I know when i want to scroll down to specific element in appium use the following
driver.ScrollTo(value);
but this value is changed every time and can't detect it i can not use this value to scroll until find the element, but this element is the last element in my page and number of element in the page is changed between user and another.
So, there is any other way to scroll down till the end of the page ?
Use xpath to find the element without using value(as it is dynamic)
then use that element to scroll,
WebElement element = driver.findElementByXpath("xpath_of_element");
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);
Just post the DOM of that page..i'll give you efficient xpath so even if your dom is dynamic that locator will work...
scrollToExact and scrollTo method is depricated since JAVA client version 4.0.0 (https://github.com/appium/java-client/blob/master/README.md).
You can use UiScrollable and UiSelector and their methods to scroll any page (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/test/uiautomator/UiScrollable.html).
Example of JAVA code (please edit it with C# syntax):
#AndroidFindBy (uiAutomator = "new UiScrollable(new
UiSelector()).scrollIntoView(new UiSelector().textContains(\"Question
\"))")
If you want scroll to the bottom of page, please create method that will do several steps to find last element of page, otherwise you will get an error (Element not found)
Use touch action instead
TouchAction t = new TouchAction(driver);
t.longPress(element(source)).moveTo(element(destination)).release().perform();

I have a query in windows. forms I am new to this.
I have developed a form where users can open any website from it and upon right click of any element I am displaying the element name, id, and few attribute values in a data grid. For this, I have used webbrowser control.
However, I was facing some errors for a few of the sites so I tried to move to webview2. But here comes the issue
Earlier I used to get the element using the below code
HtmlElement element = webbrowser1.Document.GetElementFromPoint(e.ClientMousePosition);
But now I am unable to retrieve an element by using webview2.
Can someone please help me with this?
You will need to use JavaScript. You will need async methods.
Then, you can get the element by passing a javeScript string.
Point p = e.ClientMousePosition;
string jElement = await webBrowser1.ExecuteScriptAsync($"document.elementFromPoint({p.X},{p.Y})");
The result is JSON. You will need to parse the result to get the element name.
I am trying to figure out the same thing.
When I inspected for a scroll bar it pointed the element .x-table-container, tried to scroll with the following code, but it's not working, is there any other solution for this?
protected void DragAndDropToVertical(IWebElement webElement, int dragValue)
{
new Actions(Driver).DragAndDropToOffset(webElement, 0, dragValue).Build().Perform();
PauseExecution(200);
}
The problem with Action chain it is usually not working when there is an iframe html in main body or element is not in view. So i think you should use Javascript Execute instead, this usually work best for me. Try it your self:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("find element with id or using what ever you want"));
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);
Thread.sleep(500);
This code will scroll until it find your element.

