I have 2 selects for setting the expiration date on a credit card and I want to test that the error messaging comes back correctly when the card is expired. The only problem I have is that right now I can't pick a value that's expired since the list starts at Jan 2011 which isn't expired yet. What I'm thinking about doing is using javascript in selenium to inject a known expired value. Anyone have any idea on how to do this or suggestions on a better way to accomplish?
You can use the storeEval method to run snippets of JavaScript using Selenium. The JavaScript is run in the context of the Selenium object so you need window.document to get the document reference (hence the reason for the first line).
This snippet is the JavaScript for adding a new option the select element:
var d = window.document;
var select = d.getElementsByName("selectName")[0];
var option = d.createElement('option');
option.value='Value';
option.innerHTML='My new option';
select.appendChild(option);
Here's the copy/paste of my Selenium IDE entry for you.
<tr>
<td>storeEval</td>
<td>var d = window.document;var select = d.getElementsByName("selectName")[0];var option = d.createElement('option');option.value='Value';option.innerHTML='My new option';select.appendChild(option);</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
Then you can just have the standard select method in Selenium to select the option. Of course, you can always do option.setAttribute('selected',true) in the JavaScript snippet but having Selenium do it will ensure the new value has been selected (since it will fail if it can't find it).
storeEval
window.document.getElementsByName('descript')[0].value;

I have popups with this name structure:
static_dynamic_static
The dynamic part changes each time I log in so my test cases fail each time. I thought about solving the problem with a regular expression like this:
Command: waitForPopUp
Target: regexp:static_.+_static
But this doesn't work. What do I do wrong? Is this even working. If not, is there another way to solve this problem?
From my experience you don't need to declare it as a regex within the target field, you should just be able to have the target as:
static_*_static
and that should do it
If you've got only one popup window you can use null as a target and test will take the first popup:
waitForPopup | null
The other option is to get dynamic part before popup opening. It is very likely that the dynamic part could be retrieved from the page. If so you can get it using storeEval, and than use like:
waitForPopup | javascript{'static'+storedVars['dynamic']+'static'}
If you can't store the dynamic part please provide an html of your page or only the part where the dynamic part mentioned.
I see that theoretically it could be possible to get all the names of your windows and than to use pattern in a loop to get the one.
Also (theoretically) it is possible to expand default waitForPopup function.
But the second way and especially the first are much cheaper.
The best way to handle this might be to run a snippet of javascript to handle this:
<tr>
<td>storeEval</td>
<td>var myRe = new RegExp("^prefix.+", "g"); var mywin; windows=selenium.getAllWindowNames();for (i = 0; i < windows.length; i++) { if(myRe.test(windows[i])) { mywin=windows[i]} }; mywin;</td>
<td>x</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>selectWindow</td>
<td>name=${myWindow}</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
That javascript isn't fully function (no null checking) but should help get you on the right track.
I am attempting to verifyText of a text box programmatically populated then is disabled from user editing. Firebug gets me to this code.
<div class="flexitem-center">
<input class="input-default" type="text" disabled="" value="20140201"/>
I can locate the text box but I can't figure out how to verify against the value attribute. I am fairly new to Selenium and only use the IDE not web driver.
I have found guru99.com "How to use Locators in Selenium IDE" to be real helpful, but I could not find and answer for this. The same goes with seleniumhq.org/docs/
I haven't found any examples of verifying the value attribute. Maybe I can't get there from here?
My most recent attempt is
<td>verifyText</td>
<td>css=input.input-default[value=20140201]</td>
<td>20140201</td>
That generates an error - Actual value " did not match '20140201'
Thanks for any help.
