¿Cómo hago visible un elemento en Selenium Webdriver?

How do I make an element visible in selenium Webdriver?

visibility=’visible’;”; ((JavascriptExecutor) yourWebDriverInstance). executeScript(js, elem); The above bunch would change the visibility of your file input control.

To click() on the element with text as App Configuration you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

1. linkText : driver.findElement(By.linkText(“App Configuration”)).click();
2. cssSelector : driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“a[href=’/docs/configuration’]”)).click();

1 When locator is incorrect, selenium webdriver throws “NoSuchElementException”. Above exception says, webdriver is able to locate element, but not able to click on desired element or element is not visible. 2 But your locator might be wrong as well in case of nested web element. 3 Another example: An input box is inside a span.

When I fill a form, checkboxes are added to the page depending the forms inputs. I’d like to simulate a click on those checkboxes using Selenium. The element are visible and usable in a regular browser but, selenium asserts that the elements are not visible. Can I force selenium to ignore the non-visible state of the elements?

You need to perform an action on web element which shows up in visible area when user scroll down. Webdriver generally auto scrolls to element and perform desired operations. Sometimes, webdriver is not able to do so. In this case, you might get element not visible or element is not clickable (if action is click).

You are confused why is it so? When locator is incorrect, selenium webdriver throws “NoSuchElementException”. Above exception says, webdriver is able to locate element, but not able to click on desired element or element is not visible. But your locator might be wrong as well in case of nested web element.

Handle Hidden division Pop Up :

1. Navigate to : https://chercher.tech/practice/hidden-division-popup.
2. Click on View Pop-Up button.
3. Application opens a Model.
4. Write xpath for the Name text bar : //input[@type=’text’]
5. Send text for the Name, using sendKeys in selenium.

JavaScriptExecutor in Selenium provides two methods through which we can run JavaScript on the selected window or the current page. This method executes JavaScript in the context of the currently selected window or frame in Selenium. The script will be executed as the body of an anonymous function.

1. isDisplayed() The isDisplayed method in Selenium verifies if a certain element is present and displayed. If the element is displayed, then the value returned is true.
2. isSelected() This method is often used on radio buttons, checkboxes or options in a menu.
3. isEnabled() This method verifies if an element is enabled.

Let’s understand how to use Selenium findElement in various ways:

1. Find by ID. ID is uniquely defined for each element and is the most common way to locate elements using ID Locator.
2. Find by Name.
3. Find By LinkText.
4. Find By CSS Selector.
5. Find By XPath.

isDisplayed() The isDisplayed method in Selenium verifies if a certain element is present and displayed. If the element is displayed, then the value returned is true. If not, then the value returned is false. The code below verifies if an element with the id attribute value next is displayed.

There are 6 different types of Pop-ups available in Selenium that are: Alert & confirmation. File upload. Hidden division.

However, Selenium does allow you to execute Javascript within the context of an element, so you could write Javascript to perform the click event even if it is hidden. My preference is to always try and perform the actions to make the button visible overflow: hidden doesn’t neccesrely mean that it is hidden. – Erki M. Mar 2 ’14 at 23:21

NoSuchELementException occurs when the element which you are trying to fetch through its locators is overlapping with a similar type of element. So, at one instance you can handle it by finding the index.

Recently Updated – January 16, 2017. As defined in WebDriver spec, Selenium WebDriver will only interact with visible elements, therefore the text of an invisible element will always be returned as an empty string.

An easy way to find a difference between the two is open up each element and copy paste all attributes into something like notepad++ to auto compare them. Once you find what the difference is you should use that as the second part of your xpath instead of type=’hidden’.
