Hi!
I'm trying to implement continuous integration with WebDriver. The
code below works:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get(url);
WebElement form = driver.findElement(By.id("revocationIds"));
form.submit();
Changing to
WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
driver.get(url);
WebElement form = driver.findElement(By.id("revocationIds"));
form.submit();
fails with the excpetion:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Cannot locate element used to
submit form
System info: os.name: 'Windows XP', os.arch: 'x86', os.version: '5.1',
java.version: '1.6.0_20'
Driver info: driver.version: htmlunit
at org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitWebElement.submitForm(HtmlUnitWebElement.java:178)
at org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitWebElement.submit(HtmlUnitWebElement.java:135)
at org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitWebElement.submit(HtmlUnitWebElement.java:152)
The rest of the stacktrace is ommited to prevent the innocent.
I'm using Maven to build, the latest Selenium 2 avilable is 2.0a2.
I have this dependency specified:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>
<version>2.0a2</version>
</dependency>
I this a know issue? Is it something that is fixed in a later version?
I have seen that 2.0a4 seems to be available, but I can't reach it
using Maven.
Please contact me offlist if you need more details.

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Cannot locate element used to submit
form
Means it cannot find the submit button for the form you are trying to
form
submit. You can specify the exact button and use the .click() command
instead so something like:
driver.findElement(By.id("<idOfSubmitButton>")).click();
Bear in mind that HTMLUnit is not using the same JavaScript rendering engine
as FireFox so the way it constructs the DOM may be different which is
probably what is causing you issues.

Didn't work either. I had tried it earlier, but didn't include it in

Hi!
The error below was due to a faulty html.
The part that failed was:
<input id="searchButton"
type="submit"
disabled="false"
tabindex="3"
value="Sök"/>
A version that work is:
<input id="searchButton"
type="submit"
tabindex="3"
value="Sök"/>
The failing html worked ok visual driver, i.e. Firefox and Internet
Explorer. The HtmlUnitDriver was a bit more picky and failed when, a
faulty(?), property disabled was set as above.
Is it a bug or a feature that HtmlUnitDriver is stricter then the
visual drivers?
I'm not sure.

Hi Thomas,
> Is it a bug or a feature that HtmlUnitDriveris stricter then the visual drivers?
HtmlUnit should follow real browsers along the way.
Please submit a minimal test case to HtmlUnit bug tracker.
Thanks,
Ahmed

Hi Again,
Actually, disabled='false' button is disabled, so you can't manually click on it in real browsers.
I believe click() should be not allowed in drivers other than HtmlUnit.
Yours,
Ahmed

I just added a comment to the bug you created and added a maven
project showing the incorrect behaviour.
And I claim that the example I attached should be submitted even tho
the disabled property is is set initially.
