How to ignore hidden frames in Webdriver

[sujata]

Hi Tarun,

Is there a way to ignore hidden frames using Webdriver? As can be done using registry settings with QTP

Thanks,
Sujata

not quite sure what you are referring ignoring hidden frame, could you please elaborate?

[sujata]

Hi Tarun,

There is a frame on a page in our application which loads asynchronously, and due to this not able to perform any operation on the page (when automating it).

Though the elements on the page are visible.

Can you help?

Thanks,
Sujata

You can try waiting for it either implicitly or explicitly in Web driver. Have you tried this?

[sujata]

Yes.. Have tried both implicit and explicit wait, but these do not help

Then I would have to ask you to post you code and small html of frame.
It is difficult to answer this question with out more details.

Hi Tarun,

Part of the frame goes like this:


<IFRAME id="hdnAutoCompleteFrame" style="DISPLAY: none" src="/Workspace/Blank.html"></IFRAME><IFRAME id="workframe" style="DISPLAY: none" name="workframe" src="/Workspace/Blank.html"></IFRAME><IFRAME id="historyframe" style="DISPLAY: none" name="historyframe" src="/Workspace/History.html?PgID=9c9e5385-3755-48dd-915e-87c1f53679bd" onload="if(typeof historyFrameLoad == 'function')historyFrameLoad(this);"></IFRAME>

Part of my code goes like this:

page.Login(driver, sURL, sUsername, sPassword);
System.out.println("Logged in");
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("go"));
element.click();

I do not get the print statement on the console as well. The button does not get clicked.

Thanks,
Sujata

Do you encounter any exception eventually? Also which version of WebDriver are you using?

[sujata]

No exception. There is no operation performed, so have to stop the test run.
Webdriver version is 2.21.0
