1) driver = Driver object
1) driver.get(“URL”);
Opens the specified URL in the Browser Window.
Q) Web Elements and Locators.
1) Note :-
For Handling Browser,Page Driver object (i.e driver) is enough.
For Remaining elements we have to use WebDriver methods
2) Some Manual Operations :-
Launch Browser
Navigate to a specified URL.
Close Focussed Browser.
Close all opened Browsers.
Refresh the browser
Navigate from one URL to another.
Navigate back,forward
Maximize,Minimize the browser etc…
3) Some
Get Page Title ,
Get Page Source(i.e HTML source) , Get Page URL , etc…
4) Some operations on EditBox
Enter some value.
Clear the value.
Check enabled status (i.e whether the
Check the existence.
Get the value. etc….
5) Some operations on Link :-
Click the link
Check enabled status.
Return link name.
6) Some operations on Image
Q) Element Locators in Selenium
In Selenium
Element locator value.
1) Locator :-
It is an address that identifies a web element uniquely within the web page
2) Selenium supports 8 Element Locators to recognize Elements in the WebPage :-
id,name
tagName,className
linkText,partialLinkText
cssSelector
xpath
3) How to inspect elements
Firefox Use Firebug and Firepath plugins.
Google Chrome No need to install any plugin , They have built in developer tools.
4) Element locators are common for all browsers.
Ex1) id
1) Syntax :- By.id(“id_value”);
Q) WebDriver methods (for performing operations on Elements)
1) driver.get(“URL”);
Opens a specified URL in the Browser’s window.
2) String title = driver.getTitle()
Returns title of the browser in the form of a String.
3) String var = driver.getPageSource();
Returns the HTML page source of the provided URL.
Returns in the fom of a String.
4) String var = driver.getCurrentUrl();
Returns the current URL of the browser.
Returns in the form of a String.
Q) Browser Navigation Methods.
1) driver.navigate().to(“URL”);
To navigate to the page with the specified URL.
2) driver.close();
To close the focussed browser.
Q) Illustration
Launch a Browser Open www.learncpp.com
Wait for 10s ……Then close the browser
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException
{
// Starting the Google Chrome Browser
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","G://Selenium Files/Selenium
Drivers/chromedriver.exe");
// Launch Google Chromew Browser with Blank Page
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.learncpp.com/");
String url1 = driver.getCurrentUrl();
System.out.println(url1);
Thread.sleep(10000);
driver.close();// Closes the Browser
}
3) driver.quit();
3) driver.navigate().refresh()
To refresh the Current webpage in the Browser
Q) Illustration
Opens www.learncpp.com
Refreshes that page
Then Closes the browser
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Starting the Google Chrome Browser
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","G://Selenium Files/Selenium
Drivers/chromedriver.exe");
// Launch Google Chromew Browser with Blank Page
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.learncpp.com/");
String url1 = driver.getCurrentUrl();
System.out.println(url1);
driver.navigate().refresh();
driver.close();// Closes the Browser
}
1) driver.findElement(By.ElementLocator(“value”)).sendKeys(“input_data“);
sendKeys() method enters the inpue_data into the Editbox/Textbox
input_data = String.
Find the Editbox/Textbox using Element locators.
Then the code becomes driver.element.sendKeys(“input_data”);
Where element = Textbox / Editbox.
2) driver.findElement(By.ElementLocator(“value”)).clear();
clear() method clears the data in the EditBox/Textbox
Find the Editbox/Textbox using Element locators.
Then the code becomes driver.element.sendKeys(“input_data”);
Where element = Textbox / Editbox.
