We can find an element by partial is with Selenium in C#. This can be done as we identify elements with the locator's CSS and xpath. The regular expression is used to find the partially matched element.Let us investigate the id attribute of an element having value as gsc−i−id1.In xpath, we utilize the contains() function for partial matching. So, here xpath expression shall be //*[contains(@id, 'id')]. This is because the subtext id is within the text gsc−i−id1. We can also take the help of the starts−with() function. So, the xpath expression becomes //*[starts−with(@id, 'gsc')] as the text gsc−i−id1 starts with ... Read More

We can get all options in a drop−down list by Selenium Webdriver in C#. The static drop−down in an html code is identified with a select tag. All the options for a drop−down have the option tag.To obtain all the options in the form of a list, we shall first identify that element with the help of any of the locators like id, xpath, name, and so on. Then we must create an object of the SelectElement class and apply Options method on it.Let us investigate the html code of drop−down.For implementation we shall be using the NUnit framework.Exampleusing NUnit.Framework; ...

We can check if element exists with Selenium webdriver in C#. This can be determined with the help of the FindElements method. It returns a list of elements which matches the locator passed as a parameter to that method.If there are no matching elements, an empty list is obtained. In case we have used the method FindElement instead of FindElements, NoSuchElementException will be thrown if there are no matching elements.For implementation we shall be using the NUnit framework.Exampleusing NUnit.Framework; using OpenQA.Selenium; using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome; using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; namespace NUnitTestProject1{    public class Tests{       String u ...

We can use Selenium in C#. We should have Visual Studio 2019 installed in the system along with Selenium webdriver and any browser like Firefox, Chrome, and so on. Then we must utilize the NUnit framework.Launch Visual Studio 2019 and then click on Create a new project.Type NUnit in the search box appearing in Create a new project pop−up. Select NUnit Test Project(.NET Core) from the search results.Enter Project name and Location. Then click on Create to proceed.As the project is set up on NUnit(.Net Core), the Setup and Test methods shall be given by default.We should navigate to the ... Read More

We can scroll to an element with Selenium webdriver in C#. This is done with the help of JavaScript Executor. Selenium can run JavaScript commands with the help of ExecuteScript method.The method scrollIntoView in JavaScript is used to perform the scrolling action and the value true is passed as a parameter to the method. This is then passed to the ExecuteScript method.Syntaxvar e = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[text()='Careers']")); ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver) .ExecuteScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", e);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/index.htm";       IWebDriver ...

We can run Selenium tests in multiple browsers one after another from C# NUnit. This is done with the help of the Test Fixture concept. This is an attribute that identifies a class, step up and tear down methods.There are some rules to be followed for a class to have a fixture −It should not be of type abstract.There should be a default constructor for a non−parameterized fixture.The parameterized fixture should have a constructor.It can be publicly exported.Exampleusing NUnit.Framework; using OpenQA.Selenium using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome; using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox; using System; namespace NUnitTestProject1{    //Test Fixture declaration    [TestFixture(typeof(FirefoxDriver))]    [TestFixture(typeof(ChromeDriver))]    public class ...

We can enable cookie with Selenium Webdriver in C#. A cookie is the data stored by the browser. A key−value pair is used to store the information in cookies to hold the relevant information.To add a cookie, the method AddCookie is used. The key and value of the cookie are passed as parameters to the method. Also, to obtain the cookie information, GetCookieNamed method is used.Syntaxdriver.Manage().Cookies.AddCookie(new Cookie("Automation", "QA")); driver.Manage().Cookies.GetCookieNamed("Automation");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/index.htm";       ...

We can perform web scraping with Selenium webdriver and BeautifulSoup. Web Scraping is used to extract content from a page. In Python, it is achieved with the BeautifulSoup package.Let us scrap and get the below links on a page −Let us also see the html structure of the above links −Let us see how to do web scraping with BeautifulSoupTo install the required package for Beautifulsoup, we should run the below commands −pip install bs4 pip install requestsExamplefrom bs4 import BeautifulSoup import requests #get all response d=requests.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/about/about_careers.htm") #response content whole page in html format s = BeautifulSoup(d.content, 'html.parser') #access to ...

We can wait for an Ajax call to complete with Selenium webdriver. The determination of the load time of the page due to an Ajax response is a difficult task. This can be achieved with the help of synchronization concepts and wait methods in Selenium. Some of them are listed below −Implicit wait − It allows the web driver to wait for the time specified after which exception is thrown. This wait is applicable to all steps in the test.Syntaxdriver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);ExampleCode Implementation with implicit wait.import 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; public class AjaxImplWt{    public static ...

We can download a file at a specified location through Python and Selenium using the chromedriver. We shall use the ChromeOptions class for this purpose. First, we shall create an object of the ChromeOptions class.Then apply the add_experimental_option method on the object created. We shall pass browser preferences and download.default_directory: as parameters to that method. Finally, this information shall be passed to the driver object.Syntaxop = webdriver.ChromeOptions() p = {'download.default_directory':'C:\Users\ghs6kor\Downloads\Test'} op.add_experimental_option('prefs', p)Examplefrom selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options #object of ChromeOptions class op = webdriver.ChromeOptions() #browser preferences p = {'download.default_directory':'C:\Users\ghs6kor\Downloads\Test'} #add options to browser op.add_experimental_option('prefs', p) #set chromedriver.exe path ...
