Selenium how to get variable from script removed from DOM - javascript

<script id="[randomid]">
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",function(){
var quiz=new Quiz();
//// some logic here
document.getElementById('[randomid]').parentNode.removeChild(document.getElementById('[randomid]'));
});
</script>
I am trying to get variable quiz in selenium and execute some functions on it. But problem is that before I can do anything it is already removed from dom and it is working in bakground. I can print this object in chrome console using this: queryObjects(Quiz). But it just prints and doesn't return object. So I am looking for function which for example would return all variables of choosen type, or would somehow restore this script to dom. Maybe it is possible to prevent from removing script from dom.

Finally I used Selenium Wire to intercept response and change it. I added document.quiz = quiz; after initialization.

How to deal with DOM elements?

I am learning about writing custom JavaScript for my Odoo 10 addons.
I've written the following piece of code:
odoo.define('ioio.io', function(require) {
'use strict'
const e = $('div.o_sub_menu_footer')
console.log('--testing--'.repeat(7))
console.log(e)
// the "Powered by Odoo" down the secondary menu
e.remove()
})
The code is well loaded and I can see my testing string in the console.
However when this code is being loaded before the target div, so e empty/not yet filled and thus its content is not removed.
Doing it manually from the console works.
My question is what is the right way to do that? And how to know exactly when the code gets executed?
You can
put your html code before the script tag in your file
use jQuery $(document).ready(...);
Place your script at the bottom of the <body> tag to make sure the DOM renders before trying to manipulate it.
This is an Odoo specific question, so you should use the Odoo standard way, which is via its base JS class. That class contains a ready() method which does exactly what you need.
In your case, to use that function, you need to require the class first. Then you can use ready().
Updating your code, it should look like this:
odoo.define('ioio.io', function(require) {
'use strict'
// require base class
var base = require('web_editor.base');
//use its ready method
base.ready().done(function () {
// put all the code you want to get loaded
// once the DOM is loaded within this block
const e = $('div.o_sub_menu_footer')
console.log('--testing--'.repeat(7))
console.log(e)
// the "Powered by Odoo" down the secondary menu
e.remove()
});
})
While your accepted answer leads to the same outcome, you might want to update it to this one since this is the Odoo way. It's generally advised to work within the Odoo framework as much as possible and customise only if really needed. (Though it can be tough to learn what features Odoo already provides because of its poor documentation.)

Qt function runJavaScript() does not execute JavaScript code

I am trying to implement the displaying of a web page in Qt. I chose to use the Qt WebEngine to achieve my task. Here's what I did :
Wrote a sample web page consisting of a empty form.
Wrote a JS file with just an API to create a radio button inside the form.
In my code, it looks like this :
View = new QWebEngineView(this);
// read the js file using qfile
file.open("path to jsFile");
myJsApi = file.Readall();
View->page()->runjavascript (myjsapi);
View->page()->runjavascript ("createRadioButton(\"button1\");");
I find that the runJavaScript() function has no effect on the web page. I can see the web page in the output window, but the radio button I expected is not present. What am I doing wrong?
I think you will have to connect the signal loadFinished(bool) of your page() to a slot, then execute runJavaScript() in this slot.
void yourClass::mainFunction()
{
View = new QWebEngineView(this);
connect( View->page(), SIGNAL(loadFinished(bool)), this, SLOT(slotForRunJS(bool)));
}
void yourClass::slotForRunJS(bool ok)
{
// read the js file using qfile
file.open("path to jsFile");
myJsApi = file.Readall();
View->page()->runJavaScript(myjsapi);
View->page()->runJavaScript("createRadioButton(\"button1\");");
}
I had this problem, runJavascript didn't have any effect. I had to put some html content into the view (with page().setHtml("") before running it.
Check the application output, it might contain JavaScript errors. Even if your JS code is valid, you might encounter the situation where the script is run before DOMContentLoaded event, that is document.readyState == 'loading'. Therefore, the DOM might not be available yet, as well as variables or functions provided by other scripts. If you depend on them for your code to run, when you detect this readyState, either wait for the event or try calling the function later, after a timeout. The second approach with timeout might be needed if you need to get the result of the code execution, as this can be done only synchronously.

How to include javascript file only once

I want to give clients an HTML block they can include in their site, and this HTML will contain some table and image, plus a javascript that will make manipulations over the HTML block.
so I give them the HTML :
<a data-theme="1" data-srv="http://localhost:50987/" class="block1" href="http://myserver/payment/Details">outer information</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://myserver/Scripts/checkout.js"></script>
in checkout.js I have included JQuery if no Jquery exists in document and do manipulation over the element $('a.block1') ... the problem is when someone puts this block of HTML more then once over the same page, I want that the client will not call "checkout.js" more then once,
I've tried declaring global var inside "checkout.js" and check if it's exists, it works good to stop doing the same manipulation more then once but I want to stop the call to JS al together .
Javascript runs after it loads, you can't stop the JS running, if it is referenced multiple times. It won't be loaded multiple times, so the overhead of it running again is basically nil.
To stop the behavior of the javascript happening again, just put the check at the top level of the file, put the rest of the file in the conditional, and write to a global variable to make sure you don't run again.
if (window._your_unique_id === undefined) {
window._your_unique_id = true;
// the rest of your javascript
}
that will mean nothing in the script runs. You can still define whatever you like in that if statement, though if you define functions and variables in there, you may have to explicitly put them on the window object, because they'll otherwise be local (but then, it is bad practice to have anything implicitly defined global anyway, so it shouldn't make any difference if your code is well structured).
Just deploy your code as a module.
Ie.
(function(window){
if(window.CheckoutModule) return;
// now you're certain there's no global module loaded
var CheckoutModule = window.CheckoutModule = {};
// you can, ie, add a jQuery check here.
if('undefined' != typeof jQuery) {
// do your jQuery thing here.
}
return ;
})(window, jQuery);

Function Undefined: Must a javascript function be defined within the same file?

