Selenium : Error Reporting in TestNG(WebDriver)

Error Reporting in TestNG (WebDriver)

1. Using IReporter interface
2. Using TestListenerAdapter Class
3. Using IListener interface
4. Using SeleneseTestBase   (Also ref http://catchbug.blogspot.in/2014/01/selenium-report-error-in-testng-without_30.html)

Selenium : Change execution speed in Java (Set Speed)

Change execution speed in Java (Set Speed)

 

Create a new class "_WebDriver" which extends FireFoxDriver. Inside  "_WebDriver" class override method "findElement" and introduce a delay inside it.

public class Main_class{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
              WebDriver driver=new _WebDriver(200);
            
               driver.get("https://in.yahoo.com/");
               driver.findElement(By.id("UHSearchBox")).sendKeys("address1");    
              driver.findElement(By.id("UHSearchWeb")).click();
    }
}
 
//---------Create a new Java File
public class _WebDriver extends FirefoxDriver {
 
     private int set_speed=0;
    
     public _WebDriver(int set_speed) //Constructor to initialize the speed
{
         this.set_speed=set_speed;
     }

    @Override
    public WebElement findElement(By by) {
        try {
            Thread.sleep(500);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return by.findElement((SearchContext) this);
    }
}

Selenium : Passing Arguements using "By" class

Passing locator Arguments using "By" class

Passing locator in Selenium before its existence .(small snippet below)

class base_Library{

public static void main(String args[])
{
    Lib base_Library=new base_Library();
    base_Library.wait_to_load(By.id("templateCombobox"));
}

public void wait_to_load(By by){
        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,10);        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(by));
    }
}

Selenium : Using FireFox and Chrome inbuilt Inspector and Xpath evaluator

Using FireFox inbuilt Inspector and Xpath evaluator

Steps below

1. Launch Firefox (I'm using  40.0.3)
2.  Open url "google.co.in"
3. Goto Tools >Web Developer>Inspector

 

 Similar to Firebug , user can use crosshair in the console to target a particular element.

To Verify Xpath :

1. In the above console
2. Click on ">Console" tab
3. type - $x("//input[@type='submit']")
4. Press "Enter"

 

Syntax : $x("xpath")

For Chrome (same as Firefox)

Method 1:

Install Chropath extension for Chrome

Rt ck on web page

Ck on inspect 

In Developer window , click on ">>" symbol

Select chropath

Method 2 :

User can goto :

• Settings>More tools >Developer tools
• Elements > Control+F  to open search box
• Type in your xpath Eg : .//input[@type='password']

OR

• User can also validate Xpath using "Console" tab similar to FireFox

Rest is same as FireFox.

You can also try:

1. Press F12 to open Chrome Developer Tool
2. In "Elements" panel, press Ctrl+F
3. In the search box, type in XPath or CSS Selector, if elements are found, they will be highlighted in yellow.
