Extract Image Id from profile picture

Python Newbie — 2012-05-21T06:02:55

Hi all,

I need an urgent help for the issue described below.I am automating a
project using selenium python bindings

Scenario : creating a new member with a profile picture and add this
member to a group.Then check whether the profile picture given to the
member at the time of profile creation is the same when it appears in
the friends list

For this I would like to compare the image Ids at the time of profile
creation and in the friends list?

I have found out the image id using firebug.Image Id is given inside
a
<div><a class=........Imageid=234563453.....................>

But how can I extract this Image Id from the <a class>?

print self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("")._getattribute_(ImageId)

Can anybody provide me the code to extract this Imageid from <a
class> ???

how to run webdriverjs from browser without need of webdriver server

ejaenv — 2012-05-21T16:59:10

(I posted it also in selenium-users but without answer)

Hello all,

Is there anyway/future plan to run webdriverjs from the browser without 
needing a webdriver server?

I've given  webdriverjs a try from a browser and I've verified that it 
needs the webdriver server. 


In the wikipage it says as future work:
 



Does this executor mean that it doesn't require the webdriver server? If 
so, I'd like to learn more about AutomationAtoms, and give it a try and 
contribute somehow. Where can I get more information?

Selenium Contributions

Conrad Warmbold — 2012-05-23T23:48:41

Hi there... I've had to 'extend' Selenium to help process some testing
and I think it'd be worthwhile to push this development back.  How can
I get started?

Namely, widget manipulation, popup management, and batch processing so
far... but I've just started.

Release of new PHP Selenium WebDriver Client

Job Santiago — 2012-05-12T00:11:25

Hi everyone

Our team just released a  PHP library for webdriver. We started this
project in January 2012.

It is available at git hub https://github.com/Nearsoft/PHP-SeleniumClient

Inspired by the official libraries, one of the goals is to provide a
client usage as close as possible to them.

We invite you to get a look at it. We included unit testing, plus two
basic usage demos.

This library is actively in use in one of our client's projects

We hope this become very handy for many QA developers.

Cheers!

How to do changes in the source code of selenium

hemshankar sahu — 2012-05-20T08:59:45

Hi all,

I want to modify the source code of selenium so that it produces code
(that I want in Perl or java) for each event (like click or type)
instead of what if normally produces (when we export it in Perl or
Java).


Please help me regarding this as this will help me to a great extent
in developing my selenium scripts.

Also please mention at least the steps which I need to follow to start
working in this direction.

What I feel is the following:

1. Download the source code of the Selenium.
2. Find the code which performs some action when we do something in
the Web page (like click).
3. Modify those codes as per the reimbursement of logs, codes etc to
be developed.


Out of the above 3 steps I am able to do the first (Only down loading
the source code of the selenium) but I am not able to figure out which
part of the code is responsible for the step 2 (above) as that I can
perform the step 3.

Please help me regarding this.

Thanks
Hemshankar Sahu

fileDetector in RemoteWebElement

Graham — 2012-05-23T15:23:39


All, 
We have a class which extends RemoteWebElement. We instantiate it with a valid identifier and can interact with the object [click etc] but when we try to use sendKeys() we get a NPE. Having stepped into the code the NPE is being thrown on the first line: 
    File localFile = fileDetector.getLocalFile(keysToSend);

    if (localFile == null) {      execute(DriverCommand.SEND_KEYS_TO_ELEMENT, ImmutableMap.of("id", id, "value", keysToSend));      return;    }

For us the fileDector is null and I can't see where it gets set or in fact 
whether it needs to be set since it subsequently branches based on whether 
the localFile outcome is null or not? 


Can someone shed some light on this?

thanks,
graham

Let's move hudsuckr.exe out of the selenium distribution

Alexei Barantsev — 2012-05-22T19:38:04

Hi, all,

Let's move hudsuckr.exe out of the selenium distribution.
It's detected as malware by some antivirus (Kaspersky, DrWeb). Yes, may be 
it is a false positive but it is not very easy to explain this to a 
security department.
We can distribute it as a standalone executable that should be downloaded 
independently by users who really need it.

SelGrid 1.0 websites are misleading

Paul Grandjean — 2012-05-21T23:58:27

Hey everyone,

Has anyone considered taking the old Sel-Grid 1.0 website offline?  Or
rewriting it?

