Re: [Dev] Sending keys to invisible UI element in Selenium

2016-06-21 Thread Megala Uthayakumar 
Hi,

After setting the display of the file element to block it worked.

((JavascriptExecutor) webDriver).executeScript("document.getElementById('
selected-file').style.display=*'block''';*");

Thanks Rasika for offline suggestions.

Thanks.

Regards,
Megala

Hi Rasika,

Thanks for suggestion. I already tried those. But still I am getting the
same error. I doubt it is because of the file-upload-control class in the
the parent div.

Thanks.

Megala

Re: [Dev] Sending keys to invisible UI element in Selenium

2016-06-21 Thread Rasika Perera 
Hi Megala,

As [1] says, sending keys to a hidden element is a special use case.
Selenium throws this exception because such that in real scenario user
isn't entering text into hidden inputs as such. Hence "file input" should
be treated as a special case. You may also need to enable a File Detector
if you are uploading to a remote server as in [2].

In provided code sample, It has no inline code to set the element hidden.
May be external css/js making it hidden.

You may need to make the element visible and apply sendKeys().

((JavascriptExecutor) webDriver).executeScript("document.getElementById('
selected-file').style.display='';");
//.apply sendKeys()
((JavascriptExecutor) webDriver).executeScript("document.getElementById('
selected-file').style.display='none';");

[Dev] Sending keys to invisible UI element in Selenium

2016-06-21 Thread Megala Uthayakumar 
Hi All,

I am trying to write a UI test case in selenium which requires to send the
keys to invisible file element in UI. In a normal scenario, user selects
the file using a file browser and when the user selects a file, the
selected file will be automatically passed to that file UI element.
Following is the code fragment that is used for this purpose. In this I
need to send keys to element with id "selected-file".







<%= i18n.localize("browse")%>





<%= i18n.localize("upload")%>




 Selenium finds this element but it does not allow to send the keys by
throwing and exception "Element is not currently visible and so may
not be interacted with". How can I write a test case for this
scenario?

Any helps on this is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Regards,

Megala
