How to use AddLocationContext class of org.openqa.selenium.remote.html5 package

The behaviour is intended. Here is how it works -

1. You issue driver.get(B). It triggers the browser to open the webpage and then it doesnt have anything to do with the browser, so it doesnt care whether an alert is open or not.
2. When the page loads, pop-up dialog appears, but nothing happens on your code side or Eclipse.
3. When you try to perform another operation, it interacts with browser and sees an unexpected popup dialog.

Now, the problem occurs that modal dialog closes and still exception occurs, so try the following.

1. Enclose your second operation in a try/catch and handle UnhandledAlertException
2. Inside that catch block, perform, driver -> switch to -> alert -> accept
3. After the catch block, perform the second operation again.

Finally, here's the solution to this problem.

I added this line to my build.sbt file :

For SBT 0.x:

unmanagedResourceDirectories in Test <+=  baseDirectory ( _ /"target/web/public/test" )

For SBT 1.x:

unmanagedResourceDirectories in Test +=  baseDirectory ( _ /"target/web/public/test" ).value

Thanks to @MarkVedder and @JarmoPertman for their great comments who put me on this solution!

It doesn't look like you're actually using the regex. It seems like maybe this is what you're trying to do?

Assert.assertTrue(driver.getTitle().matches("*TST-*[0-9]{5}"));

EDIT #1:

It also seems like your regex might not be quite right, try:

Assert.assertTrue(driver.getTitle().matches(".*TST-\\d{5}.*"));

To work with Selenium 3.4.0 & Mozilla Firefox 53.x you need to download the latest geckodriver v0.16.1 from here. Save it in your machine & provide absolute path of the geckodriver in your code.

Ensure that you have updated the pom.xml with the required dependency as follows:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
        <version>3.4.0</version>
</dependency> 

It is recommended to use the WebDriver interface rather than to use the FirefoxDriver implementation.

Your code will look like:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();       
driver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com");

Provide the following commands to flush out the previous dependencies, install the new dependencies & execute your test:

>mvn clean
>mvn install
>mvn test 

1. Good way to test GA is by using javascript. Example shows tests with phantomjs, because it's faster with js stuff, but i think you could use FF or other browsers as well. Also Author added github link with code to try it. The main approach of test is cool, but it may take time to create code for that and support it later.

http://viget.com/extend/testing-google-analytics-with-phantomjs

2. Second way is to use HttpProxy. AFAIK there was tool - BrowserMobProxy. You'll be able to sniff all requests on testing website, but they in HAR format. So the algorithm is simple, enable proxy, open website, do actions, sniff requests, parse them and assert the values.

3. Change endpoint and save all requests to assert them. So usually analytics sends requests to the same url, like 'http://google.com/analytics' or whatever. So, you can change this behavior on testing webserver. F.e. add this url to /etc/hosts with localhost address. And then all requests on webserver which are sent to GA domain will be received by webserver.

That will require extra programming. But it's the cleanest way for testing IMHO.

Can you try Java Script Executor for this

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver
js.executeScript("function createEvent(typeOfEvent) {\n" + "var event =document.createEvent(\"CustomEvent\");\n"
                    + "event.initCustomEvent(typeOfEvent,true, true, null);\n" + "event.dataTransfer = {\n" + "data: {},\n"
                    + "setData: function (key, value) {\n" + "this.data[key] = value;\n" + "},\n"
                    + "getData: function (key) {\n" + "return this.data[key];\n" + "}\n" + "};\n" + "return event;\n"
                    + "}\n" + "\n" + "function dispatchEvent(element, event,transferData) {\n"
                    + "if (transferData !== undefined) {\n" + "event.dataTransfer = transferData;\n" + "}\n"
                    + "if (element.dispatchEvent) {\n" + "element.dispatchEvent(event);\n"
                    + "} else if (element.fireEvent) {\n" + "element.fireEvent(\"on\" + event.type, event);\n" + "}\n"
                    + "}\n" + "\n" + "function simulateHTML5DragAndDrop(element, destination) {\n"
                    + "var dragStartEvent =createEvent('dragstart');\n" + "dispatchEvent(element, dragStartEvent);\n"
                    + "var dropEvent = createEvent('drop');\n"
                    + "dispatchEvent(destination, dropEvent,dragStartEvent.dataTransfer);\n"
                    + "var dragEndEvent = createEvent('dragend');\n"
                    + "dispatchEvent(element, dragEndEvent,dropEvent.dataTransfer);\n" + "}\n" + "\n"
                    + "var source = arguments[0];\n" + "var destination = arguments[1];\n"
                    + "simulateHTML5DragAndDrop(source,destination);", ElementFrom, ElementTo);

