How to use continueWithAuth method of org.openqa.selenium.devtools.idealized.Network class

You can use xpath:

WebElement webElement = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("ul.x"));
webElement.findElements(By.xpath("./li");

For RemoteWebDriver you have to set file detector driver.setFileDetector(new LocalFileDetector());. Your code:

public static void uploadSampleImage(StaticSeleniumDriver driver)
{
    driver.setFileDetector(new LocalFileDetector());
    File file = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/resources/images/" + SAMPLE_DOCUMENT_FILE_NAME);
    Utils.Log("file exists: " + file.exists());

    String imagePath = file.getAbsolutePath();
    WebElement input = driver.findElement(By.name("file"));
    input.sendKeys(imagePath);
}

1) I let Gradle set the system property to the location of the current webdriver files. I need them in my tests, so I set the properties before my test task.

test.doFirst{
    def classpathRoots = project.sourceSets.test.runtimeClasspath.files
    systemProperty 'webdriver.gecko.driver', classpathRoots.find { it.name.startsWith('geckodriver') }
    systemProperty 'webdriver.chrome.driver', classpathRoots.find { it.name.startsWith('chromedriver') }
    systemProperty 'webdriver.edge.driver', classpathRoots.find { it.name.startsWith('microsoftwebdriver') }
}

Looks like timing issue to me. After you redirect to checkout, you might want to wait for the elements before interacting. See Explicit Waits in documentation.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 60);// 1 minute 
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("order_billing_name")));
driver.findElement(By.id("order_billing_name")).sendKeys(a.getName());

There are a couple of ways you can accomplish this. If you insist on using XPath to do it, you need to add the context node to the locator, like this:

WebElement parentElement = childElement.findElement(By.xpath("./.."));

Alternatively, you can use the JavascriptExecutor interface, which might be slightly more performant. That would look like this:

// NOTE: broken into separate statements for clarity. Could be done as one statement.
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
WebElement parentElement = (WebElement)executor.executeScript("return arguments[0].parentNode;", childElement);

different dialogs handling using selenium webDriver:

import org.openqa.selenium.Alert;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class JavaScriptAlertTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    WebDriver myTestDriver = new FirefoxDriver();
    myTestDriver.get("...blablabla....");

    myTestDriver.manage().window().maximize();

    myTestDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value = 'alert']")).click();

    Alert javascriptAlert = myTestDriver.switchTo().alert();
    System.out.println(javascriptAlert.getText()); // Get text on alert box
    javascriptAlert.accept();

    System.out.println("*************prompt******************************************");

    myTestDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value = 'prompt']")).click();

    Alert javascriptprompt = myTestDriver.switchTo().alert();
    javascriptprompt.sendKeys("This is Selenium Training");

    System.out.println(javascriptprompt.getText()); // Get text on alert box

    javascriptprompt.accept();
    javascriptprompt = myTestDriver.switchTo().alert();

    System.out.println(javascriptprompt.getText()); // Get text on alert box
    javascriptprompt.accept();

    myTestDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value = 'prompt']")).click();

    javascriptprompt = myTestDriver.switchTo().alert();

    System.out.println(javascriptprompt.getText()); // Get text on alert box

    javascriptprompt.dismiss();
    javascriptprompt = myTestDriver.switchTo().alert();

    System.out.println(javascriptprompt.getText()); // Get text on alert box
    javascriptprompt.accept();

    System.out.println("***********************************confirm dialog box****************************");
    myTestDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value = 'confirm']")).click();

    Alert javascriptconfirm = myTestDriver.switchTo().alert();
    javascriptconfirm.accept();

    javascriptconfirm = myTestDriver.switchTo().alert();
    System.out.println(javascriptconfirm.getText()); // Get text on alert box
    javascriptconfirm.accept();

    myTestDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value = 'confirm']")).click();
    javascriptconfirm = myTestDriver.switchTo().alert();

    javascriptconfirm.dismiss();
    javascriptconfirm = myTestDriver.switchTo().alert();
    System.out.println(javascriptconfirm.getText()); // Get text on alert box
    javascriptconfirm.accept();

}
}

Hope it helps you:)

Go with PhantomJS but if running them in chromedriver is required and you have the resources, this blog has a good recipe on running headless selenium with chrome. Requiring you to download the following...

• VirtualBox
• Vagrant
• NodeJS

If you plan to implement Jenkins or any other CI in the future, I strongly suggest going with PhantomJS though.

The simple solution instead of excluding it is to just do

android {
    packagingOptions {
        pickFirst  'META-INF/*'
    }
}

Use the withMessage() method:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, timeout);
wait.withMessage("Any message you want");
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.titleIs(title));
