Python Selenium .click() Loads Error - Works Manually.- Events not Triggered

NSearch · (This post was last modified: Jul-28-2019, 03:12 PM by NSearch.)

I am attempting to navigate a web page with what I believe to be javascript triggers that are not being set properly when submitting (or clicking) the submit button. I have tried clicking the button by id, by name, by xpath using .click() and using ActionChains to move to and click the element. All produce the same result: the form submits, but displays "system error has been encountered". When I click the back button and click the same button manually, the form submits successfully. I believe the problem lies in the javascript triggers - although I will say that I do not have any experience sending "commands" to javascript using webdriver. Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

I have tried using webdriver for both Firefox and Chrome, with the same results.

I am starting to think it has something to do with the token.

Please help! Thank you

Below is the javascript

        
          
          
              
              function checkAndSubmit(tNumber) {      
    tNumber = tNumber.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
    var tNumberRegExp=/^(1z[0-9a-zA-Z]{16}|1Z[0-9a-zA-Z]{16}|[0-9a-zA-Z]{11})$/;
            
    if (tNumberRegExp.test(tNumber)) {              
        document.forms[0].style.visibility="hidden";   
        document.getElementById("please_wait").style.visibility="visible";   
        window.setTimeout('showProgress()', 0); 
        return true;
    }
    else {              
        document.getElementById('errorMessage').innerHTML= 'The number you entered is not valid';
        return false;           
    }   
}   
          
function showProgress(){    
    var wg = document.getElementById("pinwheel");   
    wg.src=wg.src;   
}

below is what I have so far

        
          
          
              
              driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe", options=opts)
    # tried find element by name and clicking - no luck
    # driver.find_element_by_name("tNumber").click()
    # driver.find_element_by_name("tNumber").clear()
    # driver.find_element_by_name("tNumber").send_keys(tnumber)
    # driver.find_element_by_id("request_0").click()
    #----------------------------------------------
    # tried moving to the element and clicking -- no luck 
    # submit = driver.find_element_by_id("requestGSR_0")
    # action = webdriver.common.action_chains.ActionChains(driver)
    # action.move_to_element_with_offset(submit, 1, 1)
    # action.click()
    # action.perform()
    #----------------------------------------------
    # tried the method below and does not work
    action1 = ActionChains(driver)
    tnumber_input = driver.find_element_by_name('tNumber')
    action1.move_to_element(tnumber_input).perform()
    action1.click(tnumber_input).perform()
    action1.send_keys_to_element(tnumber_input,tnumber).perform()
 
 
    action2 = ActionChains(driver)
    submit_button = driver.find_element_by_id('request_0')
    action2.move_to_element(submit_button).perform()
    action2.click(submit_button).perform()

            

        
      

I would like to be able to use webdriver to submit the "request" form and get to the right page (without the error message).

Have I provided all information that would be helpful to get assistance with this issue?

**Larz60+** · Jul-30-2019, 03:54 AM

It would be better to explain what the goal is, and the steps you perceive needed to get there.
I don't think you should have a need to write any javascript at all, and should be able to do it all with python.

NSearch · Jul-30-2019, 12:43 PM

Larz60+, thank you very much for responding -- I was beginning to believe my posts were not visible!

My goal is relatively simple or should be. I want to click this button:

Quote:<input type="submit" value="Submit" id="request_0" class="bSwan">

When I click it using the different methods in python, the form below submits, but takes me to a screen that shows an error:

Quote:<form id="request" name="request" onsubmit="return checkAndSubmit(this.tNumber.value)" action="/ebilling/request.action" method="post">

When I do the exact same thing manually, by moving my mouse and clicking it, I do not get the error and the page processes as it should.

Thank you again for your help

You dont have any waiting methods. A common error is the program goes too fast for the internet speed can load the page.

NSearch · Jul-30-2019, 01:51 PM

This is what is displayed:

Quote:Error Message
A system error has been encountered.
To try again, you may click back button or log out.
If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.

I have a wait, performed this way:

        
              submit = driver.find_element_by_id("request_0")
action = webdriver.common.action_chains.ActionChains(driver)
action.move_to_element_with_offset(submit, 1, 1)
action.click_and_hold(submit).perform()
time.sleep(.5)
action.release(submit).perform()

***metulburr*** · Jul-30-2019, 09:00 PM

why cant you just simply do submit.click() after submit is created?

        
              submit = driver.find_element_by_id("request_0")
submit.click()

NSearch · Jul-30-2019, 09:49 PM

Hi metulburr,

Did you read my post? I have tried that a variety of ways and .click() does not work.

***metulburr*** · (This post was last modified: Jul-30-2019, 10:10 PM by metulburr.)

Sorry my fault.

Is there any way we can view your full code with access to this webpage and the element you are having trouble with? Or is that not possible?

(Jul-30-2019, 12:43 PM)NSearch Wrote: When I do the exact same thing manually

Is this manually in the selenium browser or your own?

Are you passing any cookies beforehand?

        
              import requests
from selenium import webdriver
 
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
url = "some_url" #a redirect to a login page occurs
driver.get(url)
 
#storing the cookies generated by the browser
request_cookies_browser = driver.get_cookies()
 
#making a persistent connection using the requests library
params = {'os_username':'username', 'os_password':'password'}
s = requests.Session()
 
#passing the cookies generated from the browser to the session
c = [s.cookies.set(c['name'], c['value']) for c in request_cookies_browser]
 
resp = s.post(url, params) #I get a 200 status_code
 
#passing the cookie of the response to the browser
dict_resp_cookies = resp.cookies.get_dict()
response_cookies_browser = [{'name':name, 'value':value} for name, value in dict_resp_cookies.items()]
c = [driver.add_cookie(c) for c in response_cookies_browser]
 
#the browser now contains the cookies generated from the authentication    
driver.get(url)
 
#now find and press your button

Thank you for the response metulburr!

It's really not possible to view the full code because it contains username/password info.

I posted about everything I know to post as far as what is included on the webpage itself, but I would be glad to provide more information if needed.

Quote:When I do the exact same thing manually
Is this manually in the selenium browser or your own?

The page performs as expected when I navigate to the site and click the button manually OR when I have selenium navigate to the page and I click the button manually.

I get the error message whenever I use any programmatic method of clicking the button in question.

Quote:Are you passing any cookies beforehand?

No, I haven't tried passing cookies before hand. I am reviewing your code now to see if I can make sense of it.

Thanks again for your response.
