[python-win32] equivalent selenium findElement(By.xpath...) with win32com

[laurent solano]

Thanks for your proposal.
I had already identified and look at the documentation about splinter.
Sound great, but there is one missing feature : i need to automate an
already open browser, where i'm already log in.

With win32com, i can do it. below my code:

class WindowMgr:
    """
    Source :
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2090464/python-window-activation
    Classe de gestion des fenêtres, notamment pour faire des recherche avec
expressions régulières
    """
    def __init__ (self):
         """Constructor"""
         self._handle = None

    def find_window(self, class_name, window_name = None):
         """find a window by its class_name"""
         self._handle = win32gui.FindWindow(class_name, window_name)

    def _window_enum_callback(self, hwnd, wildcard):
         '''Pass to win32gui.EnumWindows() to check all the opened
windows'''
         if re.match(wildcard, str(win32gui.GetWindowText(hwnd))) != None:
             self._handle = hwnd

    def find_window_wildcard(self, wildcard):
         self._handle = None
         win32gui.EnumWindows(self._window_enum_callback, wildcard)

    def set_foreground(self):
         """put the window in the foreground"""
         win32gui.SetForegroundWindow(self._handle)

class ie_mgr():
    """
    Classe de gestion de la fenêtre ie. Permet d'obtenir un objet
représentant la page ie de suviefluid
    """
    def __init__ (self,titre_fenetre):
        """Constructor"""
        # Source : http://win32com.goermezer.de/content/view/168/131/
        _clsid='{9BA05972-F6A8-11CF-A442-00A0C90A8F39}'  # clé du registre
correspondant au ShellWindows
        _ShellWindows = win32com.client.Dispatch(_clsid)

        for i in range(_ShellWindows.Count):             # Recherche de la
fenêtre IE à manipuler
            if re.match(r"suivefluid
production*",_ShellWindows(i).LocationName):
                print("valeur ok : ", i)
                _index_shell = i
                break

        try:
            self.ie = _ShellWindows(_index_shell)
            self.doc = self.ie.Document
            self.bdy = self.doc.body
            self.Frame_haut = self.bdy.children(0)
            self.Frame_bas = self.doc.body.children(1) # On focus sur la
frame contenant les valeurs à insérer (la frame "bas")

        except NameError as e:
            print(e)
            SystemExit


if __name__ == "__main__":
    fenetre_a_traiter = r".*windows_name.*"
    sf = ie_mgr(fenetre_a_traiter)              #Instanciation du webbrowser
    w = WindowMgr()                             #Instanciation de la
fenêtre à traiter
    w.find_window_wildcard(fenetre_a_traiter)

=> After this, i can manipulate my browser like this :

dURL = "my_URL" # URL
sf.ie.Navigate(dURL,0,"frame_name")    #Go écran missions
(...)
w.set_foreground()          #Affichage de sf en premier plan

=> After this, i can seend keys to manipulate my browser

_shell = win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")  # On instancie un objet
permettant de simuler les touches clavier
_shell.SendKeys("{TAB 34}")         #Tab jusqu'à l'onglet mission
_shell.SendKeys("{ENTER}")
_shell.SendKeys("612")              #Imput numéro de mission à rechercher
_shell.SendKeys("{ENTER}")          #Clic bouton rechercher

and so on.

I need to replace the sendkeys part by some good code like

#Supposing "sf" is a splinter or selenium representation of my already
running browser :
sf.find_by_xpath(('//table[@id='tablename']/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]').click() (or
something similar)


nota : you hava my code Tim ;-).

Laurent
