Currently, I am facing a challenge while working on an application that contains nested Iframes within the user interface. Some of these Iframes undergo refreshing during the test execution process. Is there any approach that allows us to simulate the refresh of an Iframe using Selenium? I have attempted utilizing Javascript and WebDriverWait methods but have not been successful.
The methods I have tried are as follows:
public static void waitForIframeToLoad(String frameName){
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,60);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(frameName));
}
public static void refreshIFrameUsingJavaScript(String iFrameName)
{
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript(String.format("document.getElementById('{0}').src = " +
"document.getElementById('{0}').src", iFrameName));
}
However, both of these approaches seem to be ineffective. Although I can switch between frames using the 'driver.switchTo().frame("main").switchTo().frame("framename")' method.
In this scenario, the 'main' frame serves as the parent frame containing multiple child frames. These child frames refresh when a user clicks on a specific button, and my objective is to verify some text within one of the child frames following the refresh action. Unfortunately, after the child frame refreshes, I encounter difficulties in accessing any elements within the script. Has anyone encountered a similar issue before? If so, what would be the most suitable workaround for such a problem?
