Help required in locating web element using chrome webdriver in dynamic web pages - (Moved)

Subramanian · February 19, 2023

I am using wd_core.au3 and wd_helper.au3. I am trying to access the "Redwood - Run my jobs" job interface.

Some of the pages are created dynamically inside script like the below code snippet. This is what the _WD_GetSource function returns. So my Xpath seen on the actual page is not working. How to tackle this? Expert inputs required. Thanks in advance.

</script></head><body class="UIMainPage" onload="handlePageLoad();" onunload="Custom.unloadWindow();" onresize="panel.layout();" oncontextmenu="return PopupMenu.popupFromElement(event);" onclick="if (event.which){if (event.which != 1) return;} else {if (event.button!=0)return;}PopupMenu.closeOpenMenu();" onkeydown="PopupMenu.closeOpenMenu();" actions="[['','','MainPage','MainPage','1',[['A','101302','1','',[],[]],['A','101303','1','',[],[]],['A','101305','1','',[null],[]],['A','101312','0','',[],[]],['A','101313','0','',[],[]],['A','101314','0','',[],[]],['A','101308','1','',[],[]],['A','101319','1','',[null,null],['Suggestions','<div class=\&quot;UIEditPageFrame UIEditPageFrame-TopBorder\&quot;><table class=\&quot;UIModalDialog-Structure-MainBar UIEditPagePanel UIEditPageFields AutoWidth\&quot;><colgroup><col class=\&quot;AutoWidth\&quot; /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td colspan=\&quot;2\&quot; class=\&quot;NoMaxWidth NoClip\&quot;><div class=\&quot;UIModalDialog-Structure-MainBar-Cell\&quot;>When using suggestions identifying information will be sent.

Have you tried using one of the available tools to potentially identify a better selector? You could also use the Save Page WE addon to save the webpage in a format that we could then view to see exactly what you see when logged into the website.

I used the Inspect option of Chrome developer tools. I copied the full Xpath using Copy -> Copy full Xpath option. When I validate the same using chrome console by using the below code, its returning the object.

$x("<copied path>")

Unfortunately I am viewing the rendered page by script. But when I am accessing through chrome web driver, I am receiving the code used for rendering. Is there a way to perform the rendering action.

Danp2 · February 19, 2023

You could try the "Copy Xpath" option instead of the full option. Otherwise, there are the tools I linked above that give you other alternatives.

I'm unsure what you are saying here. 🤔 Instead of using _WD_GetSource, you should attempt to capture the rendered HTML via some other method.

exactly I propose:

https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/save-page-we

very handy tool
