When a user clicks on JavaScript, it will return true if clicked and false if

Currently working with selenium Java code and incorporating JavaScript execution using the executeScript method, as seen below:

     WebElement menu = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(string1));
     ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", menu);

I am aiming to determine if an element is clickable. If the button is disabled, the click event will not fire, so I require a flag. The issue lies in the fact that a click event in JS returns undefined.

Thus, I need to implement a flag within my executeScript like so:

     Object flag_to_stop  = ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("<<something here if returns true string else returns false string>>, menu);

    while (Object.toString.equals(<<true string>>))

This way, I can run a while loop and break out of it if flag_to_stop is false;

Open to any suggestions folks!

Please note, this question pertains more to JavaScript, with all the provided Java code for reference.

Answer №1

Here is a suggestion you might consider:

  boolean stopFlag = false;
  try{
    ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", menu);
    stopFlag = true;
  }
  catch(Exception e){
    stopFlag = false;
  }
