Button.isEnabled() returns true even though the button is disabled by default
16,432
From isEnabled docs
This will generally return true for everything but disabled input elements.
But it will work on buttons as well. However, isEnabled()
checks for the disabled
attribute. If the button is disabled by JavaScript or any other means isEnabled()
won't detect it.
My guess is the button has other classes when it is enabled or disabled. For example, when enabled it probably won't have commandbutton-button--disabled
class. You can check for it
WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.xpath("button XPath"));
String classes = button.getAttribute("class");
boolean isDisabled = classes.contains("commandbutton-button--disabled");

While testing I got a road block where I have a button in a WebPage which is disabled by default. I am using Selenium WebDriver to test if the button is disabled by default the boolean is always returning true.
Boolean buttonStatus = (button XPath).isEnabled
It will be great if someone can help me
HTML Information:
<div class="commandbutton commandbutton--theme-disabled commandbutton--recommended"> <button class="commandbutton-button commandbutton-button--disabled" type="button" tabindex="-1">
