Retrieve the session ID in *agouti.webdriver for Golang

Question

I want to use the session id while creating a new WebDriver with Agouti to pass it to SauceLabs for status update.

Commands Used:

url := fmt.Sprintf("http://%s:%s@ondemand.saucelabs.com/wd/hub", username, accesskey)
page,err :=agouti.NewPage(url, options)
Expect(err).NotTo(HaveOccurred())
page.Navigate(`https://qiita.com/login`)

I tried to retrieve the session ID from page.Session() but the return type is a Bus Interface and result is Session with the *http.client variable.

Is there any other alternative to it?, to just retrieve the session id.

Are you saying that you don't know how to parse Output to get Desired Output? — JeffC, Jul 31 '17 at 18:08
Yes, I am unable to parse the output or any other alternative to just retrieve the Session ID. — Anvesh, Jul 31 '17 at 18:18
Just convert the `sessionId` to a string, split it by space, and take the first part. — JeffC, Jul 31 '17 at 18:25
I tried following that approach, but I was unable to convert the variable "sessionId" to string, as the return type of page.Session() is *api.Session — Anvesh, Jul 31 '17 at 18:48
The fact that the logs contain the sessionId as a string, clearly it's possible. What have you tried to convert it to string? Please add that code to your question. — JeffC, Jul 31 '17 at 19:29
I used : sessionId, _ = json.Marshal(sessionId) But i get the error message as "cannot assign [] byte to session id (type *api.Session in multiple assignment" — Anvesh, Jul 31 '17 at 20:13

The page.Session().Bus returns a type *apiSession to extract the session ID. Use of Indirect can help us return the value that *apiSession points to in this case page.Session().Bus from there we can extract the sessionID.

sessionBus := reflect.ValueOf(page.Session().Bus)
sessionURL := reflect.Indirect(sessionBus)
sessionField := sessionURL.FieldByName(`SessionURL`)
sessionString := sessionField.String()
sessionSplit := strings.SplitN(sessionString, "/", 7)
sessionID := sessionSplit[len(sessionSplit)-1]

fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("%s", sessionId)[:32]) thanks to Gavin!

Good luck!

OP's "Desired Output" is the one _without_ `0x1707a60`. – msanford Jul 31 '17 at 17:11
Ya I got the desired output and output confused. Just updated it @msanford – James Jul 31 '17 at 17:12
Also not correct, this only prints the first 10 characters; OP wants to truncate the _final_ 10 characters. – msanford Jul 31 '17 at 17:12

Yup. Yours is good. Just want to save as much code as possible! – James Jul 31 '17 at 17:21

I tried with the sessionId[:32] but as its not a string variable cannot slice it I suppose. Error: cannot slice sessionId (type *api.Session) – Anvesh Jul 31 '17 at 17:22
What language are you using? – James Jul 31 '17 at 17:22
Try `fmt.Println(TrimRight(sessionId, 10))` – James Jul 31 '17 at 17:25
@Brendan It's not a string. You would need something like `fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("%s", sessionId)[:32])`. – Gavin Jul 31 '17 at 17:26
So try that @Anvesh – James Jul 31 '17 at 17:28
I think we need to first convert the *api.session to string type only then it would work. I tried fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("%s", sessionId)[:32]) but received a weird output - &{%!s(*bus.Client=&{http://amalh – Anvesh Jul 31 '17 at 17:36
@Anvesh did you get it working? If so please mark my answer as correct so people in the future can fix this issue! – James Sep 16 '17 at 19:25
