How to select a date from datePicker?

Hi @Lakshan_Waruna

Sorry for my late reply. I have being stuck with some personal matters and wasn’t able to reply on time.

Well if the site does not allow for the date to be typed in, basically we need to click on the date we need. This may require multiple clicks depending on the month and the date we need the record to be on.

You might first need to come up with a logic like this.
Basically when it expands it shows the current month calendar. So your first condition should be

  1. Which month the date picker shows by default.
  2. Next which month you need the date to be clicked on.
  3. If it’s a different month, come up with a way to navigate to the required month of the date
  4. Then a click on the required date.

So it all depends on selectors.both for the month and the day. I dont have a laptop with me so I’m unable to find you a good selector for this what you can do is, use the UI Explorer to find a good selector which you can make dynamic.

So try inspecting couple of month based selectors and do the same for the day and find a ui element tag of the selector which holds the value you need to click.

Then through the ui Explorer itself, hard code the value you need and click on verify with highlight option on to see whether it picks up the correct element.

Next, when adding this to your workflow, introduce variables for the hard coded part to make the selector dynamic… :slight_smile:
