Hello,
I open a new thread here since i dont want to hijack the thread of @water  called "I'm creating a WebDriver tutorial".
As recommended i started to take a deeper look into the "GDPR fines.au3" example.
I also fount that "au3WebDriver-0.11.0" comes with a nice Help file "Webdriver.chm"
When running GDPR fines.au3 i noticed that it uses a function called:
_WD_GetTable($sSession, $sBaseElement, $iPage)
It has 3 function parameters and is IN the "GDPR fines.au3"

So i got an error: wrong number of args.
Further investigation showed me that this function is already defined in the "wd_helper.au3" which is loaded at the beginnings #include but has only 2 parameters.
So i commented out the function in the "wd_helper.au3"

The _WD_GetTable function ran error free now but the next stop was:
_WD_ElementOptionSelect($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//select[@name='penalties_length']//option[contains(text(),'" & $aOptions[UBound($aOptions, 1) - 2] & "')]")
Variable subscript badly formatted (Error at -> UBound)
 
I'm not really sure why this happens because i dont really know how to traverse a website yet.
Have to dig deeper and read into it more.

Hello!

I've been trying to launch chrome through WD,  but for some reason, the user profile is not working, it just opens up the chrome window with the "temp" user. I've also made sure that the user profile path is correct by using "chrome://version". 
Here is what I've got so far:
#include "wd_helper.au3" #include "wd_capabilities.au3" #include "wd_core.au3" SetupChrome() _WD_CapabilitiesStartup() Local $sCapabilities = _WD_CapabilitiesGet() $sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sCapabilities) _WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://www.google.com") Func SetupChrome() _WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe') _WD_Option('Port', 9515) _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose --log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log"') _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--marionette-port 2828') $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args":["--user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\' & @UserName & '\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\", "--profile-directory=Profile 2"]}}}}' $_WD_DEBUG = $_WD_DEBUG_None ; You could also use $_WD_DEBUG_Error EndFunc  
Thanks in advance!
 

Good morning, everyone, 
I have had very good luck with using _WD_ElementActionEx 'CLICKANDHOLD'. What would be the best practice with dragging and dropping web elements? I would prefer to not to have to use any dragging and dropping but I haven't figured out a way to change the order the elements are displayed programmatically. 
I have a list of elements that are drag and drop. These elements in code are using <UL></UL> for the entire list and the actual web elements that are being manipulated are in <LI></LI> tags. These do not look like a bulleted list but that is the code that is being used. I've spoken with the web developer and there isn't any hot keys or keyboard commands that can be used to move these elements.
I know where the new and original web element appears and can select them using the _WD_WaitElement and _WD_FindElement combo. I can find the number of items in the list by looking at the code; I haven't started pulling the values out just yet. I am trying to figure out if there is a place to change the listed order.
Using the 'CLICKANDHOLD' feature as part of _WD_ElementActionEx does work and I know more or less where I need to drop it the new web element; the problem I am having is scrolling exactly to where I need the new web element dropped. It should be dropped beneath the original web element. 
What's the best method to output the number of children associated with the <UL></UL>? I am guessing that _WD_ElementActionEx 'CHILDCOUNT' would be it; but I haven't figured out how to get the call to output in a msgbox or in the console.

My thought is once AutoIt knows how many child elements there are; I am hoping that there would be a way to change the sort or priority order that the <LI></LI>'s are shown in. 
Thank you for your time and efforts on this and as I progress I'll update this topic,

I am having trouble finding a good way to click these "button" below. 

I only need to be able to click them when they have both yes/no. Otherwise I don't have to worry about them. For instance if they looked like this I would NOT have worry about clicking them and can just ignore them all togheter.(Below Picture)

The problem is as mentioned in the title, all of the ID's  are dynamic. (Classes too)

Here is what it looks like if yes is already selected.

This is what I was using to select the the button. However, I need to know if the button has already been clicked/selected or not.
_WD_LoadWait($sSession) $sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//span[text() = 'Offered access to electronic health information?']") Sleep(1000) _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'click') Sleep(500) _WD_Action($sSession, "actions", $sActionTab) Sleep(500) _WD_Action($sSession, "actions", $sActionEnter) Is there a way I can get the count of spans in the span class-"s_636" by tabbing over to the button? I am hoping someone might have some ideas on what I can try.
Unfortunally, The site is for work so giving the site wont do any good.
