Struct WebElement 

pub struct WebElement<'a> {
    pub element_id: ElementId,
    pub session: &'a WebDriverSession,
}

The WebElement struct encapsulates a single element on a page.

WebElement structs are generally not constructed manually, but rather they are returned from a ‘find_element()’ operation using a WebDriver.

Example:

let elem = driver.find_element(By::Id("input-result"))?;

You can also search for a child element of another element as follows:

let elem = driver.find_element(By::Css("div[data-section='section-buttons']"))?;
let child_elem = elem.find_element(By::Tag("button"))?;

Elements can be clicked using the click() method, and you can send input to an element using the send_keys() method.

Fields

element_id: ElementId

session: &'a WebDriverSession

Implementations

impl<'a> WebElement<'a>

pub fn new(session: &'a WebDriverSession, element_id: ElementId) -> Self

Create a new WebElement struct.

Typically you would not call this directly. WebElement structs are usually constructed by calling one of the find_element*() methods either on WebDriver or another WebElement.

pub fn rect(&self) -> WebDriverResult<ElementRect>

Get the bounding rectangle for this WebElement.

pub fn tag_name(&self) -> WebDriverResult<String>

Get the tag name for this WebElement.

Example:

let elem = driver.find_element(By::Id("button1"))?;
assert_eq!(elem.tag_name()?, "button");

pub fn class_name(&self) -> WebDriverResult<Option<String>>

Get the class name for this WebElement.

Example:

let elem = driver.find_element(By::Id("button1"))?;
let class_name_option = elem.class_name()?;  // Option<String>

pub fn id(&self) -> WebDriverResult<Option<String>>

Get the id for this WebElement.

Example:

let elem = driver.find_element(By::Id("button1"))?;
let id_option = elem.id()?;  // Option<String>

pub fn text(&self) -> WebDriverResult<String>

Get the text contents for this WebElement.

Example:

let elem = driver.find_element(By::Id("button-result"))?;
let text = elem.text()?;

pub fn value(&self) -> WebDriverResult<Option<String>>

Convenience method for getting the (optional) value attribute of this element.

pub fn click(&self) -> WebDriverResult<()>

Click the WebElement.

Example:

let elem = driver.find_element(By::Id("button1"))?;
elem.click()?;

pub fn clear(&self) -> WebDriverResult<()>

Clear the WebElement contents.

Example:

pub fn get_property(&self, name: &str) -> WebDriverResult<Option<String>>

Get the specified property.

Example:

let bool_value_option = elem.get_property("checked")?;  // Option<String>
assert_eq!(bool_value_option, Some("true".to_string()));
let string_value_option = elem.get_property("name")?;  // Option<String>
assert_eq!(string_value_option, Some("input2".to_string()));

pub fn get_attribute(&self, name: &str) -> WebDriverResult<Option<String>>

Get the specified attribute.

Example:

let attribute_option = elem.get_attribute("name")?;  // Option<String>
assert_eq!(attribute_option, Some("input2".to_string()));

pub fn get_css_property(&self, name: &str) -> WebDriverResult<String>

Get the specified CSS property.

Example:

let css_color = elem.get_css_property("color")?;
assert_eq!(css_color, r"rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)");

pub fn is_selected(&self) -> WebDriverResult<bool>

Return true if the WebElement is currently selected, otherwise false.

pub fn is_displayed(&self) -> WebDriverResult<bool>

Return true if the WebElement is currently displayed, otherwise false.

Example

let displayed = elem.is_displayed()?;

pub fn is_enabled(&self) -> WebDriverResult<bool>

Return true if the WebElement is currently enabled, otherwise false.

Example

let enabled = elem.is_enabled()?;

pub fn is_clickable(&self) -> WebDriverResult<bool>

Return true if the WebElement is currently clickable (visible and enabled), otherwise false.

Example

let clickable = elem.is_clickable()?;

pub fn is_present(&self) -> WebDriverResult<bool>

Return true if the WebElement is currently (still) present and not stale.

NOTE: This method simply queries the tag name in order to determine whether the element is still present.

IMPORTANT: If an element is re-rendered it may be considered stale even though to the user it looks like it is still there.

The recommended way to check for the presence of an element is to simply search for the element again.

Example

let present = elem.is_present()?;

pub fn find_element(&self, by: By<'_>) -> WebDriverResult<WebElement<'_>>

Search for a child element of this WebElement using the specified selector.

Example:

let elem = driver.find_element(By::Css("div[data-section='section-buttons']"))?;
let child_elem = elem.find_element(By::Tag("button"))?;

pub fn find_elements(&self, by: By<'_>) -> WebDriverResult<Vec<WebElement<'_>>>

Search for all child elements of this WebElement that match the specified selector.

Example:

let elem = driver.find_element(By::Css("div[data-section='section-buttons']"))?;
let child_elems = elem.find_elements(By::Tag("button"))?;
for child_elem in child_elems {
    assert_eq!(child_elem.tag_name()?, "button");
}

pub fn send_keys<S>(&self, keys: S) -> WebDriverResult<()>

where S: Into<TypingData>,

Send the specified input.

Example:

You can specify anything that implements Into<TypingData>. This includes &str and String.

elem.send_keys("selenium")?;

You can also send special key combinations like this:

elem.send_keys("selenium")?;
elem.send_keys(Keys::Control + "a")?;
elem.send_keys(TypingData::from("thirtyfour") + Keys::Enter)?;

pub fn screenshot_as_base64(&self) -> WebDriverResult<String>

Take a screenshot of this WebElement and return it as a base64-encoded String.

pub fn screenshot_as_png(&self) -> WebDriverResult<Vec<u8>>

Take a screenshot of this WebElement and return it as PNG bytes.

pub fn screenshot(&self, path: &Path) -> WebDriverResult<()>

Take a screenshot of this WebElement and write it to the specified filename.

pub fn focus(&self) -> WebDriverResult<()>

Focus this WebElement using JavaScript.

Example:

let elem = driver.find_element(By::Name("input1"))?;
elem.focus()?;

pub fn scroll_into_view(&self) -> WebDriverResult<()>

Scroll this element into view using JavaScript.

Example:

let elem = driver.find_element(By::Id("button1"))?;
elem.scroll_into_view()?;

pub fn inner_html(&self) -> WebDriverResult<String>

Get the innerHtml property of this element.

Example:

let elem = driver.find_element(By::XPath(r##"//*[@id="button1"]/.."##))?;
let html = elem.inner_html()?;

pub fn outer_html(&self) -> WebDriverResult<String>

Get the outerHtml property of this element.

Example:

let elem = driver.find_element(By::XPath(r##"//*[@id="button1"]/.."##))?;
let html = elem.outer_html()?;
