From your description, it sounds like you aren't doing it correctly because I believe the browser history would be present if the correct profile is used.

Enter "about:support" as a URL to go to the troubleshooting page, which will show you the current profile in use. Compare this information for browser instances launched manually vs with the webdriver.

@Danp2Thanks for your answers, but the question remains 😞

When I make a request like:

$aElements = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//a[@href='/office_online/']", Default, True)
_ArrayDisplay($aElements)

I get the array values:

Row0 47fe4e84-786e-44d1-b3bc-44e2a72df893
Row1 47fe45bk-5466-44d1-9879-tgedfghgf785

What this means, I do not know, but at least on the page the query finds this entry.
But I need to get in the array a value like Row0 office_online and I make a request:

$aElements = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//a[@href='/*/']", Default, True)
_ArrayDisplay($aElements)

However, he is not looking for anything Even if I put * or *. *😞

How can I get what I need if the page has a code of the form:

...
<div class="username">
<a href="/office_online/"> office_online</a>
</div>
....

???

These are the element id's of the elements that matched your given criteria. Now go back and read me earlier response about how to process them further to get the desired property / attribute from each one. You'll need to make some adjustments since your criteria has changed.

P.S. Your requirements are certainly unique. Can you share more details on what your end goal is and what website is involved?

Sorry for the wrong comment topic.
Following your instructions, I went to "about: support". And I realized that Profile is automatically created (it is at% Temp%) without activating the cache (the history is in the browser cache). I added "about: config" such an index and it worked.
Thank Danp2.

@Danp2Hello,

Thank you for your comments!
After reading them more carefully and examining the desired page, I found a working configuration:

$aElements = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//a[@class='cell']", Default, True)
$sSource  = _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $aElements[Random(0,UBound($aElements)-1,1)], "Attribute", "href")
_WD_Navigate($sSession, $sSource)

Or, to implement a mouse click, you can implement the following:

$aElements = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//a[@class='cell']", Default, True)
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $aElements[Random(0,UBound($aElements)-1,1)], 'click')

And then bring it all into a cycle according to your taste...

Thanks again for your tips!
Without them, I would not have done anything.

And I apologize for future questions :-)
P.S. This is how a random selection of pictures is implemented on a project similar to wallpapers.com

Hi,

I am trying to push geckodriver's output to a .log file. But I couldn't find any geckodriver.log file in the script folder after execution. Am I missing any parameters in the setup method?

Please help.

Func SetupGecko()
_WD_Option('Driver', 'geckodriver.exe')
_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log trace')
;_WD_Option("DriverParams", '-vv >' & @ScriptDir & '\geckodriver.log')
;_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log trace --marionette-port 3687')
_WD_Option('Port', 4444)
$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"desiredCapabilities":{"javascriptEnabled":true,"nativeEvents":true,"acceptInsecureCerts":true}}'
EndFunc

Danp2 · May 15, 2020

@PoojaKrishna Not something that I've needed to do with geckodriver, but I think you have the right idea with setting "DriverParams" with the appropriate file redirection. Did you try it like this, which should handle a path with spaces in it?

_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log trace > "' & @ScriptDir & '\geckodriver.log"')

P.S. You post was moved to this support thread because the other thread is intended for UDF development discussions. Please post your future support questions here

Just tried and failed. Copying the console out.

@PoojaKrishna Your UDFs are out of date (both Webdriver and WinHTTP). Please update with latest versions from Github and then try again.

P.S. There hasn't been an official release of WinHTTP in quite some time, but you can grab the latest source from here

With these settings, the Geckodriver console opens and then immediately closes. Not sure of the cause, and not unable to look into it further ATM.

sarge · May 16, 2020

@Danp2Hello,

I got a system question.
Most of the processing in the programs looks like this:

For i = 1 to 50
_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://test.com")
Sleep(1500)
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//div[@class='nav_list']")
Sleep(500)
....etc....
Next

Accordingly, time is lost until each session responds to the cycle and proceeds to the next step.
And if the sessions are 50, 100, 500?
It takes a long time before the cycle is completed!
Is there a way to implement multiprocessing in a program?
That is, each browser session starts to execute the command immediately, without waiting for the previous one?

Danp2 · May 16, 2020

@sarge Maybe I'm just being extra dense in my old age, but I'm having difficulty understanding the issue --

Which commands are causing the slowdown?
Have you tried controlling multiple tabs by switching between them with _WD_Window or _WD_Attach?
If you are trying to reduce run times, why throw in the extra Sleep commands?

sarge · May 16, 2020

@Danp2I’ll try to clarify.
I need to send a certain function to all sessions at once.
Not busting in a loop, but at the same time!
For this function to be performed by each session, immediately ..

Danp2 · May 16, 2020

Maybe have a single "host" script that communicates with a bunch of "worker" scripts. Each worker script could control it's own browser session. Check out this UDF --

sarge · May 18, 2020

@Danp2Hello,

Some more simple questions came up.
I’m probably too careless, but I can’t understand why I can’t insert a variable element search string:

$sURL = GUICtrlRead($URL)
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//a[@href='&$sURL&']")
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'click')

Another attempt with this design:

$sURL = GUICtrlRead($URL)
_WD_LinkClickByText($sSession, $sURL)

Also gives nothing, no matter what text I enter into the variable $sURL...

Do not tell me where I'm wrong?

And whether the functions still work: _WD_MoveMouseTo($sSession,$sElem), _WD_SetFocus($sSession,$sElem) ??

Danp2 · May 18, 2020

8 minutes ago, sarge said:

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//a[@href='&$sURL&']")

Write the result to the console and you should see the issue, like this --

ConsoleWrite("//a[@href='&$sURL&']" & @crlf)

Quote

_WD_LinkClickByText($sSession, $sURL)

The function is _WD_LinkClickByText, so it's not going to work with the URL because you generally won't find the URL in the text attribute of a link.

sarge · May 18, 2020

Yes, with this request the variable is not converted, and shows in console:

$sURL = office_online
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//a[@href='&$sURL&']")
ConsoleWrite("//a[@href='&$sURL&']" & @crlf)
..........................................
//a[@href='&$sURL&'

But when I insert a direct link:

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//a[@href='office_online']")

Everything works fine...

The question was, is it even possible to insert a variable into this line?

Danp2 · May 19, 2020

Yes, it's possible if you do it correctly. Currently, there isn't any concatenation occurring because you don't have ~~words~~ quotes in the correct location. I'm sure you can solve this yourself if you make an effort. 😉
