We can PID of browsers launched by Selenium webdriver. First of all, we have to create an object of the webdriver. Next, for example, to launch the browser in the Firefox browser, we have to take the help of webdriver.Firefox() class.The location of the geckodriver.exe file is passed as a parameter to that class. This is done by setting the path to executable_path property. Then, the browser shall be launched with the get method.Finally, to obtain the PID of the browser, we shall use the driver.service.process.id method.Syntaxs = driver.service.process.pidExamplefrom selenium import webdriver #path of geckodriver.exe driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="C:\geckodriver.exe") #launch browser ...

We can start chromedriver in headless mode. Headless execution is getting popular now−a−days since the resource consumption is less and execution is done at a faster speed.Post version 59, Chrome supports headless execution. ChromeOptions class is utilized to modify the default characteristics of the browser. The addArguments method of the ChromeOptions class is used for headless execution and headless is passed as a parameter to that method.SyntaxChromeOptions opt = new ChromeOptions(); opt.addArguments("headless"); WebDriver drv = new ChromeDriver(opt);Exampleimport org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; public class HeadlessChrome{    public static void main(String[] args) {       System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",     ...

We can parse a website using Selenium and Beautiful Soup in Python. Web Scraping is a concept used to extract content from the web pages, used extensively in Data Science and metrics preparation. In Python, it is achieved with the BeautifulSoup package.To have BeautifulSoup along with Selenium, we should run the command −pip install bs4 seleniumLet us scrap the below links appearing on the page −Then investigate the html structure of the above elements −Examplefrom selenium import webdriver from bs4 import BeautifulSoup #path of chromedriver.exe driver = webdriver.Chrome (executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe") #launch browser driver.get ("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/about/about_careers.htm") #content whole page in html format s ...

We can get console.log output from Chrome with Selenium Python API bindings. We will perform this with the DesiredCapabilities class. We shall enable the logging from the browser with DesiredCapabilities.Chrome setting.We have to pass this browser capability to the driver object by passing it as a parameter to the Chrome class. To enable logging we shall set the property goog:loggingPrefs of the browser to 'browser':'ALL'.SyntaxSyntax:dc = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME dc['goog:loggingPrefs'] = { 'browser':'ALL' } driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=dc)Examplefrom selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities #set browser log dc = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME dc['goog:loggingPrefs'] = { 'browser':'ALL' } driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe", desired_capabilities=dc) #launch browser driver.get ...

We can take screenshots of the options in dropdown with Selenium Webdriver. A screenshot is generally captured for the failure test cases. This is achieved with the help of ITakesScreenshot interface.We shall take the help of GetScreenshot method to grab the screenshot. Finally, the SaveAsFile method is used where we pass the parameters – the path of the file and format of the image.Syntax((ITakesScreenshot)d). GetScreenshot().SaveAsFile("Screenshot.png", ScreenshotImageFormat.Png);For implementation we shall be using the NUnit framework.Exampleusing NUnit.Framework; using OpenQA.Selenium; using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox; using System; namespace NUnitTestProject1{    public class Tests{       String u ="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/selenium/selenium_automation_practice.htm";       IWebDriver d;     ...

We can connect to an already open browser using Selenium webdriver. This can be done using the Capabilities and ChromeOptions classes. The Capabilities class obtains the browser capabilities with the help of the getCapabilities method.This is generally used for debugging purposes when we have a large number of steps in a test and we do not want to repeat the same steps. First of all we shall launch the browser and enter some text in the below edit box.Exampleimport org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.Capabilities; import org.openqa.selenium.By; import java.util.Map; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; public class ConnectBrwSession{    public static void main(String[] ...
