Selenium, Java: Click, scroll to find the city (Varadero)

Question

Selenium with Java: I try to click, scroll and choose Varadero as my destination. I have this:

driver.findElement(By.id("TOSEARCH")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("TOSEARCH")).sendKeys("Varadero");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(@class,'name')]//em[contains(text(),'Varadero')]")).click();

Answer 1

You should first click to choose the from (De in French) in order to be able to click and select the destination to (Vers in French). And each source and destination have their unique Id that can be used to identify them easily.

here's the how you may approach:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;

import java.time.Duration;

public class TransatSearchAutomation {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Setup ChromeDriver using WebDriverManager
        WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();

        // Set ChromeOptions
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
        options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
        options.addArguments("--disable-popup-blocking");
        options.setExperimentalOption("excludeSwitches", new String[]{"enable-automation"});
        options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false);

        // Initialize WebDriver
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(5));

        try {
            // Open the website
            driver.get("https://www.transat.com/fr-CA?search=package");

            // Wait for 'FROMSEARCH' element and click
            WebElement fromSearch = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id("FROMSEARCH")));
            fromSearch.click();
            Thread.sleep(2000);

            // Select departure city
            WebElement departureCity = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#YUL-FROMSEARCH > span.code"));
            departureCity.click();

            // Wait for 'TOSEARCH' element and click
            WebElement toSearch = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id("TOSEARCH")));
            toSearch.click();
            Thread.sleep(2000);

            // Select destination city
            WebElement destinationCity = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#City-13-TOSEARCH > div > span.name"));
            destinationCity.click();
            Thread.sleep(2000);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            // Close the browser
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}
