How to use withVerbose method of org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeDriverService.Builder class

Here is the Answer to your Question:

The error says it all The type List is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <WebElement> type. It means when you configured the List as in List<WebElement> linkElements, accidentally you have imported it from java.awt.List where it is not defined. Hence the error.

The following screenshot shows it all:

Solution:

As a solution, I have used your own code importing java.util.List instead of java.awt.List and your code block works just fine:

package demo;

import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Q45402867_tagname_a {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");  
        WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
        String baseUrl="https://www.udacity.com/";
        driver.get(baseUrl);
        String Title="Udacity - Free Online Courses and Nanodegree Programs";
        List<WebElement> linkElements = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
        System.out.println(linkElements.size());
        for (WebElement ele:linkElements)
        System.out.println(ele);
    }

}

The output on the console is:

86
[[FirefoxDriver: firefox on ANY (ef81931f-9530-4998-8405-6581ab51c86e)] -> tag name: a]
...  84 more ...
[[FirefoxDriver: firefox on ANY (ef81931f-9530-4998-8405-6581ab51c86e)] -> tag name: a]

Let me know if this Answers your Question.

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.

There is no way to do this in WebDriver (as of v2.21.0). You can try replacing the usual findElement(By) method with an adjusted one that uses JavaScript to highlight the found element:

// Draws a red border around the found element. Does not set it back anyhow.
public WebElement findElement(By by) {
    WebElement elem = driver.findElement(by);
    // draw a border around the found element
    if (driver instanceof JavascriptExecutor) {
        ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].style.border='3px solid red'", elem);
    }
    return elem;
}

Now that you got the idea, there's an improved version that restores the original border of the last element when a new one is found and highlighted:

// assuming JS is enabled
private JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
private WebElement lastElem = null;
private String lastBorder = null;

private static final String SCRIPT_GET_ELEMENT_BORDER;
private static final String SCRIPT_UNHIGHLIGHT_ELEMENT;

void highlightElement(WebElement elem) {
    unhighlightLast();

    // remember the new element
    lastElem = elem;
    lastBorder = (String)(js.executeScript(SCRIPT_GET_ELEMENT_BORDER, elem));
}

void unhighlightLast() {
    if (lastElem != null) {
        try {
            // if there already is a highlighted element, unhighlight it
            js.executeScript(SCRIPT_UNHIGHLIGHT_ELEMENT, lastElem, lastBorder);
        } catch (StaleElementReferenceException ignored) {
            // the page got reloaded, the element isn't there
        } finally {
            // element either restored or wasn't valid, nullify in both cases
            lastElem = null;
        }
    }
}

And the scripts! I load them from a file using FileUtils.readFileToString().

SCRIPT_GET_ELEMENT_BORDER (IE friendly version taken from this site), it would be way shorter if it used highlighting via changing the background color, say, only the bottom border. But this is the nicest one :).

/*
 * Returns all border properties of the specified element as String,
 * in order of "width style color" delimited by ';' (semicolon) in the form of:
 * 
 * "2px inset #000000;2px inset #000000;2px inset #000000;2px inset #000000"
 * "medium none #ccc;medium none #ccc;1px solid #e5e5e5;medium none #ccc"
 * etc.
 */
var elem = arguments[0]; 
if (elem.currentStyle) {
    // Branch for IE 6,7,8. No idea how this works on IE9, but the script
    // should take care of it.
    var style = elem.currentStyle;
    var border = style['borderTopWidth']
            + ' ' + style['borderTopStyle']
            + ' ' + style['borderTopColor']
            + ';' + style['borderRightWidth']

            + ' ' + style.getPropertyValue('border-left-style')
            + ' ' + style.getPropertyValue('border-left-color');
}
// highlight the element
elem.style.border = '2px solid red';
return border;

SCRIPT_UNHIGHLIGHT_ELEMENT

var elem = arguments[0];
var borders = arguments[1].split(';');
elem.style.borderTop = borders[0];
elem.style.borderRight = borders[1];
elem.style.borderBottom = borders[2];
elem.style.borderLeft = borders[3];

Any questions, notes, requests and improvements are welcome!

Cucumber features/scenarios are run in Alphabetical order by feature file name.

However, if you specifically specify features, they should be run in the order as declared. For example:

@Cucumber.Options(features={"automatedTestingServices.feature", "smoketest.feature"})

Aditya,

As you said in your last comment that you are trying to access chrome of some other system so based on that you should keep your chrome driver in that system itself.

for example: if you are trying to access linux chrome from windows then you need to put your chrome driver in linux at some place and give permission as 777 and use below code at your windows system.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "\\var\\www\\Jar\\chromedriver");
Capability= DesiredCapabilities.chrome();   Capability.setPlatform(org.openqa.selenium.Platform.ANY);
browser=new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(nodeURL),Capability);

This is working code of my system.

These cases are usually when Firefox & Selenium are a little "out of sync" in terms of compatibility.

You should try two things: update Selenium to the latest one and/or downgrade Firefox. Keeping an eye on the Selenium Release Notes

I found the work around as below

1. Open terminal
2. Navigate to path where your chromedriver file is located
3. Execute any one of the below commands

Command1: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <name-of-executable>

Example

/usr/local/Caskroom/chromedriver 
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine chromedriver 

(or)

Command2: spctl --add --label 'Approved' <name-of-executable>

Source: https://docwhat.org/upgrading-to-catalina

Note: This will work only with the file(s) where the above command is executed. If a new chromedriver is downloaded then the command has to be executed again on the newly downloaded file

First of all lets be clear about what a WebElement is.

A WebElement is a reference to an element in the DOM.

A StaleElementException is thrown when the element you were interacting is destroyed and then recreated. Most complex web pages these days will move things about on the fly as the user interacts with it and this requires elements in the DOM to be destroyed and recreated.

When this happens the reference to the element in the DOM that you previously had becomes stale and you are no longer able to use this reference to interact with the element in the DOM. When this happens you will need to refresh your reference, or in real world terms find the element again.

Put sleep. It will work. I have tried. The reason is that the page wasn't loaded yet. Check this question to know how to wait for load - Wait for page load in Selenium
