Hi Guys, 

I want to highlight an item on my GUI:

I prepared below code: 

ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Checkpoint 01" & @CRLF)
$sSelector = "//h1[contains(text(),'Welcome to BSS')]"

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $sSelector, Default, True)
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Checkpoint 02" & @CRLF)

_WD_HighlightElements($sSession, $sElement, 3) ;3 - Highlight yellow rounded box + border dotted red
If @error Then
    ConsoleWrite("Checkpoint 03 ERROR IS: " & @error & @CRLF)
EndIf
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Checkpoint 04" & @CRLF)
  • Find Element --> Failed
  • Highlight Element --> Failed 
Checkpoint 01
__WD_Post: URL=HTTP://127.0.0.1:5555/session/e8400313055f3e527203269ed8b79caa/elements; Data={"using":"xpath","value":"\/\/h1[contains(text(),'Welcome to BSS')]"}
__WD_Post ==> Success [0] : HTTP status = 200 ResponseText={"value":[]}
_WD_FindElement ==> No match [8] : Parameters:   Strategy=xpath   Selector=//h1[contains(text(),'Welcome to BSS')]   StartNodeID=Default   Multiple=True   ShadowRoot=Default

Checkpoint 02
__WD_Post: URL=HTTP://127.0.0.1:5555/session/e8400313055f3e527203269ed8b79caa/execute/sync; Data={"script":"arguments[0].style='border: 2px dotted red; background: #FFFF66; border-radius: 5px; padding-left: 3px;'; return true;", "args":[{"element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf":""}]}

  (Session info: chrome=99.0.4844.84)
_WD_HighlightElements ==> No match [8] : Parameters:    Element=    Method=3
Checkpoint 03 ERROR IS: 8

Checkpoint 04

I'm not sure if I can use "//h1[contains(text(),'Welcome to BSS')]" or I should change h1 to * "//*[contains(text(),'Welcome to BSS')]". I don't know what h1 means, and I don't know if it's supported. How can I highlight that Welcome to BSS text?

Hi @taylansan 👋 ,

please notice ⚠ I assume such a structure:

Spoiler 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Document</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome to BSS</h1>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <div>
      <h1>Welcome to BSS</h1>
      <div>What ever</div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

 

you use _WD_FindElement() in the multi element way. The fifth parameter is set to true which means you want to get all occurences of the <h1> elements (with the specific text).

1. Either you change your XPath to only search the first element like 

(//h1[contains(text(),'Welcome to BSS')])[1]

or 2. simply set false as fifth parameter 

_WD_FindElement($sSession, $mConfig.LocatorStrategy, $sSelector, Default, False)

or 3, without the fifth parameter because the default value is false 

_WD_FindElement($sSession, $mConfig.LocatorStrategy, $sSelector, Default)

... and try again 🙂 .

-----------------------------------------

⚠ In case you are searching within an iframe, you first have to enter the frame and do your locator strategy (search) their. 

Func _EnterIFrame($sSelector)
    _WD_FrameEnter($sSession, _FindElement($sSelector))
EndFunc

Best regards
Sven
