webautomation

I have been assigned the task of automating a web based task ( for a HTTPS website). The users currently are filling in the Excel sheet with the data, they now want to automate excel in such a way that it directly controls the browser and fills in the data. I found the iMacros Scripting edition as a possible solution for doing this, I wanted to know if there are any other similar tools which can be used for controlling the browser and filling in data. I also had a look at the Selenium Client Driver, but I am not sure on how to use it in Excel VBA. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, You can

I couldn't really find this information anywhere, I am looking for a list of possible keys that can be used in the profile.set_preference() API. Here is some context: from selenium import webdriver from pyvirtualdisplay import Display display = Display(visible=0, size=(1024, 768)) display.start() profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile() Now, if I want to, say specify a client SSL, I need to configure that as a preference of FireFox profile. I am trying to find the list of all the preferences so I can play with this. You can look at profile.DEFAULT_PREFERENCES which is the json at python2.7/site

I am using Kantu to automate filling out some forms. There is a textbox that when a persons id number is entered and you click into another box or tab out of the textbox it will load that persons vcard. I can try to expound if you need more clarity. I don't know much but i'm guessing me clicking into another box is activiating some kind of event to load this vcard. I can't seem to simulate this. Does anyone know of a way to do so? Welcome to SO. There are different option to get the associated events. Let's take the stackoverflow search box (the one which is on the top with s-input js-search

This question has been asked over and over again - and in-spite of trying all the hacks I still can't seem to figure out what's wrong. I tried increasing the implicitly_wait to 30 (and even increased it upto 100) - yet it did not work. Use case -: I am trying to create a list that wil populate all the items in the page here , as a base case - and I intend to bind this to a mini-module that I already have with scrapy which has all (pages with similar web elements) crawled links - so essentially will be building the whole pipeline, post I am done with this. ###My source code - generated via
