Selenium JAR test case encountered a halt when it reached JavaScript commands

While working on a test script for our company using Selenium JUnit, I encountered an issue. The script runs smoothly in my account on the company's network but encounters a roadblock when other employees try to run it, specifically when it reaches the JavaScript segment.

I realized that the locators for each Sharepoint element vary across different accounts. For example, #ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_nameInput in my account is actually #ctl01_PlaceHolderMain_nameInput in another account, making these elements unreachable through my code. How can this issue be resolved?

Our web browser of choice is Firefox, and users are required to authenticate to run the test case (HTTPS page).

Any assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.

The snippet of the script causing trouble looks like this:


WebElement NewPage;
NewPage = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("#mp1_0_2_Anchor")));
NewPage.click();
Thread.sleep(5000);
// Error occurs after executing the following lines
if (driver instanceof JavascriptExecutor) {
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(""
+ "var tBox= document.querySelector('.ms-dlgFrame').contentDocument.querySelector('#ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_nameInput');"
+ "tBox.setAttribute('value','Testcase 13.1');"
+ "var btn= document.querySelector('.ms-dlgFrame').contentDocument.querySelector('#ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_createButton');"
+ "btn.click();"
);
}

Here is the Html code for the iFrame:

<div id="s4-workspace" style="height: 175px; width: 390px; overflow-y: auto;">
<div id="s4-bodyContainer">
<div id="s4-titlerow" class="s4-pr s4-notdlg s4-titlerowhidetitle ms-titlerowborder" style="width: 372px;">

Upon referring to this resource, I was able to extract the error log below:

Answer №1

Have you considered using the Selenium API in Java instead of Javascript? Try this code snippet to see if it resolves your issue:

WebElement NewPage;
NewPage= wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("#mp1_0_2_Anchor")));
NewPage.click();
Thread.sleep(5000);

//An error may occur after executing the following lines

WebElement tBox = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".ms-dlgFrame #ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_nameInput"));
tBox.clear();
tBox.sendKeys("Testcase 13.1");
WebElement btn = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".ms-dlgFrame #ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_createButton"));
btn.click();
