Selenium Click on Bookmark in Browser's Bookmark Toolbar

[Nicholas Goolcharan]

Is there anyway by which I can automate the following steps in Selenium / WebDriver open a page click on bookmarklet in browser toolbar (eg Pinterest Pin Button) fill up data in the form loaded into the page by said bookmarklet. If the bookmarklet is not accessible as it is part of the browser/bookmark toolbar, is there a way in which I can inject the javascript into the page and have it execute using Java and Eclipse?

You could try using AutoIT, though not sure how far it would get you.

I doubt if java script can control browser bookmark.

Yes.. You can bookmark a page by selecting the option from right click context menu and pressing the key "m". Its a shortcut to achieve this and this can be done using Selenium Webdriver. After that, you have to use Autoit or Alert class to handle the browser dialog.

 

Please try this below code to simulate the first 2 steps.

 

Webdriver test = new FireFoxDriver();

test.get("URL");

Actions bookmark=new Actions(test);

bookmark.contextClick(test.findElement(Location Strategy))).sendKeys("m").build().perform();

HTH!!

 

Let me know if you face any issues on this.

 

Thanks,

Jay!!

Hi jay - i was not able to do it can you be more presize so i can follow up your steps.

FYI, what Jay mentioned is just for creating the bookmark. After that, "clicking" the bookmark from browser toolbar or menu will require another tool besides Selenium. So only proceed if you are comfortable with using AutoIt, Sikuli, or some other tool to find and click the bookmark.
