Unable to select iframe with selectFrame using webdriver

[Douglas Pennington]

Hey,

I'm in a situation where I need to use XPATH when selecting elements
for my web application. The elements all have dynamic ids, and XPATH
currently is the only solution I've found. My dilemia is there are
a lot of IFRAMES setup in the application I'm testing. I've been
told that I need to select the iframe first, before clicking on an
element that is further down the DOM tree.
My code looks like

public static void main(String[] args) //throws IOException
{


final String sBaseUrl = "http://oberon/";
//DefaultSelenium oDefaultSelenium = new
DefaultSelenium(sServerHost, iServerPort, sBrowserType, sBaseUrl);


//For WebDriver
WebDriver iedriver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
DefaultSelenium oDefaultSelenium = new
WebDriverBackedSelenium(iedriver,sBaseUrl);

WebDriver driver = ((WrapsDriver)
oDefaultSelenium).getWrappedDriver();

oDefaultSelenium.open("http://oberon/BullhornStaffing/
BHlogin.cfm");

oDefaultSelenium.type("username", "ddonathan");
oDefaultSelenium.type("password", "0");
oDefaultSelenium.click("//input[@value='Login']");

boolean bLoopAgain = true;
int iLoopCount = 0;

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//
table[@id='bhMenuContainer']/tbody/tr/td/div/div/table/tbody/tr/td"));
element.click();

Common.threadsleep(5000);

//Activity Center
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//table[@id='bhMenuContainer']/tbody/tr/
td/div/div[2]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[7]/td[2]")).click();
String sTitle = oDefaultSelenium.getText("id=bh_root");
while (bLoopAgain) {


if (sTitle.indexOf("Activity Center")>=0){
System.out.println("In Activity Center");
//Test AC item expansion
//first AC e-mail


Common.threadsleep(5000);

//oDefaultSelenium.selectWindow("");

//
********Problem area **************************
oDefaultSelenium.selectFrame("index=1");

//
******************************************

//This allows me to click on the record itself!
oDefaultSelenium.clickAt("//html/body/div/div", "1,1");


Throws the following:

Exception in thread "main"
com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: No frame found (WARNING:

at BHTester.mainSanityTest.main(mainSanityTest.java:39)

When I use MS: Developer tools, or Debug bar, I see the IFRAME (There
are two of them). I'm selecting an index of 1 since it is the 2nd
frame I want.

If I try the selectFrame code using Selenium RC1, I get no error
(However, I'm still unable to click on the element).


Any ideas?

sounds like a potential bug in the WebDriverBackedSelenium...

Since you have the WebDriver, you can convert that line to the new API:

driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElements(By.tagName("iframe")).get(0));

.get(1)   for the second one :)

[Douglas Pennington]

Okay, that workds! Thank you.

However, when I go to run this line

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//html/body/div/div")).click();

I'm getting element not found.

If I go back one level in the DOM
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//html/body/div")).click();

I'm able to click. Any idea on why going down on level down the tree
would not find the element? I'm trying to navigate down to a span
tag that has
a class of class="mostRecentItemArrow toggleClosed"

I'd like to show someone the DOM from Debug bar, but unfortunately
can't attach screenshots in this group.

Hi Douglas Pennington , You can try any  code shown below. 1)selenium.selectFrame("xpath=//iframe[contains(@title,'Rich text editor')]"); or selenium.selectFrame("relative=up"); or selenium.selectFrame("relative=top"); or driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElements(By.tagName("iframe").get(0)); or driver.switchTo().frame("frame1");
