I want to select the time 08:00 which is not visible, we need to scroll down:
I followed the below steps:

  1. clicked on select time box (after which the drop down list appears)
    2.Scroll down to element (in this case to the time 08:00) used xpath //ul[@id=option-list-01]/descendant::div[text()=‘08:00’]
    3.click 08:00 again same xpath
    But I am unable to select the time. Could you please help me here.

Hello,
can you show script you using? are you using WebUI.scrollTo() to get element to view?
what error are you getting?

Hi,

set this field ReadOnly value to false and fill 8:00 direct to it
like

WebUI.executeJavaScript("document.getElementById(‘someId’).readOnly = false;

5

please try change xpath

//id('option-list-01')//div[contains(text(),'08:00')]

i would use this as last resort since you are changing behavior of page … that’s not what an user can do…

@Andrej_Podhajsky I changed the xpath, but still getting the same error.

there are few options:

  1. there is iframe and therefore element cannot be found (use switch to frame)
  2. your script is too quick - components are only to be generated and you already trying to reach to them (use waitForElementXYZ fn)
  3. there is more than one element that can be addressed by x-path (check with any xpath plugin for your fav. browser)
    and probably something else i can not figure out now …

hello,

if this is tested in test env then it’s ok to change readonly value to get test work, that’s my opinion
should not do in production env

i guess that he/she is not testing dropdown functionality

@Timo_Kuisma1 Hi,
I am not allowed to do that, cause the scripts need to run across multiple environments so cannot change the page behaviour.
