How to select the Date Picker In Selenium WebDriver?

Software Testing Automation Testing Selenium Web Driver

We can select the date picker in Selenium. It is slightly difficult to handle calendar controls as the day, month and year selection can be represented via different UI.

Sometimes they are represented by the dropdown or by forward and backward controls. Let us select the date picker as shown below.

From Date −

To Date −

Example

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;
public class DatePicker{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
      "C:\\Users\\ghs6kor\\Desktop\\Java\\chromedriver.exe");
      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
      String frdate = "20";
      String todate = "26";
      driver.get("https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/#date−range");
      // wait of 4 seconds
      driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(4, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
      // maximize browser
      driver.manage().window().maximize();
      // identify frame and switch to it
      WebElement e = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='content']/iframe"));
      driver.switchTo().frame(e);
      // choose from date
      driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='from']")).click();
      Thread.sleep(1000);
      // choose month from dropdown
      WebElement m = driver
      .findElement(By.xpath("//div/select[@class='ui− datepicker−month']"));
      Select s = new Select(m);
      s.selectByVisibleText("Jan");
      Thread.sleep(1000);
      // select day
      driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[not(contains(@class,'ui−datepicker− month'))]/a[text()='"+frdate+"']")).click();
      Thread.sleep(1000);
      // choose to date
      driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='to']")).click();
      Thread.sleep(1000);
      // choose month from dropdown
      WebElement n = driver
      .findElement(By.xpath("//div/select[@class='ui− datepicker−month']"));
      Select sel = new Select(n);
      sel.selectByVisibleText("Feb");
      Thread.sleep(1000);
      // select day
      driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[not(contains(@class,'ui−datepicker− month'))]/a[text()='"+todate+"']")).click();
      Thread.sleep(1000);
   }
}
