I want to find a test object with an xpath starting with id("foo")/. I tried with the following line:
findTestObject("MyPath", [('id'), 'foo'])
but it doesn't work. I've already tried the most obvious solution, that is checking the property xpath and using
findTestObject("MyPath")
but it didn't work because apparently part of the xpath changes at runtime.
Try to find your element via Selenium WebElement.
Example:
def driver = DriverFactory.getWebDriver()
WebElement elem = driver.findElement(ById.id('elementID'))

Firstly, Karate UI automation is really awesome tool. I am kind of enjoying it while writing the UI tests using Karate. I ran into a situation where in, i was trying to fetch the shadowRoot elements. I read few similar posts related to javascript executor with karate and learnt that it is already answered. it is recommended to use driver.eval. But in Karate 0.9.5 there is no eval, it has script() or scriptAll(). I have gone through documentation couple of times to figure out how i can fetch element inside an element but no luck.
Using traditional selenium+java, we can fetch shadowRoot like this way:
something like shadowRoot which sits inside a parent element like div or body.
//downloads-manager is the tagname and under that downloads-manager, a shadowRoot element exists
The HTML looks like this. it is from chrome://downloads.
<downloads-manager>
#shadow-root(open)
</download-manager>
WebElement downloadManager =driver.findElement(By.tagName("downloads-manager");
WebElement shadowRoot= (WebElement)((JavaScriptExecutor)driver)
.executeScript("return arguments[0].shadowRoot",downloadManager);
So i tried the following in Karate UI
script("downloads-manager","return _.shadowRoot"); //js injection error
script('downloads-manager', "function(e){ return e.shadowRoot;}"); // same injection error as mentioned above.
def shadowRoot = locate("downloads-manager").script("function(e){return e.shadowRoot};"); //returns an empty string.
I bet there is a way to get this shadowRoot element using Karate UI but i am kind of running out of options and not able to figure out this.
Can someone please look into this & help me?

Can you switch to XPath and see if that helps:
* def temp = script('//downloads-manager', '_.innerHTML')
Else please submit a sample in this format so we can debug: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/develop/examples/ui-test
EDIT: after you posted the link to that hangouts example in the comments, I figured out the JS that would work:
* driver 'http://html5-demos.appspot.com/hangouts'
* waitFor('#hangouts')
* def heading = script('hangout-module', "_.shadowRoot.querySelector('h1').textContent")
* match heading == 'Paul Irish'
It took some trial and error and fiddling with the DevTools console to figure this out. So the good news is that it is possible, you can use any JS you need, and you do need to know which HTML element to call .shadowRoot on.

