如何使用Java在Selenium2（Webdriver）中键入Gmail正文文本

Question

I tried to automate sending email from Gmail (https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=http://mail.google.com/mail/&scc=1&ltmpl=default&ltmplcache=2) by using Selenium WebDriver with Java. First I tried to record the test by using Selenium IDE. IDE failed to record the body of email. I tried by the following way to type on body text, but it failed unfortunately.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//textarea[@name='body']")).sendKeys("body text");

Error is: FAILED: testSendingEmail org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with Command duration or timeout: 30.02 seconds

Can anybody please help me?

Answer 1

YES.. you can't record the body of email using Selenium IDE .

include the following method in your project and call that method to send Email.(No need to login into gmail)

import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;

public void SendEmail()
{

  // Recipient's email ID needs to be mentioned.
  String to = "abcd@gmail.com";

  // Sender's email ID needs to be mentioned
  String from = "web@gmail.com";

  // Assuming you are sending email from localhost
  String host = "localhost";

  // Get system properties
  Properties properties = System.getProperties();

  // Setup mail server
  properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);

  // Get the default Session object.
  Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);

  try{
     // Create a default MimeMessage object.
     MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);

     // Set From: header field of the header.
     message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));

     // Set To: header field of the header.
     message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                              new InternetAddress(to));

     // Set Subject: header field
     message.setSubject("This is the Subject Line!");

     // Now set the actual message
     message.setText("This is actual message");

     // Send message
     Transport.send(message);
     //System.out.println("Sent message successfully....");
  }
catch (MessagingException mex) {
     mex.printStackTrace();
  }
}

You can also send mail with Attachments

Answer 2

when using class it throws and error element not found its better to use table index.

        WebElement frame1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//iframe[@tabindex='1']"));
    driver.switchTo().frame(frame1);
    WebElement editable = driver.switchTo().activeElement();
    String mailBody = "Hi," + '\n' + "Gmail Body";
    editable.sendKeys(mailBody);
    driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

Answer 3

The following is the piece of HTML code for typing gmail body:

<iframe frameborder="0" style="padding: 0pt; height: 218px; background-color: white;" class="Am Al editable" id=":4z" tabindex="1"></iframe>

I have written the following java code in WebDriver to type gmail body and it worked nicely. (I am happy)

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
WebElement frame1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//iframe[@class='Am Al editable']"));
driver.switchTo().frame(frame1);
WebElement editable = driver.switchTo().activeElement();
String mailBody = "Hi," + '\n' + "I'm Ripon from Dhaka, Bangladesh.";
editable.sendKeys(mailBody);
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

Answer 4

Try out below code to write in body area

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body[class='editable  LW-avf']")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body[class='editable  LW-avf']")).sendKeys("body text");

Answer 5

WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver();

WebElement text=driver.findElement(By.className("LW-avf"));

text.click(); text.sendKeys("Hello");

Please try using above code.
