How to use getExtraCapability method of org.openqa.selenium.chromium.ChromiumOptions class

Yes, that's the default behavior of TestNG and I had introduced it through that pull request to fix the bug https://github.com/cbeust/testng/issues/2022

To set the JVM arguments in intelliJ, choose Run > Edit Configurations, and add this JVM argument in the VM options section after -ea (which would be there by default.

For more information on editing configurations, please refer to the official documentation here

Added screenshot for easy to find in Intellij

Argument value

-ea -Dtestng.dtd.http=true

If the above does not work do at template level, this will fix it, which is

Run--> Edit configuration --> template --> testng

A better way would be to setup chrome to automatically download the file, then wait for a new file to appear and finally rename it.

Here is an example to download a PDF by clicking on a link and then rename it to "mydocument.pdf" :

// define the download folder
Path download_folder = Paths.get(System.getProperty("user.home") + "/Downloads");

// define the preferences
HashMap<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("download.default_directory", download_folder.toAbsolutePath());
prefs.put("download.prompt_for_download", false);
prefs.put("download.directory_upgrade", true);
prefs.put("plugins.plugins_disabled", new String[]{"Chrome PDF Viewer"});

// define the options
HashMap<String, Object> options = new HashMap<String, Object>();
options.put("prefs", prefs);

// define the capabilities
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability("chromeOptions", options);

// start the driver
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

// click on a PDF link
driver.get("http://www.adobe.com/legal/terms.html");
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Adobe Creative SDK")).click();

// wait for the PDF to be downloaded
File file = WaitForNewFile(download_folder, ".pdf", 60);

// rename the downloaded file
file.renameTo(download_folder.resolve("mydocument.pdf").toFile());

// quit
driver.quit();

And for the file waiter :

/**
 * Waits for a new file to be downloaded with a file watcher
 */
public static File WaitForNewFile(Path folder, String extension, int timeout_sec) throws InterruptedException, IOException {
    long end_time = System.currentTimeMillis() + timeout_sec * 1000;
    try (WatchService watcher = FileSystems.getDefault().newWatchService()) {
        folder.register(watcher, StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_MODIFY);
        for (WatchKey key; null != (key = watcher.poll(end_time - System.currentTimeMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)); key.reset()) {
            for (WatchEvent<?> event : key.pollEvents()) {
                File file = folder.resolve(((WatchEvent<Path>)event).context()).toFile();
                if (file.toString().toLowerCase().endsWith(extension.toLowerCase()))
                    return file;
            }
        }
    }
    return null;
}

The main issue with the Web Application is that the HTML DOM attains document.readyState equals to complete even before the sub-menu element with text as Selenium WebDriver gets rendered. Hence you see the error as:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.interactions.MoveTargetOutOfBoundsException: (-4899, 91) is out of bounds of viewport width (1366) and height (664)

Solution

So an ideal solution would be:

• Induce WebDriverwait for the titleIs() Execute Automation
• Induce WebDriverwait for the menu element with text as Automation Tools
• Induce WebDriverwait for the sub-menu element with text as Selenium
• Induce WebDriverwait for the sub-menu elementToBeClickable with text as Selenium
• You can use the following solution:

• Code Block:

      import org.openqa.selenium.By;
      import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
      import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
      import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;
      import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
      import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
  
      public class MouseHoverFirefox {
  
          public static void main(String[] args) {
  
              System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
              WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
              driver.get("http://www.executeautomation.com/demosite/index.html");
              new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.titleIs("Execute Automation"));
              new Actions(driver).moveToElement(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//span[@id='Automation Tools']")))).build().perform();
              new Actions(driver).moveToElement(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//li[@class='active has-sub']/a/span//following::ul[1]/li[@class='has-sub']/a/span[@id='Selenium']")))).build().perform();
              new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//li[@class='active has-sub']/a/span//following::ul[1]/li/a/span[@id='Selenium']//following::ul[1]/li/a/span[text()='Selenium WebDriver']"))).click();
          }
      }
  

• Browser Snapshot:

There is a huge difference in terms of how do these tools work. Selenium uses the WebDriver API and sends commands to a browser to perform actions (through the "JSON wire protocol").

Java AWT Robot uses native system events to control the mouse and keyboard.

If you are doing browser automation, ideally, you don't ever use things like Robot since usually the functionality provided by selenium is more than enough. Though, there are cases when there is a browser or native OS popup opened, for example, to upload/download a file - this is something that can be also solved with Robot - though usually there are selenium-specific solutions/workarounds that can help avoiding using Robot. The key idea of these workarounds is "since we cannot control the popups, just don't let them to be opened".

For example, when you download a file in Firefox, you are getting a file browser popup suggesting you to choose a location and filename. This is something you cannot manipulate with using selenium. But, what you can do , is let Firefox know which file types and where do you want to save downloads automatically, without showing the popup. See Access to file download dialog in Firefox.

There is a minor bug in your code block. When you are using TestNG and writing methods within @Test annotation, we should define the methods with proper return types. I have used your own code and simply added the return type as void as follows:

import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class Q45191867_Assert_Pass_Suite 
{

    @Test   
    public void TC002_CheckAssert() 
    {
        System.out.println("ajkcbh");
        try
        {
            Assert.assertEquals("Pass", "Pass");
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println("Exception:"+e.getLocalizedMessage());
        }
    }
}

The code block executes successfully when executed as TestNG Test.

I have executed the code block converting into TestNG with the following testng.xml as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="Suite">
  <test name="Test">
    <classes>
      <class name="demo.Q45191867_Assert_Pass_Suite"/>
    </classes>
  </test> <!-- Test -->
</suite> <!-- Suite -->

I have executed this code block again as TestNG Suite. In this case as well the output on the console was:

[TestNG] Running:
  C:\Users\AtechM_03\LearnAutmation\LearnAutomationTestNG\testng.xml

ajkcbh

This xpath should find it

WebElement temp = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//img[@src='web/L001/images/IMAGENAME.jpg']"));

or use contains like so

WebElement temp = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//img[contains(@src,'web/L001/images/IMAGENAME.jpg')]"));

But i think the problem would be is that you are not waiting for the element.

After some hours I finally found a solution by using Actions without JavascriptExecuter:

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(website);
actions.click();
actions.sendKeys("Some Name");
actions.build().perform();

Well, it worked for me. However, is this way the better solution ?

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.

You are using javascript that scrolls the main window, if you want to scroll a element, you should first get the element by id, then change the its scrollLeft property:

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver; 
js.executeScript(
    "document.getElementById('gvLocationHorizontalRail').scrollLeft += 250", "");

If you instead want to change the scrollbar that moves up and down, you should change the scrollTop property.
