my code currently is:
driver.get("http://w2.leisurelink.lcsd.gov.hk/index/index.jsp")
window1 = driver.window_handles[0]
facility_basic_version = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div[3]/div[2]/div/div[3]/div/div[3]/div[1]/table/tbody/tr/td/div")
facility_basic_version.click()
# deselect selected captcha
window2 = driver.window_handles[1]
driver.switch_to.window(window2)
WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//div[#class="kbkey button red_selected sel"]'))).click()
#Solve Captcha here
#
#
#
# Click continue at specific time
while len(driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//div[#class="kbkey button red_selected sel"]')) < 4:
print('captcha not done')
pyautogui.moveTo(634, 586, 0.5, pyautogui.easeInQuad)
time.sleep(0.3)
pyautogui.mouseDown()
pyautogui.mouseUp()
print('captcha done')
time.sleep(100)
I have a section to solve captcha, but since I haven't implemented that part yet, for testing purposes I am still solving captcha manually.
The problem: after solving captcha, I want to click the continue button. However, if try to find the element, then click on button, I would be met with an error (site knows I am using automation). I tried just starting up chromedriver, doing all the steps the bot would do manually and click the continue button manually, and the site would allow me to continue to next page. Hence, I tried using pyautogui to simulate mouse movement but still site gives me error.
A captcha is by definition designed to prevent automation, so I'm not surprised this does not work.
You might still be able to find a workaround and this might help: https://www.browserstack.com/guide/how-to-handle-captcha-in-selenium

Image speaks for itself; this script is on the debugger's ignore list; yet every time I trigger this exception it is paused upon. I cannot uncheck Pause on caught exceptions because I am trying to pause on a caught exception in another startup script.
Devtools says The debugger will skip stepping through this script, and will not stop on exceptions, but it's doing just that, it is not skipping this script.
I've tried several things, like unignoring/reignoring. Using canary, etc. I have this problem on both my windows and osx machines; so it doesn't seem to be particularly related to my environment.
I am wondering if anyone else has run into this and found a workaround. Thank you.
Problem remains unsolved. Leaving this post here with some unsucessfull tentatives of mine, so someone can build something based on them.
1. Devtools extension API
It is possible to create an add-on that can reach the Developer Tools window and even reach the Sources tab, but once there all I could do was creating new sidepanels or attaching a listener to code text selection changes: chrome.devtools.panels.sources.onSelectionChanged.addListener((x)=>{console.log("onselectionchanged");console.dir(x);});
This API was not enough, could not reach debug status or any interesting sidepanel.
2. Debugging the debugger with a JS debugger
By hitting ctrl-shift-i or ctrl-shift-j over a devtools debug window it is possible to open another devtools debug window, debuging the first one. From there it is possible to write code that detects the banner informing that the file was supposed to be ignored and then click on the continue button:
function breakpointskipper() {
bnr = document.getElementById("sources-panel-sources-view").querySelector("div.vbox.flex-auto > div > div > div > div.flex-none > div");
if (!bnr) return;
bnr = bnr.shadowRoot;
if (!bnr) return;
bnr = bnr.querySelector("div");
if (bnr.ariaLabel != "This script is blackboxed in the debugger") return;
btn = document.querySelector("div.scripts-debug-toolbar.toolbar");
if (!btn) return;
btn = btn.shadowRoot;
if (!btn) return;
btn = btn.querySelector("div > button[aria-label=\"Resume script execution\"]");
if (!btn) return;
btn.click();
}
It is possible to even attach this breakpontskipper() button presser to an event in the devtools window and automate things, but as soon as you close the debugger being debugged window, it is all over and you have to recreate the code and reattach again. As said before, I wasn't able to make any add-on reach here.
3. Debugging the debugger with a native debugger
One last available option would be using GDB to debug the DevTools and change its behavior, in the chromium documentation it is shown that they have debug symbols available but I didn't try this approach.
Please try the troubleshooting help, and share some feedback. Also it would help greatly if you pasted some script here.
Please check if your script black boxed like here
Did you accidentally turn on - break on all exceptions see here
Force a hard refresh, i.e. clear you cache like here
Turn off all break points, then do a restore, try again.
More from ref. on chromium bug site
Update 1: Can you please verify/double check that your file to ignore is actually added to the ignore list.
If you know upfront which files to ignore, head over to Developer Tools > Settings (Cog Icon) > Ignore List. Then add a file name or regex pattern you wish to exclude.
You should see something like
hi im using laravel 8 and my software is pos ..
everything working so good but i have big problem ..
thats sometimes the cashier can refresh the page when the customer is gone without save the invoice
..
so what i did is this ..
document.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
e = e || window.event;
if(e.keyCode == 116)
{
var is_admin = $("#is_admin").val();
if(is_admin != 1)
{
e.preventDefault();
// this code here will not allow f5 to work
}
}
});
but the cashiers goes to the address bar and hit enter and like that he refresh the page
also sometimes they hit the refresh button beside url bar
so i start chrome in kisok mode in full screen
but the problem thats he can move the mouse to the top of the browser and the url bar will show again and he can do refresh page ..
so the solution for my problem is there any way to set password in chrome when refresh the page or close the chrome or is there any way to start chrome without close bar and url bar in kisok mode
thanks ..
