I want to use JavaScript with WebDriver (Selenium 2) using Java.
Nov 01, 2017 The advantage to using generators with selenium-webdriver/testing is your code will work with and without the promise manager, so you can convert one test at a time. Another advantage to this approach is your code will work today with Node 6 & 7. When async/await support is added to Node (it's currently hidden behind a flag in Node 7), you can migrate from generators with find-and-replace. Sep 21, 2019 JavaScriptExecutor is an Interface that helps to execute JavaScript through Selenium Webdriver. JavaScriptExecutor provides two methods 'executescript' & 'executeAsyncScript' to run javascript on the selected window or current page.
I've followed some a guide and on Getting Started page: there is an instruction at 1st line to run as:
My question: From which folder/location the command mentioned above will be run/executed?

Based on your previous questions, I suppose you want to run JavaScript snippets from Java's
WebDriver
. Please correct me if I'm wrong.The
WebDriverJs
is actually 'just' another WebDriver
language binding (you can write your tests in Java, C#, Ruby, Python, JS and possibly even more languages as of now). This one, particularly, is JavaScript, and allows you therefore to write tests in JavaScript.If you want to run JavaScript code in Java
WebDriver
, do this instead:I like to do this, also:
You can find more documentation on this here, in the documenation, or, preferably, in the JavaDocs of
JavascriptExecutor
.The
Petr JanečekPetr JanečekexecuteScript()
takes function calls and raw JS, too. You can return
a value from it and you can pass lots of complicated arguments to it, some random examples:31.6k99 gold badges100100 silver badges131131 bronze badges
JavaScript With Selenium WebDriver
Selenium is one of the most popular automated testing suites. Selenium is designed in a way to support and encourage automation testing of functional aspects of web based applications and a wide range of browsers and platforms.
To Execute User-Functions, Writing JS in to a file and reading as String and executing it to easily use.

document.title & document.getElementById() is a property/method available in Browsers.

You can also try clicking by JavaScript:
Also you can use jquery. In worst cases, for stubborn pages it may be necessary to do clicks by custom EXE application. But try the obvious solutions first.

I didn't see how to add parameters to the method call, it took me a while to find it, so I add it here.How to pass parameters in (to the javascript function), use 'arguments[0]' as the parameter place and then set the parameter as input parameter in the executeScript function.

If you want to read text of any element using javascript executor, you can do something like following code:
In this example, I have following HTML fragment and I am reading '156'.

You need to run this command in the top-level directory of a Selenium SVN repository checkout.

I am looking for something like:
I need to get the innerHTML of elements using JS (to use that in Selenium WebDriver/Java, since WebDriver can't find it itself), but how?
I could use ID attribute, but not all elements have ID attribute.
[FIXED]
I am using jsoup to get it done in Java. That works for my needs.

Call Javascript In Selenium Webdriver
You can use
document.evaluate
:Evaluates an XPath expression string and returns a result of the specified type if possible.
![Javascript Javascript](https://apphawks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Selenium-WebDriver-Architecture.png)
It is w3-standardized and whole documented: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document.evaluate
There's also a great introduction on mozilla developer network: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Introduction_to_using_XPath_in_JavaScript#document.evaluate
Alternative version, using

You can use javascript's document.evaluate to run an XPath expression on the DOM. I think it's supported in one way or another in browsers back to IE 6.
MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/evaluate
IE supports selectNodes instead.

Handling Javascript In Selenium Webdriver
Assuming your objective is to develop and test your xpath queries for screen maps. Then either use Chrome's developer tools. This allows you to run the xpath query to show the matches. Or in Firefox >9 you can do the same thing with the Web Developer Tools console. In earlier version use x-path-finder or Firebug.
