I am attempting to automate a web application using the InternetExplorer driver in Python Selenium Webdriver. The web app indicates that it is fetching results by displaying a 'transitory' DIV, which contains a spinning circle icon.
So, if I automate searching for an item in the web application, as soon as I fire a click on the search button, the DIV becomes visible, then disappears when the results have been returned.
I know the class of the DIV ('loading-indicator'), I'm wondering if there is a way through Python Selenium to test for the DIV becoming visible, then test for the DIV becoming invisible as a way of then firing follow-on activity?
You could easily do it with is_displayed method :
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('yourPage.html')
element = driver.find_element_by_class('loading-indicator') #this element is visible
if element.is_displayed():
print "Spinning and spinning and spinning"
else:
print "Nothing spinning here"

I am trying to get data from a webpage (https://www.educacion.gob.es/teseo/irGestionarConsulta.do). It has a captcha at the entry which I manually solve and move to the results page.
It happens that going back from the results page to the entry page does not modify the captcha if I reach the initial page with the "go back" button of the browser; but if I use the driver.back() instruction of Selenium's WebDriver, sometimes the captcha is modified - which I'd better avoid.
Clearly: I want to get access from Selenium to the DOM window (the browser), rather than to the document (or any element within the html) and send the ALT+ARROW_LEFT keys to the browser (the window).
This, apparently, cannot be done with:
from selenium.webdriver import Firefox
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = Firefox()
driver.get(url)
xpath = ???
driver.find_element_by_xpath(xpath).send_keys(Keys.ALT, Keys.ARROW_LEFT)
because send_keys connects to the element on focus, and my target is the DOM window, not any particular element of the document.
I have also tried with ActionChains:
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
action = ActionChains(driver)
action.key_down(Keys.LEFT_ALT).key_down(Keys.ARROW_LEFT).send_keys().key_up(Keys.LEFT_ALT).key_up(Keys.ARROW_LEFT)
action.perform()
This also does not work (I have tried with several combinations). The documentation states that key_down/up require an element to send keys, which if None (the default) is the current focused element. So again here, there is the issue of how to focus on the window (the browser).
I have thought about using the mouse controls, but I assume it will be the same: I know how to make the mouse reach any element in the document, but I want to reach the window/browser.
I have thought of identifying the target element through the driver.current_window_handle, but also fruitlessly.
Can this be done from Selenium? If so, how? Can other libraries do it, perhaps pyppeteer or playwright?
Try with JavaScriptExecutor - driver.execute_script("window.history.go(-1)")
I wanted to scroll down in an element, where the scrollbar doesnt have a tag/element. I did quite a few research on this but i couldnt find anything for that specific case. Im using Selenium for Python
We are talking about the Site "www.swap.gg", its a site for csgo skins, and in order to load every item from the bot, you need to scroll down in the element "Bot inventory". The Site looks like this when using F12 in browser it looks like this The respective element
There is no key which you can use to scroll down there, therefore the .send_keys() command doesnt work by any chance. I also tried the touchactions.scroll_from_element(element,xoffset,yoffset) but didn't have any luck either. Im using Firefox as a webdriver incase that matters.
The xpath of the element is "/html/body/div/div1/section1/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/div[2]"
The CSS selector is "div.is-paddingless:nth-child(3)"
Any ideas?
Find the parent div
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div/div[1]/section[1]/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/div[2]')
Scroll down to trigger the reload
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollBy(0, 500)", element)
import selenium
import selenium.webdriver
import time
driver = selenium.webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://swap.gg/')
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div/div[1]/section[1]/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/div[2]')
for i in range(20):
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollBy(0, 500)", element)
time.sleep(2)
I am simply trying to open a web page through selenium web-driver. Clicks a button on it, interacts with some elements on second page.. etc..
I heard that selenium is best to work with python for this specified purpose so I wrote my code in it which works very fine at once. But gradually day after day the code which was working absolutely fine before ..just stopped working. Stopped interacting with page elements. Every time throw different errors. I am sick of this selenium behavior. Do anyone know why such so happens? Or can u suggest any good alternatives?
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(url)
driver.implicitly_wait(50)
cookie = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'Decline')]")
cookie[0].click()
buttons = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'Search')]")
buttons[0].click()
driver.implicitly_wait(50)
close = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("button.close")
close[0].click()
parent = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("job-info")
for link in parent[:19]:
links = link.find_elements_by_tag_name('a')
hyperlink = random.choice(links)
driver.implicitly_wait(150)
driver.find_element_by_link_text(hyperlink.text).click()
driver.close()
I have created the following simple selenium test in order to start a browser, navigate to the google main page and to insert some text in the search box:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.google.com')
elem = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//input') # Find the search box
elem.send_keys('do a test search' + Keys.RETURN)
However, I get the following error in the send_keys line:
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: Element is not visible
Maybe this is a bad way to select the prominent input box on the google page? How to do it better?
(Remark: This is just supposed to be a simple setup to get selenium going. The system under test will be a different webpage, but I just want to make sure it works in this simple case...)
There are couple of hidden input elements located before search input field.
browser.find_element_by_xpath('//input') means return FIRST "input" node in DOM. That's why your elem is actually hidden node and not interactable.
Try below instead
elem = browser.find_element_by_name("q")
I'm trying to automate our system with Python2.7, Selenium-webdriver, and Sikuli. I have a problem on login. Every time I open our system, the first page is an empty page, and it will jump to another page automatically; the new page is the main login page, so Python is always trying to find the element from the first page. The first page sometimes shows:
your session has timeout
I set a really large number for session timeout, but it doesn't work.
Here is my code:
import requests
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('http://172.16.1.186:8080/C******E/servlet/LOGON')
# time.sleep(15)
bankid = driver.find_element_by_id("idBANK")
bankid.send_keys(01)
empid = driver.find_element_by_id("idEMPLOYEE")
empid.send_keys(200010)
pwdid = driver.fin`enter code here`d_element_by_id("idPASSWORD")
pwdid.send_keys("C******e1")
elem = driver.find_element_by_id("maint")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
First of all, I can't see any Sikuli usage in your example. If you were using Sikuli, it wouldn't matter how the other page was launched as you'd be interacting with whatever is visible on your screen at that time.
In Selenium, if you have multiple windows you have to switch your driver to the correct one. A quick way to get a list of the available windows is something like this:
for handle in driver.window_handles:
driver.switch_to_window(handle);
print "Switched to handle:", handle
element = browser.find_element_by_tag_name("title")
print element.get_attribute("value")