Based on my research I didn't find anything related to setting a password in chrome for closing, instead, I have other solutions that may help you by considering this closing/refreshing issue happens accidentally.
#1st Solution - Closure Extension
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/closure/jjagagcgljmlnihcilbpbfcglnopepjb
a very simple extension that works by locking the current browser tab. Click the toolbar icon or right-click on a page and select “Confirm Closure”. The favicon for the website in the current tab will turn into a padlock.
if the cashier clicked on the refresh button or the closing button a confirmation popup will show up.
#2nd Solution - Disable Close Button
checkout these 5 software that claims to prevent accidental closing of software by disabling the close button
https://www.raymond.cc/blog/prevent-program-closing-disabling-close-button/
#3rd Solution - Saving Draft.
The last solution I have is a workaround you can make by using
window.addEventListener('beforeunload', function (e) {
// saving current invoice in localstorage to be retrieved later
});
// check this answer
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13443503/run-javascript-code-on-window-close-or-page-refresh
beforeunload event, so you can save a draft of the current invoice in locale storage before closing the window, but you are should be very aware of how to manage these drafts, when to retrieve them, and when to clean them.
Also, you can use service workers if you choose this kind of solution.
Again, this all about if the cashier accidentally makes this behavior, which I think he must be aware of what he is doing, so you are making your validations as you can to prevent such behavior and make your system as robust as possible, I encourage you to think of this problem in a technical way then you should take the 3rd solution, and for the client just offer him the other 2 solutions which I see they will work well, otherwise, if the client wants to make something wrong in purpose then it will be his responsibility.
Here is my task scenario… if id appears on the page then click
Else click other options
When I run the program it does work for the if condition as it appears on the page and its click the button but when I run the program for the other user and it doesn’t appear on the page it should click on the else condition but it's still looking for the if condition and gets failed.
How I can overcome this issue. Any idea, please. Thank you
I have tried selenium API control flow example as well as different forum example but did not work so far.
Command Target Value
store id
if ${id} = 'spellcheck-save'
click id=spellcheck-save
else
click css=.md-button > .fa-save
end
HTML Screenshot
I have a weird situation. One of my users is using functionality of Chrome (current version, 49, 50), that he drags and drops a file from his folder on local computer to normal input type=file button in a form on the webpage. Once again, let me stress it even more, its normal html input, no fancy javascript, no drag&drop events and handlers, nothing like this. It just takes the name of the dragged file and puts it into the input field, as like he selected it via "normal" way, opening the file select window, locating file on harddrive, selecting the file and confirming.
In some specific situation, this stops working (while doing some edits in the page via javascript / ajax), and I need to "reenable" it.
But, and that is my question, I haven't found any documentation of this "feature" in Google Chrome (or maybe some other browsers as well, I don't know). Why it works, how it works, how it should work and what to do if it stops working :) Does anyone has any experience with this ? The only way how to "fix" it now is to reload the page. I'd love to solve it ... :)
EDIT 1 : I just did a quick test, it works and bugs the same way in Firefox on Win. It doesn't show any error in dev console or any message, it just doesn't add the file as expected.
I've found it. The previous discussion with deceze pointed me to test the javascripts I have on the page, that do not "interfere" with the input type=file ... they weren't any such scripts, but I've found that after doubleclick on the table (that I'm using for editing) this script is being called
$(document).bind('drop dragover', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
and there wasn't any unbind action when table is saved ... this caused the drag and drop everywhere on the page to stop working after the edit.
BACKGROUND:
When you have a page that includes an HTML form, and you refresh/reload the page or use the back button, Firefox is kind enough to repopulate your inputs with what was entered before you navigated away.
PROBLEM:
For some use-cases, this is not the desired functionality. Fortunately, there are ways around this behavior if you are willing to use one of the "redraw without caching" options below:
redraw without caching ;; Press CTRL+F5
redraw without caching ;; Press form "Reset" button while holding SHIFT
redraw without caching ;; Cut the address from the address bar, Paste it back into the address bar, press ENTER
redraw with caching ;; Press F5
The problem is, not all users know these options, and some just want a simple "Reset" button that they can click on with the mouse without having to use the keyboard.
QUESTION:
Is there a way to get Firefox to do a "redraw without caching" in a way that lets the user simply click on a button with the mouse, and not have to use the keyboard?
For the sake of completeness:
<script>
document.FORMNAME.reset()
</script>
It resets the form with the name FORMNAME on every reload of the page.
Method 1:
Holding Shift + clicking the Refresh button will do a refresh without cache. This isn't a mouse only, but this is the closest I can think of while using the mouse.
Method 2:
If you really want to use no mouse, on a Mac, you can drag and hold the favicon off the URL bar, then drag and drop it back into the URL bar. Can't confirm on Windows, and this just seems more confusing than holding Shift.
Method 3: Install Hard Refresh add-on, which installs ability in context menu.
How about a link to the same URL that the user is currently on?
Since the browser treats it as a navigation, rather than a refresh/reload, the form data won't be remembered.
Note that "reset" is a different term used specifically for reverting forms to their original state without reloading the page, as in <input type="reset">, don't confuse it with refresh/reload which are terms for getting a page to be requested again from the server
