used powershell to do web ui automation. came up an exception: invoke method failed, because [System.__ComObject] does not contain “click” method.
can submit type input be clicked?
i used getElementsByTagName getElementsByClassName getElementsByName , does not work.
anyone can help me on this?
powershell code is below:
# open the specified web site and commit the key
$ie = new-object -com "InternetExplorer.Application"
$ie.navigate("http://gitlab.alibaba-inc.com/keys/new")
$ie.visible = $true
while($ie.busy) {sleep 1}
$doc = $ie.document
# commit the button
$commit = $doc.getElementsByTagName("commit")
if($commit)
{$commit.click()}
the html source is as below:

You're looking for the wrong element. getElementsByTagName() is looking for the actual tag name (input), not the value of the tag's name-attribute (commit). Also, getElementsByTagName() returns a collection of COM objects. Even if no matching tag is found, the method will still return a collection (with 0 elements). You need to either check the Length property and then access the first element of the collection:
$commit = $doc.getElementsByTagName("input")
if ($commit.Length -gt 0) {
$commit.item(0).click()
}
or filter the element with the name you're looking for from the collection:
$commit = $doc.getElementsByTagName("input") | ? { $_.name -eq "commit" }
if ($commit) { $commit.click() }
I could not access the url you had listed above so I used the MIT website to show you an example of how can this be done.
# setup
$ie = New-Object -com InternetExplorer.Application
$ie.visible=$true
$ie.navigate("http://web.mit.edu/")
while($ie.ReadyState -ne 4) {start-sleep -m 100}
$termsField = $ie.document.getElementsByName("terms")
@($termsField)[0].value ="powershell"
$submitButton = $ie.document.getElementsByTagName("input")
Foreach($element in $submitButton )
{
#look for this field by value this is the field(look for screenshot below)
if($element.value -eq "Search"){
Write-Host $element.click()
}
}
Start-Sleep 10
