How to use SafariTechPreviewDriverService.Builder class of org.openqa.selenium.safari package

    String base = driver.getWindowHandle();

    Set <String> set = driver.getWindowHandles();

    set.remove(base);
    assert set.size()==1;

    driver.switchTo().window(set.toArray(new String[0]));

    driver.close();
    driver.switchTo().window(base);

This works for me...

The element is blinking because of a feature of the IE driver called "persistent hovers." This feature is of dubious value, but is required because of the brain-dead way IE (the browser, not the driver) responds to WM_MOUSEMOVE messages when using the SendMessage API.

You have a few options. You can turn persistent hovers off by using code like the following:

InternetExplorerOptions options = new InternetExplorerOptions();
options.EnablePersistentHover = false;
IWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(options);

Be aware, though that this will subject you to the whims of where the physical mouse cursor is on the screen when you attempt to hover. If that's not acceptable, you have a couple of other approaches you could take. First, you could turn off so-called "native events," which would cause the driver to rely solely on synthesized JavaScript events. This approach has its own pitfalls, due to relying only on JavaScript to synthesize the mouse events.

InternetExplorerOptions options = new InternetExplorerOptions();
options.EnableNativeEvents = false;
IWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(options);

Finally, you could migrate from using the default SendMessage Windows API to code that uses the more correct SendInput API. This is done with the RequireWindowFocus property. Its drawback is that the mouse input is injected at a very low level in the system, which requires the IE window to be the foreground window on the system.

InternetExplorerOptions options = new InternetExplorerOptions();
options.RequireWindowFocus = true;
IWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(options);

As a final note, do not attempt to set all of these properties at once; pick an approach and stick with it. Several of them are mutually exclusive, and the interaction between them is undefined.

I don't think barak manos's answer has fully explained it.

Imagine we have few elements as the followings:

1. <div class="value test"></div>
2. <div class="value test "></div>
3. <div class="first value test last"></div>
4. <div class="test value"></div>

How XPath matches

• Match only 1 (exact match), barak's answer

  driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='value test']"));
  

• Match 1, 2 and 3 (match class contains value test, class order matters)

  driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(@class, 'value test')]"));
  

• Match 1, 2, 3 and 4 (as long as elements have class value and test)

  driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(@class, 'value') and contains(@class, 'test')]"));
  

Also, in cases like this, Css Selector is always in favor of XPath (fast, concise, native).

• Match 1

  driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[class='value test']"));
  

• Match 1, 2 and 3

  driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[class*='value test']"));
  

• Match 1, 2, 3 and 4

  driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.value.test"));
  

From a WebElement you can use the getAttribute method like this:

element.getAttribute("class")

Please Find the below code, you can scroll and take screenshots as many as you want. Note the elements Webelement. Store them and scroll relatively. You can Scroll depending upon how many screenshots you want.

driver.get("http://www.bbc.com");       
driver.manage().window().maximize();
System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("D:/chromedriver/scr3.png"));  
WebElement elements = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='page']/section[6]/div/div/div[1]/ul/li[3]/div/div[2]/h3/a"));    
Thread.sleep(3000L);
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
int yPosition = elements.getLocation().getY();
js.executeScript("window.scroll (0, " + yPosition + ") ");       
Thread.sleep(3000L);         
File scrFile1 = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile1, new File("D:/chromedriver/scr4.png"));
driver.close();

There is a very good plugin that can be used with selenium project shadow-automation-selenium. It helps in writing much better, readable and maintainable code. Using this you can access multi level of shadow DOM (upto 4 levels ) . This uses simple css selector to identify elements.

WebElement findElement(String cssSelector) : use this method if want single element from DOM

List<WebElement> findElements(String cssSelector) : use this if you want to find all elements from DOM

WebElement findElements(WebElement parent, String cssSelector) : use this if you want to find a single elements from parent object DOM

List<WebElement> findElements(WebElement parent, String cssSelector) : use this if you want to find all elements from parent object DOM

WebElement getShadowElement(WebElement parent,String selector) : use this if you want to find a single element from parent DOM

List<WebElement> getAllShadowElement(WebElement parent,String selector) : use this if you want to find all elements from parent DOM

boolean isVisible(WebElement element) : use this if you want to find visibility of element

boolean isChecked(WebElement element) : use this if you want to check if checkbox is selected

boolean isDisabled(WebElement element) : use this if you want to check if element is disabled

String getAttribute(WebElement element,String attribute) : use this if you want to get attribute like aria-selected and other custom attributes of elements.

void selectCheckbox(String label) : use this to select checkbox element using label.

void selectCheckbox(WebElement parentElement, String label) : use this to select checkbox element using label.

void selectRadio(String label) : use this to select radio element using label.

void selectRadio(WebElement parentElement, String label) : use this to select radio element from parent DOM using label.

void selectDropdown(String label) : use this to select dropdown list item using label (use this if only one dropdown is present or loaded on UI).

void selectDropdown(WebElement parentElement, String label) : use this to select dropdown list item from parent DOM using label.

How to use this plugin: You will have to dependency in your project.

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.github.sukgu</groupId>
  <artifactId>automation</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.4</version>
<dependency>

for html tag that resides under a shadow-root dom element

<properties-page id="settingsPage"> 
  <textarea id="textarea">
</properties-page>

You can use this code in your framework to grab the textarea element Object.

  import io.github.sukgu.*;
  Shadow shadow = new Shadow(driver);
  WebElement element = shadow.findElement("properties-page#settingsPage>textarea#textarea");
  String text = element.getText();

I also faced the same issue in IntelliJ idea, When I check in the imported libraries it was like below screenshot.

So I remove scope tag from my import in pom file.Then it worked.

Earlier

<dependency>
    <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.5</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Fix

<dependency>
    <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.5</version>
</dependency>

Now it is working fine

The reason for this problem is guava library.

This problem got solved by adding the guava library in maven pom.xml

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
        <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
        <version>31.0.1-jre</version>
    </dependency>

One of my friend was also facing this issue and adding this library took care of it as that method ImmutableMap comes from guava

Pasting the error message as well so people will land here as many will have same problem

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap.of(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)Lcom/google/common/collect/ImmutableMap;
