Example code for using the Selenium 2 Python bindings.

selenium-examples.py

# To install the Python client library:
# pip install -U selenium

# Import the Selenium 2 namespace (aka "webdriver")
from selenium import webdriver

# iPhone
driver = webdriver.Remote(browser_name="iphone", command_executor='http://172.24.101.36:3001/hub')

# Android
driver = webdriver.Remote(browser_name="android", command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:8080/hub')

# Google Chrome 
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# Firefox 
driver = webdriver.Firefox()

# ------------------------------
# The actual test scenario: Test the codepad.org code execution service.

# Go to codepad.org
driver.get('http://codepad.org')

# Select the Python language option
python_link = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//input[@name='lang' and @value='Python']")[0]
python_link.click()

# Enter some text!
text_area = driver.find_element_by_id('textarea')
text_area.send_keys("print 'Hello,' + ' World!'")

# Submit the form!
submit_button = driver.find_element_by_name('submit')
submit_button.click()

# Make this an actual test. Isn't Python beautiful?
assert "Hello, World!" in driver.get_page_source()

# Close the browser!
driver.quit()

I gotta say ... I REALLY appreciated stumbling onto this! Thank you!!

I was facing a need to use Selenium on one project and a need to start learning Python for another. Doing both together seemed like a good idea, but I figured I'd need several days to figure out how to do it. Bingo! You got me up and running in 10 minutes! Great!

one small thing though -- "AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'get_page_source'"

After a quick Google around, I found that this works, instead -- assert "Hello, World!" in driver.page_source

there is some update maybe

from selenium import webdriver
capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities()
driver = webdriver.Remote(command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:8080/wd/hub', desired_capabilities=capabilities.ANDROID)
driver.get('http://www.douban.com')

This is indeed very beautiful. Thank you!

Worked fine for Chrome and Firefox,
But getting the below ERROR when I run the script for Android on Android 4.1.2 rooted phone.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/SURESH/Downloads/gist830011-f40c4473d6e73fbc22d0c9ad3ab2d3f6e9f1be70/selenium-examples.py", line 11, in
driver = webdriver.Remote(browser_name="android", command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:8080/hub')
TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'browser_name'

hi i was working on a python script once we use the click function and reach an other page then how can i continue the same process of searching and clicking on the next page?

Hi.. When i am trying to execute this script, i am getting error :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\selenium\selenium-Example.py", line 42, in
assert "Hello, World!" in driver.get_page_source()
AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'get_page_source'

How to get over from this error???

if after clicking submit ,i am going to a link,so how do i write ?

After running:

$ Xvfb :99 &
$ export DISPLAY=:99

I made several changes to make the code from GitHub run (on Ubuntu/FireFox).
Following is my changed code:

# To install the Python client library:
# pip install -U selenium

from __future__ import print_function

# Import the Selenium 2 namespace (aka "webdriver")
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities

# iPhone
# driver = webdriver.Remote(browser_name="iphone", command_executor='http://172.24.101.36:3001/hub')
# Android
# driver = webdriver.Remote(browser_name="android", command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:8080/hub')
# Google Chrome 
# driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# Firefox 
# driver = webdriver.Firefox()

# per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37761668/cant-open-browser-with-selenium-after-firefox-update/37765661
firefox_capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
firefox_capabilities['marionette'] = True
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities)

# ------------------------------
# The actual test scenario: Test the codepad.org code execution service.

# Go to codepad.org
driver.get('http://codepad.org')

# Select the Python language option
python_link = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//input[@name='lang' and @value='Python']")[0]
python_link.click()

# Enter some text!
text_area = driver.find_element_by_id('textarea')
text_area.send_keys("print 'Hello,' + ' World!'")

# Submit the form!
submit_button = driver.find_element_by_name('submit')
submit_button.click()

# Make this an actual test. Isn't Python beautiful?
#assert "Hello, World!" in driver.get_page_source()
html_source = driver.page_source
print ("html_source:",html_source)
hello_in_html = "Hello, World!" in html_source

# Close the browser!
driver.quit()

assert hello_in_html

How to find drop down list in python selenium

driver.get("https://skpatro.github.io/demo")
driver.find_element_by_link_text("SignUp Form").click()

select = Select(driver.find_element_by_name("sgender"))
select.select_by_value("male")
print("Selected option " + select.first_selected_option.text)
opts = select.options
print("Available options are")
for opt in opts:
    print(opt.text)
time.sleep(3)
driver.quit()

Updated the code as I got error with the above example due to change in element name.

# To install the Python client library:
# pip install -U selenium

# Import the Selenium 2 namespace (aka "webdriver")
from selenium import webdriver

# iPhone
driver = webdriver.Remote(browser_name="iphone", command_executor='http://172.24.101.36:3001/hub')

# Android
driver = webdriver.Remote(browser_name="android", command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:8080/hub')

# Google Chrome 
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# Firefox 
driver = webdriver.Firefox()

# ------------------------------
# The actual test scenario: Test the codepad.org code execution service.

# Go to codepad.org
driver.get('http://codepad.org')

# Select the Python language option
python_link = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//input[@name='lang' and @value='Python']")[0]
python_link.click()

# Enter some text!
text_area = driver.find_element_by_id('textarea')
text_area.send_keys("print 'Hello,' + ' World!'")

# Submit the form!
submit_button = driver.find_element_by_class_name('g-recaptcha')
submit_button.click()

# Make this an actual test. Isn't Python beautiful?
assert "Hello, World!" in driver.get_page_source()

# Close the browser!
driver.quit()

With the PhantomJS WebDriver being deprecated nowadays, it's handy to know how to use the Chrome WebDriver headless.

Here's how to do that:

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('headless')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
