Selenium with Java: Struggling with login authentication despite providing accurate credentials

I have been experimenting with creating a login page and encountered an issue even after passing valid credentials using automation code:

Login Failed.

Using Selenium webdriver with Java on Eclipse as the programming language.

I attempted the standard method:

WebElement Login = driver.findElement(By.className("flex-signup"));
Login.click();
WebElement EmailAdd = driver.findElement(By.id("emailAddress")); 

EmailAdd.sendKeys("************");
WebElement Passwd = driver.findElement(By.id("****"));
Passwd.sendKeys("*******");

I also tried an alternative approach using JavaScript driver, but it did not work on the application either.

JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("arguments[0].value='*************';" ,****);
jse.executeScript("document.getElementById('****').value='**********';");
WebElement BLogin = driver.findElement(By.className("ladda-label"));
jse.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", BLogin);

Since the application is in JavaScript, I utilized the JavaScript driver as well, but encountered the same outcome.

Answer №1

To improve your code, consider incorporating an explicit wait to ensure that the text is entered into the field only when it is visible. You can try the following revised code:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
WebElement Login = driver.findElement(By.className("flex-signup"));
Login.click();

WebElement EmailAdd = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("****")));
EmailAdd.sendKeys("************");

WebElement Passwd = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("****")));
Passwd.sendKeys("*******");

Finally, click on the Login button.

Answer №2

Experiment with various browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, and Opera.

  • Use WebDriver firefox=new FirefoxDriver() //for using with Firefox

  • Utilize WebDriver chrome=new ChromeDriver();//for running in Chrome.

Give it a try and observe the results.

Answer №3

What occurs after the Login button is clicked? If the login form takes a moment to load (even just 30 milliseconds can be crucial), it's important to add a wait command! Otherwise, the driver will immediately attempt to input credentials (even if the login form isn't fully loaded yet), resulting in some of the initial characters possibly being lost.

P.S. I am aware that there may be some grammar errors in my writing, please forgive me for those mistakes.

Answer №4

It seems like there might be a missing step in the login procedure.

Typically, the login process involves the following steps:

  1. Locate the ID Box and input Keys
  2. Locate the PW Box and input Keys
  3. Find the Login Button and Click / input "Enter Key" along with PW Keys

Your current method appears as follows:

  1. Click on Login(?)
  2. Locate WebElement EmailAdd
  3. Locate WebElement EmailAdd (x2) (Using different driver call)
  4. Input Keys into EmailAdd
  5. Locate WebElement Passwd
  6. Input Keys into Passwd
