Hi. I'm a newbie to using selenium with python. I've a question here..
Can we provide the login credentials in our script so that even that is automated.
Currently the script stops at the login page.
How do we do that if we can?

@suprith4989 I would do this

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

import unittest

class LoginTest(unittest.TestCase):

def setUp(self):
    self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()
    self.driver.get("https://www.facebook.com/")

def test_Login(self):
    driver = self.driver
    facebookUsername = "[email protected]"
    facebookPassword = "Passw0rd123"
    emailFieldID = "email"
    passFieldID = "pass"
    loginButtonXpath = "//input[@value='Log In']"
    facebookLogo = "/html/body/div/div[1]/div/div/div/div[1]/div/h1/a"

    emailFieldElement = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(lambda driver: driver.find_element_by_id(emailFieldID))
    passFieldElement = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(lambda driver: driver.find_element_by_id(passFieldID))
    loginButtonElement = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(lambda driver: driver.find_element_by_xpath(loginButtonXpath))

    emailFieldElement.clear()
    emailFieldElement.send_keys(facebookUsername)
    passFieldElement.clear()
    passFieldElement.send_keys(facebookPassword)
    loginButtonElement.click()
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(lambda driver: driver.find_element_by_xpath(facebookLogo))

def tearDown(self):
    self.driver.quit()

if name == 'main':
unittest.main()

How can I use assert/verify for this same test to check the name of the user (assert that the username is visible)?

Please someone tell me what is the use of this line ?

elem = driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".input.textInput")

And....this ...
elem = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input[value="Publicar"]")

@vivekiyer114 : according to this http://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/api.html driver.find_element_by_css_selector for search and match from css website.

Hi,

I have wrote the script that automates the Facebook login, status updates and likes (can select the user). Have a look at GitHub

Thanks
