roughmech Posted July 16, 2024 Posted July 16, 2024 Hello, I have been using the WebDriver UDF for the first time since the website I am trying to automate will not work with the IE method that I'm used to programming with. This is also the first time using XPaths. I have studied Getting Started and have a grasp of the basics. I'm just having issues finding the elements. I installed the dev tools into my Chrome browser for identifying elements also. My program uses Edge to load the site for automation, Edge was the first browser I got to work with the WebDriver UDF. While using the automation I thought it would be good not to have other instances of the same browser open that I was trying to automate. I just cant figure out why the elements dont match the selector as shown below. ChroPath says This element might be pseudo element/comment/inside iframe from different src. I also tried absolute path on the email input and still no match /html/body/div[1]/div[3]/div/div[2]/div/div/form/div[2]/div[1]/input Thank you Element relative path text from the website using the Copy. Email input //*[@id="InputIdentityFlowValue"] Continue button //*[@id="BtnSubmit"] expandcollapse popup#Region - include files ; non standard UDF's #include "wd_helper.au3" #include "wd_capabilities.au3" #include "wd_core.au3" #EndRegion - include files #Region - Global's declarations Global Const $sElementSelector = "//input[@name='q']" #EndRegion - Global's declarations Local $sDesiredCapabilities, $sSession, $sElement SetupEdge() _WD_Startup() $sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities) DisneyLogin() Func SetupEdge() _WD_Option('Driver', 'msedgedriver.exe') _WD_Option('Port', 9515) _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose') $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"ms:edgeOptions": {"binary": "' & StringReplace (@ProgramFilesDir, "\", "/") & '/Microsoft/Edge/Application/msedge.exe", "excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"], "useAutomationExtension": false}}}}' EndFunc Func DisneyLogin() Local $sElement, $sButton _WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/login/") sleep(1000) ;Locate email input element $sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//*[@id='InputIdentityFlowValue']") Sleep(500) ; Set email input element's contents _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'value', "someone@somewhere.com") Sleep(500) ; Locate continue click element $sButton = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//input[@name='BtnSubmit']") ; click continue element _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sButton, 'click') _WD_LoadWait($sSession, 2000) EndFunc

roughmech Posted July 16, 2024 Author Posted July 16, 2024 Thank you very much for the reply. I will be removing the sleep statemets, they were just there as I trying to figure out what was going on. Danp2, thanks for the verifications of iframes. I did a search with "iframe" and found one where you responded with a solution. I am going to try that. I'll get back to you all with the results. Thank you
roughmech Posted July 18, 2024 Author Posted July 18, 2024 I understand now how to work with the iframes.

roughmech Posted August 21, 2024 Author Posted August 21, 2024 So I have run into another issue where I cant find an element. This Time it is in a shadow-root. I have search many examples of how to locate the shadow element. I then use what I found _WD_GetShadowRoot in the _WD_FindElement and of course "No match". All of the examples I found have different html above the shadow-root then I show in the pic. The below code is what I have so far and I beleive it has to do with the selectors I'm using but I am not sure because I do not understand the object that has the shadow-root. The pics will show the form I am trying to fill out and the html which has multiple #shadow-root (open) . I did not see the shadow elements nested in anyway just each one under fnf-search-guest-form object further down. If I could figure out how to just find the firstName, I'm sure the rest can be found with the same method. Could you point me in the right direction. Thank you Local $sRoot = _WD_GetShadowRoot($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "/html/body/fnf-root/profile-layout/div/fnf-add-guest/div/div/fnf-search-guest-form/div/form/div[1]/div[1]/wdpr-input") Local $oTemp = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//input[@id='firstName']",Default, Default, $sRoot) _WD_FindElement ==> No match [8] : Parameters: Strategy=xpath Selector=//span[@class='required'] StartNodeID=Default Multiple=Default ShadowRoot=Default __WD_Get ==> No match [8] : HTTP status = 404 _WD_ElementAction ==> No match [8] : Parameters: Command=property Option=header-title __WD_Post ==> Success [0] : HTTP status = 200 _WD_FindElement ==> Success [0] : Parameters: Strategy=xpath Selector=//span[@class='required'] StartNodeID=Default Multiple=Default ShadowRoot=Default __WD_Get ==> Success [0] : HTTP status = 200 _WD_ElementAction ==> Success [0] : Parameters: Command=property Option=header-title __WD_Post ==> Success [0] : HTTP status = 200 _WD_FindElement ==> Success [0] : Parameters: Strategy=xpath Selector=/html/body/fnf-root/profile-layout/div/fnf-add-guest/div/div/fnf-search-guest-form/div/form/div[1]/div[1]/wdpr-input StartNodeID= Multiple=Default ShadowRoot=Default __WD_Get ==> Success [0] : HTTP status = 200 _WD_ElementAction ==> Success [0] : Parameters: Command=shadow Option=Default _WD_GetShadowRoot ==> Success [0] : Parameters: Strategy=xpath Selector=/html/body/fnf-root/profile-layout/div/fnf-add-guest/div/div/fnf-search-guest-form/div/form/div[1]/div[1]/wdpr-input StartElement=Default __WD_Post ==> No match [8] : HTTP status = 404 _WD_FindElement ==> No match [8] : Parameters: Strategy=xpath Selector=//input[@id='firstName'] StartNodeID=Default Multiple=Default ShadowRoot=f.579667ED473876E9446565712A668AE9.d.11CA3D8E4F44456DC048A1012F76EC0B.e.182

roughmech Posted August 22, 2024 Author Posted August 22, 2024 Thanks Danp2, I changed the FindElement, should of caught that I had passesed $sRoot in the wrong place. The return is giving Invalid Expression now, the StartNodeID does not look right. Searching all the examples of finding a Shadow Root the element above it is what was used, as highlighted in the pic. Typically CSS Selector was used, I used Xpath selector because CSS would not return Success. When I hover over the elemnet highlighted in the first pic the form shows the CSS, i think. I tried that in a CSS Selector but it returned No match. From what I understand so far that element includes the shadow-root which has the elemnet i'm looking for. What do you think is the proper way to look for the shadow-root?

Danp2 Posted August 22, 2024 Posted August 22, 2024 There is code in _WD_FindElement to ensure that a relative selector is being used when using xpath strategy with a starting node, so this is the reason your code is failing. You should try changing your xpath from "//input[@id='firstName']" to "./input[@id='firstName']" Latest Webdriver UDF Release Webdriver Wiki FAQs
roughmech Posted August 22, 2024 Author Posted August 22, 2024 I looked at the _WD_FindElement in the wd_core.au3 and I see the code you are talking about. I changed my xpath as you suggested and I get Invalid Argument in the output.
