Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to submit the form using Selenium.

Selenium Python

submit_button = driver.find_element(By.ID, "submit")
submit_button.[1]()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using send_keys instead of click to submit the form.

Trying to use get() on a button element.

The click() method simulates a mouse click on the submit button, which submits the form.

Complete the code to submit the form by calling the submit method on the form element.

Selenium Python

form = driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, "form")
form.[1]()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using click() on the form element instead of submit().

Trying to send keys to the form element.

The submit() method submits the form directly without clicking a button.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to submit the form by pressing Enter in the input field.

Selenium Python

input_field = driver.find_element(By.NAME, "username")
input_field.send_keys("user123" + [1])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

AKeys.RETURN

BKeys.ENTER

CKeys.SUBMIT

DKeys.CLICK

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using Keys.RETURN which may not work in all browsers.

Using Keys.SUBMIT or Keys.CLICK which do not exist.

To simulate pressing Enter, use Keys.ENTER from Selenium's Keys class.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps input names to their values for inputs with non-empty values.

Selenium Python

inputs = driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "input")
values = {input_element.get_attribute([1]): input_element.get_attribute([2]) for input_element in inputs if input_element.get_attribute('value') != ''}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A"name"

B"value"

C"id"

D"type"

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'id' or 'type' instead of 'name' for keys.

Using 'name' for values instead of 'value'.

The dictionary keys are input names ("name") and values are input values ("value").

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a test that asserts the form submission leads to the expected URL.

Selenium Python

submit_button = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[type='submit']")
submit_button.[1]()
expected_url = "https://example.com/success"
actual_url = driver.[2]
assert actual_url [3] expected_url

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aclick

Bcurrent_url

C==

Dsubmit

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using submit() on the button instead of click().

Using driver.url instead of driver.current_url.

Using != instead of == in the assertion.

Click the submit button, get the current URL, and assert it equals the expected URL.

Practice

1. What does the submit() method do in Selenium when testing forms?

easy

A. It sends the form data to the server by submitting the form.

B. It clears all input fields in the form.

C. It refreshes the current web page.

D. It closes the browser window.

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand the purpose of submit()

   The submit() method is used to send the form data to the server by submitting the form element.

2. Step 2: Compare with other options

   Clearing inputs, refreshing pages, or closing windows are not actions performed by submit().

3. Final Answer:

   It sends the form data to the server by submitting the form. -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   submit() sends form data [OK]

Hint: Remember: submit() sends form data to server [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Confusing submit() with clear() method
• Thinking submit() refreshes the page
• Assuming submit() closes the browser

2. Which of the following is the correct way to submit a form using Selenium in Python?

easy

A. driver.submit(By.ID, 'form')

B. driver.submit_element(By.ID, 'form')

C. driver.find_element(By.ID, 'form').send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

D. driver.find_element(By.ID, 'form').submit()

Solution

1. Step 1: Identify correct Selenium syntax for submitting a form

   The correct method is to locate the form element and call submit() on it, like driver.find_element(By.ID, 'form').submit().

2. Step 2: Check other options for errors

   Options A and B use invalid method names. driver.find_element(By.ID, 'form').send_keys(Keys.ENTER) sends ENTER key but does not explicitly submit the form element.

3. Final Answer:

   driver.find_element(By.ID, 'form').submit() -> Option D

4. Quick Check:

   Use element.submit() to submit form [OK]

Hint: Use element.submit() after locating form [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Using driver.submit() which does not exist
• Trying to submit with send_keys instead of submit()
• Calling submit on driver instead of element

3. What will happen when the following Selenium Python code runs?

form = driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'loginForm')
form.submit()

medium

A. The form with name 'loginForm' will be submitted to the server.

B. An error will occur because submit() is not a valid method.

C. Nothing happens because submit() does not trigger form submission.

D. The browser will close automatically.

Solution

1. Step 1: Locate the form element by name

   The code finds the form element with name 'loginForm' using find_element(By.NAME, 'loginForm').

2. Step 2: Call submit() on the form element

   Calling submit() on the form element sends the form data to the server, triggering submission.

3. Final Answer:

   The form with name 'loginForm' will be submitted to the server. -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   form.submit() submits form [OK]

Hint: submit() on form element sends data [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Thinking submit() is invalid method
• Assuming submit() does nothing
• Confusing submit() with browser close

4. You wrote this code to submit a form:

form = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'signupForm')
form.submit

Why does the form not submit when you run it?

medium

A. Because the form ID is incorrect.

B. Because submit() method was not called with parentheses.

C. Because submit() is not supported on forms.

D. Because the driver is not initialized.

Solution

1. Step 1: Check method call syntax

   The code uses form.submit without parentheses, so the method is referenced but not executed.

2. Step 2: Understand effect of missing parentheses

   Without parentheses, the form does not submit because the method is not called. Adding () calls the method.

3. Final Answer:

   Because submit() method was not called with parentheses. -> Option B

4. Quick Check:

   Call submit() with () to execute [OK]

Hint: Always use parentheses to call methods [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Forgetting parentheses after submit
• Assuming submit is a property, not a method
• Not verifying form locator correctness

5. You want to submit a form but only have access to an input field inside it. Which Selenium Python code correctly submits the form?

hard

A. form_element = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'form1')
form_element.submit()

B. input_element = driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'email')
driver.submit(input_element)

C. input_element = driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'email')
input_element.submit()

D. driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'email').send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

Solution

1. Step 1: Locate input inside the form

   You can find an input element inside the form using find_element(By.NAME, 'email').

2. Step 2: Call submit() on the input element

   Calling submit() on any element inside the form submits the entire form.

3. Final Answer:

   input_element = driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'email') input_element.submit() -> Option C

4. Quick Check:

   submit() on input submits form [OK]

Hint: submit() on any form element submits the form [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Trying to call driver.submit() which does not exist
• Using send_keys(Keys.RETURN) which may not submit form
• Not calling submit() on an element
