Running javascript in Selenium using Python

Question

I am totally new to Selenium. I want to execute a javascript snippet in the following code(as commented in the code), but can't do so. Please help.

from selenium import webdriver
import selenium
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time

patch = raw_input("Enter patch number\n")
rel = raw_input("Enter release\n")
plat = raw_input("Enter port\n")

browser = webdriver.Firefox()

browser.get("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")

pdtfamily = browser.find_element_by_id("prodFamilyID")
pdtfamily.send_keys("Database & Tools" + Keys.TAB)
time.sleep(5)

pdt = browser.find_element_by_id("productID")
pdt.send_keys("Intelligent Agent" + Keys.TAB)
time.sleep(5)

pdt1 = browser.find_element_by_id("patchCacheChkBxID")
pdt1.send_keys(Keys.SPACE)
time.sleep(5)

pdt7 =  browser.find_element_by_id("M__Idf")
pdt7.send_keys(plat)

pdt8 =  browser.find_element_by_id("M__Idg")
pdt8.send_keys("American English")

# Here I want to execute this javascript - "submitForm('patchCacheAdd',1,{'event':'ok'});return false"

browser.close()

If I use -

selenium.GetEval("submitForm('patchCacheAdd',1,{'event':'ok'});return false")

it errors out as -

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'GetEval'I 

Answer 1

Try browser.execute_script instead of selenium.GetEval.

See this answer for example.
