I desire to use watir webdriver to click on a link on a webpage. If I use firebug to find the unique selector - I obtain the following:
new_login > div:nth-child(6) > button:nth-child(1)
How can I select and click this button using watir-webdriver?
Clicking a direct translation of your xpath would be:
browser.element(:id => 'new_login').div(:index => 5).button.click
Depending on the actual html, you may be able to simplify it. For example, if there is only one button in the new_login element, you could just do:
browser.element(:id => 'new_login').button.click
The fewer things you need to locate the button, the more robust and maintainable your script will be.

I'm using the mui autocomplete component, but I made it to work like a stepper.
Every step, the user is presented with a new set of options.
Because of this, the component complains that none of the options match.
The thing is, I don't want the options to have matches.
There are 3 steps that can repeat over and over again, and the user should be able to select the same option multiple times.
I have it completely working except for this single error. I don't want to use the freeSolo prop, because I want the user to be restricted to the options at the current step.
I set isOptionEqualToValue={() => false}, which displays the select menu how I'd like, but it's still just throwing this warning. Is there a way to just disable this warning?
is it possible to make a uib-typeahead behave like a dropdown select ?
I like the style of uib-typeahead when you use typeahead-min-length="0", and when you just click the text input you get all the possible options, so this kind of does what I want...
However, once you selected a first option, and you want to try another one, to get back the full list of options, you need to remove all the text from the input field first... whereas I would like to get it just by clicking the field.
So I would like to always get the full options list whatever text is already input... I know this is a bit against the idea of 'typeahead' if the tool doesn't care what you 'type ahead' ;)...
Another option would be to try and style a select with ng-options to look the same as uib-typeahead but I've read that it was not possible because the select dropdown list was a browser buitlin component. (is that correct?)
Any idea? Many thanks!
Often when I'm writing code I forget to surround a section of code with a method. For example, when printing an array, I realize that I forgot to pass the array into Arrays.toString().
String[] foo(){
return new String[3];
}
main() {
System.out.println(foo());
}
Is there a way in Eclipse that I can select foo() and then use auto complete or something to surround it with Arrays.toString()? So I want to end up with this:
main() {
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(foo()));
}
I know I could use templates, but I would have to make a template for each method I want to use. I'm looking for something like Eclipse's auto complete feature, which knows about every class and method in the build path.
Yes, you could use templates for that:
First, experiment with existing templates:
Go to the source editor and select "foo()".
Open the view General > Templates.
Select some template, for example, Java > toArray and see how it works.
Then, add your own template:
Windows > Preferences > Java > Editor > Templates > New.
I think the right context should be "Java".
Another way of accesing templates is through the content assist: In the source code, in a new line, start typing the first letters of your template, then press [CTRL][SPACE]. A selector will appear with the matching templates. You may find it useful to check the checkbox "Automatically inserted" in the template definition window.
And yet another way to access them is to select a line of code and then Context Menu > Surround With.
A quick way:
Double click or use select enclosing element and its cousins to select the expression you wish to wrap. ctrl-x to temporarily cut it. Type a few characters and ctrl-space to insert your method name and parentheses. Finally, ctrl-v to paste what you just cut.
with templates - under Java Statements: ${method}(${word_selection})${cursor}
You can make a template like the one described by #LittleSanti. If you use a fake template variable for the method name (like ${method} or ${name}) instead of a constant like foo, Eclipse will highlight it and let you paste or type or complete over it. Then when you hit return or tab, it will jump the cursor to the end (the position indicated by ${cursor}
Unfortunately I don't think Eclipse provides a "real" template variable for selecting methods in scope. It would be nice if it would let did completion for you on methods.
What's the correct XPath syntax to check if an option element is currently selected, or just to get the selected option element from a select element, on an open page with which the user, and JavaScript, may have interacted? Is this even possible with XPath, or does it lack the ability to look at DOM properties?
I can't find any documentation on this, and have (speculatively) tried:
//option[#selected=true]
//option[#selected="selected"]
//option[#selected]
but none of these work; they simply don't match any elements.
(In case it matters, I've tried this both using the $x function in the Chrome developer console, and using the find_elements_by_xpath method in Selenium for Python.)
Short answer: it's not possible.
Longer answer: XPath can look at HTML attributes, but it can't look at DOM properties. Selecting an <option> element in a <select> changes the selected property of the <option> to true, and also changes the value property of its parent <select> element, but it doesn't affect the attributes of either, so it is invisible to XPath.
To find <option> elements that have the selected attribute set, which is often how a page author might determine which option is initially selected, you can use //option[#selected]. But this does not find the currently selected <option>; changes that the user makes to the selection are invisible to XPath. There's no guarantee it will even find the initially selected option, since it's possible that the page author didn't put the selected attribute on any elements and either let the browser select the first option by default or had some JavaScript select the initial option via the selected property.
The multiple other answers here claiming that a selector like //option[#selected] can detect selection changes made by the user after the page loads are simply completely wrong.
Of course, if you're able to use CSS selectors instead of XPath selectors, then option:checked will do the job.
The problem could be the " (double quotes).
//select/option[#selected='selected'] - Will match the selected option, i am using this successfully.
//select/option[#selected='selected' and #value='specific value'] - Will only match the selected option if it has a 'specific value', i'm also using this.
If you are still having trouble, it could be an entirely different problem, perhaps there is no option node. I hope this helps.
I think we can use a knowledge from #Mark's answer and account that. Let's just find a node which HAS desired attribute:
tree.xpath('//select/option[#selected]/text()')[0].strip()
I tried "//option[#selected=''] and it has worked for me.
it is able to highlight the selected option within Page objects model.
I would try //option[#selected='true']
i.e. driver.findElements(By.xpath("//option[#selected='true']")).getText();
Is there an option in Eclipse PDT to show every call of chosen function.
I now if you select some kind of function and hit F3 key you will see a definition of selected function.
