For those who cannot find ‘blur’ event, alternatively you can remove ones in ‘focusout’

[@relaxsleep5148]

Thanks Bek, most useful comment. I was confused as I don't have blur in my Event Listerners. I removed it from 'focusout'

[@josephjibin4402]

Thanks....😊

[@Irina-cw4lw]

You really saved me, dear! I've tried so many options, but they didn't work in my case.

[@kavyag3370]

Thanks a lot, saved my day

[@vedantraut7345]

Thanks bek, very useful for me as well

[@shriniwasalle911]

This is very very useful for angular or react applications. I faced this issue lot of times, I used to do it with f8 key but now this is the coolest way you taught us. Thanks a lot man!

[@nethajiraj8081]

Great!! But did not work for my application. Still I am not able to inspect

[@SameerKumar-yu1xi]

You are a great boss... Whenever I face issue I feel you knew in advance and you made on exactly same topic... Respect 🤜🤛

[@anjalijha1598]

I was actually facing this issue and that too yesterday and today ur solution made my day....thank you so much sir

[@carln22]

Alternative if blur is not present: focusout - same trick, remove all, worked on a react dropdown I was looking into.

[@mrsagarish]

thank you

[@nayanagopinath669]

Thanks a lot Naveen for sharing this.
These are components which goes off when focus is lost. so when we switch to developer tools , the focus is lost and the component goes off.
In developer tools , inspect tab
click cmd+shift+p(short cut will be different in windows OS)
Run command focused
Select emulate a focused page option
now you will see the dropdown and can inspect the elements

[@raghavpothineni6843]

You are really god gift for all the QA people who is already in industry and people who are looking for job, I donot think we need to apply our brains while desgining framework or designing the scripts :) , simply coming to your channel and refer the videos and getting knowledge.
My Request , can you please do a video on Common/reusable methods in selenium webdriver which can be accessed across the frame work, I found Common methods for Webdriverwait, type, click . Can you please do a common methods for Calender , Bootstrap dropdowns, webtables, Search functionalitys , Auto Suggestions, Take screenshots ...I hope you can do it for your students :) because it is cakewalk for you :)

[@rakeshkumarpanda1693]

Thanks a lot Naveen for sharing this.
We can use the below script from browser dev tool console as an alternative for the same concept
setTimeout(function(){debugger;}, 5000)

[@tissosweet....8638]

Can you elaborate on it bro? Like how to use this?

[@rakeshkumarpanda1693]

Please open your browser dev console paste the script and hit enter. After 5 seconds the ui will freeze so that with the help of the inspector tool you can start inspecting the desired elements

[@pimpomfossils]

this code is a savior! even blur sometime doesn't work in salesforce , like setup dropdown.. this code works. thanks very much.

[@adityaphadnis1551]

@@rakeshkumarpanda1693 Can you please tell me after opening dev tool where I have to paste this script.

You can try removing focusout option in Event listener only. That will work.

1st collapse all the elements inside the body block and keep the body tag expanded
2nd click on you element where the disappearing elements is enabling
3rd while 2nd step note which is the parent tag of your web element
4th after that, right click on parent tag and click on Break on > subtree modification
5th again try to access element that opens the disappearing value. And access the elements

I have a query, in which when I am clicking on a button it is giving me one id, then have to wait overnight, and then next day login on the other URL where this id will have few account numbers and other data which I have to verfiy. but waiting overnight is must for data to generate , How this can be managed using Selenium ?

Hi this is not a right candidate for test automation

[@KiddoTrekAdventures]

Nice trick thanks

[@aniruddhanaik4671]

Hi I am also facing the same issue of hidden value i cant identify the element .Like you said in the video delete 3 items from blur if it is not then focusout that too is not present can you suggest something else

[@muzak_nat]

Can someone explain how he captured that xpath - Contains?

[@amitk6463]

@Naveen AutomationLabs Another trick is when the list appeared, press tab key manually to reach inspect button and hit enter key. You will find element source code without disabling blur property for those objects....

[@naveenautomationlabs]

This won't work if you have many elements on the page like Flipkart or Amazon. In fact if you try the same on Flipkart and moving manually to inspect icon and press enter. List is getting disappeared.
