Selenium IDE: How to select next available date from datepicker

I want my selenium IDE test case to run like the steps below in order to select a date automatically:

  • Click departure date to open datepicker
  • Starting with day currently selected, loop through dates until reaching the next available date (If required move onto the next month or year to find the next available date)
  • Select the available date from the datepicker
  • Can somebody show me as I'm new to selenium on how to do this for the above example? All my script can do at the moment is open the calendar.

    Below is the html I managed to receive that matches with the screenshot above:

    //Months drop down
        <select class="ui-datepicker-month" data-handler="selectMonth" data-event="change">
        <option value="2" selected="selected">Mar
        </option><option value="3">Apr</option>
        <option value="4">May</option>
        <option value="5">Jun</option>
        <option value="6">Jul</option>
        <option value="7">Aug</option>
        <option value="8">Sep</option>
        <option value="9">Oct</option>
        </select>
    //Years drop down
        <select class="ui-datepicker-year" data-handler="selectYear" data-event="change">
        <option value="2016" selected="selected">2016</option>
        </select>

    Automating such a task in a Selenium IDE would be quite challenging since there is a non-trivial logic involved in getting the next available date, you should consider switching to Selenium WebDriver picking one of the selenium language bindings available.

    Here is a working code made using Python language Selenium bindings. The idea is to:

  • instantiate a WebDriver (using Firefox() in this example but there are other choices too)
  • maximize the browser window
  • navigate to the URL (http://www.jet2.com)
  • wait until the page is loaded explicitly (docs)
  • fill out the departure and destination fields
  • click the "Depart" field to trigger the calendar to be shown
  • in the calendar, locate the current date - it has the ui-datepicker-current-day class
  • check if there is an available date in this month using the "by XPath" location technique and following axis. If yes, print it out and click.
  • if we have not found the next available date in this month, initialize and "endless" loop and click the "Next" month button checking if we have an available date present. Print it out and click if found and exit the loop. Otherwise, click the "Next" button.
  • if we don't have the "Next" button - then we are at the end of a year, select the next year in the year dropdown, continue the loop
  • close the driver when done
  • The Code:

    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
    from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
    from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
    from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select

    driver = webdriver.Firefox()  # or, webdriver.Chrome(), or webdriver.PhantomJS() or etc.
    driver.maximize_window()
    driver.get("http://www.jet2.com")
    
    wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
    actions = ActionChains(driver)
    
    # wait for the page to load
    wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "departure-airport-input")))

        print("Found an available date: {day} {month} {year}".format(day=next_available_date.text, month=month, year=year))
        next_available_date.click()
    except NoSuchElementException:
        # looping over until the next available date found
        while True:
            # click next, if not found, select the next year
            try:
                calendar.find_element_by_class_name("ui-datepicker-next").click()
            except NoSuchElementException:
                # select next year
                year = Select(calendar.find_element_by_class_name("ui-datepicker-year"))
                year.select_by_visible_text(str(int(year.first_selected_option.text) + 1))
    
            # reporting current processed month and year
            month = Select(calendar.find_element_by_class_name("ui-datepicker-month")).first_selected_option.text
            year = Select(calendar.find_element_by_class_name("ui-datepicker-year")).first_selected_option.text
            print("Processing {month} {year}".format(month=month, year=year))
    
            try:
                next_available_date = calendar.find_element_by_xpath(".//td[@data-handler='selectDay']")
                print("Found an available date: {day} {month} {year}".format(day=next_available_date.text, month=month, year=year))
                next_available_date.click()
                break
            except NoSuchElementException:
                continue
    
    driver.close()
    

    Test results:

  • Leeds Bradford -> Antalya AYT (next available date in April):

    Current date: 28 Mar 2016
    Processing Apr 2016
    Found an available date: 4 Apr 2016
    
  • Leeds Bradford - > Budapest BUD (next available date in the same month as current date):

    Current date: 12 Feb 2016
    Found an available date: 15 Feb 2016
    
  • ? (next available date in the next year)


  • It is quite challenging to do this via Selenium IDE. Refer link here and see how gotoIF works. Download user extension js from here and add to your selenium IDE. If you can use Selenium Webdriver then it will be easy for you to achieve.

    My below examples are to do via Selenium IDE. I have given example only to select outbound flight. In both cases, I first send the url with today's date as departure and arrival date. I then use gotoIf to select first available date for outbound.

    Example 1:

            System.out.println(returnMonth.getText());
            List<WebElement> returnDate = returnMonth.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
            for (WebElement we1 : returnDate) {
                System.out.println("~" + we1.getText());
                we1.click();
                break;
            }
            Thread.sleep(1000);
            browser.close();
        }
    }
    

    Look out for the <tbody> and find all visible dates using tag by name as "a" you will get all the dates which are viable or showing in green color.

    Later refine your logic based on your requirement.
