In this tutorial we will learn how to handle Calendar in Selenium. I will be using findElements methods to find all the dates and then will get the text and click on desired date.
Some times there are different types of date picker are using in different web applications. So we need to first look which type of date picker you are using then use below my approach. I am using below type of date picker where month and year given in a dropdown.
How To Handle Calendar in Selenium:
Steps to handle it:-
- Select month and year from dropdown.
- Common xpath store in a string (As we know till tr xpath is same for all day). For different rows like (tr[1], tr[2] etc..) we will use loop.
- Apply loop for row and column to put variable as we have mentioned in point 2.
- Use if else condition we will check specific date.
- If date is matched then click and break the loop.
Follow below code as per the above steps:-
- Select month and year from drop down:
String date = "18-August-2018";
String dateArr[]=date.split("-");
String day=dateArr[0];
String month=dateArr[1];
String year=dateArr[2];
// select month
Select sc = new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("slctMonth")));
sc.selectByVisibleText(month);
// select year
Select sct = new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("slctYear")));
sct.selectByVisibleText(year);2. Common xpath store in a string:
String beforexpath="//div[@id='crmcalendar']/table/tbody/tr[2]/td/table/tbody/tr["; String afterxpath ="]/td[";
3. Apply loop for row and column to put variable as we have mentioned in point 2:
String dayval = null;
for (int rowNum=2; rowNum<=7; rowNum++ ){
for(int colNum=1; colNum<=totalweekdays; colNum++){
try{
dayval=driver.findElement(By.xpath(beforexpath+ rowNum+ afterxpath+ colNum+"]")).getText();
//System.out.println(dayval);
} catch(NoSuchElementException e){
System.out.println("please enter a valid date");
break;
}4. Use if else condition to check specific date
5. If date is matched then click and break the loop.
if(dayval.equals(day))
{
driver.findElement(By.xpath(beforexpath+ rowNum+ afterxpath+ colNum+"]")).click();
