I have a need to click on plain texts a few times to activate a module.My code is
FOR ${index} IN RANGE 6
Log ${index}
Wait and Click Element text='SNAPSHOT'
END
And html block is
<div _ngcontent-lxw-c204=""><span _ngcontent-lxw-c204="">Versio: 5.8.4-SNAPSHOT</span><span _ngcontent-lxw-c204="" class="Test-version"></span><!----></div>
But always the error is cannot find the text .
From the code snippet, I would suggest doing it like this. Instead of using text attribute, I would use XPath expression.
Click Element //*[contains(text(), "SNAPSHOT")]
I don't know the keyword Wait and Click Element. Can you please provide me with more info about this keyword?

I want to be able to know exactly which element from a class has been clicked. I enabled the text option in Tag Manager:
But it's still not visible in the click object. But it wouldn't pick it up, since the tag containing the text is nested in the clickable element. Can I add a custom HTML attribute to be able to identify which element has been clicked?
<div class="card-content"> //<---- clickable element
<i aria-hidden="true" class="card-icon material-icons">business</i>
<h3 class="card-title">Company details</h3> //<--- clicked text
</div>
The best way to figure it out is to use the "Preview & Debug":
Activate it
Go to the page where you want to test (you should see now a new box at the bottom)
Click on the element
Check the variables in the debug box. Especially check the click.element data.
My guess is that since there is no "real" text in the div box, just children tags, no text can be discovered.
There are different options to solve it:
add the text as data-attribute to the div and use the click.element data
use a data-layer push event
if you know JS you can use the click.element data in a JS variable and traverse down to the h3
If you are going to keep your code as it is, you could create a custom variable, using Custom JavaScript.
In order to do so you need to first create the custom variable, choosing the Custom JavaScript type:
This code should do the job (I tested id)
function() {
return {{Click Element}}.closest('.card-content').getElementsByClassName('card-title')[0].innerText;
}
The custom variable will return the text inside .card-title.
To test the custom variable, you may create a dumb HTML tag with a console.log script, replacing Inside TXT with the name you gave to your custom variable:
<script>console.log( {{Inside TXT}} )</script>
The trigger should be a Click All Elements.
When previewing this tag, the captured text should appear in your console, as well as in the debugger panel.
Reading again your question, I wonder if you are going to have several .card-title items inside the .card-content. In that case, this custom variable will not work. Let me know what is the case.
Also, the code could be simpler, but I am not really sure on how is it really going to work in your site, so this one seems more reliable, since it works clicking anywhere in the element.
EDIT:
In order to test it, after you click an element, a new "Click" will appear in the left pane (Summary). There, in the Variables tab, you will see the variables captured by the click. The data will be stored under the variable name you gave to the variable.
I am trying to click on Href link but with no success.
This is the HTML of the page I am trying to click:
And here is the code that I tryed to use.
Welcome Page Should Be Open
Location Should Be ${WELCOME URL}
Title Should Be OrangeHRM
Click Link id=welcome
Wait Until Element Is Visible id=welcome-menu 8
#Click Link href=https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/index.php/auth/logout
Click Link xpath://a{test()='logout'}
I tried with "href" and "xpath", but both give the error:
No keyword with name XXXXXX found.
Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
The error is because you only have a single space between Click Link and the xpath. You need two or more spaces to separate a keyword from its arguments.
Also, xpath://a{test()='logout'} is not a valid xpath expression. You need to change the curly braces to square brackets, and change test to text. You also need to change logout to Logout.
xpath://a[text()='Logout']
For Click Link, you can also just specify the link text or href, for example:
Click Link Logout
I try to use Click Element id=elementid in Robotframework.I have Selenium2 Library.I have a Menu collapsible.See little arrow on Entity 1 on first print screen.I try to identify the element id.I cannot see element id when I inspect this.I see only jotid that I do not think is the same.So, I am not able to use click element in order to expand my menu.I appreciate anyone's help as I am still learner.Please see also the images of a) Code, Menu, Inspected Element
You can also find it using xpath, so:
Click Element | //li[#wuid="gx:309..."]
jotid is not id, so you cannot locate it by id.
You could try keyword:
Click Link ENTITY 1 -Introduction
or find it by css:
Click element css=a[jotid='wuid:gx:4286...<the rest of it>']
I am using Simple HTML Dom to extract information from a remote source. I would like to get all href links that contain a particular piece of text (not all on a page). I have tried
->find('a[href*="/place"]')
and
->find('a[href="/place"*]')
and
->find('a[href="/place*"]')
but this returns empty results.
The href I am trying to get must begin with the text "/place".
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Match elements that have the specified attribute and it starts with a certain value, use [attribute^=value].
->find('a[href^="/place"]')
Ref: http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/manual.htm#frag_find_attr
I do not now this app, however did you try using the asterisk like so ?
>find('a[href="/place*"]')
I am using Robot Framework with Selenium2Library for website tests automation. My HTML Value is
<select class="autoWidth m![Element Locator Error][1]inWidth" id="ctl00_ResultPanePlaceHolder_ctl00_ctl02_ctl01_contentContainer_ddlLanguage" name="ctl00$ResultPanePlaceHolder$ctl00$ctl02$ctl01$contentContainer$ddlLanguage">
<option value=![enter image description here][2]"1118">አማርኛ (ኢትዮጵያ)</option>
I am using cmd
Click Element id=ctl00_ResultPanePlaceHolder_ctl00_ctl02_ctl01_contentContainer_ddlLanguage
I am getting
value error: Element locator did not match any element.
How to fix this issue.
Most likely your element is inside an iframe. Look through the html to see if you see <iframe ...> before the element you are trying to click. If so, you first need to use Select Frame before trying to click on the element.
You should need to use id= as ID is one of the default attributes it looks for. Is it possible to see some more of the html code surrounding the element you are after?
