capybara - Clicking a button without an id - button

I'm trying to to click the button in this html code
<div class="modal-footer"><button class="btn" data-dismiss="modal">Kapat</button></div>
I've already tried find with various combinations, the closest I came to success was with this code:
click_on "Kapat"
The problem is that there are 3 copies of the same button in the page, so my question is; is there a way to specify this particular div ?

If the button has a specific path, you could use within or a find down to that path, but that path to the element would have to be unique in the page or you end up with the same problem (though, I believe using :xpath would give you a bit more flexibility here).
within ".modal-footer" do
click_on "Kapat"
end
within ".another-selector" do
click_on "Kapat"
end

Get text of clicked button in Google Analytics

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.

How do I locate elements in protractor that are in other views and are not visible when viewing page source

I am new to Angular & Protractor (and web development for that matter), so I apologize of this is an obvious question.
I am trying to test our angular app with protractor, and it appears that I can locate the first element on the page. But cannot find any of the other elements using (id, name, model, css). I have tried chaining off of the first element, but always get the element not found error on the second element in the chain. I've have triple check the spelling so I am confident everything is correct.
Our page is setup up with multiple sections and when I "view source" I only see the root div.
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div ng-app="app" id="wrap">
<div ui-view></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
But when I inspect the elements using the developer tools (F12), they exist in the DOM, I just don't know how to get to them.
<input type="text" class="form-control ng-valid ng-dirty ng-valid-parse ng-touched" data-ng-model="vm.searchText" id="searchText" placeholder="(Account # / Name / Nickname / Phone #)">
I tried to access the control listed above using the following:
browser.element(by.id("searchText").sendKeys("test");
browser.element(by.model("vm.searchText").sendKeys("test");
element(by.id("searchText").sendKeys("test");
element(by.model("vm.searchText").sendKeys("test");
I also create a single button and used partialButtonText & buttonText, neither of which worked.
I also tried to add some async functionality with "then" but that didn't work either. How do I access these elements are are not contained in a single html file?
thanks.....
If an element is not visible, I believe protractor isnt able to interact with it. It can't click or get text or anything if it is not visible, that is actually checked before it can perform the action.
What you can do is check the element is present to ensure it is somewhere on the html.
var searchText = $('#searchText');
expect(searchText.isPresent()).toBeTruthy('Search Text element not present');
This will find an element with a css selector of id searchText, and then check if it is present(exists on the html).
If you want to interact with it, remember that protractor looks around like a human would. If a human cant click it, neither can protractor! Make sure it is on the page and visible.
Don't have the reputation points to add this in the comments to user2020347's response so...When you say not in "view source" I assume you're talking about dynamically generated content. Instead of using view source either use chrome or firefox developer tools to make sure you're using the right locators.
For example in chrome's console the following should return a result once the page is loaded:
$$('#searchText')
$$('input[data-ng-model="vm.searchText"]')
It also looks like you're sending keys to the same element.
Since you have an angular app protractor should wait for all elements to load, but just in case you might want to wait for the element to be present and/or visible on the page.
Same happened to me, because Protractor executed on the original (first) tab.
Try to switch between the tabs before accessing the elements:
browser.getAllWindowHandles().then(function (handles) {
browser.driver.switchTo().window(handles[1]);
});

Nightwatch Cannot Find/Click on Dropdown Option

I'm a backpacker and a programmer, trying to use the second skill to find openings in a full campsite. Rather than crawling fro scratch, I'm using the end-to-end testing framework nightwatch.js to navigate for me.
I've hit a roadblock, because nightwatch is having difficulty finding a specific element using css selectors.
Here are the elements and page:
Here is my test code:
Previous Attempts
My test code will click on the selection box with #permitTypeId. It will see that #permitTypeId option is visible. It will not see or click on any of the options when more specific values are specified. The five .click()'s are all css selectors I've already tried. None of the options are set to display:hidden or display:none. I have also tried all of the above without the .waitForElementToBeVisible() just in-case the waiting causes the dropdown to hide.
I've successfully clicked options from different dropdown menus on this website without any problem. Just this one is causing a headache.
The tests are running with the most current Selenium server and Firefox on Mac Yosemite.
tl;dr
Nightwatch.js/Selenium won't click on something from a dropdown menu.
The Path...
Cory got me thinking about jQuery and native DOM manipulation. Tried going that route and was successful selecting the correct option using Selenium's .execute() function:
.execute('document.getElementById("permitTypeId").options[1].selected=true')
However, it was not triggering the onchange event.
Saw this post which made me start thinking about using key-strokes and this one which suggested using arrow-keys to navigate down a <select> element to the option, then hitting enter.
...to the Solution
.click('select[id=permitTypeId]')
.keys(['\uE015', '\uE006'])
I've found that this is an issue with Firefox. Chrome and PhantomJS operate well clicking <option> tags.
you should be able to click like this way
browser.click('select[id="permitTypeId"] option[value="1451140610"]')
Additionally I was able to add a .click event for the specific option once I did a .click for the select. see my example below:
.click('select[name="timezone"]')
.pause(1000)
.click('option[value="America/Chicago"]') //selects the option but doesn't click
.pause(5000)
.keys(['\uE006']) //hits the enter key.
another solution:
.click('select[id="permitTypeId"]')
.waitForElementVisible("option[value='1451140610']")
.click("option[value='1451140610']")
Very simple way is to use .setValue('#element', 'value of option')

