The structure of this course is arguable. As you can hear from the presentation (the link you mentioned in your comment) that class is a sort of Utility class that has been prepared by course developers (it is not the part of JUnit).
They briefly touch that class in the next video. However they do not describe it in details.
You can find missing code in their source code repository. For example the class you're asking about particularly can be found here.
ElementNotInteractableException: Element is not reachable by keyboard
Element is not reachable by keyboard in plain words means that the element can’t be reached using the keyboard, which means you won't physically interact with it even.
Reason
There can be multiple reasons behind the error Element is not reachable by keyboard which can be either of the following:
The element is hidden as modern JavaScript-centric UI styles always keep the ugly raw HTML input field hidden. The hidden attribute could have been implemented through either of the following ways: A temporary overlay of some other element over the desired element. A permanent overlay of some other element over the desired element. Presence of attributes e.g. class="ng-hide", style="display: none", etc As per best practices while sending character sequence, you must not attempt to invoke click() or sendKeys() on any
or tag, instead invoke click() on the desired tag following the Official locator strategies for the webdriver. Solution
There are different approaches to address this issue.
Incase of temporary overlay use WebDriverWait inconjunction with ExpectedConditions for the desired element to be visible/clickable as follows:
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.XPath("//*[@id="btnSubmit"]"))).click();
In case of permanent overlay use executeScript() method from JavascriptExecutor interface as follows:
import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
WebElement myElement = driver.findElement(By.XPath("//*[@id="btnSubmit"]"));
String js = "arguments[0].setAttribute('value','"+inputText+"')"
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(js, myElement);
This might be a trivial question/answer, however I would like to know if there is a way that I could store an element locator in a variable and then reuse it same as it while working with Selenium and Page Object Pattern.
In my previous work I used to write automation test in Visual Studio and I used Selenium Web-driver along with Page Object Pattern approach. During my work on the Page Objects and later component, I could declare all selectors by FindBy annotation and then reuse it for the purpose of future tests. I have just started my adventure with Playwright and I was wondering if I could achieve same approach. So far all examples in web showed that each time when you have an element selector you perform already an action on it.
Lets say that I have a Page Object Class called "Home Page". On this page there is a "Submit" button. I would like to get location of this button and store in a variable so I can reuse it in the future. How can I achieve similar out which I used with FindBy annotation?
So instead of having common approach such as -> await page.click('button');
I would like to have something which will look like this -> const submitButton= [location of button tag];
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
If you are sure that your search criteria is the text, you can use XPath:
"//*[text()='Começa a new game']"
What I am trying to do:
I have a custom command, inside which i am declaring few variables(boolean). I am setting the values for the variables as per my code. I wanna use the variables to assert in another part of the test. Example. Custom Command:
Cypress.Commands.add('XYZ', () => {
var a,b,c,d
a=b=c=d=false
if(some condition){
//some cy commands
a=c=true
}
return a,b,c,d
})
Spec file:
it("A test", function () {
cy.XYZ()
if(a){
//do something
}
else if(b){
//do something
}
...
})
Cypress suggests to wrap variables and assign an alias to re use it in the test. But that looks good for a single variable. I wanna work with more than 10 variables in the custom command, and then use the variables in the test later down.
Is there any other solution to return multiple variables from a custom command and use them in the test?
js.executeScript("script", arguments..,);
The above is the syntac for jsexecutor . You can access the arguments you pass to the script as arguments[index]. so in your case,
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", elementName);
script is : arguments[0].click();and arguments is: elementName
so you are passing only one argument hence you can use only arguments[0] , which will get elementName.
Its an interesting observation if you change onlyforgroups to groups then everything works:
but when there are multiple groups included in your testng.xml then all before and after method in mentioned group get executed before every test method . so in order to avoid this you have to mix groups and onlygroups together
If you don't specify group in testng xml then all methods get invoked. but if you mention group then only methods in that particular group get executed.
this is because if you read the definition of groups:
https://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html
groups The list of groups this class/method belongs to.
so if you don't mention the group or always run true then the method is not invoked so you won't get the before and after method invoked as they are not in any group
you can mix the two as :
package driversetup;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
public class TestBaseClass {
@BeforeMethod(onlyForGroups = {"P1"},groups = {"P1"})
public void bmeth1()
{
System.out.println("Before Method1 called");
}
@BeforeMethod(onlyForGroups = {"P2"},groups = {"P2"})
public void bmeth2()
{
System.out.println("Before Method2 called");
}
@BeforeMethod(onlyForGroups = {"P3"},groups = {"P3"})
public void bmeth3()
{
System.out.println("Before Method3 called");
}
@AfterMethod(onlyForGroups = {"P1"},groups = {"P1"})
public void ameth1()
{
System.out.println("After Method1 called");
}
@AfterMethod(onlyForGroups = {"P2"},groups = {"P2"})
public void ameth2()
{
System.out.println("After Method2 called");
}
@AfterMethod(onlyForGroups = {"P3"},groups = {"P3"})
public void ameth3()
{
System.out.println("After Method3 called");
}
}
or enable always run true
package driversetup;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
public class TestBaseClass {
@BeforeMethod(onlyForGroups = {"P1"},alwaysRun = true)
public void bmeth1()
{
System.out.println("Before Method1 called");
}
@BeforeMethod(onlyForGroups = {"P2"},alwaysRun = true)
public void bmeth2()
{
System.out.println("Before Method2 called");
}
@BeforeMethod(onlyForGroups = {"P3"},alwaysRun = true)
public void bmeth3()
{
System.out.println("Before Method3 called");
}
@AfterMethod(onlyForGroups = {"P1"},alwaysRun = true)
public void ameth1()
{
System.out.println("After Method1 called");
}
@AfterMethod(onlyForGroups = {"P2"},alwaysRun = true)
public void ameth2()
{
System.out.println("After Method2 called");
}
@AfterMethod(onlyForGroups = {"P3"},alwaysRun = true)
public void ameth3()
{
System.out.println("After Method3 called");
}
}
this ensures that the before and after method gets invoked, but get executed only for correct @test methods
You are using java jdk 8 ,
You should update it to jdk 11+
I have a fear that in few years companies will deploy AI based robotic process test automation tools and my java selenium programming skills will become obsolete.
So I read all the other stackoverflow topics about this, none of the solutions worked for me so lets see if someone can help me.
I need to verify a download (csv) from an export button in chrome(driver) without a link but js. I can target the btn, click to start the download but then the chrome popup promp comes up which I cant target anymore. Not without switch to alert or other frame or window etc etc.
My chrome options are all correct and I've set accept_ssl_cert as well. I dont have any clue what to do. I am sure these options are correctly transfered since I can change the download directory and it changes in the prompt. In the automated chrome webdriver the box is also unchecked with 'ask where to save each file before downloading' however when I manually try to download something in here the prompt does indeed come up...
chromedriver preferences:
download.prompt_for_download=false
directory_upgrade=true
download.default_directory=/home/
profile.default_content_settings.popups=0
plugins.always_open_csv_externally= true
anyone has an idea why this download popup always comes up? Or how to target it? Or maybe a different way to verify the download is started/can be stared/is downloading?
