WebDriver UDF cannot click element - (Moved)

[Efo74]

 

Hi, I have been testing this library for a few days and it is very promising. I want to acquire the information contained on a website. I have a list of elements that I can browse, but I cannot click with the mouse on these lines of the list. Can someone help me ?

#include "wd_core.au3"
#include "wd_helper.au3"

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

    $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true }}}}'
EndFunc

Local $sDesiredCapabilities, $sSession

SetupChrome()

_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)

_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://internetlink.demo")

for $i=1 to 10
$sSearch = "/html[@id='ng-app']/body[@id='home']/div[@class='main main_white ng-scope']/section[@id='content']/div[@class='container']/div[@class='row'][2]/div[@class='col-md-12']/ul[@class='list-group']/li[@class='list_row ng-scope'][" & $i & "]/a[@class='list-group-item list-group-item-info dropdown-header']"
_WD_WaitElement($sSession,$_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath,$sSearch) ;works
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $sSearch);works
_WD_HighlightElement($sSession, $sElement,2);works

    If @error = $_WD_ERROR_Success Then
    _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'click');not working
    EndIf

Next

We can't run your script (URL doesn't resolve), so you'll need to post more details. What does "not working" mean? Can you show us the results from the Scite output panel?

[Efo74]

Thank you Danp2 for your support. The link is a dummy link not real. I prefer not expose the public link. This is the scite  output for the last commands.

From the W3C specs --

Quote

Error Code	HTTP Status	JSON Error Code	Description
element click intercepted	400	element click intercepted	The Element Click command could not be completed because the element receiving the events is obscuring the element that was requested clicked.

The latest UDF release contains some improvements _WD_ElementAction in handling this HTTP status as a response. This could be further expanding to return an different error code to better indicate why the click attempt failed.

Have you tried clicking the container element instead of the link? Not sure how to assist further with the limited info supplied.

[Efo74]

 

Your help has been invaluable.
my idea was also to get the x, y coordinates of the control and then simulate pressing the left mouse button. Is it possible to obtain the coordinates of a control ?

I have not tried to click the container element. I do tests in this sense.I have no experience in web programming / web automation. so it's all new and difficult for now.

[Danp2]

There's an example of getting an element's coordinates in wd_demo.au3
