How can I prompt for input using Selenium/Webdriver and use the result?
- by Tempus
I would like to allow for user input and make some decisions based on it. If I do this:
driver.execute_script("prompt('Enter smth','smth')")
I get a nice prompt, but I cannot use it's value. Is there any way of showing an input box to the user, and use the value typed there?
EDIT: This is my script:
from selenium.webdriver import Firefox
if __name__ == "__main__":
driver = Firefox()
driver.execute_script("window.promptResponse=prompt('Enter smth','smth')")
a = driver.execute_script("var win = this.browserbot.getUserWindow(); return win.promptResponse")
print "got back %s" % a
And this exits with the following exception:
a = driver.execute_script("var win = this.browserbot.getUserWindow(); return win.promptResponse")
File "c:\python26\lib\site-packages\selenium-2.12.1-py2.6.egg\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 385, in ex
ecute_script
{'script': script, 'args':converted_args})['value']

self.error_handler.check_response(response)
File "c:\python26\lib\site-packages\selenium-2.12.1-py2.6.egg\selenium\webdriver\remote\errorhandler.py", line 110, in
check_response
if 'message' in value:
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable
What am I not doing right?
