如何使用 Java 在 Selenium WebDriver 中检查元素是否可点击

Question

I have to check that a text box accepts only a particular number of characters. If the characters exceed, it doesn't give any error but only turn the text in red. Another text box simply doesn't accept additional characters. How do I verify that text box doesn't accept more characters in both cases?

One option I have, is check if the 'Save' button which is visible on the page is clickable. How do I do this with Selenium WebDriver in Java?

Answer 1

Just write the below method and call it whenever you want to check whether the element is clickable or not. Pass the required arguments also.

public static boolean isClickable(WebElement el, WebDriver driver) 
    {
        try{
            WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 6);
            wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(el));
            return true;
        }
        catch (Exception e){
            return false;
        }
    }

Answer 2

You can use isEnabled() to check if an element is enabled or not.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//path/to/element").isEnabled();

This will return true if the button is clickable.

If by clickable you mean not disabled, you can use WebElement.isEnabled() .

About the text input that doesn't accept additional characters, if you want to detect that instead, it depends on how that constraint is enforced. For example if it's done through a maxlength attribute you can try to read that attribute from your input element ( WebElement.getAttribute(String) ). In this case you would know in advance how many characters you can send to the textbox.

About the text input that turns the text to red, if you want to detect that you should first find out how the text is turned to red; probably it does that by setting a CSS class or style attribute to your input element, in which case you can try to read that attribute from the element.
