I figured out that this is caused by "user-data-dir=userData", since it doesnt happen if I delete this part. Does anyone have an idea on how to have all the user data without the url bar getting highlighted?

The behavior doesn't occur on the initial run (userData directory is empty or non-existent). There's something in this custom profile that is causing this to occur.

Let us know if you are able to figure out the cause.

Enter Frame result ()

Why id is "null" ?? Thank you so much !

[CYCho]

@TungNhoc, isn't $eFrame itself the ID of iframe element? Maybe you can do away with the 3rd and 4th lines of your code.

$eFrame = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//iframe[@name='QC Test Máy']")
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Finding Frame ID (" & $eFrame & ")" & @CRLF & @CRLF)

$sFrame = _WD_FrameEnter($sSession, $eFrame)
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Enter Frame result (" & $sFrame & ")" & @CRLF & @CRLF)

By the way, _WD_FrameEnter returns a boolean value.

Hey there!

I have a question: Is it possible to give no timeout for _WD_WaitElement, so that is waits until the element is found, even if it takes several minutes? This would be very useful because some elements on the websites are loading for aaaaagggeesss.😄

_WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $sStrategy, 0, 100000)

I have this code segment, but it is set to a time, not limitless. Thanks for advice!

I wouldn't recommend this as your script would never move beyond this line if the element isn't ever located. You have a couple of options --

• Use the $iDelay parameter to specify an initial delay before the function begins looking for the element
• You should be able to specify a value for $iTimeout that is large enough to allow the website to finish loading. For example, use a value of 300000 to wait up to 5 minutes

[_leo_]

@Danp2 Thanks! It works perfectly.

Hi again 👋

I have to click button, but it is "clickable" only when i scroll down a website ( when I see that button on screen ). Is there any way to simulate that focus? I tried 

_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, $sCommand, 'active')

but it's not working :/

Quick question, I am just starting out with using the WebDriver UDF, I saw somewhere while reading through the forums, that it is possible to change the default location of chrome. I just don't know where I would change it. For example, I am using chrome portable from a unc path. I know that the best scenario would be to install chrome the normal way but we cant here. I need a way to use Chrome for my project without installing it on the local PC. I have been searching the forums (And google with no luck), but if I messed it my apologies up front.

I found it, It was just a few more searches. If anyone was interested in the answer...

I fond one person who seemed to get this working, I think I'm close but may be missing something. I grabbed the driver for my version (75) only difference is I'm using the portable version. See my example below but browser does not open. I am guessing I am not using the correct syntax or something.
 

_WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe')
_WD_Option('Port', 9515)
_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log-path=' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log')

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args":["user-data-dir=userData", "binary_location":"C:\\Users\\user1\\Desktop\\AutoLogontestCrome\\GoogleChromePortable.exe"] }}}}'
_WD_Startup()
Local $sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
_WD_Navigate($sSession, "http://google.com")
_WD_Shutdown()

@P00PDOG I am unable to test your code in full, but one thing I can say is the syntax of "args" option. "binary=C:\Program Files\..." works for me.

thanks for the response. I made the change you recommended but it still doesn't run the portable exe... I changed the path to make it shorter...

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args":["user-data-dir=userData", "binary=C:\AutoLogontestCrome\GoogleChromePortable.exe"] }}}}'

Regarding  the argument "user-data-dir=userData", is "userData" literally "userData" or a directory path for the Chrome user data, something like "C:\Users\User1\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default"? You may find some suggestions in this forum for user-data-dir argument, but I  myself haven't been able to make use of it. Why don't you try the code with this argument removed? If it works, then you can move on to including the user data argument.

That was just there from someone's example. I removed it but still the same thing.

I think I'm going to try Iua instead, I am just doing a simple login script (not really a testing script) and I am over thinking it. Thanks for your help though. Cheers!

I am also in process of learning webdriver functions. Once I experienced a similar situation when there was mismatch of Chrome and ChromeDiver versions. You may want to look at http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads and check your versions. @Danp2 or other experts may be able to give you a better suggestion.

_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, $sCommand, 'active')

This actually returns the id for the currently active element (the $sElement parameter is unused in this instance).

According to the W3C specs, the element's container should automatically be scrolled into view. Can you provide an example where this doesn't occur?

Edit: You may also want to search this thread for the phrase "ScrollIntoView"

@P00PDOG There are examples in this thread where others have gotten this to work using forward slashes instead of backslashes. Have you tried that?

Hey guys!

I am trying to get the innertext of an element and save it as variable.  To achieve that, I am using the ClipGet Function. The innertext of the element is changing frequetly, therefore I can't use it as a constant in my script. 

_WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//strong[@class='footer-name text-truncate']", 0, $iPause*30, True)
   $ogetname = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//strong[@class='footer-name text-truncate']")

   $oResult = _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $ogetname, 'Attribute', 'text')
   MsgBox(0, "Show Result", $oResult)
   _ArrayDisplay($oResult) ;I was not sure if this would return an array or a string.
   Global $sGanzerName = ClipGet()

The message box did not return anything, ArrayDisplay only weird Numbers. 

Since I was not sure, if this is possible with the webdriver functions, I tried it with this:

$var1 = _WD_ExecuteScript($sSession, 'return $sSession.findElement(By.class("footer-name text-truncate")).getText()')
   MsgBox(0, "Result", $var1)

Both without sucess. I appreciate any help😊

 Just for additional clearace: In this case, I would like to get the "15D" stored as a variable.

[Danp2]

@_leo_ You should check the value of @error following the call the the webdriver functions. I suspect that the element isn't being found because there are multiple classes involved. You would need to switch to using the Contains function for each class or maybe switching to using CSS for the selector instead of xpath.

Also, you should watch the results that appear in the Scite output panel and use that as a way to screen your scripts success or failure when executing the webdriver functions.
