Not able to select Date from website Calendar | Selenium Forum

Ashik Das Posted on 28/02/2021

Hello -
Please see my code below, I'm trying to follow the project structure concept to select a date(selectDate) logic, unfortunately, this not working with my below code, I tested this in many ways with many different types of elements and compared it with "compareTO" and "equals" methods, still doesn't work. Could you please help me with this and tell me what's the issue with my code or is there something that needs to be added to the code?

Thank you,

Hi Ashish, I think I know what is the issue, the XPath to the calendar is not dynamic, so basically it's stuck on the same Months and it is not updating the 'CurrentMonthyer1' because the link is constant. However, in this particular website element, I found this link to have only the class attribute and no id or name attached to it. So is there any other way to make this xpath dynamic so when the next button is clicked on the calendar, it automatically gets the text for upcoming months as we click on it?

//*[@class='Month__MonthName-sc-12ikvnx-0 fijJjj sc-bdVaJa kVEIUC']

 

Thank you sir, 

Ashik

You can also take xpath from browser..

Good Morning, Ashish -
I've tried the xpath options few times, it's giving me the same results(see below). Also, after the code enters the while loop, it will go through the if loop only once and it exits the code with a successful compilation message. Please let me know if there is something I'm missing in my code or should I try differently?

Thank you for your support as always,
Ashik

 

 

xpath link is  >  //*[@class='Month__MonthName-sc-12ikvnx-0 fijJjj sc-bdVaJa kVEIUC']

output results: >

Hi Ashish, 

I was able to figure out the xpath issue, it worked after spliting the link. However, the while loop is not detecting the string comparison, when the both months matches, it doesn't stop to select the day. Can you tell me what is the issue on this code please? Code is below with output results ;

Hi Ashish,

I couden't find any blank space on the code.Also, I tried with compareTo(), equals and is display options, noting seems to be working for this page. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
