It’s been a few years since I last did python - am I right in thinking it’s possible to provide a better message when the exception is raised?

thats the java exception trying to use the clickable EC on something that doesnt exist

it tells you exactly whats wrong

Emm. Idk if you're serious or not, WhereIsMySpoon. :P You think that's readable?

Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"id","selector":"asdkjhasdjkhkauifgweiuf234"}

yes?

read a few lines and its obvious

Yeeea. And it might be useful for harder problems.

So I'll try to make something that returns my exceptions as output and native exceptions writes to log file.

you could just write some wrappers, like an EC clickable wrapper that runs the EC clickable class, and does a try-except around it catching no such element exceptions only

I'll google now how to change exception's message and then how to make new exception type.

and outputs a special message on those

and anything else it propagates the exception up

home time

Thanks for helping.

I am looking for some resources on the proper way to inject the IWebDriver class using an IoC container.

justin8766,

hey

Were you asking the other day about timeouts?

yah

thankyou i'll have to read that a little later

Hello guys, I want to get updated html from a page every 5min, what's the best way to do it, I thought about opening the page and keep comparing the source when there's a change somehow substract the two sources

My question is about selenium webdriver, is this the appropriate place to ask such a question?

Is there someone here?

im not sure what your asking

I have a web page, that gets updated every 5min, the same html with few changes in text

I want to print the changed text

how would you do it?

just like printing a diff of the page source to the old page source every 5 minutes?

WebDriver.getPageSource ?

StringUtils.difference(prevSource, driver.getPageSource);

Ah yes, there will be something similar to that in python

Thank you

the page source doesnt change, you'd ahve to get the innerhtml

yes .get_attribute('innerHTML')

Thank you
