Selenium related queries

[Prince_Bhatia]

HI,

i am trying to fill the form using CSV file.

In this i have two queries , first i have to select radio button but it should match text from CSV file.

if text matches the condition it should select that radio button. First two radio button with the correct text matches properly but not the third one.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common import keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
import time
import datetime
import os
import sys

userid = "xxx"
password = "xxx"


filename = "./phase.csv"
prj_structure = {}
f = open(filename, "r")
data = f.read()
f.close()
lst = data.split("\n")
prj = ""
for i in range(1, len(lst)):
   val = lst[i].split(",")
   if len(val)<2:
       break
   #print( val )
   if val[1]=="" and val[2]=="" and val[3]:
       
       break
   if len(val[0])>0:
       prj = val[0]
   if prj!="":
       if prj not in prj_structure.keys():
           prj_structure[prj] = []
       prj_structure[prj].append([ val[1], val[2], val[3]])
#print( prj_structure )


driver = webdriver.Chrome("./chromedriver")
driver.get('xxx')
email = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/form/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]/input")
email.send_keys("xxx")

password = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/form/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[3]/td[2]/input")
password.send_keys("xxx")

l_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/form/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[4]/td/input")
l_button.click()
url = "xxx"
for pid in prj_structure.keys():# to access number 9
   url1 = url+str(pid)
   driver.get(url1)
   time.sleep(1)
   
   total_elements = len( prj_structure[pid] )
   for indx in range(total_elements):
       ele = prj_structure[pid][indx]
       i =  str(indx+1)

       form = driver.find_elements_by_id("addform")
       for data in form:
           phasename = data.find_element_by_id('phase_name')
           phasename.send_keys(str(ele[1]))
           if "uc".find(str(ele[2]))!=-1 or "under".find(str(ele[2]))!=-1:
               data.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@value='UC']").click()
           elif "new".find(str(ele[2]))!=-1 or "launch".find(str(ele[2]))!=-1:
               data.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@value='N']").click()
           elif "ready".find(str(ele[2]))!=-1 or "move".find(str(ele[2]))!=-1:
               data.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@value='R']").click()

           dates = data.find_elements_by_id("completion_dt")
           for date in dates:
               dt_obj = datetime.datetime.strptime(date, '%M/%d/%Y')
               dtobj = dt_obj.strftime("%Y-%M-%d")
               dtobj.send_keys(str(ele[3]))
       
      

In this code the error comes in( if i enter uc or new in CSV column to match it selects that radio button perfectly but not the ready to move one)

elif "ready".find(str(ele[2]))!=-1 or "move".find(str(ele[2]))!=-1:
               data.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@value='R']").click()

and the error is

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\Users\prince.bhatia\Desktop\phasecreation\Corrections.py", line 67, in <module>

second is send dates using python

i am using this code to send dates

  dates = data.find_elements_by_id("completion_dt")
           for date in dates:
               dt_obj = datetime.datetime.strptime(date, '%M/%d/%Y')
               dtobj = dt_obj.strftime("%Y-%M-%d")
               dtobj.send_keys(str(ele[3]))
       

but when i run the code with the above correct conditions i get this error:

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\Users\prince.bhatia\Desktop\phasecreation\Corrections.py", line 71, in <module>
   dt_obj = datetime.datetime.strptime(date, '%M/%d/%Y')
TypeError: strptime() argument 1 must be str, not WebElement

i have attached the CSV file for your reference


Please guide where i am wrong?

[nilamo]

dates = data.find_elements_by_id("completion_dt")
for date in dates:
    dt_obj = datetime.datetime.strptime(date, '%M/%d/%Y')

.find_elements_by_id() returns a list of elements, not a list of strings. The datetime module doesn't know how to get a date out of whatever selenium is giving you, so you need to get the date out of the element first. Which is also what your error is telling you.
