selector is correct... website shows errors ??

[rs007]

I have a problem where I can't get any further.
It changed the site that I automated with Webdriver for Firefox.

This is from the site BEFORE it was changed. I found this on my PC:

<input class="continue_submit" id="formsubmit" type="submit" value="Weiter">

... everything has worked so far. Ultimately it's just a 'click' on a button called 'Continue'

This is how it was solved:

i_ClickElement("//input[@id='formsubmit']"

Func i_ClickElement($sSelector, $sMessage = '')
    i_WaitFor($sSelector)
    _WD_ElementAction($sSession, i_FindElement($sSelector, $sMessage), 'click')
EndFunc

Func i_WaitFor($sSelector)
    Local Const $iTimeoutInMilliseconds = 2000
    Local Const $iElementVisibleFlag    = 1

    _WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $sSelector, 2000, $iTimeoutInMilliseconds, $iElementVisibleFlag)
EndFunc

Func i_FindElement($sSelector, $sMessage = '')
    Local $sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $sSelector)
    If @error <> $_WD_ERROR_Success Then
        ConsoleWrite($sMessage & ' ==> Error for XPath selector ''' & $sSelector & '''.' & @CRLF)
        _WD_DeleteSession($sSession)
        _WD_Shutdown()
        Exit
    EndIf

    Return $sElement
EndFunc

...everything's great...everything's good!

Now the site has been changed and it no longer works...
This is from the site AFTER it was changed:

<input class="continue_submit" id="formsubmit" accesskey="z" value="Weiter" type="submit" tabindex="2">

... and it doesn't work anymore. Unfortunately the output does not provide an error message!!

The result from the Webdriver window is:

_WD_ElementAction ==> Success [0] : Parameters:   Command=click   Option=Default
_WD_WaitElement ==> Success [0] : Parameters:   Strategy=xpath   Selector=//input[@id='formsubmit']   Delay=750   Timeout=1200   Options=1
__WD_Post ==> Success [0] : HTTP status = 200
_WD_FindElement ==> Success [0] : Parameters:   Strategy=xpath   Selector=//input[@id='formsubmit']   StartNodeID=Default   Multiple=Default   ShadowRoot=Default
__WD_Post ==> Success [0] : HTTP status = 200
_WD_ElementAction ==> Success [0] : Parameters:   Command=click   Option=Default

What's missing here is this line:

__WD_Post ==> Success [0] : HTTP status = 200

... the website gives me an error message: "Action not possible."

How does the selector have to be defined so that it works again?

Info... if I click through the website manually, the 'click' on the <Continue> button is accepted and the website works as usual... i.e. without an error message.

and: unfortunately this doesn't work either... I get the same error message

_WD_Action($sSession, 'actions', '{"actions": [{"type": "key", "id": "keyboard", "actions": [{"type": "keyDown", "value": "\uE006"}, {"type": "keyUp", "value": "\uE006"}]}]}')
    _WD_Action($sSession, 'actions', '{"actions": [{"type": "key", "id": "keyboard", "actions": [{"type": "keyDown", "value": "\uE007"}, {"type": "keyUp", "value": "\uE007"}]}]}')

It's likely that there are more than one elements matching your selector. First step is to confirm that is true. Then adjust your selector so that the correct one is found.

I've already done that... therye is only 1 hit to this selector...

 

Attached is the source code... line 640 contains what I described here

I can see some definite issues with the "wrapper" functions that you wrote. Beyond that, you should review the forum rules regarding gaming.

oh...sorry. I haven't read the rules - true...