First of all if you can find an element by locator = css=input.input-default[value=20140201] you are already sure that the input with such value exists (because it is included to locator). So you can do:
click | css=input.input-default[value=20140201]
And it will fail if there will be no element with such value
Secondly value is not the same thing as text. Value is an attribute of input. If you need to verify attribute value just do it:
verifyAttribute | css=input.input-default[value=20140201]#value | 20140201
I am new to Selenium and exploring the IDE currently. I am supposed to automate a web page which requires user to fill in a row of details(It is a row of fields which asks user to fill in name,email ID , to and from dates etc).
I have created a test case and filled in all these details(recorded in IDE). When I play the test case, I observe that the details I have filled appears below the row and the IDE trying to fill in the same values. It errors out telling Name and email ID exist.
Is there anyway I can test this case successfully? I do not have access to the code nor the database.
Sounds like you need to create with new user info each time. I tend to use javascript to create a unique timestamped e-mail...
<tr>
<td>storeEval</td>
<td>'myemail' + Date.now() + '#testdomain.com'</td>
<td>emailAddress</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>echo</td>
<td>${emailAddress}</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
Sounds like an issue with duplicate details, the data appearing below the entry field will most likely be just auto complete. But from what you've described I think you'd need to use different data each time.
SeLite is a useful plugin that has an additional extension to it called SeLite Commands, which gives you extra commands which will input random data into fields (if you don't have any specific requirements on the data being input) it can generate random text, or random emails as well.
Both can be downloaded from here
I want to use selenium to record and click at item in a page with the following code:
<input type="checkbox" onclick="HighlightRow(1, this, 3,"");" value="916242540932034325|628149" name="AID">
in Selenium IDE, recorded script:
click
//input[#name='AID' and #value='916242540932034325|628149']
However, the value 916242540932034325|628149
having security prefix "916242540932034325" which will change dynamically every time the page load.
Problems: My Recorded Script not able to RUN after page load due to the dynamic security prefix.
Help: Anyone have any suggestion for the problems I face above?
Try click //input[#name='AID' and contains(#value, '|628149')]. As long as that's a unique combination of NAME and VALUE, you'll get what you want.
I have a quick question, I looked around the site and was not able to find another question relevant to what I wanted to ask. I am trying to implement Selenium IDE and use it agiants a company website. I want to be able to record a registration and then have the registration play back. The problem I run into is when the test is played back it always fails. The reason is becase the account cannot be re-created again. Is there a way I can get the test to pass after I have recorded a registration process?
this works for me to create a random email id-
<tr>
<td>storeEval</td>
<td>Math.round (Math.random() * 1357)</td>
<td>random</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>type</td>
<td>email</td>
<td>selenium${random}#domain.com</td>
</tr>
To create a random user
<tr>
<td>storeEval</td>
<td>Math.round (Math.random() * 1357)</td>
<td>random</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>type</td>
<td>user</td>
<td>selenium${random}</td>
</tr>
The problem is not with your Selenium test, but with the page itself. If you are trying to register the same user again, it is actually expected to fail - you might even record test that validates it.
You have to options - either clean the database so that the test always runs on the same data set or make your script more intelligent. The first option requires you to have full access to tested site (which is usually the case) but you can safely assume that the test results are predictable most of the time.
On the other hand by making the tests more intelligent I meant using random user name (or generating unique name some other way) - more coding and I am not sure whether it is possible with plain Selenium IDE.
You can generate random data while execution of scripts for email/name
Username/ID:- javascript{Math.floor(Math.random()*11)}
--- increased number of digit by increasing number of 1
Email :- javascript{"abc+" + Math.floor(Math.random()*11111) + "#gmail.com";}
Yaasir,
The Selenium IDE gladly executes JavaScript. That means, you may use not only Math.random, but also something that generates more unique identifier.
I am using all the way the timestamp. This is easy and the result is so unique, you would not possibly get same number unless you reset time on your test machine ( in that case possibility of getting same identifier becomes slightly bigger than zero).
Here is the line I use
<tr>
<td>store</td>
<td>javascript{new Date().getTime()}</td>
<td>timestamp</td>
</tr>
As a result, you will get similar to this number 1375400227202
