How to access element within a signOn window within a PowerBI page with selenium vba-CodePudding

When I try to target the email element by class or id, it will throw an error:

run-time error '438': object doesn't support this property or method

There are no iframes and I can't seem to switch to a window either(that I am seeing).

Here is vba code:

Set bot = New Selenium.ChromeDriver
   bot.start baseUrl:="https://app.powerbi.com/singleSignOn"
   bot.Get "/"
   Application.Wait Now   TimeValue("00:00:3")
   Dim FindBy As New Selenium.By

   With bot
    .FindElementsByCss(".pbi-text-input").Click
    .FindElementsById("email").SendKeys ("testing")
   end with

Html code:

    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="emailCollection"  style="display: none;"> <!-- The popup window -->
            <div >                
                <object type="image/svg xml" data="13.0.17576.29/images/PowerBI_MasterLogo.svg"></object>

CodePudding user response：

As the website is Power BI enabled, 3 seconds may not be enough for the element to be clickable.

You may increase the wait time to 10 secs and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using FindElementByCss:

bot.FindElementByCss("input.pbi-text-input#email[placeholder='Enter email'][type='text']").SendKeys ("Red")

Using FindElementByXPath:

bot.FindElementByXPath("//input[@class='pbi-text-input' and @id='email'][@placeholder='Enter email' and @type='text']").SendKeys ("Red")
