I know there's some process of interrogating a database of results for the postcode but I'm not sure how to automate that without using the web page elements I've used here. Search_button = WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, Click the search button - neither method works Postcode_input_box = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "/html/body/div/div/div/div/div/form/div/input"))) Here is my python code: from selenium import webdriverįrom import Keysįrom import WebElementįrom import expected_conditions as ECįrom import Byįrom import WebDriverWaitĭriver = webdriver.Edge('msedgedriver.exe')Ĭonsent = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "/html/body/div/div/div/div/div/button"))).click()Ĭonsent2 = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "/html/body/div/div/div/div/div/button"))).click() The website works fine when used normally (not automating it). I have identified the search button successfully (I believe) via different methods (Xpath, CSS selector) but the clicking and returning of results is not working automatically. I need to get the results for several postcodes and scrape the results to pandas eventually. However, when I click the search button, it doesn't show me the results of that search. I have successfully automated Edge (and Chrome) to the correct page for searching broadband prices and also entered a postcode into the search box. Or alternatively: Try the new chrome-based selenium ide and give the authors some feedback. This makes sure you are safe when browsing the web. This way you can keep auto-updates on for your regular Firefox.

To keep yourself secure, install Firefox 54 portable just for automated testing with the Selenium IDE and install the portable version of Firefox in a separate directory from your main Firefox. Tip: Instead of downgrading to Firefox 54, better use Firefox PORTABLE 54.0.1. So the Mozilla addon website prevents the install.ĭownload the latest version of the XPI from a 3rd party website, for example from (this is safe, as the XPI is signed)ĭrag the XPI on the Firefox 54 window - done! Problem: For some reason the IDE is marked as compatible with Firefox up to 34 only - even so it works just fine in Firefox 54.
Here is how to install the old Selenium IDE in Firefox 54 (= latest Firefox version supported by the IDE): Selenium IDE should launch as shown below Install Selenium IDE for Firefox then follow the stepĪfter Firefox has restarted, launch Selenium IDE using either of two ways:īy clicking on the Firefox menu button> Developer>Selenium IDE I followed the same steps on a newer version of the browser(by uninstalling the older version of the browser and installed the newer version) The problem is the same again I also saw a message saying that this version of the add-in is not compatible with firefox that you have on your machine. I clicked on "" to have the latest version of Selenium IDE add-in installed.īut, I saw the button "Add to Firefox" disabled. It can also export Remote Control or WebDriver scripts, though they tend to be somewhat brittle and should be overhauled into some sort of Page Object-y structure for any kind of resiliency.ĭownload latest released version from or view the Release Notes and then install some plugins. Use this to either create simple scripts or assist in exploratory testing. Selenium IDE is a Firefox plugin which records and plays back user interactions with the browser. I went to and here is the relevant content I observed The version of Mozilla firefox that is on my machine is the latest one 55.03.
