<button type="submit">Save</button>
</form>


</body>
</html>

and here is my code of inserting data through selenium:

 driver.execute_script('''window.open("http://127.0.0.1:8000/insert/","_blank");''') 
                print(driver.window_handles)
                window_after = driver.window_handles[3]
                driver.switch_to.window(window_after)
                driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"/html/body/form/input[2]").send_keys(Bid_number)
                print("line 1")
                driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"/html/body/form/input[3]").send_keys(DepartmentName)
                print("line 2")
                driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"/html/body/form/input[4]").send_keys(Address)
                print("line 3")
                driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"/html/body/form/input[5]").send_keys(manpower_text)
                print("line 4")
                driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"/html/body/form/input[6]").send_keys(start_time[0])
                print("line 5")
                driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"/html/body/form/input[7]").send_keys(start_time[1])
                print("line 6")
                driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"/html/body/form/input[8]").send_keys(end_time[0])
                print("line 7")
                driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"/html/body/form/input[9]").send_keys(end_time[1])
                print("line 8")
                driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"/html/body/form/input[10]").send_keys(pdfHref)
                print("line 9")
                driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"/html/body/form/input[11]").send_keys(location)
                print("line 10")
                time.sleep(5)
                # driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"/html/body/form/button").click
                driver.close()
                driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[2])

the code runs till line 2 and after that is autosubmits the form and i dont know why that is happening.

Note: Values are not null all the varibles have value after line 2 there is no excution of code.

can someoneplease help <3

CodePudding user response：

Auto-submission might happen when some value contains the new-line char, and while it tries to sendKeys, it presses the ENTER and so the form submitted.

I've checked this hypothesis:

driver.get("https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp")

fname = driver.find_element(By.XPATH("//input[@id='fname']"))
fname.clear()
fname.send_keys('Some Fname')
lname = driver.find_element(By.XPATH("//input[@id='lname']"))
lname.clear()
lname.sendKeys('Some \nLname')

and the next data was submitted:

fname=Some Fname&lname=Some

so, double-check your input data DepartmentName or Address fields.

Replace all line-breaks with a space:

Address = Address.replace('\n', ' ').replace('\r', '')

CodePudding user response：

Just add "required" arguments in the input tag of the html and you good to go

<input type="text" id="address" name="address" required><br>
