finding xpath for elements in applications built on angularjs -

-

the application under test built on angular because of xpaths failing locate element . using selenium web diver automating tests , google chrome browser.

can kindly specify how break down angularjs components basic html elements while creating xpath or other way can adapt find exact element on page.

any link or path or tips follow.

i have searched lot no luck till now.

starting covering general concerns.

when testing angularjs applications, timing issues common - partially why have tools protractor built test angularjs applications. makes unique works in sync angular, knowing when ready interacted with. provide angularjs specific locators makes locating elements easier, samples:

element.all(by.repeater("item in items")); element(by.binding("mybinding")); element(by.model("mymodel"));

if can, should consider switching protractor - test flow natural - no explicit waits, lot of convenient syntactic sugar , more element-locating options.

if not, can still use angular-specific attributes locate elements, examples:

driver.findelements(by.xpath("//*[@ng-repeat='item in items']")); driver.findelement(by.xpath("//*[@ng-binding='mybinding']")); driver.findelement(by.xpath("//*[@ng-model='mymodel']"));

though, usual, should prefer use ids, classes , other "data-oriented" attributes.

things can go wrong above sample expressions - imagine web developers add "tracking" repeater, or rename ng-repeater data-ng-repeater.

as side note, using angular specific things ng-* attributes in tests, make test codebase tight specific technology used build application under test. not bad thing should keep in mind.

i'm attempting write python 2/3 compatible routine fetch csv file, decode latin_1 unicode , feed csv.dictreader in robust, scalable manner. for python 2/3 support, i'm using python-future including imporing open builtins , , importing unicode_literals consistent behaviour i'm hoping handle exceptionally large files spilling disk, using tempfile.spooledtemporaryfile i'm using io.textiowrapper handle decoding latin_1 encoding before feeding dictreader this works fine under python 3. the problem textiowrapper expects wrap stream conforms bufferediobase . unfortunately under python 2, although have imported python 3-style open , vanilla python 2 tempfile.spooledtemporaryfile still of course returns python 2 cstringio.stringo , instead of python 3 io.bytesio required textiowrapper . i can think of these possible approaches: wrap python 2 cstringio.stringo python 3-style io.bytesio . i'm not sure how approach - need write such wrapper or 1 ex
