Selenium - Problems while selecting date in webpage-CodePudding

I am trying to select some data from webpage: https://indiawris.gov.in/wris/#/groundWater I am facing problem while picking the start and end dates in the webpage. I have made an attempt using a code similar to this earlier, but here it did not work.

#code snippet tried for date picking earlier which is not working now
    startdate_ele = driver.find_element_by_id('start_date_1')
    startdate_ele.clear()
    startdate = '2016/11/01' ## set the start date
    end_date_ele = driver.find_element_by_id('end_date_1')
    end_date_ele.clear()
    endDate ='2017/07/31'   ## set the end date for files to download
    startdate_ele.send_keys(startdate)
    time.sleep(5)
    end_date_ele.send_keys(endDate)

Following is the current code.

#functional code that does selection prior to the date picking

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium import webdriver
import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

path2 = r"F:\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=path2)
driver.maximize_window()

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 30)

driver.get("https://indiawris.gov.in/wris/#/groundWater")

# try:
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH, "//iframe[@class='ng-star-inserted']")))
print('Switched successfully to iframe')
ele = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='views']//label[contains(.,'Basin')]//input")))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", ele)
print('Clicked on basin button')
sourceDrop = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="applications"]/div[2]/div/groundwater-sidebar/div/div[2]')
sourceItems = sourceDrop.find_elements_by_class_name('ng-star-inserted')
print("length",len(sourceItems))
actionChains = ActionChains(driver)
select = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="applications"]/div[2]/div/groundwater-sidebar/div/div[2]/select'))
select.select_by_visible_text('CGWB')

select = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="applications"]/div[2]/div/groundwater-sidebar/div/div[3]/select'))
select.select_by_visible_text('yyyyMMdd')

startdate_ele = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="applications"]/div[2]/div/groundwater-sidebar/div/div[4]/datepicker/div/input')
startdate_ele.clear()   
startdate = '03-January-2021' ## set the start date
end_date_ele = driver.find_element_by_id('end_date_1')
end_date_ele.clear()
endDate ='2017/07/31'   ## set the end date for files to download
startdate_ele.send_keys(startdate)
time.sleep(5)
end_date_ele.send_keys(endDate)

can some one help me in picking the dates from this portal to do the selection.

CodePudding user response：

There are several issues currently wrong with your code.

1. Use By.XPATH, By,CLASS_NAME, By.ID all of your items are depreciated.
2. select = Select(driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="applications"]/div[2]/div/groundwater-sidebar/div/div[3]/select'))
select.select_by_value('yyyyMMdd')

Using the wrong selection for the timestep

3. Target the input tag and send keys for start and stop they have something like

<input _ngcontent-qlb-c14="" bsdatepicker=""  readonly="" ng-reflect-klass="form-control" ng-reflect-ng- ng-reflect-bs-config="[object Object]" ng-reflect-is-disabled="true" ng-reflect-max-date="Sat Jan 09 2021 00:00:00 GMT-0" ng-reflect-name="to" placeholder="Select to date" style="">

For selecting Months below code will work to navigate w.r.t year we need to add more logic.

eleq = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"(//span[@class='input-group-addon pointer'])[1]")))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", eleq)

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(),'January')]").click()

#eleq = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//span[@class='input-group-addon pointer']")))
eleqy = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"(//span[@class='input-group-addon pointer'])[2]")))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", eleqy)

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(),'January')]").click()
