Robot Framework

Hi All,

I am not sure what’s wrong in the below Get Request, when i run the script in Get Request link appended.

Issue : GET Request : url=http://127.0.0.1:5000//http://127.0.0.1:5000/index.html

Please see the below code and the Report screenshot.

I am stuck here! Really appreciate for the help.

Hi,

Hard to say, since I can only guess what is the value of LinkedItems[${INDEX}]. But I guess it contains https://127.0.0.1:5001/index.html? Then Get Request works exactly as expected. At that keyword you do not repeat the complete url that you had already provided at Get session. You provide the last part of the url that will be attached to the url from the session.

So I guess, when LinkItem[${INDEX}] contains the value index.html this should work.

Out of curiosity: you use a very old version of SeleniumLibrary. What version of RequestLibrary do you use? You might want to upgrade both.

Hi Jag,

With the modified following code, I am able to successfully verify the links.
For some reason, I am not able to get auto suggestions with the SeleniumLibrary, that’s why i am using Selenium2Library.

*** Settings ***

Library RequestsLibrary
Library Selenium2Library

Test Setup Open Browser {BASE_URL} Test Teardown Close Browser *** Variables *** {BASE_URL} http://127.0.0.1:5000/ #http://www.practiceselenium.com/

*** Test Cases ***
Broken links test
Comment Count Number Of Linkds on the Page
{AllLinksCount}= get element count xpath://a Comment Log links count Log {AllLinksCount}

${element_list}=      Get WebElements       xpath=//a
${href_list}=  Evaluate  [item.get_attribute('href') for item in $element_list]
Log    ${href_list}

 Remove Values From List  ${href_list}  javascript:void(0)     #<-- don't forget checking content on list -->
 Log    ${href_list}

Create Session    testing    ${BASE_URL}
:FOR    ${element_href}    IN    @{href_list}
 \   ${uri}=    Remove String    ${element_href}    ${BASE_URL}
  \  ${contains_base_url}=    Evaluate     "${BASE_URL}" in "${element_href}"
  \  ${response}=    Run Keyword If    ${contains_base_url}    Get Request    testing    ${uri}
  \  Run Keyword If    ${contains_base_url}    Should Be Equal As Strings     ${response.status_code}    200

When you create Requests session, you associate a baseurl into that session: “http://127.0.0.1:5000/” . Then, you are getting a link from your page, which looks like its a full url “http://127.0.0.1:5000/index.html”, these are then combined and result is what you get. Either you omit the session or split the url to base url and path from LinkItems… To split the url, you could use SeleniumTestability’s Spit Url To Host And Path keyword

PS. Dont use Selenium2Library. Its backwards compatibility layer. Latests release just SeleniumLibrary
