Hi I am new to Selenium Webdriver. I can successfully open a webpage and find elements on it.
In one case I have noted that there is a link on a page that becomes clickable after a while. In Firebug on the Script tab, I can see the code for the javascript that does the timer function.
But using Selenium Webdriver if I issue:
driver.PageSource
I cannot see the source code for the Javascript. Delaying for 30 seconds before requesting the source makes no difference. I have tried finding it with various By options using:
driver.FindElement
and so on, but it isnt there.
How does firebug manage to find and show the Javascript source code? Is there a way that I can coerce Selenium Webdriver to return all code referenced by the page?
Or is there a better approach?
Thanks for any advice!
EDIT---------------------
I tried the following in Firefox:
Dim Driver2 As IWebDriver = New Chrome.ChromeDriver
Driver2.Url = "http://mypage"
Dim js As IJavaScriptExecutor = TryCast(Driver2, IJavaScriptExecutor)
Dim title As String = DirectCast(js.ExecuteScript("return JSON.stringify(window)"), String)
and I got
Permission denied to access property 'toJSON'
I read that this wont work in firefox so I tried in Chrome, and got
Blocked a frame with origin "http://mypage" from accessing a cross-origin frame
and from there no solutions because according to this its a security restriction, apparently you can't access an with Javascript
I'm starting to think Im a bit out of my depth here.
