The reason for this is because the element to which you have referred is removed from the DOM structure I was facing the same problem while working with IEDriver. The reason was because javascript loaded the element one more time after i have referred so my date … Read more
To invoke Firefox Browser headlessly, you can set the headless property through Options() class as follows: from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options options = Options() options.headless = True driver = webdriver.Firefox(options=options, executable_path=r’C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\geckodriver.exe’) driver.get(“http://google.com/”) print (“Headless Firefox Initialized”) driver.quit() There’s another way to accomplish headless mode. If you need to disable or enable the … Read more
In Java or JavaScript: driver.navigate().refresh(); This should refresh page.
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()
driver.find_element_by_id(‘foo’).clear()
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
Using the solution provided by Mike Kwan may have an impact in overall testing performance, since the implicit wait will be used in all FindElement calls. Many times you’ll want the FindElement to fail right away when an element is not present (you’re testing for a malformed page, missing elements, etc.). With the implicit wait … Read more
If you are using Selenium web driver with Python, you can use PyVirtualDisplay, a Python wrapper for Xvfb and Xephyr. PyVirtualDisplay needs Xvfb as a dependency. On Ubuntu, first install Xvfb: sudo apt-get install xvfb Then install PyVirtualDisplay from PyPI: pip install pyvirtualdisplay Sample Selenium script in Python in a headless mode with PyVirtualDisplay: #!/usr/bin/env … Read more
You can use driver.execute_script(“window.scrollTo(0, Y)”) where Y is the height (on a fullhd monitor it’s 1080). (Thanks to @lukeis) You can also use driver.execute_script(“window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);”) to scroll to the bottom of the page. If you want to scroll to a page with infinite loading, like social network ones, facebook etc. (thanks to @Cuong Tran) SCROLL_PAUSE_TIME … Read more
Chrome This can be achieved by three different approaches (see my blog article here for more details): Search in Elements panel like below Execute $x() and $$() in Console panel, as shown in Lawrence’s answer Third party extensions (not really necessary in most of the cases, could be an overkill) Here is how you search … Read more
