webdriverio/webdriverio

A Node.js bindings implementation for the W3C WebDriver protocol

@J-JRC

This is what I put in the custom command

  browser.execute(
    function(selector) {
      var targetNode = document.querySelector(selector);
      var hoverEvent = new MouseEvent("mouseover", {
        bubbles: false,
        cancelable: true
      });  
      targetNode.dispatchEvent(hoverEvent);
    },
    selector
  );

Is there a way to wrap all element commands? I have an issue with a single browser where I randomly get a popup complaining about certs. The Browser is Win7 IE11, and the implication is that the element commands generate a /execte W3C request which will occasionally return a HTTP 500. I would like to wrap the commands and try to catch this specific error and force a retry. Unfortunately, dealing with the underlying cert issue is not possible and this seems to be the easiest option I can think of. I can wrap all my tests in a try-catch to handle it, but that is a lot of rework as I will have to change every test.

The specific error looks like this in selenium logs:
17:48:55.280 DEBUG - sun.net.www.MessageHeader@b6db216 pairs: {null: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error}{Content-Length: 235}{Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8}{Vary: Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, Accept}{Accept-Ranges: bytes}{Connection: close} 17:48:55.281 INFO - To downstream: {"sessionId":"91146b96-7c25-4d1c-a679-063c4683dfae","status":26,"value":{"alert":{"text":"Revocation information for the security certificate for this site is not available. Do you want to proceed?"},"message":"Modal dialog present"}}

The modal seems to be dismissed or accepted immediately since in my testing, there are no other window handles available when this happens. It just causes some tests to bomb out unnecessarily. Open to any other ideas on how to handle this, but I think the easiest way is to add a try-catch around the test and retry on this specific error. But I do not want to override each element command individually.

To those interested, I solved by writing a generic overwrite function and registered it to multiple overwrite commands:

  /* Overwrite default element command behaviour to fix IE issues */
  function overwriteFunction(origFunction, ...args) {
    try {
        // attempt to execute Original function
        return origFunction(...args);
    } catch (err) {
        if (err.message.includes('Modal dialog present')) {
            console.warn('WARN: Element', this.selector, 'threw an error and we are retrying.')
            return origFunction(...args);
        }
        throw err
    }
  };
  browser.overwriteCommand('scrollIntoView', overwriteFunction, true);
  browser.overwriteCommand('$', overwriteFunction, true);
  browser.overwriteCommand('getAttribute', overwriteFunction, true);
  browser.overwriteCommand('getText', overwriteFunction, true);
  browser.overwriteCommand('getLocation', overwriteFunction, true);

Daljit Singh

@daljit08_gitlab

if am creating config file and its asking me "? Do you want to run WebdriverIO commands synchronous or asynchronous? async" and in my test i use async and await. but in my config files it does not mentioned that it should run in synchronous or asynchronous way. So how webdriver know ?

GYANENDRA PANDEY

setValue | keys command?

It's not working, due to keyboard enabled here- i faced same issue in appium/java also and resolve using this- driver.getKeyboard().sendKeys("jschwartz"); But, i didn't found anything here, how to handle this thing.

Hi all, I am having some issues with modals in headless chrome not working properly. As a test I set this up:

describe("test", function() {
    it("test", function() {
        browser.url("https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/components/modal/");
        browser.debug();
    })
})

if I take a screenshot of that page then I just get a blank page. However, in non-headless mode it works fine.
Any ideas?

@Ranjithsamalla seems that your Appium setup is not correct

@nitinWFH can you explain what you want to “connect”?

Is this warning suppressable?

[0-0] RUNNING in chrome - /tests/specs/basic.js
[0-0] Warning! Unsupported expect lib is used.
Only Jasmine >= 3.3.0 and Jest's expect are supported.
expect-webdriverio is assigned to global.expectWdio

I imagine if I let the native assertion library use expect that'd be fine, but I like using that instead of chai.expect

@ofindley , that {reverse:true} parameter syntax is only for v6. For v5 it's $(selector).waitForExist(ms, reverse, error) (documentation: https://v5.webdriver.io/docs/api/element/waitForExist.html)

Hello. Is there any way to match in case insensitive mode. I'm thinking of iframe(src*='ExampleApp') which is sometimes served as exampleapp, sometimes as ExampleApp.

Olga

@osmolyar

@Lecale, how about iframe(src*='xample') :D There is also an 'or' syntax for xpaths, match a or b

Hi All i'm a bit new to the 'setting up' of automation frameworks. I've got an electron desktop app which I've configured to run spectron which under the hood accesses webdriverIO. Now i've used webdriver before i.e I recall the browser object. Reading online the browser object is application.client.

My automation test access the webdriverIO functions which is awesome! The only problem is. The intelisense for webdriverIO in spectron application.client does not show in VSCode for methods like element(), .getText(), pause(). The things native to webdriverIO how do I get them to appear to the programmer?

Lecale

@Lecale

but risky to cut out parts of the src tag unfortunately

Martijn Kuhlemeier

@martijnhjk

Hey, does anyone know if you can define custom matchers for expect-webdriverio? there is no mention about it here: https://webdriver.io/docs/api/expect.html

Erwin Heitzman

@erwinheitzman

Not sure but quite likely as it's just an extension @martijnhjk I'd just try it out as it's the fastest way to an answer to that question

12 replies

@kraggerz not sure if I am right on this but I think you need to extend you app with the WebdriverIO types

Olga

@osmolyar

@Lecale then you can try the xpath 'or' syntax; iframe(src='ExampleApp') or iframe(src='exampleapp')

Lecale

@Lecale

okay, i will try that. Is it in the webdriverio docs? I don't find it.

Erwin Heitzman

@erwinheitzman

@Lecale sounds like a nice thing to fix in the frontend code rather then to create a workaround in the test ;)

Lecale

@Lecale

tell me about it :)

Olga

@osmolyar

@Lecale it's not in the webdriverio docs; just basic xpath operators: https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xpath_operators.asp.
But actually something like this might be better:

 //iframe[contains(lower-case(@src), ‘exampleapp’)]
