Read MoreWhat are the drawbacks of Selenium WebDriver?
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 ...
Read MoreHow do I find an element that contains specific text in Selenium WebDriver (Python)?
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") ...

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 ...
Read MoreCheck that the element is clickable or not in Selenium WebDriver
We can check if the element is clickable or not in Selenium webdriver using synchronization. In synchronization, there is an explicit wait where the driver waits till an expected condition for an element is met.To verify, if the element can be clicked, we shall use the elementToBeClickable condition. A timeout exception is thrown if the criteria for the element is not satisfied till the driver wait time.SyntaxWebDriverWait wt = new WebDriverWait(driver, 5); wt.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable (By.className("s-buy")));We have to add - import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions and import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait statements to implement ExpectedConditions in our code.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 ...
Read MoreHow to open browser window in incognito/private mode using python selenium webdriver?
We can open a browser window in incognito/private mode with Selenium webdriver in Python using the ChromeOptions class. We have to create an object of the ChromeOptions class.Then apply the method add_argument to that object and pass the parameter -- incognito has a parameter. Finally, this information has to be passed to the webdriver object.Syntaxc = webdriver.ChromeOptions() c.add_argument("--incognito")Examplefrom selenium import webdriver #object of ChromeOptions class c = webdriver.ChromeOptions() #incognito parameter passed c.add_argument("--incognito") #set chromodriver.exe path driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe", options=c) driver.implicitly_wait(0.5) #launch URL driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/tutor_connect/index.php")Output

We can capture the text from the alert message in Selenium webdriverwith the help of the Alert interface. By default, the webdriver object has control over the main page, once an alert pop-up gets generated, we have to shift the webdriver focus from the main page to the alert.This is done with the help of the switchTo().alert() method. Once the driver focus is shifted, we can obtain the text of the pop-up with the help of the method switchTo().alert().getText(). Finally we shall use the accept method to accept the alert and dismiss method to dismiss it.Let us take an example ...
