Selenium for-ops

This document summarizes using Selenium to automate filling out and submitting a recurring IT change request form. It provides code examples for locating elements, interacting with them by entering text, clicking buttons, and submitting the form. The automation took 3 hours to develop and paid for itself after one day of saved time. Future plans include running Selenium headlessly and integrating it with Ansible. Other potential uses are mentioned like measuring how long tasks take users.
![Problem? HTML injection
the id is a hash of something... different everytime
Let’s get the RichEditor’s class
1 e = "table.ms -formtable > tbody >
2 tr:nth -of -type (7) > td.ms -formbody >
3 span[dir=’none ’] > div >
4 div:nth -of -type (2)"
5 c=driver. find_element_by_css_selector (e)
6 .get_attribute("class")](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/selenium-for-ops-140622020044-phpapp02/85/Selenium-for-ops-11-320.jpg)
![Problem? HTML injection
We can not use webdriver.send keys() on that... it’s
inside the html code
We have to inject HTML with javascript
1 JS="document. getElementsByClassName ({0})[{1}]
2 .innerHTML =’{2}’".format(
3 CLASS_NAME , INDEX ,
4 "<marquee > WTF </marquee >"
5 )
6 driver.execute_script(JS)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/selenium-for-ops-140622020044-phpapp02/85/Selenium-for-ops-12-320.jpg)

Selenium for-ops
- 1. Selenium for OPS Admins Anonymous meetup #5 Lukasz Proszek lukasz@proszek.info 2014-06-17
- 2. Background You’re a BOFH at GlobalFskcup Ltd. Everyday you deal with numerous incidends. You have to seek approval and/or log every change made. The Head of IT has his favorite tool for that MacroHard PointShare form Rich editor filled form, with sparkling format choosers. Bells and whistles included
- 3. The soft problem Filling the form takes 5-20 minutes each time No PFY available to do the job Keeping templates in a text document... sooooo 1990 Browser plugins - does not recognize all of provided inputs curl - yeah right, like I have time for that
- 4. Selenium - basics 1 from selenium import webdriver 2 driver = webdriver.Firefox () 3 driver.get("http :// google.com") 4 driver. find_element_by_id ("...")
- 5. how to identify element → inspect element
- 6. Selenium - interact with webelement 1 from selenium import webdriver 2 driver = webdriver.Firefox () 3 driver.get("http :// google.com") 4 fld=driver. find_element_by_id (’gbqfq ’) 5 fld.send_keys(’Anonimowi Admini ’)
- 7. badumm tsss
- 9. Show me the code
- 10. What the fsck?
- 11. Problem? HTML injection the id is a hash of something... different everytime Let’s get the RichEditor’s class 1 e = "table.ms -formtable > tbody > 2 tr:nth -of -type (7) > td.ms -formbody > 3 span[dir=’none ’] > div > 4 div:nth -of -type (2)" 5 c=driver. find_element_by_css_selector (e) 6 .get_attribute("class")
- 12. Problem? HTML injection We can not use webdriver.send keys() on that... it’s inside the html code We have to inject HTML with javascript 1 JS="document. getElementsByClassName ({0})[{1}] 2 .innerHTML =’{2}’".format( 3 CLASS_NAME , INDEX , 4 "<marquee > WTF </marquee >" 5 ) 6 driver.execute_script(JS)

- 15. Sending the form 1 driver. find_elements_by_css_selector ( 2 "input[value=’Save ’][type=’button ’]" 3 ). click ()
- 16. Many python, such win 208 lines of Python virtualenv selenium for browser automation (pip install selenium) click for easy commandline (pip install click) path.py just because (pip install path.py) YAML for templates (pip instal pyYaML) keepass for credentials (pip install keepass)
- 17. outcome, further plans, other uses Outcome It took 3hrs to write It eared it’s keep after one day Further plans webdriver.PhantomJS() for headless operation ansible integration Other uses e.g. testing how long it takes the user to perform some action
- 18. Thank You wiki2beamer - latex-beamer made easy impressive - pdf presentations with sugar added http://github.com/frogu/presentations
