Selenium Navigation

Navigating

Navigate a link with WebDriver:

driver.get("http://www.google.com")

1.Interacting with the page

Element define:
<input type="text" name="passwd" id="passwd-id" />

Find:
element = driver.find_element_by_id("passwd-id")
element = driver.find_element_by_name("passwd")
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='passwd-id']")

element.send_keys("some text")

element.send_keys(" and some", Keys.ARROW_DOWN)

element.clear()

2.Filling in forms

**SELECT tags:**
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@name='name']") //find the first “SELECT” element on the page
all_options = element.find_elements_by_tag_name("option")
for option in all_options:
	print("Value is: %s" % option.get_attribute("value"))
	option.click()	//cycle through each of its OPTIONs in turn, printing out their values, and selecting each in turn

**“Select” class: **
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
select = Select(driver.find_element_by_name('name'))
select.select_by_index(index)
select.select_by_visible_text("text")
select.select_by_value(value)

select = Select(driver.find_element_by_id('id'))
select.deselect_all()

select = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@name='name']"))
all_selected_options = select.all_selected_options

options = select.options	//To get all available options:

# Assume the button has the ID "submit" :)
driver.find_element_by_id("submit").click()

element.submit()

3.Drag and drop

element = driver.find_element_by_name("source")
target = driver.find_element_by_name("target")

from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
action_chains = ActionChains(driver)
action_chains.drag_and_drop(element, target).perform()

4.Moving between windows and frames

“switch_to_window” method:

driver.switch_to_window("windowName")

How to know the window’s name? Page Source:

<a href="somewhere.html" target="windowName">Click here to open a new window</a>

for handle in driver.window_handles:
	driver.switch_to_window(handle)

driver.switch_to_frame("frameName")	//swing from frame to frame (or into iframes)

driver.switch_to_frame("frameName.0.child")	//access subframes by separating the path with a dot, and you can specify the frame by its index 

driver.switch_to_default_content()	//come back to the parent frame

5.Popup dialogs

Access the alert with the following:

alert = driver.switch_to_alert()	//Return the currently open alert object

6.Navigation: history and location

driver.get("http://www.example.com")
driver.forward()	//move backward
driver.back()	//move forward

7.Cookies

# Go to the correct domain
driver.get("http://www.example.com")

# Now set the cookie. This one's valid for the entire domain
cookie = {‘name’ : ‘foo’, ‘value’ : ‘bar’}
driver.add_cookie(cookie)

# And now output all the available cookies for the current URL
driver.get_cookies()
