We can use JavaScript Executor to click and enter data to a web element in Selenium webdriver. Selenium can run JavaScript commands with the help of the executeScript method.To click an element, the parameters to the executeScript method are - arguments[0].click(); and the webelement locator.SyntaxWebElement l = driver.findElement(By.className("gsc-input")); JavascriptExecutor j = (JavascriptExecutor) driver; j.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", l);Then to enter data to the edit box, the parameter passed to the executeScript method is – web element locator.valueSyntaxj.executeScript("document.getElementsByName('gsc-i-id1')[0].value= 'Java'");Let us try to click on the below edit box and enter data into it.Exampleimport org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor; ...

We can get page source as it is in browser using Selenium webdriver using the getPageSource method. It allows us to obtain the code of the page source.SyntaxString p = driver.getPageSource();We can also obtain the page source by identifying the body tag with the help offindElement method and then apply the getText method on it. The parameter By.tagName is passed as a parameter to the findElement method.SyntaxWebElement l= driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")); String p = l.getText();ExampleCode Implementation with getPageSourceimport org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; public class PgSrc{    public static void main(String[] args) {       System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", ...

We can get the attribute value of a web element with Selenium webdriver using the method getAttribute and then pass the attribute for which we want to get the value as a parameter to that method.In an html code, an element is defined with attributes and its values in a key-value pair. Let try to get the class – heading, for the below element on the page −SyntaxWebElement t =driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[text()='About Tutorialspoint']")); String s = t.getAttribute("class");Exampleimport org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; public class AttribtValue{    public static void main(String[] args) {       System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", ...

Some of the prominent drawbacks of Selenium are listed below −Has assistance for only web oriented applications.Time consuming to configure the environment unlike the paid tools like UFT.Has no features provided by Test Management tools like ALM or UFT.New characteristics introduced in Selenium, sometimes do not work as expected.Has no in-built test report generation. It has to be integrated with TestNG/JUnit for reports.Cannot be integrated with Test Management tools like ALM or UFT.Cannot be used for verifying images.Has no record and play feature, hence building a test script needs considerable time and effort.Cannot be used for verifying mobile applications.

We can find an element that contains specific text with Selenium webdriver in Python using the xpath. This locator has functions that help to verify a specific text contained within an element.The function text() in xpath is used to locate a webelement depending on the text visible on the page. Another function contains() in xpath is used to locate a webelement with the sub-text of actual text visible on the page.Let us try to identify the element having the specific text - Privacy Policy.Syntaxl = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='Privacy Policy']") m = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(text(), 'Privacy')]")Examplefrom selenium import webdriver #set chromodriver.exe path driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe") ...

We can open a link in the new tab of Chrome browser using Selenium webdriver using the methods Keys.chord and sendKeys. The method Keys.chord is used to send multiple keys simultaneously as parameters.To open a new tab, the Keys.CONTROL and Keys.ENTER are passed as parameters to the Keys.chord. Finally, the Keys.chord is passed as a parameter to the sendKeys.Let us click on the Jobs links in a new tab, highlighted in the below image −SyntaxString l = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, Keys.ENTER); driver.findElement(By.xpath ("//a[@title='Job @ Tutorials Point']")).sendKeys(l);Exampleimport org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; import org.openqa.selenium.Keys; public class ElementLocator{    public ...

The methods findElement and findElements are used to identify elements on the webpage. Both these methods can be used with locators like id, css, class, name, xpath, css, link text, tagname and partial link text.The method findElement is used to identify an element which matches with the locator (used with By object) passed as a parameter to that method. If there is no matching element, then NoSuchElementException is thrown.The method findElements is used to identify a list of elements which matches with the locator (used with By object) passed as a parameter to that method. If there is no matching ... Read More

We can find elements using Selenium webdriver with the help of the findElements method. This can be applied to the locators like id, class, name, link text, partial link text, css, xpath and tagname.The findElements method returns a list of elements which match with the locator (with the By object) passed as a parameter to the method. To count the number of elements returned by the list, the method size is used. If there are no matching elements, an empty list is returned.The below image shows the list of methods available with findElements.Exampleimport org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; ...

An IllegalStateException is thrown while working with Chrome browser if the chromedriver.exe file path is set incorrectly in the method System.setProperty. Once this executable file is downloaded, it has to be extracted. Then its path should be copied and added as a parameter to the System.setProperty method.SyntaxSystem.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\DebomitaJava\chromedriver.exe")Also, it must be remembered that, for Windows, we have to specify the .exe extension while including the path. But it is not required for Mac or Ubuntu. We should also ensure that the chromedriver.exe file that we are using is compatible with the local Chrome browser version.Let us see an example for ...

We can find an element using the element tag name with Selenium webdriver with the help of locator tagname. To locate an element with tagname, we have to use the By.tagName method.In the html code, a tagname is usually enclosed by , for example, an anchor tag represents links on the page. An input tag represents text boxes, checkboxes or radio buttons. Let us look at the html code of an element and try to identify it with its tagname −In the above image, the text – You are browsing the best resources for has the h4 tag.SyntaxWebElement e ...
