I am trying to post something on http://indianrailforums.in using selenium script. I am able to login and reach this page: http://indiarailinfo.com/blog using the selenium script, but after I click post button I am not able to send text in the text area.
This is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://indiarailinfo.com")
element = driver.find_element_by_name("e")
element.send_keys("[email protected]")
element = driver.find_element_by_name("p")
element.send_keys("suvrit")
element.submit()
driver.get("http://indiarailinfo.com/blog")
element = driver.find_element_by_link_text('Post')
element.click()
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div[5]/table/tbody/tr/td[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div/form/textarea")
#element.sendKeys(Keys.HOME + "abc");
#element = driver.find_element_by_name("TrainBlog")
element.send_keys("suvrit")
#driver.quit()
EDIT: Issue solved by using submit button and using driver.implicitly_wait(10) just before calling xpath
The problem is that you have not submitted the form. Either call submit():
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div[5]/table/tbody/tr/td[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div/form/textarea")
element.send_keys("suvrit")
element.submit() # it would find the parent form and submit it
Or, click the post button:
post = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('input.postbtn')
post.click()
