How to use hashCode method of org.openqa.selenium.Point class

WebElement select = driver.findElement(By.name("myselect"));
Select dropDown = new Select(select);           
String selected = dropDown.getFirstSelectedOption().getText();
if(selected.equals(valueToSelect)){
    //already selected; 
    //do stuff
}
List<WebElement> Options = dropDown.getOptions();
for(WebElement option:Options){
    if(option.getText().equals(valueToSelect)) {
      option.click(); //select option here;       
    }               
}

If this is slower, then consider something like

dropDown.selectByValue(value);
or

dropDown.selectByVisibleText(text);

Just check for a single dialog-confirm class:

driver.findElement(By.className("dialog-confirm")).click();

Or, use a CSS Selector:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button.dialog-confirm")).click()

I had the same question and here is what I found somewhere on the Internet (maybe on stackoverflow, I cannot remember). I just added a line to delete the file so that by calling this method at the beginning of my test, I'm making sure the file does not exist anymore when trying to download it again.

  public boolean isFileDownloaded(String downloadPath, String fileName) {
  File dir = new File(downloadPath);
  File[] dirContents = dir.listFiles();

  for (int i = 0; i < dirContents.length; i++) {
      if (dirContents[i].getName().equals(fileName)) {
          // File has been found, it can now be deleted:
          dirContents[i].delete();
          return true;
      }
          }
      return false;
  }

You just have to call with this single line: isFileDownloaded("C:\Path\To\Your\Folder", "yourPdfFile.abc");

Hope this helps!

Yes, you can include the link to your screenshot in testng report.

You need to call org.testng.Reporter.log method to write the hyperlink to the testng report either by annotating your test class or parent of all testclasses with @Listeners({yourListener.class}) or by adding the listener to your testng.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="default">
  <listeners>
    <listener class-name="ScreenshotListener" />
  </listeners>
  <test name="Test">
    <packages>
      <package name="someTests.*"/>
    </packages>
  </test>
</suite>

You need to first create a Listener class and add it to testng. You can get details for that from testng.org. Search for listener.

Once you create that class, you should write a method in it which overrides the ontestfailure method. The code inside this method will be executed whenever testng identifies a failure.

You can call your screenshot grabbing method and use Reporter.log to put the hyperlink to that screenshot. Then you can find this link under the failed testcases details.

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;

import org.openqa.selenium.*;

import org.testng.*;

public class ScreenshotListener extends TestListenerAdapter {
    @Override
    public void onTestFailure(ITestResult result) {
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        SimpleDateFormat formater = new SimpleDateFormat("dd_MM_yyyy_hh_mm_ss");
        String methodName = result.getName();
        if(!result.isSuccess()){
            File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)SomeStaticWebDriver.driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
            try {
                String reportDirectory = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir")).getAbsolutePath() + "/target/surefire-reports";
                File destFile = new File((String) reportDirectory+"/failure_screenshots/"+methodName+"_"+formater.format(calendar.getTime())+".png");
                FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, destFile);
                Reporter.log("<a href='"+ destFile.getAbsolutePath() + "'> <img src='"+ destFile.getAbsolutePath() + "' height='100' width='100'/> </a>");
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

As long as I know that the java command

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

will run the installed Firefox browser on your computer.

but reading the JavaDoc at I realised that there can be way how to override it:

FirefoxBinary binary = new FirefoxBinary(new File("path/to/binary"));
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(binary, profile);

See if this answer helps:

Overall, the thread raises a similar concern as yours. You are trying to handle this as an alert, see if you can handle this as a js confirmation dialog.

DesiredCapabilities would help you to change user agent.

You can achieve this by calling these methods:

• setBrowserName(java.lang.String browserName)
• setPlatform(Platform platform)
• setVersion(java.lang.String version)

Or

• static DesiredCapabilities chrome()
• static DesiredCapabilities firefox()
• static DesiredCapabilities iphone()
• ...

Selenium WebDriver is made up of core Java API and it is also known as Selenium 2

Ghost Driver is a pure JavaScript implementation of the WebDriver Wire Protocol for PhantomJS. It's a Remote WebDriver that uses PhantomJS as back-end.

WebDriver Implementation for PhantomJs is GhostDriver

The Selenium2 driver actually loads and runs an active browser session, manipulating the browser just as a human would. ZombieJS is a 'headless' browser that provides all of the features of a regular browser, but without a display interface. Without the extra time spent waiting for the display to actually render, a headless browser like ZombieJS can run far faster than a normal browser, so you're tests will execute in as little as half the time. But ZombieJS requires installing Node.js and can be a little buggy, plus it has its own API (which has both pros and cons). The Selenium2 driver is well tested and implements a standard API -- the WebDriver Wire Protocol -- across all of the browsers it has drivers for.

Now there's a headless browser that includes a WebDriver Wire Protocol implementation -- PhantomJS. The latest version of PhantomJS is an easy to install, stand-alone binary that doesn't require installing Node.js or any other dependencies, and ships with its own 'Ghost Driver' for implementing the WebDriver Wire Protocol. Which means you can drive it using the Selenium2 driver in Codeception, and anything that you can test in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or IE using Selenium2, you can now test in half the time using PhantomJS

Even though it's not needed to run the most recent PhantomJS, it's a good idea to have Selenium2 installed so you can test in other browsers.
