Commands
| Command | Description | Example | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Command | Target | Value | ||
| store | The Selenium functions store, storeValue, and storeText store some data for later access. Selenium uses a map called storedVars to store the data. You can use previously stored variables. ${varaiable_name} gives us access to the storedVars map. To display the value of a stored variable use "echo". | store | John | firstName |
| store | We can store the runtime in a variable to get performance values. How long it took to get to this point in the script. | store | ${!RUNTIME} | endTime |
| comment | Adds a comment | comment | My comment here | |
| open | The "Open" command opens the URL in the current selected browser tab. The open command takes a full URL as input (recommended) or a path relative to the baseurl (outdated). | open | http://www.google.com/ | |
| type | TYPE sets the value of an input field, as though you typed it in. | type | id=sq_101i | ${firstName} |
| click | clickAndWait and click send a Javascript click event to the DOM element defined by the locator. The difference between clickAndWait and click is that clickAndWait waits for a page load event after the click. So clickAndWait = click + waitForPageToLoad. | click | xpath=//div[2]/div/div/a | |
| select | The purpose of select and selectAndWait is to select a value from drop down/combo box or list box. | select | xpath=//*[@id="sq_102"]/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[2]/select | label=${birthMonth} |
| executeScript | The executeScript command executes a snippet of JavaScript in the context of the currently selected frame or window. The script fragment will be executed as the body of an anonymous function. To store the return value, use the 'return' keyword and provide a variable name in the value input field. | executeScript | return Number (${i}) + 1; | i |
| Play an audio file. | executeScript | var audio = new Audio("https://www.myinstants.com/media/sounds/jeopardy.mp3"); audio.play(); | ||
| executeScript_Sandbox | The executeScript_Sandbox works exactly as executeScript but runs the Javascript in a sandbox. In other words, the code runs not in the website. The advantage of using the sandbox is that the website can not influence or block the Javascript execution. So unless you want to access elements of the website, better use the sandbox. The flow control commands (if_v2, while_v2, GotoIf_v2) use executeScript_Sandbox internally to evaluate the expression. | executeScript_Sandbox | return Number (${i}) + 1; | i |
do ... repeatIf | The part between Do and Repeat If (expression) is executed as long as the expression is true. RepeatIf uses executeScript_Sandbox to evaluate the expression. If the expression is false, the IDE executes the immediate next command Repeat If. | do | ||
| executeScript | return document.body.innerHTML.search("At this time there are no appointment slots available"); | textLocation | ||
| repeatIf | ${textLocation} != -1 | |||
if_v2 ... elseif ... else ... end | if statement | if_v2 | ${i} == 0 | |
| click | ... | |||
| elseif | ${i}==1 | |||
| click | ... | |||
| else | ||||
| click | ... | |||
| end | ||||
while_v2 ... end | while_v2 | ${i} < 4 | ||
| executeScript_Sandbox | return Number (${i}) + 1; | i | ||
| click | ... | |||
| end | ||||
| break | The break statement breaks the loop and continues executing the code after the loop (if any). Usually it is used after a conditional "if" (or similar) statement. | while_v2 | ${i} < 4 | |
| ... | ||||
| if_v2 | ${i} == 3 | |||
| break | ||||
| end | ||||
| end | ||||
