Web automation library for simple and easy end to end testing and web browser automation that offers super charged features while keeping it simple to use and master

🤖 Crazy Smart Web automation and testing library for python

webbot provides a much feature rich automation than selenium for all kinds of automation of webpage. Since the major portion of web automation is to perform actions like click and type into webpage elements , webbot automatically handles finding the right elements to perform the actions.

Buy me a coffee 😇

Features :

• Click any button or link without having to worry about finding the element first or knowing css_selectors , xpath etc
• Automate and test pages loaded dynamically by javascript.
• Smart scoring algorithm which finds the best matching elements on which you want to perform the action .
• The entire automation process can be made without having to open the browser window i.e in the background as a console process (see docs for more details )
• Use any combination of selectors like id, name, text, css etc to perform actions on elements with one line of code.
• Automation designed to work even in case of webpages with dynamically changing id and classname
• Immensely minimizes the code required for performing input actions like clicks and keyboard actions.
• Get webpage source , cookies , total tabs , webpage title etc..
• Simulate key presses and special key combinations
• Bidirectional scrolling
• Perform an action on webpage elements by applying various filters to select the elements .
• Perfrom action on multiple elements at once.

Installation :

pip install webbot

If "No distribution found error occurs" just update setuptools using pip install --upgrade setuptools

Quickstart :

Demo code 0 :

from webbot import Browser 
web = Browser()
web.go_to('google.com') 
web.type('hello its me')  # or web.press(web.Key.SHIFT + 'hello its me')
web.press(web.Key.ENTER)
web.go_back()
web.click('Sign in')
web.type('[email protected]' , into='Email')
web.click('NEXT' , tag='span')
web.type('mypassword' , into='Password' , id='passwordFieldId')
web.click('NEXT' , tag='span') # you are logged in . woohoooo

Demo code 1 :

If multiple buttons with similar properties are to be clicked at once

web = Browser()
web.go_to('siteurl.com')
web.click('buttontext' , multiple = True)

Demo code 2 :

If there are multiple elements and you want to perform action on one of them

web = Browser()
web.go_to('siteurl.com')

# types the text into the 3rd input element when there are multiple input elements with form-input class
web.type('im robo typing' , number = 3 , classname="form-input" ) 

web.click('Post')

webbot's Issues

Cannot install with pip or git in command line

Hello,

I am having issues trying to install the package to my RPi. I have tried both 'pip install webbot' and 'python -m pip install git+https://github.com/nateshmbhat/webbot.git'. I get similar messages which are listed below:

pip install webbot

WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip.

Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue.

To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly.

exists() css_selector problems with attribute selectors

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Attribute_selectors
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp

if web.exists(tag='button', classname='yt-icon-button', css_selector='button[aria-label*="Current setting is all notifications."]', number=1, loose_match=False):
        return 0 # can't enable push notifications
    else:
        return 1

Running the following code when logged into Youtube, 1 is returned instead of 0. The method should detect if the button exists based on the aria-label css_selector.

Either it is Youtube, or the webbot library, but the css selector doesn't seem to work here. This was tested in an environment with purely the button's element in the html body. A JS querySelector in a script element with the same css_selector worked fine in contrast.

how to explicitly wait for any element

Hi,

How we can use explicitly wait for element is visible or enabled in web bot instead of sleep time pls?

HTML form - input elements using id tag cannot be reached

Hi Natesh,

I would like to thank you for the amazing webbot python API (latest ver: 0.1.4), I started using it for different web automation sites and appreciated.

One technical API issue found: if the web HTML page, has an HTML form and most input types does not have an HTML ID like below example, then your webbot Python API does not work well. Why?

<form method="post" name="form" action="login.cgi" target="">
<input type="text" id="login_username" name="login_username" tabindex="1" class="form_input" maxlength="20" autocapitalize="off" autocomplete="off" placeholder="Username">
<input type="password" name="login_passwd" tabindex="2" class="form_input" maxlength="16" placeholder="Password" autocapitalize="off" autocomplete="off">
  | .......
 

