eaiautomatontools.actions.fill_element

Present the action utilities for Selenium automaton. The fill_element method try to locate an element and fill it with the value. We assume the element can receive a text. It will raise an exception if it's not the case.

Background

Launch a test web server serving controlled web pages on localhost port 8081

Use the python resources server.

>>> from eaiautomatontools.resources.app import Server

>>> myserver = Server()

>>> myserver.start()
...

Instantiate a web driver using the eaiautomatontools.browserServer

>>> from eaiautomatontools.browserServer import BrowserServer

>>> myWebDriver = BrowserServer()

Use a default browser such as Chrome in 32 bit version

>>> myWebDriver.browser_name = "chrome"

Serve the web driver

>>> myWebDriver.serve()
<BLANKLINE>
0

Open the form test page

>>> myWebDriver.go_to("http://localhost:8081/forms.html")
0

Import the find_element tool

>>> from eaiautomatontools.finders import find_element

Import the fill_element tool

>>> from eaiautomatontools.actions import fill_element

Nominal case: give a web driver, give a valid field

Retrieve the name input textfield.

>>> myElement = find_element(driver=myWebDriver.webdriver, field={"type":"id","value":"name"})

Look at its value. It's empty.

>>> myElement.get_attribute("value")
''

Fill the textfield with the value "my name"

>>> fill_element(driver=myWebDriver.webdriver, field={"type":"id", "value":"name"},value="my name")
0

Check the textfield has been updated.

>>> myElement = find_element(driver=myWebDriver.webdriver, field={"type":"id","value":"name"})

>>> myElement.get_attribute("value")
'my name'

Assertion cases

>>> fill_element(field={"type":"id", "value":"name"},value="my name")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: Driver is expected

Incorrect type key value.

>>> fill_element(driver=myWebDriver.webdriver, field={"type":"idl", "value":"name"},value="my name")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: The field type is not one the expected: '('id', 'name', 'class_name', 'link_text', 'css', 'partial_link_text', 'xpath', 'tag_name')

Incorrect keys value.

>>> fill_element(driver=myWebDriver.webdriver, field={"typ":"id", "value":"name"},value="my name")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
KeyError: "The field argument doesn't contains either the 'type' or 'value' key."

>>> fill_element(driver=myWebDriver.webdriver, field={"type":"id", "val":"name"},value="my name")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
KeyError: "The field argument doesn't contains either the 'type' or 'value' key."

Exception case

>>> fill_element(driver=myWebDriver.webdriver, field={"type":"id", "value":"lab-name"},value="my name")
1

The element can't be found

>>> fill_element(driver=myWebDriver.webdriver, field={"type":"id", "value":"lab-nam"},value="my name")
1
