I have the following element:
<input type="hidden" data-dojo-attach-point="vn" value="adrija" aria-
hidden="true">
The above element is an element of dropdown and is hidden. The code that I have written is:
private WebElement adrija = Driver.driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#value='adrija' and #data-dojo-attach-point='vn']"));
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", adrija);
It says it's not able to find the element.
Please help. Thanks. :)
Use css selector
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[type='hidden']"))
Or xpath
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#type='hidden']"))
Note : the field has type hidden. You cannot do visible interaction like sendkeys or click as it is invisible
Selenium cannot work on the hidden elements. First, you need the click on the button which opens the drop-down menu. Then you do whatever you want. :).
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("XPATH"));
element.click();
WebElement childElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("HidenElementXpath"));
childElement.click();
If the hidden element is in a frame, you need to switch to the frame!!!
Then try to find the element

<div id="button" data-testid="widgetButton" class=" chat-closed mobile-size__large">
I have elements with a special character which the Webdriver can't locate.
I'm trying to click on an item, I've tried everything.
my last try:
wd.get(urlSubpage);
wd.findElement(By.cssSelector("[class='widgetLabel']"));
You can click with help of id with webdriver wait till element would be able to receive click.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 50);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("button-body")));
Click with JS
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("button-body"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
I want to click a button(to send a form)
<button class="form-button primary">Click here</button>
I find the element like this:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Click here')]")).click;
On chorme is working and sending the form but in IE11 is not(sending the form).
To be clear, in IE is finding the element(or an element). But probably is not the correct element.
Addition info:
This is the only button with this text
I can probably find other ways to get this element , but if I rework this path I will need to change all the paths similar to this.
Selenium version:3.14
IE webdriver :3.14
There are several different ways of clicking on something using selenium. I would try using either a javascript click or an action click.
Javascript click:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Click here')]"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
Action click:
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Click here')]"));
action.moveToElement(element).click().build().perform();
It's also possible that you are in the wrong frame while you are executing the click.
driver.switchTo.frame("Frame_ID");
You would be able to find the frame ID when you inspect the webpage.
If your usecase is to invoke click() you have to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
xpath using className and text:
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[#class='form-button primary' and text()='Click here']"))).click();
xpath using text:
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[text()='Click here']"))).click();
xpath using contains():
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[contains(., 'Click here')]"))).click();
I cant locate a button on dialog pages, I tried to use cssselectors, xpaths, but simple i cant locate buttons/texts on modal dialogs.
I attached a screenshot from the code.
What can you recommend?
Thank you!
By.xpath(".//button[.='/"Submit/"'])
or
By.xpath(".//button[#class='btn btn-default'])
If it found but click doesnt work try that javascript from other comment
I presume you are able to identify the element.However unable to click on that.
Try use following options.
Use WebDriverWait and elementToBeClickable to click on the element.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
WebElement elementBtn = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("div.modal-footer button.btn.btn-default")));
elementBtn.click();
Use Action class to click on the element.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
WebElement elementBtn = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("div.modal-footer button.btn.btn-default")));
Actions action=new Actions(driver);
action.moveToElement(elementBtn).click().build().perform();
Java Script Executor to click on the element.
JavascriptExecutor js= (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.modal-footer button.btn.btn-default")));
Note: If above all options doesn't work.Check if there any iframe avaialable.If so, you need to switch to iframe first.like below.
driver.switchTo().frame("framename"); //name of the iframe.
driver.switchTo().frame(0); //you can use index as well.
You could try this:
JavascriptExecutor js= (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
WebElement webElement=driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.modal-footer button.btn.btn-default"));
js.executeScript(“arguments[0].click()”, webElement);
Hope it helps.
Try the bellow xpath:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='modal-footer']//button[contains(#class,'btn-default')]")).click();
I am coding a selenium webdriver test in Java. I need the test to click on a "Yes" button in chrome that does not have an id or name.
I cannot find the element to click on the button that only has "Yes" as its unique identifier. There is also a "No" button.
I have tried to find the WebElement using xpath, classname and I have tried findElements function. Nothing succeeds.
This is the HTML:
<span class="ui-btn-inner">
<span class="ui-btn-text popup-anchor-text">Yes</span>
</span>
I have tried:
WebElement yesBtn = browser.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='ui-btn-text popup-anchor-text']/span"));
WebElement yesBtn = browser.findElement(By.xpath("//span[.='Yes']"));
WebElement yesBtn = browser.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(text(), 'Yes')]"));
WebElement yesBtn = browser.findElement(By.xpath("//button[#class='ui-btn-text popup-anchor-text' and span='Yes']"));
WebElement yesBtn = browser.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='ui-btn-text popup-anchor-text' and span='Yes']"));
yesBtn.click();
List<WebElement> yesBtn = browser.findElements(By.className("ui-btn ui-shadow ui-btn-corner-all ui-btn-up-a"));
yesBtn.get(0).click();
Error message:
NoSuchElementException; no such element. Unable to locate element.
The correct XPath locator would be:
//span[text()='Yes']
Just in case you can go for normalize-space() function:
//span[normalize-space()='Yes']
If this doesn't help:
Make sure that the span doesn't belong to an iframe, otherwise you will have to switch to the iframe before attempting to locate the element.
driver.switchTo().frame("your-frame");
Make sure to use WebDriverWait class just in case the element is not immediately available so WebDriver would perform several find attempts with polling interval
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//span[text()='Yes']")));
Try out //span[#class='ui-btn-inner']/descendant::span[contains(text(), 'Yes')]. It should help out.
When I am trying to execute below code its giving me exception as:-org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: element not visible
WebElement elem = newDriver.findElement(By.name("loginId"));
elem.get(0).clear();
elem.get(0).sendKeys("asd");
even though element is present.
For more details see the below image.
I am trying to access input box below account label but its giving me exception as element is not visible.
I already used Actions tag and JavascriptExecutor
Any suggestions.
The interested element is inside an iframe:
So, before, you have to switch to the iframe:
WebElement iframe= driver.findElement(By.id("alibaba-login-box"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iframe);
If you want to go "out" the iframe:
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
The entire code:
WebElement iframe= driver.findElement(By.id("alibaba-login-box"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iframe);
WebElement elem = driver.findElement(By.id("fm-login-id"));
elem.clear();
elem.sendKeys("asd");
//when you want to return to the defaultContent
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