Then using webbot API here for password does not work at all:
web.type('password_value', into='login_passwd') # or
web.type('password_value', into='login_passwd', tag='password')

Thanks and appreciated if you can fix this, really important for the Webbot API

You can't interact using shift keys, which kinda makes it hard to use @ signs and other stuff like that. Is there a way to fix it?

Browser file not found

using the sample code I have been getting the following output

Running any of the sample code or the code from my project yields the same result regardless if invoked through sudo or otherwise.

Not sure what other information would be needed to assist with this. I could probably pull down 18.04 LTS and give that a whirl if its a versioning issue between Ubuntu 20 and 18. I know that this had no issues on my Win10 Desktop, so not 100% sure where to look here or if this is an inherent problem with my Ubuntu deployment being headless. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Edit: Added version info in the beginning of statement.

Unable to login directly through google (suggestion/fix)

After a while I found that you can login through a third party such that allows usage of their 'Login with Google' service (ex. Github / Stack overflow).

To have the login be in the scope of all tabs, enabling 'Allow Chrome sign-in' at chrome://settings/syncSetup works. This might be a nice addition to the docs.

exists(id=' ') method always returns True

@nateshmbhat The exists() method with any constructor inside it, always returns True despite entering random values.

You can try this code snippet. It always returns True.

from webbot import Browser

driver = Browser()
driver.go_to('https://github.com/login')

print(driver.exists(id='1234qwerty'))
print(driver.exists(css_selector='input[name="8888888"]'))
print(driver.exists(xpath='//input[@id="asdfg"]'))

Could you please check and fix this bug? My QA code makes extensive use of 'exists()' method. It will be very helpful. Thanks.

Does it work on a headless server?

First: I LOVE IT!
With this library, everything gets easy and works!

I plan to use it on a server without any screen. Does the library work in a headless browser?
What are the requirements?

UPDATE:
When I am in the Python shell nothing happens after web = Browser() and I have to CTRL-C the shell to get out...

Thank you for your help!

Driver selection issue, for Mac OSX Mojave

Can't open a new tab despite using 'new_tab(url)' method

Hi, I am not able to open a new tab despite using the available method new_tab(url).

Let's say this is the code snippet:

`from webbot import Browser

driver = Browser()
driver.go_to('https://google.com')
driver.new_tab(url='https://github.com')`

How do I get this to work? Could anyone please guide? Thanks.

exists() incorrect arg in documentation

In the documentation it lists
multiple : if True , the specified action is performed on all the elements matching the criteria and not just the first element . If it is true , number parameter is ignored . Defaults to False under the exists() args, however the function doesn't have this feature. Removing from the docs would clear up misconceptions and confusion

Selenium ModuleNotFound Error

When using webbot and its dependencies (selenium, urllib3) not in a virtual environment installed through pip, but in the same folder (ex. a library folder), selenium cannot be found through the relative imports in webbot.py.

A fix for this would be adding this to the beginning of the file (could be better optimized to include only specific methods):
import os
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..')))

I haven't gotten this to fully work as of yet without error, so I wouldn't implement just yet. I'll let you know once I get it working, perhaps with a pull request

Please consider this issue for future versions!

Can't find an element by ID even though it's there.

Hey,

Firstly, a brilliant job on the API. It's really nice and simple and gets work done! I'm using it to scrap some data off of a web-app that didn't have an API of its own.

Here's the issue: I'm trying to click a link which has its ID, name, text, href and more stuff as well. I can see it rendered on the page, I can see it while inspecting the page in Chrome and it has all the attributes stated before. But for some reason, webbot can't seem to find it (tested using browser.find_elements) or click on it.

Can you please help me out here? Is this a legitimate bug?

Google Chrome will not allow login to gmail account.

When running the demo code to access gmail, Google Chrome will stop working saying that the browser is not safe. Checking why, google says it will not allow a login when the browser is handled by software and not by a person.

Since this is the first time I am trying webbot, I don't know if this is a new issue or not.

