pycharmers.utils.driver_utils.get_driver(driver_type='local', chrome_options=None, browser=False, selenium_port='4444')

Get a driver that works in your current environment.

Parameters

• driver_type (str) – driver type. (default= DRIVER_TYPE)

• chrome_options (ChromeOptions) – Instance of ChromeOptions. If not specify, use get_chrome_options() to get default options.

• browser (bool) – Whether you want to run Chrome with GUI browser. (default= False )

pycharmers.utils.driver_utils.try_find_element(driver, by, identifier, timeout=3, verbose=True)

Find an element given a By strategy and locator.

Wrap with try_wrapper to handle the error so that the programs does not stop in a series of processes.

Parameters

• driver (WebDriver) – Selenium WebDriver.

• by (str) – Locator strategies. See 4. Locating Elements — Selenium Python Bindings 2 documentation

• identifier (str) – Identifier to find the element

• timeout (int) – Number of seconds before timing out (default= 3)

• verbose (bool) – Whether you want to print output or not. (default= True )

Examples

>>> from pycharmers.utils import get_driver, try_find_element
>>> with get_driver() as driver:
...     driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
...     e = try_find_element(driver=driver, by="tag name", identifier="img")
Succeeded to locate element with tag name=img

pycharmers.utils.driver_utils.try_find_element_send_keys(driver, by=None, identifier=None, values=(), target=None, timeout=3, verbose=True)

Find an element given a By strategy and locator, and Simulates typing into the element.

Wrap with try_wrapper to handle the error so that the programs does not stop in a series of processes.

Parameters

• by (str) –

  Locator strategies. See 4. Locating Elements — Selenium Python Bindings 2 documentation

• identifier (str) – Identifier to find the element

• values (tuple) – A string for typing, or setting form fields. For setting file inputs, this could be a local file path.

• target (WebElement) – Represents a DOM element. (If you already find element)

• timeout (int) – Number of seconds before timing out (default= 3)

pycharmers.utils.driver_utils.click()

function for differentiation

pycharmers.utils.driver_utils.pass_forms(driver, **kwargs)

Pass through forms.

You can check the example in passthrough_base

Todo

Currently, only "id" is supported as Locator strategies. Need to be selectable for generality
