RSelenium - NoSuchElement even though xpath is being used?-CodePudding

I'm trying to use find element to enter a username. This is the HTML

UPDATED: Added site - https://riversidescore.com/

<input  type="text" placeholder="Username" id="fld_tb_3" tabindex="0" maxlength="128" aria-required="true" aria-labelledby="userLbl" value="">

Although that id=fld_tb_3 is dynamic and changes when data is entered into the field.

This is the full xpath

/html/body/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[2]/form/div/div[1]/input

And the xpath

//*[@id="fld_tb_31"]

I am trying to use the following code but the element is not being found. I even tried using the class to no luck. Class

remDr$findElement(
  using ='xpath', "//div[@class='login-input']/html/body/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[2]/form/div/div[1]/input"
)

Wildcard

remDr$findElement(
  using ='xpath', "//*[starts-with(@id,'fld_tb_')/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[2]/form/div/div[1]/input"
)

What am I doing wrong?

CodePudding user response：

We can do,

#enter username
user <- remDr$findElement(using = 'xpath', value = '/html/body/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[2]/form/div/div[1]/input')
user$sendKeysToElement(list("my_username"))

#enter passowrd (has to use full xpath)
pass <- remDr$findElement(using = 'xpath', value = '/html/body/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[2]/form/div/div[4]/input')
pass$sendKeysToElement(list("my_password"))

#click on login  
remDr$findElement(using = "xpath",'//*[@id="root"]/div/div[1]/div[2]/form/div/input')$clickElement()

CodePudding user response：

Try to identify the element with following xpath for username.

//input[@placeholder='Username' and @class='login-input']

so your code will be

 remDr$findElement(
  using ='xpath', "//input[@placeholder='Username' and @class='login-input']"
)

xpath for password element

//input[@placeholder='Password' and @class='login-input']

xpath for sign in button

//input[@value='Sign In' and @class='login-button']