It works for me on web application which are angular based.

There are 2 way to do this that will give you meaningful data.

1. Use Browsermob Proxy with Selenium. This is an example in python but its pretty much the same in Java

   from browsermobproxy import Server
   server = Server("path/to/browsermob-proxy")
   server.start()
   proxy = server.create_proxy()
   
   from selenium import webdriver
   profile  = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
   profile.set_proxy(proxy.selenium_proxy())
   driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
   
   proxy.new_har("google")
   driver.get("http://www.google.co.uk")
   proxy.har # returns a HAR JSON blob
   
   proxy.stop()
   driver.quit()
   

The HAR file that is returned from proxy.har, which is just a JSON blob, will give you the information that you need. I blogged about it earlier this year

2. The other approach is to use the navigations timings spec available in modern browsers. All that you need to do is execute some javaScript and you will get details of page load etc.

   ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("var performance = window.performance || {};" + 
               "var timings = performance.timing || {};"+
               "return timings;");
   
   /* The hashmap returned will contain something like the following.
    * The values are in milliseconds since 1/1/1970
    *
    * connectEnd: 1280867925716
    * connectStart: 1280867925687
    * domainLookupEnd: 1280867925687
    * domainLookupStart: 1280867925687
    * fetchStart: 1280867925685
    * legacyNavigationStart: 1280867926028
    * loadEventEnd: 1280867926262
    * loadEventStart: 1280867926155
    * navigationStart: 1280867925685
    * redirectEnd: 0
    * redirectStart: 0
    * requestEnd: 1280867925716
    * requestStart: 1280867925716
    * responseEnd: 1280867925940
    * responseStart: 1280867925919
    * unloadEventEnd: 1280867925940
    */ 
   

May be helpful for others to solve this problem in chrome with the help of chrome extension. Thanks to @SubjectiveReality who gave me this idea.

Sending username and password as part of url like https://username:password@www.mytestsite.com may be helpful if same server performs both authentication and hosts the application. However most corporate applications have firmwide authentications and app server may reroute the request to authentication servers. In such cases, passing credentials in URL wont work.

Here is the solution:

#Step1: Create chrome extension#

1. Create a folder named 'extension'
2. Create a file named 'manifest.json' inside 'extension' folder. Copy below code into the file and save it.

{ "name":"Webrequest API", "version":"1.0", "description":"Extension to handle Authentication window", "permissions":["<all_urls>","webRequest","webRequestBlocking"], "background": { "scripts" : ["webrequest.js"] }, "manifest_version": 2 }

3. Create a file named 'webrequest.js' inside 'extension' folder and copy paste below code into the file and save it.

chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired.addListener(
function handler(details){
 return {'authCredentials': {username: "yourusername", password: "yourpassword"}};
},
{urls:["<all_urls>"]},
['blocking']);

4. Open chrome browser, go to chrome://extensions and turn on developer mode

5. Click 'Pack Extension', select root directory as 'extension' and pack extension. It should create a file with extension '.crx'

#Step2: Add extension into your test automation framework #

1. Copy the .crx file into your framework
2. Configure your webdriver creation to load the extension like

options.addExtensions(new File("path/to/extension.crx"));
options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");

3. Invoke your webdriver and application URL
4. You wont see the authentication popup appearing as its handled by above extension

Happy Testing!

I doubt for Keys.TAB in sendKeys method... if you want to use TAB you need to do something like below:

Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
builder.keyDown(Keys.TAB).perform()
