Selenium-Webdriver, driver.findElement(…).getLocation is not a function, why?










0















I am trying to call .getLocation() on Selenium element like this code below.



const webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');

const driver = new webdriver.Builder()
.forBrowser('firefox')
.build();

driver.findElement(webdriver.By.css('.xxxx'))
.getLocation()
.then(l =>
console.log('got a position');
console.log(l);
);


But i got



Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): TypeError: driver.findElement(...).getLocation is not a function


What did i do wrong?.
Or do i need to import some other librabry?



Thanks!

          There is no getLocation() for WebElement in JavaScript. You have getRect()



          driver.findElement(webdriver.By.css('.xxxx')).getRect()

          • Oh, Thanks!, but do you know what can i use instead of getSize()?

          • @varis.dara getRect() returns promise with the coordinates and size Promise<height: number, width: number, x: number, y: number
