Execute a JavaScript file stored in the filesystem using Selenium

Having trouble running a YUI js script using js.executeScript Selenium method. The script is being executed by Selenium Webdriver to simulate a "click" on a hybrid mobile app (the button is in a webview).

 String IncludeYUI = "script = document.createElement('script');script.type = 'text/javascript';script.async = true;script.onload = function(){};script.src = '"
                    + YUI_PATH
                    + "';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);";
            js.executeScript(IncludeYUI);

where the YUI_PATH is a URL - https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/yui/3.18.0/yui/.....

Encountering a problem due to the lack of access to the global network from the current site.

Considering saving the script under the project and loading it from the file system, but facing limitations with JavaScript and file system access.

Any suggestions on how to handle script loading in this scenario?

Thank you

Answer №1

Are you in the process of loading an HTML page somewhere? If so, you would probably load your JS file in a similar manner. Just like how you requested your server to load the HTML page, you would do the same for the JS file.

The syntax for loading a JS file would typically be like this:

<script src="scripts/yourFile.js">

It's uncommon to see a JS file being loaded the way it is in your code sample. It's usually recommended to simply include a script tag in your HTML for better practices.

If you can share your HTML code, we can offer more specific assistance. Feel free to update your question with the HTML code, and I will adjust my answer accordingly.

Answer №2

One solution finally emerged after numerous attempts - someone recommended working with jQuery. After some investigation, I discovered that using executeScript with jQuery's tap function did the trick...

$('#btn_login_button').trigger('tap');

I found it curious that none of the other methods involving clicks or element coordinates were successful.
