Hello Monks,

I am trying to do some automation where my perl script will open a webpage and click on some link, push a button and then click on another link and push a button.

Layout: All services are placed on the left side of the page. Each service has its own set of buttons. The services links is visible on every page. When the service is clicked, the right portion of the page changes to reflect stuff of the service clicked

Here is my perl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Selenium::Remote::Driver;

my $url = 'http://my_internal_url.com';

my $driver = Selenium::Remote::Driver->new(
    'browser_name' => 'phantomjs',
    'port'     => '8089'
);

$driver->get( $url );

$driver->find_element("//a[contains(.,'serviceone')]")->click(1);
$driver->find_element("//input[\@value='Stop Service']")->click(1);

$driver->find_element("//a[contains(.,'servicetwo')]")->click(1);
$driver->find_element("//input[\@value='Get Status']")->click(1);
[download]

I can see from the logs that the script does work. It worked fine when I was testing it by having the driver click on just one service. Since that was not going to be the only purpose of this script (it will do several other things for a particular service, then select another service, do stuff for it and then another service...etc) I started testing with two services.

This led to the issue I am having. During some runs both buttons gets pushed for serviceone and during some runs both buttons gets pushed for servicetwo. Sometimes just one button gets pushed for any one service.

I can't seem to figure out why is it happening. I have added sleep, set_implicit_wait_timeout, pause but the issue prevails.

The webpage doesn't have url but javascript onclick events.

Looking forward to your wisdom.
