How to use ImeNotAvailableException class of org.openqa.selenium package

ImeNotAvailableException org.openqa.selenium.ImeNotAvailableException;

IME (Input Method Engine), Selenium needs it to support Japanese/Chinese or multi-byte characters that needs to write by selenium in a web form. when selenium is not able to find the desired IME engine on the machine then it throws ImeNotAvailableException

Example

The code example from this source file I18NTest.java, which tries to input Japanese characters.

1  public void testShouldBeAbleToActivateIMEEngine() throws InterruptedException {
2    TestUtilities.getEffectivePlatform().is(Platform.LINUX));
3    driver.get(pages.formPage);
4    WebElement input = driver.findElement(By.id("working"));
5    // Activate IME. By default, this keycode activates IBus input for Japanese.
6    WebDriver.ImeHandler ime = driver.manage().ime();
7
8    List<String> engines = ime.getAvailableEngines();
9    String desiredEngine = "anthy";
10
11    if (!engines.contains(desiredEngine)) {
12      System.out.println("Desired engine " + desiredEngine + " not available, skipping test.");
13      return;
14    }
15
16    ime.activateEngine(desiredEngine);
17
18    int totalWaits = 0;
19    while (!ime.isActivated() && (totalWaits < 10)) {
20      Thread.sleep(500);
21      totalWaits++;
22    }
23    assertTrue("IME Engine should be activated.", ime.isActivated());
24    assertEquals(desiredEngine, ime.getActiveEngine());
25
26    // Send the Romaji for "Tokyo". The space at the end instructs the IME to convert the word.
27    input.sendKeys("toukyou ");
28    input.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
29
30    String elementValue = input.getAttribute("value");
31
32    ime.deactivate();
33    assertFalse("IME engine should be off.", ime.isActivated());
34
35    // IME is not present. Don't fail because of that. But it should have the Romaji value
36    // instead.
37    assertTrue("The elemnt's value should either remain in Romaji or be converted properly."
38        + " It was:" + elementValue, elementValue.equals(tokyo));
39  }

Solutions

• Check for available ime engines available on machine ime.getAvailableEngines();
