        Exit
    EndIf
    Sleep(2000) ;2 second sleep is only here for testing
    $sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//*[@id='j_id9']")
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0, "iFrame Error", "FindElement iFrame Error"&@CRLF&@error)
        Exit
    EndIf
    Sleep(2000) ;2 second sleep is only here for testing
    _WD_FrameEnter($sSession,$sElement)
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0, "iFrame Error", "FrameEnter iFrame Error"&@CRLF&@error&@CRLF&$sElement)
        Exit
    EndIf

This is console output:

_WD_WaitElement ==> Success [0] : Parameters:   Strategy=xpath   Selector=//*[@id='j_id9']   Delay=0   Timeout=10000   Options=Default
__WD_Post ==> Success [0] : HTTP status = 200
_WD_FindElement ==> Success [0] : Parameters:   Strategy=xpath   Selector=//*[@id='j_id9']   StartNodeID=Default   Multiple=Default   ShadowRoot=Default
_WD_FrameEnter ==> Invalid argument [5] : Parameters:    Identifier=C2121657FAA2FC7757E94F6A9B188BB8_element_113
+>09:05:39 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:0
+>09:05:39 AutoIt3Wrapper Finished.
>Exit code: 0    Time: 55.9

What I've never had happen before is WaitElement see's it, FindElement get's it but for some reason FrameEnter is the only one having issues with it. Has anyone else run into this?

Thanks in advance and I know it may not get far with limited information.

Did you notice new awesome function related to frames ?

Check the udf and demo again.

@Davidowicza Updating to the most recent release of the udf should resolve the issue you describe.

[mLipok]

Thank you both so much! Updating the UDF did the trick.

I updated it about 2 months ago and I don't know why it didn't occur to me to do that this time 🤦‍♂️

Hi all,
This is from my web

<table id="ctl00_BodyContent_ASPxCallbackPanel1_radConsent" border="0" style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:Smaller;height:16px;width:100px;">
            <tbody><tr>
                <td xpath="1"><input id="ctl00_BodyContent_ASPxCallbackPanel1_radConsent_0" type="radio" name="ctl00$BodyContent$ASPxCallbackPanel1$radConsent" value="Y" tabindex="48"><label for="ctl00_BodyContent_ASPxCallbackPanel1_radConsent_0">Yes</label></td><td><input id="ctl00_BodyContent_ASPxCallbackPanel1_radConsent_1" type="radio" name="ctl00$BodyContent$ASPxCallbackPanel1$radConsent" value="N" tabindex="48"><label for="ctl00_BodyContent_ASPxCallbackPanel1_radConsent_1">No</label></td>
            </tr>
        </tbody></table>


The below is my code 

    Local $PConsent = _WD_FindElement($oChrome, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath,"//input[@id='ctl00_BodyContent_ASPxCallbackPanel1_radConsent_0']")
    _WD_ElementAction($oChrome, $PConsent, 'click')

and here is the error: 

_WD_FindElement ==> Success [0] : Parameters:   Strategy=xpath   Selector=//input[@id='ctl00_BodyContent_ASPxCallbackPanel1_radConsent_0']   StartNodeID=Default   Multiple=Default   ShadowRoot=Default
__WD_Post ==> Element interaction issue [14] : HTTP status = 400
_WD_ElementAction ==> Element interaction issue [14] : Parameters:   Command=click   Option=Default

I am not sure why I cannot be able to click this Radio button no matter how I tried it. I even used this :

    $sButton=$PConsent
    ;Triple Click command
    $sAction  = '{"actions":[{"id":"default mouse","type":"pointer","parameters":{"pointerType":"mouse"},"actions":[{"duration":100,"x":0,"y":0,"type":"pointerMove","origin":{"ELEMENT":"'
    $sAction &= $sButton & '","' & $_WD_ELEMENT_ID & '":"' & $sButton & '"}},{"button":0,"type":"pointerDown"},{"button":0,"type":"pointerUp"},{"button":0,"type":"pointerDown"},{"button":0,"type":"pointerUp"},{"button":0,"type":"pointerDown"},{"button":0,"type":"pointerUp"}]}]}'

    ;Use _WD_Action to send the triple click command
    _WD_Action($oChrome, "actions", $sAction)
    
    but still no luck. 
    
    Do you have any suggestion to solve this issue?

 

[Danp2]

@PnD You should try using _WD_ElementActionEx with the Check / Uncheck options.

Thank you Dan! It works beautifully with your solution.

When I run the following script on just one item (file attached) in the array:

For $i = 1 To 1 ;UBound($urlsArray) - 1

it works fine but when I try to run it for the whole array:

For $i = 1 To UBound($urlsArray) - 1

it dosen't work seems to do with _WD_Navigate not getting the next session.  What I'm I doing wrong .

Thanks for any help.

Joe

 

SetupGecko()
_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)

$urlsArray = FileReadToArray($processing & 'ecjurls.txt')
For $i = 1 To UBound($urlsArray) - 1
    $urlsArray[$i] = StringReplace($urlsArray[$i], '"', '%22')
    $urlsArray[$i] = StringRegExpReplace($urlsArray[$i], '^.*?#\{(.*?)$', 'http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/#{%22tabview%22:[%22document%22],$1')
    ConsoleWrite($urlsArray[$i] & @CRLF)
    _WD_Navigate($sSession, $urlsArray[$i])
    _WD_LoadWait($sSession, 5000, 15000)
    _WD_GetElementById($sSession, "results-list")
    $sHTML2 = _WD_GetSource($sSession)
    $file1 = FileOpen($out & $i & ".html", 258)
    If $file1 = -1 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file:    " & $out & "ECHR_" & $i & ".html")
        Exit
    EndIf
    FileWrite($file1, $sHTML2)
    FileClose($file1)
Next
_WD_DeleteSession($sSession)
_WD_Shutdown()

Why you start from 1 instead 0 ?

It all works ok but it downloads just the first item three times (or two if I start with 1.   Sorry &processing is my directory I use for such things and ecjurls.txt is located there.

[Danp2]

@Jury The target URLs are all viewed as identical, so not further navigation takes place following the initial one. You can confirm this yourself by manually testing with your browser. To fix this, you can modify the URL so that the browser thinks it's unique. For example, add this line before the navigation occurs --

$urlsArray[$i] = StringReplace($urlsArray[$i], '/#', '/?dummy=' & $i & '#')

P.S. This line isn't doing anything in your script since you don't check the result --

_WD_GetElementById($sSession, "results-list")

@Danp2 and @mLipok, I am always grateful to you for maintaining and improving this wonderful tool. I just read about Chrome for Testing and I wonder if it would have any bearing on our use of webdriver.

 

[Danp2]

@CYCho I haven't tried CFT yet, but you should be able to use it instead of standard Chrome if you desire. There will be an update to the UDF this month to account for the new download site for Chromedriver.

[mLipok]

I notice that in some cases when Browser (in my case GoogleChrome) is loading

 

very often my app going to hung mode and is not able to interact with user.

Of course I use _WD_Sleep() so It should be interactable, but maybe something in winhttp.au3 or even deeply in "driver.exe" (chromedriver.exe)  or is it related to browser ?

Any opinion in this regards ?
