Selenium - WebDriver not recognizing elements but IDE recognizes same elements - java

I am working on a sample assignment on Thomson Holidays website (http://www.thomson.co.uk/holidays.html). On left hand side there is a Holiday Search panel. I am unable to recognize any of these elements in WebDriver. However, in IDE these elements are recognized. Need more info on this as it is the first time i am experiencing such an issue. Below is the code sample:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("http://www.thomson.co.uk/holidays.html");
driver.findElement(By.id("searchbutton")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("holidayAttribute_1")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("holidayAttribute_2")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("holidayAttribute_3")).click();
Thread.sleep(5000);

Because they're in the iframe, you need switch to the iframe first.
Two lines added to your existing code as follows:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("http://www.thomson.co.uk/holidays.html");
// optional, unnecessary in your case
// driver.switchTo().defaultContent(); // make sure outside of all iframes
// switch to search frame
WebElement searchFrame = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("iframe[src='/thomson/page/byo/search/usp.page']"));
driver.switchTo().frame(searchFrame);
driver.findElement(By.id("searchbutton")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("holidayAttribute_1")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("holidayAttribute_2")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("holidayAttribute_3")).click();

The search panel is inside an iframe. As the iframe is the first iframe, you can use the below code.
driver.get("http://www.thomson.co.uk/holidays.html");
// switch to search frame
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
driver.findElement(By.id("searchbutton")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("holidayAttribute_1")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("holidayAttribute_2")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("holidayAttribute_3")).click();

Not able to click on a button in selenium webdriver

webDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.ignitionone.com/company/careers/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
Thread.sleep(2000);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[1]/section[1]/div/div/a/button")).submit();
'View positions' button is not clicking with the above code.What is happening in the web page?
You see the HTML for this page is
So, you can use the CSS selector for this as
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.ignitionone.com/company/careers/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
Thread.sleep(2000);
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button.button.teal").click();
And then proceed with doing whatever is necessary. I executed with this in my Python code and it works fine.
Also, you will need to provide the Gecko executable path while calling for the FirefoxDriver()
The way I have done it before is to use the click handler.
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".profile-actions .primary_button > span")).click();
I'm sure you could also select the element by xpath rather than CSS in the above line. It's a similar question to this one.

Selenium getting text input of Twingly (Java Code)

Please check out the element of this website.
It has a form, and along with 2 text input and 1 submit button.
I dont know which one from those 2 inputs that is actually used when the user type-in some urls over there.
But when I tried this (using firefoxDriver) to get the element:
WebElement textfieldURL = driver.findElement(By.id("ping-url")); // even ping-box not working
The result's unable to locate the element.
Then I change my code to this :
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.className("ping-iframe")));
WebElement textfieldURL = driver.findElement(By.id("ping-url")); // even ping-box not working
The result's still unable to locate the element.
Any clues?
You haven't mentioned the exception which you are facing. As your input tag present under iframe so you need to first switch into frame and than have to perform actions -
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.className("ping-iframe")));
//or you can use frame index as well
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
your element is available with the id ping-box . Try the following complete code -
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","D:/Application/geckodriver.exe");
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://www.twingly.com/ping");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.className("ping-iframe")));
driver.findElement(By.id("ping-box")).sendKeys("http://www.google.com");
driver.findElement(By.id("ping-button")).click();
Same is working for me.

Xpath selector not working in IE but working fine in Chrome and Firefox

I am using following xpath to click on element using JSExecutor in Selenium webdriver. This works fine in Firefox and chrome but does not work in IE.
Any idea to make this work? After lot of trial and error I have made this work in FF and chrome and have come up with the following XPath.
//*[contains(#class,'ui-select-choices-row') or contains(#id,'ui-select-choices-row')]//*[text()='TextofMyElementToBeclicked'
Additional info: This is a Jquery drop down on an angularJS application. When the user clicks on the drop down //ul is loaded and i am using the above xpath (which is part of //ul) to select the element based on text (using Javascript executor click). I used JS executor because, click() function in selenium simply could not click on the drop down element.
I am clicking element using below.
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("YourNumbersXpath"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
enter code here
I successfully tested your XPath with IE11, so it's not an issue related to IE. It's most likely a timing issue. First click on the drop button, then wait for the targeted element to appear and finally click on it:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
driver.get("...");
// move the cursor to the menu Product
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("drop down button")).click();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("drop down item"))).click();
IE11 seems to struggle with contains(#class and possibly also the contains(#id. Try using alternative solutions like starts-with.

