How to use getDescription method of org.openqa.selenium.grid.commands.CompletionCommand class

The getSize method returns the rendered web element size and not the physical size of an image. If your goal is to get the intrinsic height and width, then you could try to get the naturalWidth and naturalHeight properties:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com");

// get the intrinsic size with the getAttribute method
WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("img"));
String naturalWidth = ele.getAttribute("naturalWidth");
String naturalHeight = ele.getAttribute("naturalHeight");

// get the intrinsic size with a piece of Javascript
ArrayList result = (ArrayList)((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(
        "return [arguments[0].naturalWidth, arguments[0].naturalHeight];", ele);
Long naturalWidth2 = (Long)result.get(0);
Long naturalHeight2 = (Long)result.get(1);

Earlier, I was using IE11 with Selenium WebDriver 2.5.3 and IEDriver -2.53.0. I got the same issue. I changed the capabilities by setting some properties for IE programmatically and it worked. Here's the code snippet:

    DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
    caps.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INITIAL_BROWSER_URL, Configuration.getConfig("My URL"));
    caps.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.IGNORE_ZOOM_SETTING, true);

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.

This is simple if you only use Selenium WebDriver, and forget the usage of Selenium-RC. I'd go like this.

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
WebElement email = driver.findElement(By.id("email"));
email.sendKeys("your@email.here");

The reason for NullPointerException however is that your variable driver has never been started, you start FirefoxDriver in a variable wb thas is never being used.

You don't need to convert the whole array. Just call File's getAbsolutePath() method:

driver.findElement(By.id(id1)).sendKeys(listOfFiles[1].getAbsolutePath());

But if you do want to convert the whole array, here is the Java 8 way to do this (simplified by @RemigiusStalder):

String listOfPaths[] = Arrays.stream(listOfFiles).map(File::getAbsolutePath)
        .toArray(String[]::new);

Short answer is that isVisible is method of old Selenium RC and isDisplayed is method of Selenium 2.

If you are talking about WebDrivers WebElement, it contains only isDisplayed() method, which by the doc:

Is this element displayed or not? This method avoids the problem of having to parse an element's "style" attribute.

Before webdriver we had Selenium RC, which is now long deprecated, the DefaultSelenium class had isVisible() method that:

Determines if the specified element is visible. An element can be rendered invisible by setting the CSS "visibility" property to "hidden", or the "display" property to "none", either for the element itself or one if its ancestors. This method will fail if the element is not present.

reference

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

DesiredCapabilities would help you to change user agent.

You can achieve this by calling these methods:

• setBrowserName(java.lang.String browserName)
• setPlatform(Platform platform)
• setVersion(java.lang.String version)

Or

• static DesiredCapabilities chrome()
• static DesiredCapabilities firefox()
• static DesiredCapabilities iphone()
• ...

Based on your problem statement, the problem you are facing is that selenium is opening a fresh firefox profile where cookies are not enabled.

driver = new FirefoxDriver(); This is where you have to fix in such a way that it opens up a profile where cookies are enabled. One way is to create your own profile in firefox and open that profile instead of directly opening by FirefoxDriver();

ProfilesIni profileObj = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile yourFFProfile = profileObj.getProfile("your profile");
driver = new FirefoxDriver(yourFFProfile);

This way you can do what ever setting you need to in that profile and run your tests under that settings. If enabling cookies is the need, do that in firefox options.

Following is another way to open a specific profile as per seleniumhq.org

File profileDir = new File("path/to/top/level/of/profile");
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(profileDir);
profile.addAdditionalPreferences(extraPrefs);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
