I'm using selenium-rc and I'm trying to click on a specific email on gmail in order to get into the email page. More specifically: on the gmail inbox, click on a email with a specific subject.
I can't find the correct xpath (none of the tags in the email part are links). Ideas?
This XPath should do the trick:
//div[@class = 'y6']/span[contains(., 'subject_here')]
... provided that you've first changed to the canvas_frame frame. Otherwise, it's unlikely it'll work at all. If you're not using Firebug to inspect the HTML, you really should as that's how I found out these values. Also, the Gmail structure changes fairly regularly, so that y6 class could change any day.
I haven't tested this, but this might work for you:
open http://gmail.com
// do the login stuff, click on login
waitForElementPresent canvas_frame
selectFrame canvas_frame
waitForElementPresent //div[@class = 'y6']/span[contains(., 'subject_here')]
clickAt //div[@class = 'y6']/span[contains(., 'subject_here')] 0,0
// do stuff you care about
Important: you have to use clickAt to cause Gmail to realize you're clicking. It doesn't work with just the simple "click" command.
By the way, we do this for our own internal monitoring of Gmail because it's been so unstable over the last few months. We're using my companies Selenium-based free monitoring service, which lets you run Selenium scripts to check performance and functionality of your site.
change gmail to basic html mode.
Is your app a Ruby on Rails one by chance? If so, email spec is a great way to test emails without haveing to mess around with Gmail: http://github.com/bmabey/email-spec
I used this command
clickAt | //table/tbody/tr/td[5]/div[@class='yW'] |
Click at the FROM field of first/recent/top most mail to go to mail detail page. // note: tr for first mail, tr[2] for second and so on.
