Passing a robotframework instance to selenium2Library

[SeanRF]

Using python you can get the active selenium instance by

sel = BuiltIn().get_library_instance('SeleniumLibrary').selenium

But how is this done with the Selenium2Library?

[Kevin O.]

Keep in mind there can be several browsers/webdrivers open, but you can access the active one like this:

BuiltIn().get_library_instance('Selenium2Library')._current_browser() # returns a WebDriver object

below is some working code to workaround the iframe issue without patching until the next release:

from Selenium2Library import Selenium2Library

from robot.libraries.BuiltIn import BuiltIn

def select_iframe(locator):

    """Sets iframe identified by `locator` as current frame.

    

    This is a temporary workaround until Selenium2Library is

    patched. Key attributes for frames are `id` and `name.`

     See `introduction` for details about locating elements.

    """

    seleniumlib = _get_instance()

    seleniumlib._info("Selecting iframe '%s'." % locator)

    element = seleniumlib._element_find(locator, True, True, tag='iframe')

    seleniumlib._current_browser().switch_to_frame(element)

    

def _get_instance():

    return BuiltIn().get_library_instance('Selenium2Library')
