Not able to Select dates | Selenium Forum

M

Posted on 01/06/2016

Hi Ashish,

Please i need assistance with this. I am trying to follow the select dates for calendar in the lecture video(Module 15 and Module 21 for the framework) but it seems not to be working for
me.
Please can anyone take a look for me.

In my situation my sites have different date formarts dd/MM/yyyy, dd.MM.yyyyy and yyyy-mm-ddand
i am trying to see if a common code can work for all. Below are to sets of framework. One is working
but the other is not.

example of URL with dd/mm/yyyy - https://www.americanairlines.in/intl/in/index.jsp?locale=en_IN
example of URL with dd.mm.yyyy - https://www.americanairlines.de/intl/de/index.jsp?locale=de_DE
example of URL with yyyy-mm-dd - https://www.americanairlines.jp/intl/jp/index.jsp?locale=ja_JP

1) This site has dd/MM/yyyy date formart and it works with a hard coded select day xpath instead of
the select date xpart you created.

use this as a working example.

driver.get("https://www.makemytrip.com");
driver.findElement(By.id("start_date_sec")).click();
selectDate("25/07/2016");
}

public static void selectDate(String date) throws ParseException {

Hi,
I too faced the same issue. The actual problem is if we mention the code as
String day = new SimpleDateFormat("d").format(dateToBeSelected);
This is applicable when the String date has a single digit.

Incase the String date has double digit, we will have to provide
String day = new SimpleDateFormat("dd").format(dateToBeSelected);

Now, how do we handle both the conditions together.

you can try with if else statement initialize the date differently.

Date d

if(){
double date
}else{
single date
}
