Python automation with selenium.

Automate with selenium

In this blog we are going to see how to automate some task with selenium.

Selenium is an opensource framework which is used for testing web application by scrapping into the web site.

To apply selenium in python for testing an application we need to follow some step.

So in these this blog we are going to explain how to use selenium to go to the google and search for shotwithcode blog and read the blog.

Step1: using pip in python we have to install selenium "pip install selenium"

Step2: We need a web driver in which it will run the browser and tell the browser what to do.

So if we use chrome we need to download chrome driver else if we use other browser then we need to download the web driver for that browser

You can download the Chrome web driver here https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

Remember to download the chrome driver related to the chrome version we have

Step3:After download the driver extract the file and save into a location which is easy to access i prefer to save in C drive

Step4:So now we have installed everything needed for our  project so now we need to right code to perform the task

Code:

  1. from selenium import webdriver
  2. PATH = "C:/chromedriver"
  3. driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
  4. driver.get('https://www.google.com')
  5. search = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
  6. search.send_keys('shotwithcode.blogspot.com')
  7. clic_k = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/form/div[2]/div[1]/div[3]/center/input[1]')
  8. click_k.click()
  9. next = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[7]/div[2]/div[10]/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[1]/a/div/cite')
  10. next.click()
  11. read = driver.find_element_by_xpath(' /html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/main/div/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[3]/div[2]/a')
  12. read.click() 

Let us talk about the line of code we wrote

So PATH is the path of the chrome driver which you have store the chrome driver

Line3: It open the chrome browser

Line4: After opening the browser it will go to google.com

Line5: Here we use find_element_by_name to get the input field we can get this by inspecting the element

Line6: send_keys actually filling the input field

Line7: It is to find the element here i use xpath because xpath will give you the actual element

Line8: Click is use to click the button or link 

Try this code in your system and let me know about your code, you can do what ever you want whit this code.

Conclusion:

We saw that we search the shotwithcode blogspot and read the blog with out doing it manually instead python selenium did it for us.This is one of the method to test the website which we have built, if we have built any website we can test the website with selenium framework.

Let me know what you think about this project, i always welcome to any suggestion or feedback.

After installing and setting up the project with django i download a template and start with creating the views for the project. Here how goes: 1.First go to openweather app website : https://openweathermap.org/ 2.Signup for an account so that the openweather app will send you an api key 3.After singup with an account go to API and select the API you want to use 4.In an API doc it will attach a link which look like this api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q= {city name} &appid= {API key} So we need to replace the {API key} with our own API key. 5.That it for the API so in order to make a request or to call the API in python we use a request module...