I have added a custom locator in protractor, below is the code
const customLocaterFunc = function (locater: string, parentElement?: Element, rootSelector?: any) {
var using = parentElement || (rootSelector && document.querySelector(rootSelector)) || document;
return using.querySelector("[custom-locater='" + locater + "']");
}
by.addLocator('customLocater', customLocaterFunc);
And then, I have configured it inside protractor.conf.js file, in onPrepare method like this:
...
onPrepare() {
require('./path-to-above-file/');
...
}
...
When I run my tests on the localhost, using browser.get('http://localhost:4200/login'), the custom locator function works absolutely fine. But when I use browser.get('http://11.15.10.111/login'), the same code fails to locate the element.
Please note, that the test runs, the browser gets open, user input gets provided, the user gets logged-in successfully as well, but the element which is referred via this custom locator is not found.
FYI, 11.15.10.111 is the remote machine (a virtual machine) where the application is deployed. So, in short the custom locator works as expected on localhost, but fails on production.
Not an answer, but something you'll want to consider.
I remember adding this custom locator, and encounter some problems with it and realised it's just an attribute name... nothing fancy, so I thought it's actually much faster to write
let elem = $('[custom-locator="locator"]')
which is equivalent to
let elem = element(by.css('[custom-locator="locator"]'))
than
let elem = element(by.customLocator('locator'))
And I gave up on this idea. So maybe you'll want to go this way too
I was able to find a solution to this problem, I used data- prefix for the custom attribute in the HTML. Using which I can find that custom attribute on the production build as well.
This is an HTML5 principle to prepend data- for any custom attribute.
Apart from this, another mistake that I was doing, is with the selector's name. In my code, the selector name is in camelCase (loginBtn), but in the production build, it was replaced with loginbtn (all small case), that's why my custom locater was not able to find it on the production build.
I am new to Katalon Studio and I am facing an issue regarding selection of the drop down.
Please find below the details:
This is the HTML :
I have tried using selectByIndex with the object xpath as:
//div[#class='paCriteriaContainer']//select[#class = 'pa-criteria-select a-select initialized']
It does not select any option and fails with an error stating "Unable to select option by index '2' of object"
Note:
I tried clicking on the input and then selecting the option, but that doesn't seem to work either.
Selecting by label and value don't work either
Please help me here.
Thank you
Try to capture an object and then use following methods :
WebUI.click(findTestObject(Your captured object))
WebUI.selectOptionByValue(findTestObject(Your captured object), 'TEST (2020)', false)
Did you done as I've described and it does not work ?
I tried clicking on the input and then selecting the option, but that doesn't seem to work either.
Are you sure you are clicking the right element in this case?
Try the following instead: create programmatically the element and select by value (note, value isn't the text contained, it is the value html attribute):
TestObject to = new TestObject().addProperty("xpath", ConditionType.EQUALS, "//div[#class='paCriteriaContainer']//select[#class = 'pa-criteria-select a-select initialized']")
WebUI.selectOptionByValue(to, '40696', false)
You have some options to do that, I reggardly suggest you that use always the xpath to reach all the elements that you want to use. The reasson is because the object reports usually fail and, in my opinion, this way is so much more complicated.
But obviously, the xpath will change if the web do, so take care with it.
The imports you need:
import static org.junit.Assert.*
import org.openqa.selenium.By
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.driver.DriverFactory as DriverFactory
def driver = DriverFactory.getWebDriver()
//If you want to click your input would be:
WebUI.click(WebUI.convertWebElementToTestObject(driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//input[#id='a-select-paCricteriaId_6908'])"))))
//**you just can click on "TestObject" type, and findElement returns "Element" type**
And if you want to select the option you need to know the whole path (I cannot get it with the given information).
An important tip for testing the xpath is to use this function in console mode (F12):
function getElementByXpath(path) {
return document.evaluate(path, document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue;
}
//And this code in the same console to test your xpath:
getElementByXpath("YOURTESTXPATH")
Furthermore, there are other ways to reach the same objetive with xpath, for example:
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject as TestObject
...
TestObject tobj = new TestObject('myTestObject')
String expr = '/some/valid/xpath/expression'
tobj.addProperty('xpath', ConditionType.EQUALS, expr)
WebUI.click(tobj)
You have a lot of information if you google "how to get elements by xpath katalon".
Here you can get official information about it:
https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/tutorials/detect_elements_xpath.html#what-is-xpath
Test in the browser console
$x('//*[contains(#class, "pa-criteria-select a-select initialized")]')
if more than one result appear then you can access it like this
$x('(//*[contains(#class, "pa-criteria-select a-select initialized")])[1]')
then you can also access their children
$x('(//*[contains(#class, "pa-criteria-select a-select initialized")])[1]/option')
Use WebUI.selectOptionByIndex keyword but the object should point to the select tag instead of the div.
Update the object element and your code should work
Currently I'm using Eclipse with Nokia/Red plugin which allows me to write robot framework test suites. Support is Python 3.6 and Selenium for it.
My project is called "Automation" and Test suites are in .robot files.
Test suites have test cases which are called "Keywords".
Test Cases
Create New Vehicle
Create new vehicle with next ${registrationno} and ${description}
Navigate to data section
Those "Keywords" are imported from python library and look like:
#keyword("Create new vehicle with next ${registrationno} and ${description}")
def create_new_vehicle_Simple(self,registrationno, description):
headerPage = HeaderPage(TestCaseKeywords.driver)
sideBarPage = headerPage.selectDaten()
basicVehicleCreation = sideBarPage.createNewVehicle()
basicVehicleCreation.setKennzeichen(registrationno)
basicVehicleCreation.setBeschreibung(description)
TestCaseKeywords.carnumber = basicVehicleCreation.save()
The problem is that when I run test cases, in log I only get result of this whole python function, pass or failed. I can't see at which step it failed- is it at first or second step of this function.
Is there any plugin or other solution for this case to be able to see which exact python function pass or fail? (of course, workaround is to use in TC for every function a keyword but that is not what I prefer)
If you need to "step into" a python defined keyword you need to use python debugger together with RED.
This can be done with any python debugger,if you like to have everything in one application, PyDev can be used with RED.
Follow below help document, if you will face any problems leave a comment here.
RED Debug with PyDev
If you are wanting to know which statement in the python-based keyword failed, you simply need to have it throw an appropriate error. Robot won't do this for you, however. From a reporting standpoint, a python based keyword is a black box. You will have to explicitly add logging messages, and return useful errors.
For example, the call to sideBarPage.createNewVehicle() should throw an exception such as "unable to create new vehicle". Likewise, the call to basicVehicleCreation.setKennzeichen(registrationno) should raise an error like "failed to register the vehicle".
If you don't have control over those methods, you can do the error handling from within your keyword:
#keyword("Create new vehicle with next ${registrationno} and ${description}")
def create_new_vehicle_Simple(self,registrationno, description):
headerPage = HeaderPage(TestCaseKeywords.driver)
sideBarPage = headerPage.selectDaten()
try:
basicVehicleCreation = sideBarPage.createNewVehicle()
except:
raise Exception("unable to create new vehicle")
try:
basicVehicleCreation.setKennzeichen(registrationno)
except:
raise exception("unable to register new vehicle")

I am unable to fire an "onchange" event in mshtml. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong here.
HTMLSelectElement element = (HTMLSelectElement)this.HTMLDocument.all.item(controlId, 0);
IHTMLElement e = element as IHTMLElement;
IHTMLDocument4 doc = e.document as IHTMLDocument4;
object dummy = null;
object eventObj = doc.CreateEventObject(ref dummy);
HTMLSelectElementClass se = element as HTMLSelectElementClass;
se.FireEvent("onchange", ref eventObj);
I am getting variable "se" as null. I got this piece of code from another link http://www.itwriting.com/phorum/read.php?3,1507
Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks,
Sam
Runtime Callable Wrapper objects generated by COM calls like HTMLDocument.all.item can translate interface casting to QueryInterface calls. But the RCW does not know how to convert to a managed class like HTMLSelectElementClass, thus it returns null.
Instead of casting to HTMLSelectElementClass, cast to IHTMLElement3 to call fireEvent.
By the way, your code does not work in IE11 mode as document.all is deprecated. Use IHTMLDocument3::getElementById instead.
I had tried all those which Sheng mentioned but didn't work.
This issue was solved by injecting javascript code for "onchange" and executing it. It worked.
