Selenium IDE - How get Current - date, month, year & time through script


There are many ways like as below:

1.

Current year - javascript{(new Date()).getFullYear()}

Current Month - javascript{(new Date().getMonth()) + 1}

Current date - javascript{(new Date().getDate().toString())}


2. 

<tr> 
        <td>storeEval</td> 
        <td>var d=new Date(); d.getDate()+'-'+((d.getMonth()+1)) 
+'-'+d.getFullYear();</td> 
        <td>date2</td>

Selenium IDE Tip - Continue if only element is present else not

Selenium IDE Tip - Continue if only element is present else not


In the following code, first check element is present or not.

If not present, then exist from the loop to the label - exit, else continue the commands - verify Text

This really helps when we want to run specific TC or not??


<tr>
<td>storeElementPresent</td>
<td>${category_header_obj}</td>
<td>present</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>gotoIf</td>
<td>storedVars['present']==false</td>
<td>exit</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>verifyText</td>
<td>${category_header_obj}</td>
<td>Categories</td>
</tr>

Selenium IDE - How to read table & append the table content into a single variable

It is simple.  Try the below code:

 1. This function locates the table in a html page.

 2. Finds no. of rows in a table.

 3. Reads each row data & appends into single variable.

 4. Returns the variable.

Selenium.prototype.getSaraTableAppend = function(tableName) { try {     var table = this.browserbot.findElement(tableName);              var rows = table.rows.length;                             var apptxt = 0;                 for (var i = 2; i < rows ; i++)                 {                                                                                         var celltxt  = getText(table.rows[i].cells[0]);                         apptxt = apptxt + celltxt;                                                                                         }                                return apptxt; } catch (e) {         throw new SeleniumError("Threw an exception!" + e.message); } };

 Then call this function in Selenium IDE as,

<tr>

            <td>storeSaraTableAppend</td>

            <td>css=table</td>

            <td>Result</td>

</tr>

Ex:

  Table is as below :

123

456

789

Abc

efg

Results contains data as: 0123456789Abcefg

Selenium IDE - How to Read table content & store as a Array

It is simple.  Try the below code:

2. Finds no. of rows in a table.
3. Reads each row data & stores in an array.
4. Returns the data in an array.

Selenium.prototype.getSaraTable = function(tableName) { try {     var table = this.browserbot.findElement(tableName);             var rows = table.rows.length;             var TblArr = [];                 for (var i = 0; i < rows ; i++)                 {                         var celltxt  = getText(table.rows[i].cells[0]);                         TblArr.push(celltxt);             }                 return TblArr; } catch (e) {         throw new SeleniumError("Threw an exception!" + e.message); } };

 Then call this function in Selenium IDE as,

<tr>             <td>storeSaraTable</td>             <td>css=table</td>             <td>Result</td> </tr>

Ex:

  Table is as below :

123

456

How to clear or delete cookies in Selenium

How to delete a cookies in Selenium IDE

It is very much necessary to delete cookies in order to continue the script execution.

There 2 ways to clear

1. Either clear the browser cache including cookies
2. Else delete the cookie either by name or all.

Commands used for deleting cookies in Selenium are:

deleteAllVisibleCookies ( )

Calls deleteCookie with recurse=true on all cookies visible to the current page. As noted on the documentation for deleteCookie, recurse=true can be much slower than simply deleting the cookies using a known domain/path.

deleteCookie ( name,optionsString )

Delete a named cookie with specified path and domain. Be careful; to delete a cookie, you need to delete it using the exact same path and domain that were used to create the cookie. If the path is wrong, or the domain is wrong, the cookie simply won't be deleted. Also note that specifying a domain that isn't a subset of the current domain will usually fail. Since there's no way to discover at runtime the original path and domain of a given cookie, we've added an option called 'recurse' to try all sub-domains of the current domain with all paths that are a subset of the current path. Beware; this option can be slow. In big-O notation, it operates in O(n*m) time, where n is the number of dots in the domain name and m is the number of slashes in the path.

Arguments:

1.name - the name of the cookie to be deleted

2. optionsString - options for the cookie. Currently supported options include 'path', 'domain' and 'recurse.' The optionsString's format is "path=/path/, domain=.foo.com, recurse=true". The order of options are irrelevant. Note that specifying a domain that isn't a subset of the current domain will usually fail.

Selenium IDE:

1.      Usage of deleteAllVisibleCookies ( )

<tr>

            <td>deleteAllVisibleCookies</td>

            <td></td>

            <td></td>

</tr>

2.      Usage of deletecookie

Get the specific cookie name you want to delete in FF -> Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cookies

Ex:

 Name : PREF

 Domain: .google.com

 Path: /

    <tr>

            <td>deleteCookie</td>

            <td>PREF</td>

            <td>“path=/”, domain=”.google.com”, “recurse=true”</td>

</tr>

Selenium RC

Using below user defined JAVA function

protected void deleteCookie(String cookieName)
{
String cookieDomain =
CTPropertiesManager.getProperty("site.properties", 

"site.cookie.domain");

try
{
//get all cookies
Cookie cookies[] = request.getCookies();

Cookie ctCookie=null;
if (cookies !=null)
{
for(int i=0; i<cookies.length; i++)
{
ctCookie=cookies[i];
if (ctCookie.getName().trim().equals(cookieName))
{
if ( cookieDomain != null )
{
ctCookie.setDomain(cookieDomain);
}

ctCookie.setPath("/ct");
ctCookie.setMaxAge(0);
response.addCookie(ctCookie);
}
}//end for
}//end if cookie
}//end try
catch(Exception e){
CTLogManager.log(e);
}
}//end deleteCookie()
