Find element with xpath failed #107

Closed WeiweiCaiAcpt closed 1 week ago

WeiweiCaiAcpt commented 2 weeks ago

I want to get the Windows desktop ToolBar element in my UI testing. When using FlaUInspect to capture it and the xpath shows in FlaUInspect is "/Pane/ToolBar". image

But I always get "OpenQA.Selenium.NoSuchElementException: No element found with selector 'xpath' and value '//ToolBar'" exception when using driver.FindElementByXPath() method.

Below are the code that we have tried, but non of them are working.

 var toolbar =  driver.FindElementByXPath("/Pane/ToolBar");
 var toolbar =  driver.FindElementByXPath("//Pane/ToolBar");
 var toolbar =  driver.FindElementByXPath("//ToolBar");

Are there anything missing when passing xpath to the method?

How are you initializing the driver? Are you using the "Root" app like in https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI.WebDriver/issues/59?

@bmarroquin Thanks for looking into this issue.

Yes, I use the "Root" app to initialize the driver. I use the same code as this file to initialize the driver: src/FlaUI.WebDriver.UITests/TestUtil/FlaUIAppiumDriverOptions.cs

In https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI.WebDriver/issues/59, I see it has been completed on Aug 26. And the FlaUI.WebDriver.exe I used is v0.3.1, which is released on Sep 30. So I think it should be supported to find the desktop element.

This was merged in https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI.WebDriver/commit/666feb62d05a147439b20976e5c2a2084ef55761 which is tag v0.3.2. Could you try updating?

I have get the latest version of code and try the FindElement_ByXPath_ReturnsElement() test method in FindElementsTests.cs.

By default, it can find the element when using "//Text" as XPath for the WPF Test Application. And if I tried to get the Taskbar (the parent of Toolbar) with "//Pane" as XPath, the test method can pass.

But if I modify the XPath to "//ToolBar", the test method will failed with error "No element found with selector 'xpath' and value '//ToolBar'". (Also tried with "//Pane/ToolBar" as XPath.)

The same result in my UI Test case.

Background of test scenario: We want to minimize the desktop application window. Then will maximize it from toolbar to restore its window.

Sometimes Windows UI Automation seems to not find elements from the root, but only from a parent. Could you try first locating the pane, and then finding elements from the pane?

Yes, I tried with find pane first, then use pane.FindElement(By.Name("")) or pane.FindElement(By.XPath("")) to try find its child element. But unfortunately, both of them are not work.
