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

Best Selenium code snippet using org.openqa.selenium.InvalidArgumentException

InvalidArgumentException org.openqa.selenium.InvalidArgumentException

The WebDriver error - invalid argument error, arises when invalid arguments are passed to a command.

The InvalidArgument error is somewhat similar to a TypeError in JavaScript, as both errors can occur for various APIs when the input value is not of the expected type, or is distorted in some way. Look at the type and bounds constraints for every WebDriver command.

Example

For instance, we cannot set the window size to a negative value:

copy
1 2from selenium import webdriver 3 4from selenium.common import exceptions 5 6session = webdriver.Firefox() 7 8try: 9 10session.set_window_size(-100, 0) 11 12except exceptions.InvalidArgumentException as e: 13 14print(e.message) 15

Output:

InvalidArgumentException: Expected -100 to be >= 0

Solutions

  • Check for input values
  • Upgrade the selenium driver versions to avoid compatibility issues with commands

You can do it by adding Chrome's command line switches "--lang".

Basically, all you need is starting ChromeDriver with an ChromeOption argument --lang=es, see API for details.

The following is a working example of C# code for how to start Chrome in Spanish using Selenium.

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--lang=es");
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

Java code should be pretty much the same (untested). Remember, locale here is in the form language[-country] where language is the 2 letter code from ISO-639.

public WebDriver getDriver(String locale){   
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "driver/chromedriver.exe");
    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
    options.addArguments("--lang=" + locale);
    return new ChromeDriver(options);
}

public void initializeSelenium() throws Exception{
    driver = getDriver("es"); // two letters to represent the locale, or two letters + country
}

Test Verification vs Validation in Website Testing

Verification and Validation, both are important testing activities that collectively define all the mandatory testing activities a tester along with the entire team needs to perform when you are developing a website for either your organization or for the client. For testers, especially those who are new in the industry, understanding the difference between test verification vs validation in website testing may seem to be a bit complex. Because both involve checking whether the website is being developed in the right manner. This is also why I have observed a lot of ambiguity among the teams working on a project.

Selenium 4 Tutorial:

LambdaTest’s Selenium 4 tutorial is covering every aspects of Selenium 4 testing with examples and best practices. Here you will learn basics, such as how to upgrade from Selenium 3 to Selenium 4, to some advanced concepts, such as Relative locators and Selenium Grid 4 for Distributed testing. Also will learn new features of Selenium 4, such as capturing screenshots of specific elements, opening a new tab or window on the browser, and new protocol adoptions.

Chapters:

  1. Upgrading From Selenium 3 To Selenium 4?: In this chapter, learn in detail how to update Selenium 3 to Selenium 4 for Java binding. Also, learn how to upgrade while using different build tools such as Maven or Gradle and get comprehensive guidance for upgrading Selenium.

  2. What’s New In Selenium 4 & What’s Being Deprecated? : Get all information about new implementations in Selenium 4, such as W3S protocol adaption, Optimized Selenium Grid, and Enhanced Selenium IDE. Also, learn what is deprecated for Selenium 4, such as DesiredCapabilites and FindsBy methods, etc.
