You could alternatively do: driver.findElements(By.id(“…”)).size() != 0 Which saves the nasty try/catch P.S.: Or more precisely by @JanHrcek here !driver.findElements(By.id(“…”)).isEmpty()
Use findElements instead of findElement. findElements will return an empty list if no matching elements are found instead of an exception. To check that an element is present, you could try this Boolean isPresent = driver.findElements(By.yourLocator).size() > 0 This will return true if at least one element is found and false if it does not … Read more
Try element.getAttribute(“value”) The text property is for text within the tags of an element. For input elements, the displayed text is not wrapped by the <input> tag, instead it’s inside the value attribute. Note: Case matters. If you specify “Value”, you’ll get a ‘null’ value back. This is true for C# at least.
Its not really possible to perform a ‘mouse hover’ action, instead you need to chain all of the actions that you want to achieve in one go. So move to the element that reveals the others, then during the same chain, move to the now revealed element and click on it. When using Action Chains … Read more
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize(); This works for IE and Firefox. Chrome does not work. There is a bug submitted for this on ChromeDriver project. Meanwhile, the get around for the chrome is to implement what Joey V. and Coder323 suggested. ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.addArgument(“–start-maximized”); driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Yes, if you’re having problems with StaleElementReferenceExceptions it’s because there is a race condition. Consider the following scenario: WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id(“foo”)); // DOM changes – page is refreshed, or element is removed and re-added element.click(); Now at the point where you’re clicking the element, the element reference is no longer valid. It’s close to … Read more
I solved these kinds of problems using the webdrive manager. You can automatically use the correct chromedriver by using the webdrive-manager. Install the webdrive-manager: pip install webdriver-manager Then use the driver in python as follows from selenium import webdriver from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install()) This answer is taken from https://stackoverflow.com/a/52878725/10741023
Contrarily to what the currently accepted answer suggests, there’s nothing specific to PhantomJS when it comes to the difference between having WebDriver do a click and doing it in JavaScript. The Difference The essential difference between the two methods is common to all browsers and can be explained pretty simply: WebDriver: When WebDriver does the … Read more
You need to download the executable driver from: ChromeDriver Download Then use the following before creating the driver object (already shown in the correct order): System.setProperty(“webdriver.chrome.driver”, “/path/to/chromedriver”); WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); This was extracted from the most useful guide from the ChromeDriver Documentation.
This is a duplicate answer **Reconnect to a driver in python selenium ** This is applicable on all drivers and for java api. open a driver driver = webdriver.Firefox() #python extract to session_id and _url from driver object. url = driver.command_executor._url #”http://127.0.0.1:60622/hub” session_id = driver.session_id #’4e167f26-dc1d-4f51-a207-f761eaf73c31′ Use these two parameter to connect to your driver. … Read more
