java selenium-导航到分页表上未显示的页码

Question

Background

I have a Selenium script in java that performs a search and the result are in a paginated table. The table nav at the bottom is:

[‹‹ First] [‹ Prev] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [Next ›] [Last ››]

In some cases, my search will return 100s of thousands of records which would give me 10s of thousands of pages.

Issue

My Issue is, when I run the script, if it stops or crashes in the middle for what ever reason. The next time I run the script, it has to go through all the pages that I had previously searched, to get back to where it left off. So my script will look at row 'X' and see if I already looked at that record, skip it if I checked in a previous run or do what it needs to if I had not checked it. After all rows of page number 'Y' are complete, go to the next page. This takes too long when I need to go all the way back to a page that's a high number.

Url does not have any page info in it and does not change. Stays at ....resultTable.html.

The page does not have a "Go to Page: [ ]" input field to jump to a page. And, we cannot add it.

Solution?

I was thinking, if there is a way I can just navigate to a requested page, maybe with javascript? Because the table's navigation bar does not allow you to jump to a page. I would perform my search and on page 1 I would check what ever page my last run got to and navigate to that page. That way my script does not need to go through every page 1 by 1, checking each row if that is a record I already checked.... (I am technicaly weak in this area, need your help 🙂)

This is the onClick="" code on the table nav:

<a href="#" 
   onclick="mojarra.jsfcljs(
      document.getElementById('idHere'), 
      {'j_idt##:#:j_idt##':'j_idt##:#:j_idt##', 
      'pageIndex':'',
      'moveToPageNum':'##'},
      '');return false"
>##</a>

I wonder if I can just send javaScript code with the requested page I need in the 'moveToPageNum':'##' section?

In my script, at some point I use JavascriptExecutor to perform a task, maybe I can use it for the purposes described above? Example of how I use it in a different place in my script:

public static void openNewTab(WebDriver driver, String url) { 
   ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.open('" + url + " ','_blank');");
   changeTab(driver, url);
}

Answer 1

Well, After a lot of editing my question, and I'm sure people opening the question and being like "I have to read all this...". I got it, sorry 😞.

I made a method that executes java script:

public static void goToPage(WebDriver driver, int page) {

    ((JavascriptExecutor) driver)
            .executeScript("mojarra.jsfcljs(document.getElementById('idHere'),"
                           + "{'j_idt##:#:j_idt##':'j_idt##:#:j_idt##','pageIndex':'',"
                           + "'moveToPageNum':'" + page + "'}," + "'');return false");
}