ng-animate : conditionally switching "back" transition (BUG?)

Hi everyone,
reading through this google group and the fiddles and blogpost linked from there, I managed to get page transitions working with ng-animate.
Here's my Fiddle
the fiddle is nicely commented, please let me know if anything's unclear
By setting a 'transitionClass' (either .LR or .RL) on the ng-view I was able to trigger different css-transitions for every view change.
Now, what I want to do, is manually applying a "back" transition in case of changing the view one step back, no matter whether that step back is caused by a link within the app or the browser's back button.
To do so, within app.run(), I'm listening for $locationChangeStart, saving the current url slug and then checking against it on the next $locationChangeStart to determine whether we're going back one page. If that's the case, the "back" transition is applied.
This works pretty well, except for...
The entering page (.page-enter, .page-enter-active) is transitioning as expected, while the leaving page (.page-leave, .page-leave-active) seems to be stuck on the previously used transition.
I'd expect, setting a transitionClass 'LR' on the ng-view, that both pages, entering and leaving, use the css transition for '.LR page-enter' and 'LR page-leave'.
What seems to happen instead: If the transitionClass was 'ANY' before, the ng-animate will use '.LR page-enter' for the entering page and '.ANY page-leave' for the leaving page.
Reproducing the 'bug':
App starts on Page 1. Go from 1 to 2. Now go from 2 to 3, this transition is broken. Go from 3 to 1, this transition works as expected. Both transitions are 'RL' (Right To Left), so they should look the same. The only difference being that page 2 enters 'LR' while page 3 enters 'RL'. So, actually, page 1 will use the '.enter-active' transition that was originally set for page 3 when changing from 2 to 3.
Is this the expected behavior?
I'm majorly confuzzled right now, but only working with angular for the last week or so and ng-animate being relatively new feature I might very well be missing something. So before reporting a bug or anything I'd welcome any input on this.
Thanks!
Ok, so based on the comments I'm pretty sure you want the incoming page to also determine exit animations to apply to the outgoing page. So you really need your $locationChange code.
It also looks like the problem you are seeing is that you are setting a class on the parent independently on the incoming page but there is nothing to keep the animations waiting for this class change to occur.
The simplest fix seems to be to make the ng-animate depend on your changing variable to determine the animation class names:
<ng-view ng-animate="transitionClass"></ng-view>
then the CSS selectors just collapse into single classes:
.LR-enter-active {
...
}
(where transitionClass is still being set on the $rootScope in the locationChangeStart:)
$rootScope.$on("$locationChangeStart", function (event, next, current) {
...

How to use seleniumRC in Junit framework on dynamically changing elementids

I am trying to automate a work flow process .In this,I need to click on a link positioned in any of the rows of table.Thing is all links available in all rows have same element ID and in the source code I have a java script like " ("Element ID" # Onclick..java script****:).....SO here after clicking it is connecting one form to another form by inputting some value in java script code and also one value in java script dynamically changes.How do I click on that link now?Is there any solution using xpath or so...to exactly click on that link based on CSS classID or so...Please help me out..Main problem is...all links in rows have same element ID and dynamically changing java script .
I am trying to use selenium.focus() and selenium.clickAndwait().But these are helpless.as it is not able to identify link ID only.
The best way to do this would be with xpath.
Something like //*[#onclick='javascript'] will work but this can make the tests extremely flaky because if the inline javascript changes or if its removed in preference of addEventListener to the element.
something like //*[#class='cssClass'] will work. I think that you will need to speak to the developers and ask them to help make it more testable.
