I am using Robot Framework with python. I have a page that has a web view. I am able to find the element through Appium inspector and also through the Chrome Dev tools. But those locators are not working. The test case passes but it does not click on that element.
Is there any work around for this issue?
Did you try the class name locator?
driver.find_element_by_class_name()

I'm currently looking for a way to run automated tests on my devtools browser extension.
The extension basically injects/run some code in the current page, and displays the results.
I found that I can access the devtools panel code using this url: devtools://devtools/bundled/js_app.html?ws=127.0.0.1:9222/devtools/page/2786924A6A07EBBC4FE18A07D9D37BD4
But, with this url, the extension doesn't have any attached context (devtools.inspectedWindow) and doesn't know where to inject the testing code.
Is there another way I can use to access both the page and the devtools panel at the same time?
Thanks
There is a button on a web page that makes an API call to third party application. And in return third-party application gets rendered on a web page.
Now, the third-party application (https://goknow.me/#/) is developed in flutter and I know nothing about flutter. I'm using java, selenium and webdriver for end to end testing. I'm using same set of tools for the rest of the application and it's working fine.
While inspecting in chrome, the DOM look like this:
Flutter application has a form and I want to find an element so that I can send inputs during testing automation. By searching online I found this appium-flutter-driver. I've also included the required jar in my project. With selenium webdriver I'm not able to find an element in flutter application that renders in Chrome browser on desktop.
Here's the code:
import pro.truongsinh.appium_flutter.FlutterFinder;
import pro.truongsinh.appium_flutter.finder.FlutterElement;
protected FlutterFinder find;
WebElement iframe = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//iframe[#id='know-iframe']"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iframe);
find = new FlutterFinder(driver);
FlutterElement elm = find.text("Email");
elm.click();
elm.sendKeys("hello world");
During testing automation I want to select fields in form and send inputs to those fields.
How to find an element in flutter web application that renders in another web application in Chrome browser on desktop?
Flutter Web is very different from normal web frameworks such as React or Vue. Looking at the official doc, it renders either into HTML elements (but still not the usual elements you see everyday), or directly draw onto a Canvas.
In addition, since it is a third-party app, it is mostly likely that you are not able to change their code. Thus, your appium-flutter-driver mostly will not work, because it says:
Under the hood, Appium Flutter Driver use the Dart VM Service Protocol with extension ext.flutter.driver, similar to Flutter Driver, to control the Flutter app-under-test (AUT).
You know, Dart VM service is only available when you run the Flutter app by source code in debug mode, or at least when you have control to the source code.
Therefore, my suggestion is: Can you treat the Flutter application as a "picture" instead of a DOM tree, and try to locate the buttons?
you can try using io.github.sukgu that helps you to work on the shadow elements. I was able to automate the scenario that you mentioned. Below is the detailed code.
Step 1 add the below dependency
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.github.sukgu/automation -->
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.sukgu</groupId>
<artifactId>automation</artifactId>
<version>0.1.3</version>
</dependency>
Step 2 use the below import in the test file
import io.github.sukgu.*;
Step 3 Below is the entire code that worked for me
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://goknow.me/#/");
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,20);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.id("know-iframe")));
Shadow shadow = new Shadow(driver);
WebElement emailField = shadow.findElement("input[id='email']");
emailField.sendKeys("hello world");
Flutter team recommends using Flutter for "app-centric experiences" as "Progressive Web Apps, Single Page Apps, Existing Flutter mobile apps", but Flutter web app can also be embedded in a iframe tag.
They say:
At this time, Flutter is not suitable for static websites with text-rich flow-based content. For example, blog articles benefit from the document-centric model that the web is built around, rather than the app-centric services that a UI framework like Flutter can deliver.
You can read more about how a Flutter web app is deployed here.
When a Flutter app is built for the web, the page is rendered in 2 ways:
HTML renderer (on mobile browsers)
CanvasKit renderer (on desktop browsers)
I hope now you know a little more about Flutter framework. π
I am trying to test a mobile app using robot framework, appium and eclipse as IDE. My app login has to be clicked using the elements class and content-desc but when I copy the content-desc I notice a special character (Log Inξ) which doesn't get saved in eclipse.
Please help me to find the x path using login or even without it.
PFA the screenshot of the elements at https://i.stack.imgur.com/XE3pg.png
In my case, special character was coming due to the icon associated with the text.
For Appium, it's better to use accessibility ids for finding the elements.
Hope this helps :)
I am using the Google Maps API in an Android project and now I need to test it using JUnit if possible. (I am somewhat new to both JUnit and Google Maps.) I have been scouring the internet but was unable to find anything.
The map view has dots/pins for stations and when I tap one I get a balloon popup with the name and other info. Then when I tap the balloon I get a new view with information about the location and actions to perform such as navigate.
What I want to know is, is it possible to write a JUnit test case that finds all these dots/pins, taps them, and verifies information on the new view that pops up? Additionally, I would like to change/mock the location that the GPS has and see what happens if I try to, say navigate overseas or something like that.
I do have a list view of the same locations which I will test as well, but I would like to know if there is a way to test the map view.
I would prefer an automated test script like what JUnit provides. If this is not possible with JUnit what is the best alternative?
I am working with Android 4.0 and using Eclipse.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In case anyone wants to know after much searching I finally found something that can test Google Maps. Things such as zoom level and I believe tap pin (method is called tapMapMarkerItem()) are supported. I have not tested the pin tap yet tho.
Apparently the awesome Robotium does not support map testing by itself. Nicholas Albion was nice enough to create an extension to provides testing support for maps on Android. Thank you so much Nicholas!
So here it is:
1. Download the Robotium jars from robotium.org (I found this helpful http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidTesting/article.html - by Lars Vogel)
2. Download the extension from https://github.com/nalbion/robotium-maps
Selenium is able to load Chrome Frame pages. The problem is that once you load the page in IE with Chrome Frame plugin, the tag appears as empty. Selenium tries to identify elements using the DOM structure, but the way IE and Chrome Frame plugin works, rendering
and DOM tree are taken over by the Chromium code and IE gets an empty DOM.
So i guess, selenium doesn't support IE with google frame add-on installed on it?
Has anyone worked around this problem?
Thanks
This question has been asked and answered on the Selenium user's mailing list. The IE driver doesn't work with the Google Chrome Frame add-on, and there are no plans to implement support for it to work with the Chrome Frame add-on. Either you want to test the operation of your website under Chrome (in which case you should use the ChromeDriver), or you want to test it under IE (in which case you should use the IE driver). If you can point to a specific case where using the website with the Chrome Frame add-on behaves differently than the way it behaves with the Chrome standalone browser, you might be able to make a case to revisit the issue. Furthermore, remember that Selenium is an Open Source project, and you are welcome to make changes and submit patches to the code at any time.
Watir WebDriver has the same issue.
Selenium core, the part that loads in the target browser and executes tests does work and can be run independently. So, if you have a Selenium test suite in HTML form, it can be run in GCF using the following steps:
Configure a web server to opt all URLs into chrome frame using HTTP header as described here: http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/chrome-frame-getting-started#TOC-Making-Your-Pages-Work-With-Google-
Host your test suite under '/tests' folder on this web server. Lets say the suite is my_test_suite.html.
Host the selenium core folder as the '/core' on the server
Now restart the server.
Run the suite with this URL: http:///core/TestRunner.html?test=tests/my_test_suite.html&auto=true
