Selenium call function Java Scipt

Question

I want to call a function after selenium sees and get the text of a link on page,

driver.get("https://www.guerrillamail.com/");
driver.findElement(By.id('inbox-id')).getText().then(function(gm){
address = gm + "@sharklasers.com";
var output = new Buffer(address, 'hex');
console.log(output);
mailExistsCheck();
var query = driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(), '[email protected] ')]")));
query.click();
var query2 = driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.partialLinkText("iptlogin")));
query2.getText();
var target = query2.getText();

aftter selenium finds this driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.partialLinkText("iptlogin"))); I want to start a function called activateMail(target).

i Need to do something simular to this

var link = target.includes("iptlogin");
if (link = true) {
activateMail(target);
console.log("True");
}

• Tarun Lalwani: So what is the issue you are facing ?
• Devin Raynovich: I Edited Question
• JeffC: Your locator will find the element you are looking for. If it doesn't find it, the wait will throw a timeout exception. If the exception isn't thrown, call activateMail().

Answer 1

@Devin, If you wants to run Javascript with selenium web driver use JavaScriptExecutor method, with the Following syntax :

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript(" var link = target.includes('iptlogin'); if (link == true) { activateMail(target); console.log('True'); } ");

• Tarun Lalwani: Have the fixed the syntax errors. You needed to use ' instead of ", else it breaks the syntax

Answer 2

You will use something like below

driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.partialLinkText("iptlogin"))).then(
 () => driver.executeScript("activateMail()")
)

or you can even use it like below

driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.partialLinkText("iptlogin")))
driver.isElementPresent(by.partialLinkText('iptlogin')).then(
 () => driver.executeScript("activateMail()")
)

2nd one makes sure the element is present then only the function is executed. First one doesn't gurantee that
