Selenium webdriver is capable of handling SSL certificate in the Safari browser. This is done with the help of the DesiredCapabilities class. We shall create an object of this class. Then apply the setCapability method on it and set the value of property CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS to true.The SSL is a protocol developed to have a secure connection between the server and the client browser. It verifies the website authenticity before any further communication with it.SyntaxDesiredCapabilities pc = DesiredCapabilities.safari(); pc.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);Exampleimport org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.safari.SafariDriver; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities; public class SSLErrorSafari{    public static void main(String[] args) { ...

We can select a date from a datepicker with Selenium webdriver using Python. To identify a particular date, first we have to use the find_elements method and identify all the dates having a common locator value.The find_elements returns a list of matching elements. We have to iterate through this list and search for the date which meets our criteria. Once we get that date, we would select it. Then break out from this iteration.Examplefrom selenium import webdriver #set chromodriver.exe path driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe") driver.implicitly_wait(0.5) #launch URL driver.get("https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/") #switch to frame l = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//iframe[@class='demo-frame']") driver.switch_to.frame(l); #identify element inside frame d= driver.find_element_by_id("datepicker") ...

We can register a gecko driver with Selenium webdriver. For the Firefox versions greater than 47, we can execute tests in Firefox with the geckodriver.exe file. To download this executable file, visit the below link − https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releasesNext, we have to choose the link of the zip file which is compatible with our local operating system. As the download of the zip file is done, it has to be extracted and the file – geckodriver.exe should be saved in a location.To register this geckodriver.exe file, we have to set the path of the geckodriver.exe file with the System.setProperty method.

We can select each div separately that have the same class with the help of the Selenium webdriver. Often in the html code, we find more than one div element having a class attribute with the same value.Let us see the html code of elements with div tag having the same value set for the class attribute (as highlighted in the image). The value of the class attribute is - colsm-5 col-xs-8 store-details sp-detail paddingR0.To identify each of these div elements separately, we shall use the method findElements and pass the value of the class attribute as a parameter to ...

Then obtain its text with the text method. Let us investigate the html code of a webelement with a span tag.Examplefrom selenium import webdriver #set chromodriver.exe path driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe") driver.implicitly_wait(0.5) #launch URL driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm") #identify element and enter text e = driver.find_element_by_class_name("search") e.send_keys("tutorialspoint@gmail.com") ...