Upload file using selenium web driver

I have already check and search for same question and there are lot of solution but no one is working for me so posing question here.
I am doing practice of selenium web driver. I am using this form for practice : http://www.toolsqa.com/automation-practice-form/
Now , I have 3 issues in that.
1 - There are first 2 links called "Partial link test" & "List test" which I am able to click on, using "findelement", but I want to open both link in NEW TAB in same browser.
2 - I am not able to upload file. My code is not working for that element.
3 - How can I select particular value from dropdown of "Continents"??
My code is given below :
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.toolsqa.com/automation-practice-form/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
**driver.findElement(By.linkText("Partial Link Test")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Link Test")).click();**
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.name("firstname")).sendKeys("Tester");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.name("lastname")).sendKeys("Tester");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.id("sex-0")).click();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.id("exp-2")).click();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.id("datepicker")).sendKeys("01/01/1985");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.id("profession-1")).click();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
**driver.findElement(By.id("photo")).sendKeys("C:/Users/Public/Pictures/Sample Pictures/Desert.jpeg");**
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Thread.sleep(600);
driver.findElement(By.id("tool-0")).click();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
**driver.findElement(By.id("continents")).click();**
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Please help to correct my code.
I have added the answers inline to each of your questions, below. Also, an advice, is to use Implicit wait only once at the top while creating a browser instance, as its scope is the whole class itself. So, once declared, then selenium will wait a maximum of that time, for detecting an element. It can be rather overridden by using Explicit waits for certain elements, if necessary Please see this link for better understanding Implicit and Explicit waits:
1 - There are first 2 links called "Partial link test" & "List test" which I am able to click on, using "findelement", but I want to open both link in NEW TAB in same browser.
//Clicking and opening Partial Link Text in new tab
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Partial Link Test"));
Actions act = new Actions(driver);
act.contextClick(element).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ENTER).build().perform();
//Clicking and opening Link Text in new tab
element = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Link Test"));
act.contextClick(element).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ENTER).build().perform();
2 - I am not able to upload file. My code is not working for that element.
The path of the file must be like this:
driver.findElement(By.id("photo")).sendKeys("C:\\Users\\Public\\Pictures\\Sample Pictures\\Desert.jpg");
3 - How can I select particular value from dropdown of "Continents"??
You can use Select class for that like below. It will select the option "Australia".
Select sel = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("continents")));
sel.selectByVisibleText("Australia");
Open link in new Tab:
String selectLinkOpeninNewTab = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,Keys.RETURN);
driver.findElement(By.linkText("urlLink")).sendKeys(selectLinkOpeninNewTab);

Selenium Webdriver clickAndHold() error on Firefox

I try to select multiple options from list but it does not select particular option it select from first choose options to last choose option and give some error like:
Cannot perform native interaction: Could not get node for element - cannot interact
My code is looks like
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://jqueryui.com/selectable/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElements(By.tagName("iframe")).get(0));
WebElement multiSelectDropDown=driver.findElement(By.className("ui-selectable"));
List<WebElement> dropdownlists = multiSelectDropDown.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
Actions builder=new Actions(driver);
builder.clickAndHold(dropdownlists.get(0)).
clickAndHold(dropdownlists.get(4)).click()
.build().perform();
Can any one tell me why this is not working is there any problem in my code.
I think you need to change this
builder.clickAndHold(dropdownlists.get(0)).
clickAndHold(dropdownlists.get(4)).click()
.build().perform();
This should be looks like
builder.clickAndHold(dropdownlists.get(0)).moveToElement(dropdownlists.get(4)).
release().build().perform();
because in real world click the mouse and drag to the other element so moveto another element and then release the mouse.
