Ok, so the text in the headers, is located in span tags, inside divf without unique ids. Those are children (twice removed) of divs that are siblings of divs that contain children containing rows in the grids.

*divs

Fuck this html. x.

*x.x

(I swear a lot, let me know if it bothers anyone)

sooo... //span[text()='sometext']/../../../../div[contains(@id, 'row6jqxWidget')]

or whatever you want to use for id

So it just knows to go up two, over three, down two etc?

that xpath says from the span, go up 4, then search for the div with that partial id

Ah, gotcha.

we go up 4 because you said the span is 3 layers down from the divs that are siblings

so we need to go up once more to get the parent of all of those

Yep.

then we have the final selector

Alright, let me see if I can make that work.

Has anyone had issues installing SafariDriver on v 9.0.1?

Has anyone had experience with the SafariDriver?

Rabid: the extension? as far as i'm aware, the open-source safari driver has been entirely deprecated.

How do you connect to Safari? I tried the server-standalone but safari is not an option

(and it wasn't that well supported to begin with)

v2.53.1 and v3.0

Rabid: how do i connect to safari now? i use apple's safari driver. :)

(which should be supported by all of the project-provided language bindings now, afaik)

and wont work with <10, right?

or am i thinking of the other thing

I need a RemoteWebDriver support for Safari

:log

truth be told, though apple's safari driver implementation is still under development, so it has some issues still-to-be-worked-out. and it's safari 10 or higher, only.

am i thinking of the tech preview

Balls. It keeps choking on my wait.

Is Apple's Safari Driver a RemoteWebDriver implementation?

ah no thats a different question altogether, never mind me

Rabid: the safaridriver has nothing to do with remotewebdriver

Rabid: what language bindings are you using?

WhereIsMySpoon: Valid xpath? '//span[@text = "Location Description"]/../../../../../div[contains(@id, "row0jqxWidget")]/div[2]/div'

safaridriver itself, is the thing that drives the browser, like chromedriver or iedriver

C# and Java

Lord_Drake: no

/div[2]/div not ok?

Lord_Drake: //span[text()="Location Description"]

Oh

*facepalm*

not sure that [2] is valid either like that

Rabid: then, if you're using the .NET bindings, you should be able to connect directly using the SafariDriver class (assuming you're executing the code using mono or similar)

im pretty certain you need brackets around everything before the [2]

I recall using something like that. Let me go back and look.

WhereIsMySpoon: the [2] is valid

(//span[text()=Description"]/../../../../../div[contains(@id, "row0jqxWidget")]/div)[2]/div

lukeis: ^ like that though, no?

nope

Rabid: let me rephrase that. you need to be running your .NET code directly on the mac in order for that to work

good luck running .net code on anything but windows

fuck that shit

*mutter*

WhereIsMySpoon: i've been able to successfully do that, so ease the fuck off.

his way says essentially div#row0jqxWidget > div:nth-child(2)

do it sure. have it work in a timely and useful fashion, nope :P

lukeis: i know, i just thought you needed brackets

nope, you don't

hm, ok

i guess you can ignore me on that count then Lord_Drake

Wait the whole point of RemoteWebDriver is to run scripts against a remote machine

Mmk

That can't be done with MAC?

Rabid: it can be done… what's the issue?

Rabid: i'm not entirely sure if the java remote implementation has been updated to handle safari driver capabilities. if so, all you'd need do is create a RemoteWebDriver instance, using the .ToCapabilities() method on the SafariOptions object as your capabilities.

but i've not actually tried that to make sure it'll work.

Nope, still hanging.

Rabid: please don't pm :) you run the standalone server (java) on the mac… run your code from your host machine… point to it with IP / hostname

We are currently using C# .NET 4.6.1 implementation

lukeis the standalone server for 2.53.1 and 3.0 does not have safari as an option

yes, yes it does

I get all other options in the static/resources/hub.html not with safari

what are you doing?

Am I doing osmething wrong?

*something

Lord_Drake: i dont see "Location Description" anywhere in the html you've given me so i cant see if its wrong or not really, other than im not sure if the spaces are legal

around the =

"text() =" is an exact match btw, so if there are any spaces in that span text after or before the words, it wont match

No, it's not on that page.

you can use contains(text(), 'mytext') if you want to do a partial

I'm testing another grid atm. They're built basically the same way.

I launch seleneium-server-standalone-2.53.1.jar -port 4444 and when I visit http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub/static/resources/h... : create session has no dropdown for Safari

it's a valid xpath… can't tell if it works without looking at the DOM in question though Lord_Drake :)

I know. Unfortunately it would take too long to rip the data out of this grid to show you.

Rabid: why don't you use RemoteWebDriver to start a session… i don't think we tried to wire in support to that with safari

I do, and it crashes

I use my C# code to point to that machine and it throws an exception

:gist the stacktrace?

Please paste >3 lines of text to https://gist.github.com

1 sec

Rabid: are you using safari 10?

9.0.1

didnt jim say it only works on 10+?

Rabid: the exception is telling you exactly what the problem is.

it says it right there

SafariDriver requires Safari 10 running on OSX El Capitan or greater.

>_>

because the extension-based safari driver was deprecated in favor of apple's implementation, but apple's implementation requires safari 10.

if you want to use 9.X then you must use selenium server 2.53.1 and install the selenium extension

otherwise… just upgrade safari ;)

Can we use Safari 10+ with selenium 2.53.1?

no

That's why I was doing the selenium extension but it won't install on the machine

did you download and manually install the extension to safari?

(it's a one-time thing to do on Safari 9 and earlier)

I am VNC'd into the Mac, click and choose Trust, then nothing happens

is it in the list of extensions installed? preferences, extensions tab

Nope, nothings showing up

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Even after I click trust when it pops up
