How to select specific date with Date Picker In Selenium WebDriver

Question

I am working on Selenium WebDriver and using Java. I want to select the date range from the date picker showing in below screen.

Currently, I am able to select date picker and change month selection but unable to select date values (i.e - 12/10/2018)

Datepicker selection

Here the Java Code I have written:

    driver.findElement(By.linkText("Leave")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.linkText("Apply Leave")).click();
    Thread.sleep(2000);
    driver.findElement(By.id("LeaveStartDate")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.className("next")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.className("day")).sendKeys("12");
    driver.findElement(By.id("LeaveEndtDate")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.className("next")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.className("day")).sendKeys("12/11/2018");

}
}

Solution 1

Thank you guys for responded to my query... I have tried with Xpath and its works for me

Here the details:

With Below code i have been selecting Start & End date in "Date Picker"

driver.findElement(By.id("LeaveStartDate")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.className("next")).click();

    driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[8]/div[1]/table/tbody/tr[3]/td[2]")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.id("LeaveSEndDate")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[9]/div[1]/table/tbody/tr[3]/td[5]")).click();

Conclusion: Xpath is the solution for those who are unable to execute their selenium Java code of "Jquery Date Picker".

Solution 2

You need to locate the box that says "Start Date" and sendKeys to that element, rather than to the datepicker itself.

driver.findElement(By.id("LeaveStartDate")).sendKeys("12/10/2018");

Then do the same for the End Date.
