Selenium2 cannot located elements in iframe in cross-domain environment
simply_tester
I'm running into an issue where I get redirected to another domain page where all the elementes are inside the iframe and my selenium2 script only finds first element out of x amount of elements specified. After that script fails since next element cannot be located. Ii've tried to locate other elements using all sorts of locators supported in Selenium2, as well as, using JavascriptExecutor - but same failure. One web-dev told me it could be possible due to iframes and cross-domain environment.
Please recommend a solution.
Thanks

Thanks for replying. Manually, everything works - I can see all necessary elements and click on them.
Thanks,
Do you get the same problem when testing the page manually?

Thanks for replying. The problem is that devs won't make such change in order for me to test, I need to find a solution to test the way it is :)

Ask your developers to make the iframe also in same domain. I think it is small change in JS for developers.

Thanks for replying and suggestion. That is exactly what I'm doing in my script. As soon as page with an iframe loads (I explicitly give it 60 sec to make sure all the elements are there), I switch to iframe and try to locate necessary elements. This is where security problem begins, since it only finds the very first element I specify in the code (I've noticed this by changing around elements to be searched for), then it fails to locate whatever next element I'm searching for.
Thanks,

Do they acknowledge that they could make a change that would resolve the problem, and that it wouldn't adversely affect the functionality of the site?
If so, it seems very un-"team spirited" of them.
Have you googled "selenium iframes cross-domain environment"?
The second result turned up this link: http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=2002 ... and a potential workaround.

I actually run through recommended steps in that link last week before creating this post. Unfortunately, that solution did not for me. I tried both of them. The main difference in here is that person who created that task had his FF and Chrome work fine. In my case, both of them as well as IE fail to locate the element.

That’s nice.
I would suggest you start a new thread outlining your problem and providing us with your test code and the HTML of the site you are testing.
This will get you a much faster and more relevant response.

- user logs in to the site - that's one URL (https) - user is presented with the page where content can be selected
- user selects content to be displayed - gets redirected to a different URL (https) that has an iframe, which contains all the elements I need (from here, selenium can only detect 1st element out of 4 specified in the selenium script. All elements are located under the same <div>). Please see below for ex. Elements I'm looking for are in red color.
Ex.

Here is a way to see this issue without creating an account:
- go to mynook.barnesandnoble.com
- paste this URL: https://nook.com/read/Race/Clive-Cussler/?ean=9781101547731
This will open a sample of the book in a different domain. There you'll be able to find this iframe with the elements I'm trying to locate for my test (in red below).

Subject: Re: [selenium-users] Selenium2 cannot located elements in iframe in cross-domain environment
I actually run through recommended steps in that link last week before creating this post. Unfortunately, that solution did not for me. I tried both of them. The main difference in here is that person who created that task had his FF and Chrome work fine. In my case, both of them as well as IE fail to locate the element.

If you google "iframe" and "cross-domain environments" you'll find a stack load of references that indicate this is a common problem (not just for Selenium) which can be addressed by more considerate development practices. So it seems to me that the developers are the people best placed to help you with this issue.
Do they acknowledge that they could make a change that would resolve the problem, and that it wouldn't adversely affect the functionality of the site?
If so, it seems very un-"team spirited" of them.
Have you googled "selenium iframes cross-domain environment"?
The second result turned up this link: http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=2002 ... and a potential workaround.

Hi,
Thanks for replying. The problem is that devs won't make such change in order for me to test, I need to find a solution to test the way it is :)
Thanks,

Yes that is true. I also faced the same problem.
Ask your developers to make the iframe also in same domain. I think it is small change in JS for developers.

Do you get the same problem when testing the page manually?

Subject: [selenium-users] Selenium2 cannot located elements in iframe in cross-domain environment
Hi,
I'm running into an issue where I get redirected to another domain page where all the elementes are inside the iframe and my selenium2 script only finds first element out of x amount of elements specified. After that script fails since next element cannot be located. Ii've tried to locate other elements using all sorts of locators supported in Selenium2, as well as, using JavascriptExecutor - but same failure. One web-dev told me it could be possible due to iframes and cross-domain environment.
Please recommend a solution.
Thanks