'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'switch_to_alert'

Hi Natesh - I've been using webbot to automate some browser tasks and recently moved my code to a new mac. I am getting an attribute error on the web=Browser() code - the Chrome window launches, but then nothing happens, and I get the attribute error. I think the problem is either with Chrome (so I reinstalled) or in the Selenium code you wrapped (saving me lots of reading and time - thank you!), but wanted to check with you to see if there was a simple solution.

Thanks!

pip installation not working from Mac OS X

Related to this PyPi issue,
webbot installation via pip on Mac OS X Mojave is not working with Python 2.

Error message:

 Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement webbot (from versions: 0.0.1.win-amd64)

From the PyPi Issue:

The other (webbot-0.0.1.win-amd64.zip) is a source distribution, but the version number portion (0.0.1.win-amd64) is either invalid and hence getting rejected, or specifies that the source is for a specific platform different than the one you're running on, and also getting rejected (honestly, I'm not sure if "platform tags" are allowed/respected in source distribution filenames).

And potential solution:

So the fix is either to use a recent version of pip on Python 3, or to upload new wheels and source distributions with correct filenames and metadata.

Or, if webbot is only supported by Python 3, it would be good to write so in the documentation.

find_elements returning too many things?

it's probably me not understanding how this is supposed to work, but if I issue the following javascript

document.querySelectorAll('div[class^=addressContainer]')

I get 3 elements returned

If I do this in webbot, I get 64

w.find_elements(css_selector='div[class^=addressContainer]')

However if I do this

w.driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('div[class^=addressContainer]')

it returns 3 elements

what am I doing wrong?

xpath

how to query xpath value that similar to urllib2 below :

xpath('//label[@for="spam_protection"]/text()')

I can use this ' web.find_elements(xpath="//label[contains(.,'spam_protection')]") ' but only get true/false, how to get it's value ?

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

I am using the webbot module in many projects.
Now I wanted to use it on another system (both Ubuntu 18.04) and with the simple basic code:

import webbot as Browser
import time

web = Browser(showWindow=False)
time.sleep(1)

web.quit()

I do get this error message: TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Any ideas how to solve it?
Thanks a lot.

Update:
The same code and much more useful codes are running on other systems of mine. So I am confused what it means. I do not get an error for just using import webbot as Browser.

Conversion of a Python script using webbot module to an .exe file

As I tried to convert my running Python (3.6.5) script to an .exe file using pyinstaller I was getting an error that the path of the webbot module could not be found.

In order to overcome this problem I tried to specify the path of the module in the spec file, without success. An easier workaround suggests copying the downloaded folder webbot in the same folder where the .exe file is.

But in order for this to work you should not convert it as one file like this

pyinstaller --onefile file.py

but like this

pyinstaller file.py

After doing this the .exe could be launched without any problems.

An other error was coming because of trying to import webbot in my script. Probably this is a noob mistake, but one has to:

from webbot import Browser

All in all, a very handy and easy to use module

Issue with automatic web.type() method

Hello,

I face an issue with web.type(). It is not working on all pages. An example for this is www.airbnb.com.
I tried to give the corresponding "id" element names as well. It is not clear how this method is working.
Is there any way to provide the "into" or "id" parameters with a list, so that we can initially declare all the possible names as a list and then pass this list as a parameter?

Thanks in advance,

after replacing chrome_linux with arm64 version I'm getting next issue:

User Agent settings

Hello,
it would be nice having an option to change user agent when initializing a webdriver.

Can you please add it in next version?

My solution:

    class Browser:
    ...


    :__init__(showWindow = True , proxy = None, userAgent = None):
        ...
        :Args:
            - showWindow : If true , will run a headless browser without showing GUI window.
            - proxy : Url of any optional proxy server.
           - userAgent: userAgent string to be set for browser identification



    ....
    def __init__(self, showWindow=True, proxy=None , downloadPath:str=None, userAgent:str=None ):
        
        if userAgent:
            options.add_argument("user-agent={}".format(userAgent))
