How to use getBuildInformation method of org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException class

Try this - WebElement currentElement = driver.switchTo().activeElement();

Refer to this for more details - https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/WebDriver.TargetLocator.html#activeElement--

You are probably picking up JUnit3 on your classpath somewhere, which effectively disables JUnit4.

Run mvn dependency:tree to find out where it's coming in from and add exclude if from the dependency.

While it's not an answer I wanted to point out some information that may help to solve/understand problem better.

Extract taken from one of the answers on this question:

Selenium Webdriver is detectable

User under a nick JimEvans has written:

"The W3C draft spec states in Appendix E that drivers should provide a mechanism for fingerprinting that a browser is being driven by WebDriver. At the moment, no implementations comply with this section of the spec. The Firefox driver currently comes closest, adding an attribute to the html tag. Future versions and drivers of other browsers will likely implement methods of detection in line with the specification."

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!

Your questions:

Q 1.) I would like to know why it returns all the texts that following the div?
It should not and I think in will not. It returns all div with 'id' attribute value equal 'containter' (and all children of this). But you are printing the results with ele.getText() Where getText will return all text content of all children of your result.

Get the visible (i.e. not hidden by CSS) innerText of this element, including sub-elements, without any leading or trailing whitespace.
Returns:
The innerText of this element.

Q 2.) how should I modify the code so it just return first or first few nodes that follow the parent note
This is not really clear what you are looking for. Example:

<p1> <div/> </p1 <p2/> 

The following to parent of the div is p2. This would be:

 //div[@id='container'][1]/parent::*/following-sibling::* 

or shorter

 //div[@id='container'][1]/../following-sibling::* 

If you are only looking for the first one extent the expression with an "predicate" (e.g [1] - for the first one. or [position() < 4]for the first three)

If your are looking for the first child of the first div:

//div[@id='container'][1]/*[1]

If there is only one div with id an you are looking for the first child:

   //div[@id='container']/*[1]

and so on.

You can easily accomplish this task with CSS.

The formula is:

element[attribute='attribute-value']

So if you have,

<a href="mysite.com"></a>

You can find it using:

By.cssSelector("a[href='mysite.com']");

this works using any attribute possible.

This page here gives good information on how to formulate effective css selectors, and matching their attributes: http://ddavison.io/css/2014/02/18/effective-css-selectors.html

Check the type property if the input, if it's text the text is not masked, if it's password it is masked.

    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.

This error message...

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'java.util.stream.Collector com.google.common.collect.ImmutableList.toImmutableList()'

...implies that there is some incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using.

The Selenium project with Junit in which you see this error have mismatched versions of guava installed.

Solution

You need to configure compatible version of guava as per the list below:

• Selenium v2.49.0 : Bump guava to version 19
• Selenium v3.1.0 : Requires an update to the latest guava version 21.0
• Selenium v3.5.0 : Bump guava to version 22.
• Selenium v3.5.1 : Bump guava to version 23.
• Selenium v3.12.0 : guava-23.6-jre
• Selenium v3.13.0 : guava-25.0-jre
• Selenium v3.14.0 : guava-25.0-jre
• Selenium v3.141.0 : guava-25.0-jre
• Selenium v3.141.5 : guava-25.0-jre
• Selenium v3.141.59 : guava-25.0-jre
