How to use getConfigurableRoles method of org.openqa.selenium.cli.Interface CliCommand class

The WebElementWait class as metioned above:

package org.openqa.selenium.support.ui;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.NotFoundException;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

public class WebElementWait  extends FluentWait<WebElement>  {
    public final static long DEFAULT_SLEEP_TIMEOUT = 500;

      public WebElementWait(WebElement element, long timeOutInSeconds) {
            this(element, new SystemClock(), Sleeper.SYSTEM_SLEEPER, timeOutInSeconds, DEFAULT_SLEEP_TIMEOUT);
      }

      public WebElementWait(WebElement element, long timeOutInSeconds, long sleepInMillis) {
            this(element, new SystemClock(), Sleeper.SYSTEM_SLEEPER, timeOutInSeconds, sleepInMillis);
      }

      protected WebElementWait(WebElement element, Clock clock, Sleeper sleeper, long timeOutInSeconds,
              long sleepTimeOut) {
            super(element, clock, sleeper);
            withTimeout(timeOutInSeconds, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
            pollingEvery(sleepTimeOut, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
            ignoring(NotFoundException.class);
      }

}

It's the same as WebDriverWait, except that the WebDriver argument is replaced with WebElement.

Then, the isValid method:

//import com.google.common.base.Function;
    //import org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException;

public boolean isValid(WebElement e) {
    try {
        WebElementWait wait = new WebElementWait(e, 1);
        //@SuppressWarnings("unused")
        //WebElement icon = 
        wait.until(new Function<WebElement, WebElement>() {
                    public WebElement apply(WebElement d) {
                        return d.findElement(By
                                .xpath("./following-sibling::div[class='invalid-icon']"));
                    }
                });
        return false;
    } catch (TimeoutException exception) {
        return true;
    }
}

isElementPresent() - This method basically tests if the element we are looking for is present somewhere on the page.

isVisible() - looks for display: none style tag - this might throw a null pointer if we aren't careful...thus to see if an element is visible first check if the element is present using isElementPresent() method. Then try checking if the element is visible!

Observe that isElementPresent() won't mind even if our element is not visible.

For ex: lets say the below is the html code for a component on my test application:

now if you test the above component with

selenium.isElementPresent("testinput") - returns true!
selenium.isVisible("testinput") - returns false!

This question is answered here

"WebDriver is not thread-safe. Having said that, if you can serialize access to the underlying driver instance, you can share a reference in more than one thread. This is not advisable. You /can/ on the other hand instantiate one WebDriver instance for each thread. "

To my knowledge you can only disable that behaviour globally. There is a preference called dom.disable_beforeunload. You should change its value to true. With Selenium, you can create a new customized Firefox profile:

FirefoxProfile customProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
customProfile.setPreference("dom.disable_beforeunload", true);
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(customProfile);

Instead of class name you can use a css selector. You don't mention the tagname for the class 'current time'. I am assuming it to be input, so your css selector work be,

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[class='current time']"));
element.click();

Edit#1 Based on html provided,

Looking at the html in your comment, it seems you have quite a few options to find the webElement. Here are your options,

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[class='current time']"));
element.click();

or this should work too,

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a.current.time"));
element.click();

You can also use linkText since the element is link. From the html you provided, the link text is 'url'

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.linkText("url"));
element.click();

You can also use By.partialLinkText("partial link text here");

You can also use xpath as:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@class='current time']"));
element.click();

OR,

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text() = 'url']"));
element.click();

In my case, the chrome browser version and chromedriver versions were incompatible. Chrome updated automatically from 56 to 57 and my chromedriver version was 2.27. The 2 issues throwing 'org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: cannot get automation extension' error (when maximizing the browser and when taking screenshots), where fixed after updating to cromdriver version 2.28.

I reccomend you to use pico-container as a dependency injection framework to use with cucumber-jvm.

With PicoContainer, you can have a 'base' class with the instance of WebDriver, and then pass this base class automactically to any other class. Or even you could pass directly the web driver if you prefer.

<dependency>
    <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-picocontainer</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.3</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Example:

Base class with the instance of WebDriver:

public class ContextSteps {

   private static boolean initialized = false;

   private WebDriver driver;

   @Before
   public void setUp() throws Exception {
      if (!initialized) {
         // initialize the driver
         driver = = new FirefoxDriver();

         initialized = true;
      }
   }

   public WebDriver getDriver() {
      return driver;
   }
}

Other class who access webDriver through pico-container DI.

public class OtherClassSteps {

   private ContextSteps contextSteps;

   // PicoContainer injects class ContextSteps
   public OtherClassSteps (ContextSteps contextSteps) {
      this.contextSteps = contextSteps;
   }


   @Given("^Foo step$")
   public void fooStep() throws Throwable {
      // Access WebDriver instance
      WebDriver driver = contextSteps.getDriver();
   }
}

Hope it helps.

You can use WebDriverWait. From docs example:

 (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
            public Boolean apply(WebDriver d) {
                return d.findElement(...).getText().length() != 0;
            }
        });

There is a known issue with the new Version of the FirefoxDriver namely the GeckoDriver, which doesn´t support the Action class see:

Selenium web driver moveToElement (Actions) throwing error with marionette driver?

https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/3348

Without more info I´d assume this is also your problem. If you need to test with FF then use an older version or Chrome with the ChromeDriver
