You mean Selenium WebDriver? Huh....
Prerequisite: Install Python based on your OS
Install with following command
pip install -U selenium
And use this module in your code
from selenium import webdriver
You can also use many of the following as required
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
I would recommend you to run script without IDE... Here is my approach
An example below shows login page automation
#ScriptName : Login.py
#---------------------
from selenium import webdriver
#Following are optional required
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
baseurl = "http://www.mywebsite.com/login.php"
username = "admin"
password = "admin"
xpaths = { 'usernameTxtBox' : "//input[@name='username']",
'passwordTxtBox' : "//input[@name='password']",
'submitButton' : "//input[@name='login']"
}
mydriver = webdriver.Firefox()
mydriver.get(baseurl)
mydriver.maximize_window()
#Clear Username TextBox if already allowed "Remember Me"
mydriver.find_element_by_xpath(xpaths['usernameTxtBox']).clear()
#Write Username in Username TextBox
mydriver.find_element_by_xpath(xpaths['usernameTxtBox']).send_keys(username)
#Clear Password TextBox if already allowed "Remember Me"
mydriver.find_element_by_xpath(xpaths['passwordTxtBox']).clear()
#Write Password in password TextBox
mydriver.find_element_by_xpath(xpaths['passwordTxtBox']).send_keys(password)
#Click Login button
mydriver.find_element_by_xpath(xpaths['submitButton']).click()
There is an another way that you can find xpath of any object -
Run script -
python Login.py
You can also use a CSS selector instead of xpath. CSS selectors are slightly faster than xpath in most cases, and are usually preferred over xpath (if there isn't an ID attribute on the elements you're interacting with).
Firepath can also capture the object's locator as a CSS selector if you move your cursor to the object. You'll have to update your code to use the equivalent find by CSS selector method instead -
find_element_by_css_selector(css_selector)
