How to use RelativeLocator.RelativeBy class of org.openqa.selenium.support.locators package

You need to have an instance of WebDriver, e.g.:

@Bean
public WebDriver webDriver() {
    return new FirefoxDriver();
    //OR return new ChromeDriver();
}

in one of your configuration classes. That would be anything annotated with @Configuration or an annotation which includes this; in the most basic Spring Boot application (as used in Spring Boot examples), this would probably be something like this:

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }

    // Your beans go here

}

because @SpringBootApplication is annotated with @SpringBootConfiguration which is annotated with @Configuration.

    psdbComponent.clickDocumentLink();
    ArrayList<String> tabs2 = new ArrayList<String> (driver.getWindowHandles());
    driver.switchTo().window(tabs2.get(1));
    driver.close();
    driver.switchTo().window(tabs2.get(0));

This code perfectly worked for me. Try it out. You always need to switch your driver to new tab, before you want to do something on new tab.

You could try this:

IWebElement dropDownListBox = driver.findElement(By.Id("selection"));
SelectElement clickThis = new SelectElement(dropDownListBox);
clickThis.SelectByText("Germany");

Here's a couple of reasons off the top of my head:

1) You can hook your selenium tests into your build process (and hence your CI process).

2) You can use JUnit assertions.

3) You can build up multiple suites of JUnit tests (which can then be run in parallel).

I'm sure there's more but I guess it depends on the number of tests you have and the size of the project you are working on. If you're project already has a set of JUnit tests then it's quite nice to be able to write selenium tests without too much effort.

How are you defining your threads in your xml file? Found some stuff using the parallel variable to kill all specific threads immediately. Maybe if you name your threads with something common and increment a counter to put a "_1" ... "_2" and so on at the end of the common name, you could loop through quickly and kill the thread directly? You mentioned a queue of tests that you weren't positive on how it worked, maybe take the queue into your own hands manually and kill them all.

This should select the element you want

./ancestor::div[contains(concat(' ', @class, ' '), ' x-grid-view ')][1]

In plain English: Of all the ancestor div elements that have ' x-grid-view ' in their class, select the first (closest) one.

Notes:

• I concat spaces as a defensive measure to prevent partial matches.
• current() is an XSLT function, not an XPath one. It has no meaning outside of XSLT. The current node is expressed as . in XPath.

All links have a unique parameter called tbm: its value is isch for images, so I'd go with

a[href*="tbm=isch"]

If you are using Webdriver then the item you are looking for is Selected.

Often times in the render of the checkbox doesn't actually apply the attribute checked unless specified.

So what you would look for in Selenium Webdriver is this

isChecked = e.findElement(By.tagName("input")).Selected;

As there is no Selected in WebDriver Java API, the above code should be as follows:

isChecked = e.findElement(By.tagName("input")).isSelected();

This error message...

org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException: element click intercepted: Element <label _ngcontent-yrc-c26="" formcontrolname="reportingDealPermission" nz-checkbox="" class="ant-checkbox-wrapper ng-untouched ng-pristine ng-valid" ng-reflect-name="reportingDealPermission">...</label> is not clickable at point (161, 562). Other element would receive the click: <div _ngcontent-yrc-c26="" class="footer">...</div>

...implies that the click on the desired element was intercepted by some other element.

Clicking an element

Ideally, while invoking click() on any element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• cssSelector:

  new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("label[formcontrolname=reportingDealPermission][ng-reflect-name=reportingDealPermission]"))).click();
  

• xpath:

  new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[@formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission' and @ng-reflect-name='reportingDealPermission']"))).click();
  

Update

After changing to headless if it still doesn't works and still get exception there still a couple of other measures to consider as follows:

• Chrome browser in Headless mode doesn't opens in maximized mode. So you have to use either of the following commands/arguments to maximize the headless browser Viewport:

  • Adding the argument start-maximized

    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
    options.addArguments("--headless");
    options.addArguments("start-maximized");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
    

  • Adding the argument --window-size

    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
    options.addArguments("--headless");
    options.addArguments("--window-size=1400,600");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
    

  • Using setSize()

    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
    options.addArguments("--headless");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
    driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1440, 900));
    

You can find a detailed discussion in Not able to maximize Chrome Window in headless mode

• Additionally, you can also wait for the intercept element to be invisible using the ExpectedConditions invisibilityOfElementLocated before attempting the click() as follows:

  • cssSelector:

    new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("div.footer")));
    new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("label[formcontrolname=reportingDealPermission][ng-reflect-name=reportingDealPermission]"))).click();
    

  • xpath:

    new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[@class='footer']")));
    new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[@formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission' and @ng-reflect-name='reportingDealPermission']"))).click();
