Issues when executing headless tests

[Gavin_Bannister]

Hi,

So I have noted Issues when I am trying to executing some headless tests, they are:

• Unable to set text in a specific text field using javascript i.e. getElementById(‘elementName’).value, this issue is particularly odd because I have set the text of many other fields that way in the same test case but it just fails on that particular field.

• I get the following when my test case gets to the point of calling the getUrl() keyword in headless mode: 2019-03-16 13:42:36.801 ERROR c.k.k.core.keyword.internal.KeywordMain - ? Unable to get the url of the current window (Root cause: org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: timeout

Hey Gavin

Let us know which version of Katalon you’re using and share your code/errors, too. Take a look at this topic and follow the advice there:

[TIP] How To Help Us Help You!

My test is BROKEN! NOTHING WORKS! HELP ME! Relax. We get it. We really do. There are some pretty smart and clever people on this forum, but you must realize, they are not magicians or wizards or gods. They cannot see your code, they can’t see your errors and they don’t even know what your AUT is meant to do even though it might seem perfectly obvious to you. So please relax and follow the advice below, before you start writing your post. The advice below will tell you the exact information …

I’m using version 5.10.1.

This is code where it works on another field:

WebUI.clearText(findTestObject(‘Page_Create Motor Risk Item EpicAS/sum_insured_fld’))
WebUI.delay(1)
WebUI.executeJavaScript(‘document.getElementById('ri_sum_insured').value = 3000000’, null)

This is the field that it doesn’t work on:

WebUI.clearText(findTestObject(‘Page_Gavin Bannister EpicASSURE/input_Amt. Received_receipt_it’), FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE)
WebUI.delay(5)
WebUI.executeJavaScript(“document.querySelector(‘#receipt_item_amount_received_0’).value=50000”, null)

The error in the console doesn’t appear on the Javascript execution, it occurs when I do an assertion on an element that should have the contents of what I had set in the field. it doesn’t find the contents because it wasn’t set

Below is the bit of HTML for the field:

I have tried using the Send Keys to fix it, using what I found in this post: http://forum.katalon.com/t/element-not-interactable-in-chrome-headless/19718

For the getURL issue, see code and errors from console below:

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Claims/print_notif_slip’))
WebUI.delay(15)
WebUI.switchToWindowIndex(1)
newUrl = WebUI.getUrl()
CustomKeywords.‘tools.readPDF.ReadPDF’(newUrl, “SLIP”)

Console:

Also of note, the getURL is used in another headless test and it works fine

[Russ_Thomas]

It’s looking like a chrome webdriver issue but what exactly is not obvious (for the reasons you mention - it works elsewhere).

@devalex88 @ThanhTo any ideas gentlemen?

[ThanhTo]

Hi, the issue seems to have been raised in Selenium’s github:

org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: timeout when navigating within the same page using a URL with the element part

Which cites the link to this issue:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=2239

@Gavin_Bannister

Please match the information provided by users in the issue above against yours and see if updating Chromedriver to the latest version resolves the issue.

Regards !

[Gavin_Bannister]

Thanks, will try and let you know the results

[Gavin_Bannister]

@ThanhTo Tried updating chromedriver, but the results are the same, even tried updating the selenium standalone server and the JRE for good measure

@Gavin_Bannister Hi, Im currently facing the same issue. Did you resolve it ?

[cdapitanon]

@Gavin_Bannister Hi, I encountered the same issue.

[satorugen]

Hello, i found the solution on my case, but its a bit tricky, headless test is very fast on my case, so i need to check screenshot on some point of the test (making sure the test is on the right page).

i’m using these code to help me

String screenshotLocation = WebUI.takeScreenshot()
println screenshotLocation

and after i found the wrong parts, i added some delay before that part, and my testing working just fine

Hi, I am having this issue too. My test script works correctly when I run it through a regular Chrome browser, but doesn’t work with the headless Chrome. I tried updating the test driver a couple of times but nothing helps, it continues failing.
