如何在Selenium Automated Test中管理Gmail中COMPOSE按钮的动态ID

Question

The id of COMPOSE button of Gmail is dynamic. So when it is clicked different xpath is recorded by Selenium IDE as follows:

//div[@id=':lw']/div/div , //div[@id=':as']/div/div

What can be the alternative ways of using the id or xpath?

The following is the HTML for COMPOSE button:

<div class="aic" id=":as"><div class="z0"><div tabindex="0" role="button" class="T-I J-J5Ji L3 T-I-KE" style="-moz-user-select: none;" gh="cm">COMPOSE</div></div></div>

Answer 1

在Gmail中将以下代码用于COMPOSE

ClickAt   |  //div[text()='COMPOSE']

Answer 2

You should use CSS classes. They do not change in Gmail and this solution won't be locale dependent.

For the compose button the class is "TI J-J5-Ji L3".

An example using jQuery:

$('.T-I.J-J5-Ji.L3').live('click', function () {

     alert('Compose button clicked');

});

Answer 3

It is better to use Sikuli here.

Sikuli Script automates anything you see on the screen. It uses image recognition to identify and control GUI components. It is useful when there is no easy access to a GUI's internal or source code.

Answer 4

The following WebDriver Java code should work nicely:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[text()='COMPOSE']")).click();

Using Selenium RC with Java:

selenium.click("//div[text()='COMPOSE']");

Answer 5

google uses dynamic ids for most of the elements. Try using the "Compose" text instead of using the ID.

you can use something like this. Webelement element = driver.findElementByXpath("//div[text()='COMPOSE']"); element.click();

hope this works!
