Selenium : Creating CSS Selector using Xpath (CSS vs Xpath)

Creating CSS selector using Xpaths

Table 1: CSS vs. Xpath

Goal	CSS 3	XPath
All Elements	*	//*
All P Elements	p	//p
All Child Elements	p > *	//p/*
Element By ID	#foo	//*[@id='foo']
Element By Class	.foo	//*[contains(@class,'foo')] ¹
Element With Attribute	*[title]	//*[@title]
First Child of All P	p > *:first-child	//p/*[0]
All P with an A child	Not possible	//p[a]
Next Element	p + *	//p/following-sibling::*[0]

Table 2: Table 1: CSS vs. Xpath

XPath	CSS equiv	Explanation
//div	div	Find elements of a particular type
id(‘bob’) or //*[@id='bob']	#bob	Find elements with a specific ID
//div[@id='bob']	div#bob	Find an elements of a particular type with a specific ID
//*[@class='bob']	.bob	Find elements with a specific class
//div[@class='bob']	div.bob	Find elements of a particular type with a specific class
//div//a	div a	Find descendant elements of a particular type
//div/a	div > a	Find direct child elements of a particular type
//a[@title]	a[title]	Find elements of a particular type that have a specific attribute
//a[@title='bob']	a[title="bob"]	Find elements of a particular type that have an attribute of a specific value
//a[contains(@title,'bob')]	a[title*="bob"]	Find elements of a particular type that have an attribute that contains a specific value
//a[starts-with(@title,'bob')]	a[title^="bob"]	Find elements of a particular type that have an attribute that starts with a specific value

Few Examples:

xpath=//div//span/a

css=div * span > a

xpath=//div[@id="some_id"]

css=div[id=some_id]

xpath=//div[contains(@title,"title")]

css=div[@title~=title]

<div id=some_id />

css=div#some_id

xpath=//div[@class="myclass"]

css=div.myclass

<div title="some multiword title" /> while the element like <div title="my_title" />

can't be detected by CSS locator from above.

Note:

Things that XPath can do those CSS locators can’t:

Get an element’s parent, eg: //div[@class='bob']/..

From the sample above we may see analogy for XPath and CSS namely:
a) Character "/" meaning next level of DOM hierarchy corresponds to CSS operator ">".
b) Character "//" meaning any object hierarchy level under current object corresponds to CSS operator "*".

Selenium : Opening different Browsers

Selenium: Opening Firefox, IE and Chrome Browsers

Firefox:

FirefoxDriver oFFdriver=new FirefoxDriver();

oFFdriver.get("http://www.google.com");

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Done");

OR

-------------------------Code to Set Profile-------------------

ProfilesIni listprofile=new ProfilesIni();

FirefoxProfile profile=listprofile.getProfile("default");

WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver(profile);

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Internet Explorer

Note:

1. You will need IE Driver for Selenium.

2. Follow the link below and download the driver. http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list

3. Extract it into the folder and use the path inside the code

System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","Your_Path//IEDriverServer.exe");

WebDriver webdriver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

webdriver.manage().window().maximize();

webdriver.get("http://www.usatoday.com");

Chrome :

Note:

1. You will need Chrome Driver for Selenium.

2. Follow the link below and download the driver. https://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list?can=1&q=&colspec=Filename+Summary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount+Release

3. Extract it into the folder and use the path inside the code

----------------Simple Code-----------------------------------------
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","Path of Chrome driver");
//while giving path use "\\" instead of "\"

WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://wikipedia.org");

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

OR

------------Code to set profile in Chrome -------------------------
final String userProfile= "Your default -UserDate path in Chrome"
//"C:\\Users\\deepakj\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default\\";

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.addArguments("user-data-dir="+userProfile);

options.addArguments("--start-maximized");

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","http://www.usatoday.com");

webdriver = new ChromeDriver(options);

webdriver.manage().window().maximize();

webdriver.get(url);

Selenium : (Javascript) click method vs (Selenium) click method

(Javascript) click method vs (Selenium) click method

Javascript click methods are much faster ,compared to Selenium click methods.Selenium users can implemet Javascipt click instead of traditional clicks of Selenium

JavaScript click

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("something"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
