Unable to click an span element attached with ng-click event

[santosh b s]

Hello,

I am a new to Robot Framework and developing a POC. I encountered a strange scenario where I can locate element using xpath (in Firebug), but when I try to click the element using Click Element event in Robot Framework, I am getting the message ElementNotInteractableException: Message:

I am using the same XPath in the robot framework too. This element doesn't have any id or unique identifier associated with it.

Screenshots from Robot Framework

Any pointers on resolving this issue would be of great help. If similar issue is already discussed, could anyone point me to that?

Regards,

This type of problem is usually the element not having focus.
When we interact with browser, we move the mouse pointer to the element and then click.
Look for keywords like `Focus` or `Mouse Over` to gain focus of the element.

Hi,

Thank you for the inputs.

I tried Focus, Mouse Over and Simulate events. No Luck!!!. Still getting the same problem.

Hello,

Finally I am able to click on desired element using below sequence.

Now I have a new challenge. Upon successful processing, application downloads the files. How to handle the download popup which appears in FireFox browser? I am getting popup as below,

Any help would be great.

Ugh

The best option is not to download the file. If I need to check that download works and I don't care about the file content, then I don't download the file. I usually skip that part totally and leave it for manual testing or check from the server content management system that file is available for download.

If I actually care about the file content, then I download the file. But I don't usually use the browser to download the file, instead I usually use cURL for the file download. I know that it's possible to configure the browser to automatically download the file to a predefined location, but I haven't personally used that option.

Hi Santosh,

You can fiddle with your firefox profile. I think you have these two options, both are based on a custom firefox profile disabling the popup box:

1. Save and use a custom a profile, e.g. see http://toolsqa.com/selenium-webdriver/custom-firefox-profile.

or

2. Manipulate the firefox preferences to not show the popup, but directly save the file. Take a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33198814/how-to-set-preferences-for-firefox-in-robot-framework.

In both cases you can load the profile with the 'Open Browser' keyword like "Open Browser  ${url}  ff_profile_dir=${profile_path}".

Best,
Michael
