python selenium execute example

Example 1: python selenium web scraping example

#Python example - use chrome driver to open google url and enter into search bar "Why is python so awesome"

#required imports
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

#open driver
PATH_TO_DRIVER = './chromedriver'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=PATH_TO_DRIVER)

#launch url using driver
driver.get('https://google.com')

#find element to manipulate e.g. by element name. 'q' is the element name of the google search bar
element = driver.find_element_by_name('q')

#write text into search bar
element.send_keys('Why is python so awesome')

#simulates 'Enter' key
element.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

Example 2: selenium python example

import unittest
from selenium import webdriver
import time


class TestThree(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        self.startTime = time.time()

    def test_url_fire(self):
        time.sleep(2)
        self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()
        self.driver.get("https://app.simplegoods.co/i/IQCZADOY") # url associated with button click
        button = self.driver.find_element_by_id("payment-submit").get_attribute("value")
        self.assertEquals(u'Pay - $60.00', button)

    def test_url_phantom(self):
        time.sleep(1)
        self.driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
        self.driver.get("https://app.simplegoods.co/i/IQCZADOY") # url associated with button click
        button = self.driver.find_element_by_id("payment-submit").get_attribute("value")
        self.assertEquals(u'Pay - $60.00', button)

    def tearDown(self):
        t = time.time() - self.startTime
        print("%s: %.3f" % (self.id(), t))
        self.driver.quit()