Scroll Element into View with Selenium
I am trying to hover over an element in a menu bar with selenium, but having difficulty locating the element. The element is displayed below :
<DIV onmouseover="function(blah blah);" class=mainItem>TextToFind</DIV>
There are multiple elements of this type so I need to find this element by TextToFind.
I've tried :
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("TextToFind"))
and
driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("TextToFind"))
which both didn't work. I even tried:
driver.FindElement(By.ClassName("mainItem"))
which also did not work. Can someone tell me what I am doing incorrectly?
You are using incorrect syntax of xpath in By.Xpath and By.LinkText works only on a element with text and By.ClassName looks ok but may be there are more elements with that class name that's why you couldn't get right element, So you should try use below provided xPath with text :-
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[text() = 'TextToFind']"));
Or
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[. = 'TextToFind']"));
Or
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[contains(., 'TextToFind')]"));
Hope it works...:)
Better ignoring the whitespaces around the text with this:
var elm = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//a[normalize-space() = 'TextToFind']"));
This searches text within an [a] element, you can replace it with any element you are interested in (div, span etc.).
I was not able to get satisfactory answer after searching on google.
So could you please guide me on this?
I have a div containing li,a,labels below it.
I am able to find the div using CssSelector by its class name.
Now inside this div I want to get a label with its text and then click on it.
The label is as belo:
<label>Sign Out</label>
How to do that ?
I have a working solution using XPath and iterating over all labels inside div, but I am unable to get it using CssSelector.
My Solution:
IWebElement menu = CurrentDriver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("div[class='menu-panel right']"));
IWebElement logoutLabel = menu.FindElement(By.XPath("//label[text()='Sign Out']"));
or
by using foreach:
var coll = menu.FindElements(By.TagName("label"));
foreach (var label in coll)
{
if(label.Text.Trim() =="Sign Out")
{
Log("Sign out was found.");
label.Click();
break;
}
}
I tried with CssSelector:
IWebElement logoutLabel = menu.FindElement(By.CssSelector(":contains('Sign Out')"));
IWebElement logoutLabel = menu.FindElement(By.CssSelector("label:contains('Sign Out')"));
IWebElement logoutLabel = menu.FindElement(By.CssSelector("label['Sign Out']"));
But these are not working.
There is a very good reason why your CSS selector wouldn't work, specifically the contains bit is where it falls over. Why?
It isn't part of the CSS selector specification, and therefore would never work.
The contains that we all know and love is actually coming from Sizzle, the CSS selector engine behind jQuery.
If you want text-based searching, you will either have to use XPath, or get a collection of those elements (using any locator you see fit) and then filter them down in code (like you have done in your foreach loop). There isn't a native CSS-style way to do "text based searching".
In terms of your current code, you will probably also fall over because XPath requires a little "poking" to tell it to search only the child elements of your current "element".
IWebElement menu = CurrentDriver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("div[class='menu-panel right']"));
IWebElement logoutLabel = menu.FindElement(By.XPath("//label[text()='Sign Out']"));
Should be:
IWebElement menu = CurrentDriver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("div[class='menu-panel right']"));
IWebElement logoutLabel = menu.FindElement(By.XPath(".//label[text()='Sign Out']"));
(Note the "." in the XPath)
Also, your foreach loop should have worked, therefore you will have to put a breakpoint in there and check exactly what is being returned by menu.FindElements(By.TagName("label"));.
You are using :contains(), which is a jQuery selector, not a CSS selector.
Apparently there is no way to achieve such thing using only CSS.

For the last two weeks I have been kind of stuck on a problem.
I am developing some web scrapers using C# and I am using a WinForms WebBrowser control in my application. I am able to fill up the web form which is opened in my browser and submit it automatically by using the following code:
HtmlElement submitButton = document.GetElementById("Element_ID″);
submitButton.InvokeMember(“click”);
So far everything is fine, but the problem is that there is one another element in the web form that I want to click too, but this element does not have any id or name so I don't know how to click this one.
Please help me as soon as possible I need it for my master thesis.
(I want to click the next page arrow button in the give website:

I've written many web-scrapers in the past using embedded WebBrowsers, so you've come to the right place.
When the element does not have a name you need to find it by either content, or another associated element that is named.
In the first instance we wrote helper methods to iterate the hierachy looking for a specific piece of content within an element.
For the second option you get the named element and use a specific index for the desired child.
A combination of both (find a specific parent then look for a child with the right content)
In your specific example webpage, the next page anchor has a class type of "arrow next" you can search for.
You could do
HtmlElement next_arrow = document.GetElementsByTagName("a")
.Cast<HtmlElement>()
.Where(e => e.GetAttribute("class") == "arrow next")
.FirstOrDefault();
if (next_arrow != null)
{
next_arrow.InvokeMember("click");
}
Here's a trick, not by InvokeMember("click") rather just "simulating the click" -
this is the link for the first page:

as you see page=0; clicking next, gives the link -
gelbeseiten.de/yp/11//subscriberlist_pageAction.yp?sessionDataString=H4sIAAAAAAAAAI2PQU/DMAyFf00vmzLFdprE8gkmwTggEENcp3RNxxh0o-pmA8euJBlO1G0-p-pvCf58zNwUzW-pDKyQalSmckExl6DqJpKnPCEuVbDaYFUvBcEIFXgVu1Ws2nV6Xac-pZn89X5xFwoed2MvQbmI73rf1eL4L3SakFFsJOBpnzcJbte9W4hSI-pQ/S912oY4qhWz5LDSC992Dl/QR60ahPki2OZKeNfCgiba18oicmLV8lTcoS8t6BJ8zsHMo3yEU1VE1D1ZmWm7Tt-psXxtNwCMmjS4BhJ7oDAy72WR5CH/MT0l1HQEVa46QDK2Z/JsTyhcdIAWrZeGy8/k7LJ5YQBAAA-e&page=1&filterTrade=-&filterFunction=-&sortBy=sort_trade&availableLetters=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW
now page=1
and so on... in general clicking next means page=(x+1) clicking prev means page=(x-1). so build a string according the requirements. this addresses ur problem, however there are some other data also sent with querystring, that u have to append to the string as well.