I've got a file notifications.js containing one event bound to an element, and a function updateNotification(). This function uses jQuery to update certain elements on the page when a JSON object is passed as a parameter.
The problem:
I'm attempting to call this function within the page (via <script> tags), however rather than calling it, it breaks the page. I did some digging around within the Chrome Developer Console (not sure of the name), and an error is flagged:
/pleaseshare/views/install/:50 Uncaught ReferenceError:updateNotification is not defined
However, when I pan within the console, I can clearly see the file notifications.js listed under scripts, and the function is defined there. If I define the function within the current scope (e.g. the line above the call), it works fine.
What I've tried
The function contains some javascript that requires jQuery, so I've attempted both with and without encasing it in $(document).ready( function() {});, with neither seeming to have any affect.
I'm pretty stumped.
For good measure, here's a link to show the structure of my javascript and html: http://snippi.com/s/znk6xe9
Any help in figuring out why this is happening, or explanations of why javascript functions cannot be called cross-file (although I'd hope this isn't the case), would be greatly appreciated ;)!!
A function cannot be called unless it was defined in the same file or one loaded before the attempt to call it.
A function cannot be called unless it is in the same or greater scope then the one trying to call it.
You code looks like the structure should work, but is clearly a reduced test case that has been reduced to the point where it won't.
Got it working. The issue was definitely multi-faceted, but I figured it out.
First off the use of RequireJS had an impact on updateNotification(), in that it couldn't be called cross-file, and was therefore considered undefined. I assume this because of how RequireJS loads files, and I'll look into the documentation later (and post an edit if I find anything relevant).
Secondly, updateNotification() would again be considered undefined when encased within jQuery's DOM ready loader $(document).ready(function(){}). However updateNotification() contains executions which require jQuery, so I had to encase the contents of the function in $(document).ready(function(){}).
This is an issue very unique to RequireJS/jQuery, hence why in most use cases this wouldn't occur.
Side note: The tags are edited to reflect this.
you need to import your script into your page:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="path/to/notifications.js"></script>
This needs to be added above the <script> tag that calls updateNotification()
Functions do not need to be declared in the same file. In fact, avoiding having every declaration dumped into the global namespace is usually a concern in JavaScript.
In the sample code in the link you provided, updateNotification is declared as a global, so there should not be a scoping problem.
However, in the same sample, you don't show notifications.js being included. You need to import it using a <script></script> element and that element must come before the script element that includes the call to updateNotification. You also must include jQuery before notifications.js, since it uses jQuery. So you need something like:
<body>
// One or two elements
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="notifications.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready( function() {
var json = {status : 'ok', message: 'Hello'};
updateNotification(json);
});
</script>
// All other elements
</body>

Get the name of the HTML document that called a JS function

I'm a beginner with JS.
I am working with some JavaScript on a site, and I just want to use only 1 file of JS for determine the actions off the pages. Something like this:
function registerEvents(){
NameOfHTMLDocument = //?? Get the name of the document that called registerEvents function.
switch(NameOfHTMLDocument)
{
case:"homepage":
hmp_btn = document.getElementById("hmp_btn");
hmp_btn.onclick=otherFunction;
break;
case:"otherPage":
elem = document.getElementById("elemID");
elem.onclick=fooFunction;
break;
//etc...
}
}
This function is called with a <body onload="registerEvents()"> that is "inherited" by all the pages.
The question is, How can I get the "NameOfHTMLDocument"?. Because I don't want that JS begin doing weird things when trying to get elements that don't exist.
I found that I can get the URL of the DOM and then play a little with it to get the string that i want, but i'm not sure if this is the better way of doing it.
It Would be nice if you have a better suggestion.
Firstly I would really suggest that you create separate script tags in html documents for functionality that is used only on that page and common functionality in separate file for several reasons:
No code pollution
Ease of change
Smaller download
Secondly, you can use switch on window.location.pathname DOM variable which is everything after domain
instead of homepage, etc..
i.e.
url = vader.samplesite.com/light/saber/
window.location.pathname = /light/saber/
(look at http://www.developertutorials.com/questions/question/q-242.php )
window.location.pathname
All you need to do is some parsing, but I'm sure you'll figure that out :) If not, leave a comment.
In your <body onload="registerEvents()"> pass the object this (the BODY in the DOM) through your event function such as : <body onload="registerEvents( THIS )">.
In your function itself, call the object you passed like object.ownerDocument.URL to get the URL including the HMTL document name or object.ownerDocument.title to get the page title.
