![Web Automation with Selenium & Python Part 4 [Registration Automation]](https://dotslaz.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Web-Automation-with-Selenium-Python-Part-4-Registration-Automation.jpg)
Hello, devs, so far we have learned how to fill input fields, click buttons. We even learned how to execute Javascript on the webpage just using Selenium and Python. We have also learned how to handle exceptions while using Selenium. In our last episode, we did the feature called category creation. Today we will test the feature called update category. This will much similar to the previous episode. But there are some differences. So that’s why I made two different articles. In order to update a form, we need to remove the old values right? Yes, that’s the thing we are gonna learn today alongside the feature. Our update category form contains the same fields as category creation form.
- Title [required]
- Parent Category
- Coin
- Question Limit [required]
- Quiz Limit [required]
- Time Limit [required]
- Serial [required]
- Status [required]
- Description
- Thumbnail Image
- White Image
Lt’s see our application structure.

We have described our new python files in the last episode. Feel free to read the article. Links are given at the bottom of this article. Now Let’s add constants.
[ Step:01 ] Add Constants And URLs In Our Application
PARENT_CATEGORY_OPTION_X_PATH = '/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[3]/div/div/' \
'div/div/div/form/div[1]/div[2]/div/div/' \
'select/option[53]'
STATUS_ACTIVE_OPTION_X_PATH = '/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[3]/div/div/' \
'div/div/div/form/div[1]/div[8]/div/' \
'div/select/option[1]'
SAMPLE_IMAGE_FILE_PATH = '/home/trex/Downloads/python_image.jpg'
SUCCESS_VALIDATION_BOX_XPATH = '//*[@id="notification_box"]'
CATEGORY_CREATION_SUCCESS_VALIDATION_MESSAGE = "Sub Category " \
"Created Successfully"
CATEGORY_UPDATE_SUCCESS_VALIDATION_MESSAGE = "Sub Category Updated Successfully"
TARGET_CATEGORY_X_PATH = '//*[@id="category-table"]/tbody/tr[21]/td[4]/a'
TARGET_SUBCATEGORY_X_PATH = '//*[@id="category-table"]/tbody/tr[1]/td[9]/ul' \
'/a[1]'
EDIT_FORM_HEADER_X_PATH = '/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/div/div/h2'
EDIT_FORM_HEADER_TEXT = 'Edit Sub Category'
ERROR_VALIDATION_MESSAGES = [
"This name already taken",
"Title field can not be empty",
"Max limit field can not be empty",
"Quiz limit field can not be empty",
"Time limit field can not be empty",
"Serial field can not be empty",
]
CATEGORY_FORM_EDIT_DATA = dict(
title='Python2.4.3',
parent_category=PARENT_CATEGORY_OPTION_X_PATH,
coin=200,
question_limit=20,
quiz_limit=20,
time_limit=2,
serial=405,
status=STATUS_ACTIVE_OPTION_X_PATH,
description='Programming category',
thumbnail_image=SAMPLE_IMAGE_FILE_PATH,
white_image=SAMPLE_IMAGE_FILE_PATH
)
We have reused some constant’s from the last episode.
[ Step: 02 ] Developing The Category Package
Import
Well in our edit.py file in category package let’s import all the necessary things.
"""Category Edit"""
from time import sleep
import unittest
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.common.exceptions import (
ElementNotInteractableException,
NoSuchElementException,
JavascriptException)
from application.selenium_base import SeleniumBase
from application.utils.helpers import console_print
from category.constants import *
Create CategoryEditTest Class
Now let’s create the CategoryEditTest class. Our init method will take a parameter called browser which we will give from the login.py.
class CategoryEditTest(SeleniumBase, unittest.TestCase):
def __init__(self, browser):
"""
:param browser: chained previous browser
"""
super().__init__(browser)
if browser is not None:
self.browser = browser
Go to the edit form
To edit a category/subcategory we need to go to the edit form first. So we will create a method for that which will navigate to the form.
def get_edit_form(self):
self.browser.find_element_by_xpath(TARGET_CATEGORY_X_PATH).click()
self.browser.find_element_by_xpath(TARGET_SUBCATEGORY_X_PATH).click()
sleep(1)
header_text = self.browser.find_element_by_xpath(
EDIT_FORM_HEADER_X_PATH
).text
# print(len(header_text.strip()))
# print(len(EDIT_FORM_HEADER_TEXT.strip()))
if header_text.strip() == EDIT_FORM_HEADER_TEXT.strip():
console_print('success', '[Found edit form]')
sleep(1)
return True
console_print('failed', '[Can not find edit form]')
return False
Clear all the field
Now every time we get a field, we need to clear it first right? So we will also create a method for that.
def clear_field(self, x_path: str):
try:
field = self.browser.find_element_by_xpath(x_path)
field.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + "a")
field.send_keys(Keys.DELETE)
except (
ElementNotInteractableException,
NoSuchElementException) as error:
console_print('failed', str(error))
self.close_browser()
raise
We user Keys.CONTROL + “a” which will basically press the CTRL+A in the keyboard. And Keys.DELETE will press the Del keyword in the keyboard.
Update Form
Now let’s invoke this method inside every method where we intend to type some values in the form input field.
def edit_title(self, title: str):
"""

try:

[ Step: 03 ] Test Category Creation
Now let’s test the code in test.py file. First import all the necessary things.
"""Category automation testing unit"""
from application.utils.urls import (LOGIN_URL, ADMIN_DASHBOARD)
from category.edit import CategoryEditTest
from login.login import LoginTest
from category.create import CategoryCreateTest
from application.utils.constants import LOGIN_PAGE_X_PATHS
from settings import (
ADMIN_EMAIL, ADMIN_PASSWORD
)
from category.constants import *
We will test the create a category first, then we will update that. You may need to change the form of data values in your constants.
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Successful Login
login_test = LoginTest(LOGIN_URL, LOGIN_PAGE_X_PATHS, ADMIN_DASHBOARD)
login_test.visit_url(LOGIN_URL)
login_test.login_attempt(ADMIN_EMAIL, ADMIN_PASSWORD)
# Category Successful create Test
category_create_test = CategoryCreateTest(login_test.browser)
category_create_test.visit_url(CREATE_CATEGORY_URL)
category_create_test.create(CATEGORY_FORM_DATA)
category_create_test.success_validation_message_is_ok(
CATEGORY_CREATION_SUCCESS_VALIDATION_MESSAGE)
# Category create validation message Test
category_create_test.visit_url(CREATE_CATEGORY_URL)
category_create_test.submit()
category_create_test.error_validation_message_is_ok()
# Try to save with duplicate name
category_create_test.duplicate_category_creation(CATEGORY_FORM_DATA)
# Edit test
category_edit_test = CategoryEditTest(login_test.browser)
category_edit_test.visit_url(CATEGORY_LIST_URL)
category_edit_test.get_edit_form()
category_edit_test.update(CATEGORY_FORM_EDIT_DATA)
category_edit_test.success_validation_message_is_ok(
CATEGORY_UPDATE_SUCCESS_VALIDATION_MESSAGE)
category_edit_test.visit_url(CATEGORY_LIST_URL)
category_edit_test.get_edit_form()
category_edit_test.clear_all_input_field()
category_edit_test.submit()
category_edit_test.error_validation_message_is_ok()
If everything works fine without any error, you will see a similar result like the video below.
In our next episode, I will refactor some code with you guys to give an insight into refactoring. Till then stay safe and share this article with your friends. Here are the GitHub link and previous episodes.
