How to validate that user is not able to enter any data in the given field using selenium java

Question

I want to validate that field is not editable. Code I am trying is:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@comp-id='1494']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@comp-id='1494']")).sendKeys("PleaseCHECK");

But this is not working as it successfully pass this and according to my TC this is incorrect

div of above element (which is not editable) looks like:

<div tabindex="-1" role="gridcell" comp-id="1534" col-id="FGA_PROCESSOR" class="ag-cell ag-cell-not-inline-editing ag-cell-with-height ag-cell-value ag-cell-no-focus" style="width: 97px; left: 1864px; "></div>

div of editable field looks like:

<div tabindex="-1" role="gridcell" comp-id="1532" col-id="fgaConfigDescription" class="ag-cell ag-cell-with-height ag-cell-value ag-cell-focus ag-cell-inline-editing ag-column-hover" style="width: 175px; left: 1581px; "><input class="ag-cell-edit-input" type="text"></div> 

Only difference between editable and non editable fields is on INPUT tag.

I just need to make sure that the field is not editable and doesn't accept any text/data

Answer 1

You can validate this by using try and catch also,
look at this:

public static boolean isElementPresent(By by)
    {
        try{            
            driver.findElement(by);
            return true;
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            return false;
        }
    }

Now use this method in your test class-

By value1= By.xpath(".//div[@comp-id='1534']/input");
By value2= By.xpath(".//div[@comp-id='1534']");

driver.findElement(value2).click();
Assert.assertEquals(isElementPresent(value1), false, "Field is editable");

Answer 2

As per your scenario, If you validate that INPUT tag is not available, then you could identify text field is not editable.

Try this piece of code:

    List lstElmnt=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@comp-id='1494']/input")); 
     if(lstElmnt.size()<=0)
     { 
       System.out.println("Text field is not editable"); 
     } 
    else 
     { 
        Assert.fail("Text field is editable"); 
     }

Answer 3

`//Fist click on an element
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@comp-id='1494']")).click();
//Then validate Input tag
List <WebElement> lstElmnt=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@comp-id='1494']/input")); if(lstElmnt.size()<=0){
 System.out.println("Text field is not editable"); }
else { Assert.fail("Text field is editable"); }`

Answer 4

You could specifically check for the not-inline-editing part of the Class:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[comp-id='1494'][class^='cell-not-inline-editing']"));

Above should check the comp-id entry also has a class that contains (denoted by ^=) 'cell-not-inline-editing'.
