Selenium Can't Find Fields with Type Number

Selenium can't find fields with type number

First off, I think you have some confusion regarding those frameworks. Cucumber is a BDD framework, which doesn't automate browsers in any way, so this question has nothing to do with it (This is why I removed it from your question title).

Looks like you are using Capybara, which is an ATDD framework. You might probably consider showing us the Capybara code you use in order diagnose your problem.

Under the hood, I assume you use Selenium WebDriver, I can confirm that Selenium works fine with <input type="number"> (Tested with Firefox 28, which is the one selenium-webdriver (2.41.0) supports to).

require 'selenium-webdriver'

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox

DEMO_PAGE = <<-eos
  data:text/html,
  <input class=​"numeric integer required" id=​"application_form_age" min=​"0" name=​"application_form[age]​" size=​"50" step=​"1" type=​"number">
eos

driver.get(DEMO_PAGE)
driver.find_element(:tag_name, 'input').send_keys('25')

So you might want to create a similar demo using Capybara to test this functionality.

If the demo works, then we need take a closer look at your application.
Othwewise, please raise a ticket for Capybara developers.

Can't enter text in search field with Selenium

To enter the text brand in Search Field you can use the following code block :

search_field = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//td[@class='searchArea']/div[@class='grid-area-filter-item']//input[@class='text-field searchBox' and contains(@class,'text-field-')]")
search_field.clear()
search_field.send_keys('brand')

SELENIUM Can't access payment form/fields

The element is in a frame (i.e. a webpage within a webpage). Selenium will look for elements in the page it has loaded and not within frames. That's the problem.

To solve this we just need a bit more code, which will tell Selenium to look in the frame.

The example you've given is several pages deep into a shopping cart, so I'm going to use a much more accessible example instead: the mozilla guide to iframes.

Here is some code to open that page and then click the CSS button within the frame:

from selenium import webdriver
import time

browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get(r"https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe")
time.sleep(5)

browser.switch_to.frame(browser.find_element_by_class_name("interactive"))
css_button = browser.find_element_by_id("css")
css_button.click()
browser.switch_to.default_content()

There are two lines that are important. The first one is:

browser.switch_to.frame(browser.find_element_by_class_name("interactive"))

That finds the frame and then switches to it. Once we have done that, any code that looks for elements will be looking in the frame and not in the page that we navigated to. That is what you need to do to access the number element. In your example the class of the frame is card-fields-iframe, so use that instead of interactive.

The second important line is:

browser.switch_to.default_content()

That reverts the previous line. So now Selenium will be looking for elements within the page that we navigated to. You'll want to do that after interacting with the frame, so that you can continue through the shopping cart.

Selenium unable to find a specific field

You would need to implement wait or fluentwait. After clicking

WebElement more = driver.findElement(By.id("more_tweet_link"));
more.click();

The webdriver tries to interact with the webelement (.id("tweet_url_2")) instantly (look at error message)

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element: {"method":"id","selector":"tweet_url_2"}
Command duration or timeout: 30 milliseconds # Fails in 30 milliseconds

The reason it fails is, the webelement .id("tweet_url_2") is NOT present till the more_tweet_link is clicked.
