How to Select Date from DatePicker/Calendar in Selenium Webdriver
For DateTime selection, HTML5 has a new control shown below.
Above page can be accessed here: http://demo.guru99.com/test/
If we see the DOM of the DateTime Picker control, there will be only one input box for both date and time.
So to handle this type of control first we will fill date without separating with delimiter, i.e. if date is 09/25/2013, then we will pass 09252013 to the input box. Once done, we will shift focus from date to time by pressing ‘tab’ & fill time.
If we need to fill 02:45 PM , we will pass it a ‘0245PM’ to the same input box.
The code for datepicker looks like this –
import java.util.List; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.Keys; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import org.testng.annotations.Test; public class DateTimePicker { @Test public void dateTimePicker(){ System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromedriver.exe"); WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS); driver.get("http://demo.guru99.com/test/"); //Find the date time picker control WebElement dateBox = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//form//input[@name='bdaytime']")); //Fill date as mm/dd/yyyy as 09/25/2013 dateBox.sendKeys("09252013"); //Press tab to shift focus to time field dateBox.sendKeys(Keys.TAB); //Fill time as 02:45 PM dateBox.sendKeys("0245PM"); } }
Output will be like-
Lets look at another Calendar example. We will use Telerik DateTimePicker control. Can be accessed here
Here if we need to change the month, we have to click on the middle of the calendar header.
Similarly if we need to change the year then we can do it by clicking next or previous links on the datepicker.
And finally for changing the time we can select correct time from the dropdown(Note: Here time is selected in a gap of 30 min. i.e., 12:00, 12:30 , 1:00, 1:30 etc.).
A complete example looks like-

Output will be like
