Gmail password text box not detectable

[Nimit Shah]

Hi,
m trying a simple script of logging into gmail
my script identifies the username box but doesnt identify the password box.
i see that when u enter the username and click next the page doesnt refresh or load it just gets the password box.
what selenium command should be used to detect the same?
from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
driver.maximize_window()
driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text("Gmail").click()
driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text("Sign in").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[@id='Email']").send_keys("<username>")
driver.find_element_by_id("next").click()
driver.find_element_by_name("Passwd").click()
driver.send_keys("<password>")

for the password textbox i have tried all xpath, id etc but nothing worked.

Nimit,

Unless and until you are actually working with the GMail testing team, you shouldn't be trying to automate against GMail. It could a violation of their terms and conditions for usage.

If you are doing this because your use case has a step that verifies email, then you should look at leveraging the GMail APIs [ https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/?hl=en ] for doing this.

If you are doing this because you want to get started with learning WebDriver, then you should be using this site instead [ http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/ ] which was created specifically for this purpose.

Thanks & Regards

I agree with Krishnan, but for the sake of learners understanding below are the changes needed - 

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

driver.get("https://www.google.com/")

driver.implicitly_wait(10)

driver.maximize_window()

driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text("Gmail").click()

#driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text("Sign in").click() - commented out

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='Email']").send_keys("som...@gmail.com")

driver.find_element_by_id("next").click()

#driver.find_element_by_name("Passwd").click() - commented out

driver.find_element_by_name("Passwd").send_keys("aaaa")

Nimit,

 U can use below code.I think it will work ......

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Gmail")).click();

driver.findElement(By.id("Email")).sendKeys("<username>");

driver.findElement(By.id("next")).click();

driver.findElement(By.name("Passwd")).sendKeys("Passwd");

Thanks & Regards,
