POTwitter bootstrap modal buttons not working when clicked in Selenium
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue. I've got a website utilising twitter bootstrap, at one point in my script I open a modal, I go through and interact fine with several objects within that modal (text input, dropdown, checkbox). But when I come to clicking the submit button at the end nothing happens. </p> <p>As far as selenium is concerned it clicked it, and if I watch the screen while its running and could see the button highlight as if clicked, but nothing happens. If I then try to click on it afterwards still nothing happens other than the button highlights. If I then hit RETURN or ENTER then it fires fine...</p> <p>I've tried instead of clicking sending ENTER or RETURN but they all do the same thing and am at a complete loss, I identify the object via XPATH which as far as I can see looks right...</p> <p>Here's a chunk out of the code, bear in mind that everything before this works...</p> <pre><code>threadSesh.driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='createDeal']").click(); threadSesh.driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[3]/div[2]/div/dl/dd[1]/input").clear(); threadSesh.driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[3]/div[2]/div/dl/dd[1]/input").sendKeys("MyNewProject"); Select myDropDown = new Select(threadSesh.driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[3]/div[2]/div/dl/dd[3]/select"))); myDropDown.selectByVisibleText("Buy Out"); threadSesh.driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='ProjectOriginator']/li/input").click(); threadSesh.driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='ProjectOriginator']/li/input").sendKeys("John smith"); threadSesh.driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//a[contains(text(),'Create')])[2]").click(); </code></pre> <p>Its the final line that just does nothing... Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!</p> <p>Also worth pointing out I am using ie and cannot test this in chrome or FF (neither version is allowed on this website I'm testing, its an internal platform).</p> <p>Another piece of potentially useful information, the button isn't a button in fact but a ref of some kind that's been made to look like a button using the twitter bootstrap stuff, the source for it looks like this: -</p> <pre><code><a class="btn btn-small btn-info" type="button" style="margin-right: 7px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;" data-bind="click: ok" href="#">Create</a> </code></pre> <p>If I record it in the seleneium addin for firefox it outputs this: -</p> <pre><code>driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//a[contains(text(),'Create')])[2]")).click(); </code></pre>
