Interacting with elements in Selenium in node

Below example illustrates how to interact with elements in Selenium in Node.js
 
var assert = require(‘assert’);
var webdriver = require(‘selenium-webdriver’),
By = webdriver.By,
until = webdriver.until;

var chrome = require(“selenium-webdriver/chrome”);

var options = new chrome.Options();
options.addArguments(“start-maximized”);
options.addArguments(“test-type”);
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().
withCapabilities(options.toCapabilities()).build();

driver.get(‘https://www.softpost.org/selenium-test-page/’);

Setting data

To set the data in editbox, you can use below syntax.
 
driver.findElement(By.id(“myeditboxid”)).sendKeys(“hi”);

To select or unselect the checkbox, radiobuttons, you can use below syntax.
 
driver.findElement(By.id(“mycheckboxid”)).click();

To submit the form, use below method.
 
//submit()
driver.submit().then(function() {
console.log(“Form is submitted”);
});

To clear the data from input box, use below method.
 
//clear()

driver.findElement(By.id(“myid”)).clear().then(function() {
console.log(“myid is cleared”);
});

Sending keys

 
driver.findElement(By.id(‘fn’)).sendKeys(‘Shaun’);

driver.findElement(By.id(‘fn’)).getAttribute(‘value’).then(function(value) {
console.log(“First value entered in edit box -> ” + value);
assert(value==’Shaun’);
});

driver.findElement(By.id(‘fn’)).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id(‘fn’)).sendKeys(‘Hyden’);

driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//input[@value=’QTP’]”)).click();

//Below statement will force driver to wait for 5 seconds before performing next actions
driver.sleep(5000);

Reading data from page

To get css value of an element , use below method.
 
//getCssValue()
driver.findElement(By.id(“myid”)).getCssValue(‘width’).then(function(value) {
    console.log(“Width is ” + value);
    });
To get tag name of an element , use below method.
 
// getTagName()
 
driver.findElement(By.linkText(“Open New Window”)).getTagName().then(function(value) {
    console.log(“TagName is ” + value);
    });

To get value of an attribute of an element, use below method.
 
getAttribute(attributeName)
 
driver.findElement(By.id(“myid”)).getAttribute(‘class’).then(function(value) {
    console.log(“Class value is ” + value);
    });

To get inner text of an element, use below method.
 
driver.findElement(By.id(“myid”)).getText().then(function(value) {
    console.log(“Text is ” + value);
    });
    
 
// To check if an element is enabled or not, use below method.
// isEnabled()

driver.findElement(By.id(“myid”)).isEnabled().then(function(value) {
console.log(“is myid enabled? ” + value);
});

//To check if an checkbox or radio button is selected or not, use below method.
//isSelected()

driver.findElement(By.id(“myid”)).isSelected().then(function(value) {
console.log(“is myid selected? ” + value);
});
//To check if an element is displayed or not, use below method.
//isDisplayed()

driver.findElement(By.id(“myid”)).isDisplayed().then(function(value) {
console.log(“myid is displayed?” + value);
});

driver.findElement(By.id(‘fn’)).isEnabled().then(function(value) {
console.log(“First name edit box is enabled? -> ” + value);
assert(value==true);
});

driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//input[@value=’QTP’]”)).isSelected().then(function(value) {
console.log(“QTP checkbox is selected?-> ” + value);
assert(value==true);
});

driver.findElement(By.tagName(“p”)).getText().then(function(txt) {
console.log(“Text in first paragraph -> ” + txt);
assert(txt.toLowerCase().indexOf(“selenium”) > 0);
});
driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//input[@value=’QTP’]”)).getTagName().then(function(value) {
console.log(“tag name of QTP checkbox is -> ” + value);
assert(value==”input”);
});
driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//input[@value=’Sign up’]”)).isDisplayed().then(function(value) {
console.log(“is Sign up button displayed? -> ” + value);
assert(value==true);
});

driver.sleep(5000);

driver.quit();