I noticed that when I google Selenium-Grid I get the old 1.0 websites.
 This was confusing at first but I figured it out quickly.  Yet, I have a
collegue at another company where this really confused her team since they
are new to Selenium and don't know all the history.  So.....

Has anyone considered taking these offline?

Paul

SSL Performance: still slow (sometimes)?

Patrick Lightbody — 2012-05-16T03:46:46

Gang - I know we had a recent issue with SSL performance being very slow in Selenium 2.20, but we're finding that sometimes it is still extremely poor. I posted a pretty detailed question to StackOverflow, but also hoping maybe Simon or Kevin or Santi have some ideas:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10611702/why-does-ssl-handshaking-sometimes-kill-my-cpu

We're definitely using Se 2.21 and bcprov 1.47, so really not sure what's going on.

Java 5 support

Simon Stewart — 2012-05-14T10:37:56

Hi everyone,

We currently target Java 5 as the oldest supported version of Java.
That was EOL'd by Sun (now Oracle) in 2009:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html

We've been continuing to target it because some corporate users of
selenium find updates to JREs particularly taxing, and because none of
our direct dependencies are using Java 6 specific features. As of
version 12, guava-libraries is moving to be Java 6+. We use that
library for an awful lot of stuff in numerous drivers, including the
OperaDriver, which isn't in the core project.

Because of this, I suggest we move to targeting Java 6 as the oldest
supported version of Java. Does anyone have any strong disagreements?

.NET: ChromeDriver does not clean up

Vadim Chekan — 2012-05-11T22:52:32

Hi all,

I noticed that ChromeDriver does not clenup after itself when
Dispose() is called. Browser and chromedriver.exe remains if test
quits on error and driver's Quit() wasnt called by test code. This is
a) wrong b) differs from Firefox, which does cleanup after itself.

Below is a patch to deal with the issue.

Vadim.

Adding a WebDriver reference to WebDriverException

Alexei Barantsev — 2012-05-10T05:58:31

Hi, all,

I have a suggestion: let's add to WebDriverException a reference to the 
WebDriver object that raised (directly or indirectly) this exception.

It should allow to enrich error messages with the information about the 
driver (its type and capabilities).

What do you think?

Question about sending chromium logging to something other than System.err in ChromeDriverService

Ian Simpson — 2012-05-09T23:53:58

I'm putting together a Grid bundle for internal use at my employers, and 
one of the things I've done is pointed everything towards log4j since it's 
currently our standardized tech for logging.  

One thing though that I can't get to print within log4j is the output from 
chromium process invocations.  From what I can gather this is due to the 
following code in ChromeDriverService:

public void start() throws IOException {

    lock.lock();

    try {

      if (process != null) {

        return;

      }

      process = new CommandLine(this.executable, args);

      process.setEnvironmentVariables(environment);

      *process.copyOutputTo(System.err);*

      process.executeAsync();

      URL status = new URL(url.toString() + "/status");

      URL healthz = new URL(url.toString() + "/healthz");

      new UrlChecker().waitUntilAvailable(20, SECONDS, status, healthz);

    } catch (UrlChecker.TimeoutException e) {

      throw new WebDriverException("Timed out waiting for ChromeDriver 
server to start.", e);

    } finally {

      lock.unlock();

    }

  }

Is there any way that ChromeDriverService could be updated to accept a user 
supplied stream implementation or an interface that can be used in an 
internal representation of OutputStream that provides methods for the 
OutputStream to invoke?  That would make it easier to tie those logging 
messages back into log4j, slf4j, etc.

lilach — 2012-05-01T13:32:58

im trying to open googlechrome on a remote machine (windows pc) using
remoteWebDriver. my code goes like this:

   DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
   capabilities.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
   WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(server, capabilities);
    driver.get("http://www.google.com");

"Error forwarding the new session new session request for webdriver
should contain a location header with the session"

someone know how can i fix it??

thank you all..

Does anyone recommend a good Tweeter to follow who posts interesting Selenium/Webdriver info?

TimBo — 2012-04-27T23:29:48

On my Twitter, I only follow Developer friends who love to share knowledge 
wherever they find it.

Although, I havent found any Selenium Developers who do the same.  Are 
there any recommendations for Tweeters I should follow?
