How to use toString method of org.openqa.selenium.Dimension class

If anyone actually knew a general and always-applicable answer, it would have been implemented everywhere ages ago and would make our lives SO much easier.

There are many things you can do, but every single one of them has a problem:

1. As Ashwin Prabhu said, if you know the script well, you can observe its behaviour and track some of its variables on window or document etc. This solution, however, is not for everyone and can be used only by you and only on a limited set of pages.

2. Your solution by observing the HTML code and whether it has or hasn't been changed for some time is not bad (also, there is a method to get the original and not-edited HTML directly by WebDriver), but:

   • It takes a long time to actually assert a page and could prolong the test significantly.
   • You never know what the right interval is. The script might be downloading something big that takes more than 500 ms. There are several scripts on our company's internal page that take several seconds in IE. Your computer may be temporarily short on resources - say that an antivirus will make your CPU work fully, then 500 ms may be too short even for a noncomplex scripts.
   • Some scripts are never done. They call themselves with some delay (setTimeout()) and work again and again and could possibly change the HTML every time they run. Seriously, every "Web 2.0" page does it. Even Stack Overflow. You could overwrite the most common methods used and consider the scripts that use them as completed, but ... you can't be sure.
   • What if the script does something other than changing the HTML? It could do thousands of things, not just some innerHTML fun.

3. There are tools to help you on this. Namely Progress Listeners together with nsIWebProgressListener and some others. The browser support for this, however, is horrible. Firefox began to try to support it from FF4 onwards (still evolving), IE has basic support in IE9.

And I guess I could come up with another flawed solution soon. The fact is - there's no definite answer on when to say "now the page is complete" because of the everlasting scripts doing their work. Pick the one that serves you best, but beware of its shortcomings.

You can actually use single quotes too:

By.xpath("//*[@id='ext-gen1035']/div/div[3]/i")

Or escape double quotes with a backslash:

By.xpath("//*[@id=\"ext-gen1035\"]/div/div[3]/i")

Try element.getAttribute("value")

The text property is for text within the tags of an element. For input elements, the displayed text is not wrapped by the <input> tag, instead it's inside the value attribute.

Note: Case matters. If you specify "Value", you'll get a 'null' value back. This is true for C# at least.

A good way to run Selenium Java code in Eclipse is to run them as JUnit tests.

1. Create a Maven Project in your Eclipse.
If you haven't done this before, see:

• How to install/integrate Maven with Eclipse
• How to create a simple Maven project

2. Add the following dependencies to your pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    <version>4.7</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>    
<dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
        <version>2.25.0</version>           
</dependency>    
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-firefox-driver</artifactId>
    <version>2.33.0</version>
</dependency> 
<dependency><groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>
    <version>2.25.0</version>    
</dependency>

3. Copy your exported Java file into the Maven Project.

4. Add the following imports to the file:

import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;

5. Run the Java file as a JUnit test, like so:

You can use this:

String PROXY = "localhost:8080";

org.openqa.selenium.Proxy proxy = new org.openqa.selenium.Proxy();
proxy.setHttpProxy(PROXY)
     .setFtpProxy(PROXY)
     .setSslProxy(PROXY);
DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);

WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(cap);

For more detail, refer here

In a word, no. It's not possible using the Selenium WebDriver API. This has been discussed ad nauseam in the issue tracker for the project, and the feature will not be added to the API.

The details aren't clear but it looks like you are trying to print the links in the INDUSTRIES section of the footer. If that's true, this should work.

driver.get("https://dev.www.tycois.com/");
WebElement industries = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.columns.three.alpha > ul"));
List<WebElement> links = industries.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
for (int i = 1; i < links.size(); i++)
{
    System.out.println(links.get(i).getText());
}

You can't click the links in this loop because once you click the first one, you will no longer be on the page. I would suggest that you store the URLs from each link in an array and then driver.get(url) for each one. Or you could store the expected URLs in an array and compare the URLs from the links to the expected URLs and not have to navigate at all. The choice is up to you...

To switch between windows we have method.

driver.switchTo().window("window name") 

To get the different windows handle, we have method.

driver.getWindowHandles()

Example:

    File file = new File("G:\\Selenium\\All_Jars\\chromedriver.exe");
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",file.getAbsolutePath() );
    driver = new ChromeDriver();

    //Maximize the window
    driver.manage().window().maximize();

    driver.get("http://www.rediff.com/");

    //Get all window handles
    Set<String> allHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();

    //count the handles Here count is=2
    System.out.println("Count of windows:"+allHandles.size());      

    //Get current handle or default handle
    String currentWindowHandle = allHandles.iterator().next();
    System.out.println("currentWindow Handle"+currentWindowHandle);

    //Remove first/default Handle
    allHandles.remove(allHandles.iterator().next());

    //get the last Window Handle
    String lastHandle = allHandles.iterator().next();
    System.out.println("last window handle"+lastHandle);

    //switch to second/last window, because we know there are only two windows 1-parent window 2-other window(ad window)
driver.switchTo().window(lastHandle);
    System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
    driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).click();

Your problem is that the library is needed in compilation time, and you only specified to "test" scope.

Try to change this:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
   <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
   <version>6.14.3</version>
   <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

[UPDATED] in the beta version you are using, there is no Test annotation in the package "org.testng.annotations".
