strange java traceback when setting text input!

[bubenkoff]

Hi

i get this exception

17:04:55.637 WARN - Exception thrown

when trying to

Input Text id_username ${user}

when user is a string doublechecked that

and what's really strange, if i change this to:

Input Text id_username '${user}'

it passes ok, but of course sets wrong field value!

Input Text uses send_keys, which is also used to choose a file for an input element with type="file". Looking at the code Selenium does not appear to check that the target element is even appropriate for an upload, it merely checks that the text is also a valid path to a local file. The value you are using for ${user} must also be also be the path to a local file. Not sure why that's leading to an exception, but the problem is that it is trying to upload a file at an inappropriate time. I am not sure what to do in this scenario, but by understanding the problem, maybe you will.

    def send_keys(self, *value):
        """Simulates typing into the element."""
        local_file = LocalFileDetector.is_local_file(*value)
        if local_file is not None:
            value = self._upload(local_file)
        ...

but

if file_path is '':
return None

    try:
      if os.path.exists(file_path):
          return file_path
    except:
      pass
    return None

from def is_local_file

clearly says that it will return False, so should be not relevant here, right?

[ombre42]

It would seem so. What is the value for ${user} that is triggering this error? I would alter Selenium's source code to trace this issue further (don't forget to restore later). Something like this:

...
if local_file is not None:
    raise Exception("local_file is '%s'" % local_file) # debug
    value = self._upload(local_file)
...

[bubenkoff]

Ok thanks for the suggestion, i will check that by such change
but basically value of ${user} is just string, and it looks, it doesn't 'like' ANY value

[ombre42]

Any update on this? Is os.path.exists() returning True for the user names you are trying to input?

[bubenkoff]

Sorry for delay, i debugged that, and the local_file is the string what i try to set by Input Text
BUT the value of it was an existing path's part

class LocalFileDetector(object):

@classmethod
def is_local_file(cls, *keys):
    file_path = ''
    typing = []
    for val in keys:
        if isinstance(val, Keys):
            typing.append(val)
        elif isinstance(val, int):
            val = str(val)
            for i in range(len(val)):
                typing.append(val[i])
        else:
            for i in range(len(val)):
                typing.append(val[i])
    file_path = ''.join(typing)

    if file_path is '':
        return None

    try:
      if os.path.exists(file_path):
          return file_path
    except:
      pass
    return None

so it passed this check

the fix should be in checking abspath, not relative path

[ombre42]

@bubenkoff A change like checking absolute path instead of relative path would have to be implemented upstream in the Selenium project. Please submit an issue there as it does not make sense to make the change to Selenium2Library.

[bubenkoff]

yes, that's solely selenium issue, thanks
