How to use getFlagObjects method of org.openqa.selenium.grid.commands.InfoCommand class

This is the telemetry feature, and the prompt is controlled by the toolkit.telemetry.prompted property:

You can set it via prefs.js:

You can kill the Browser instance initiated using Selenium retriving the PID from the capabilities object and then invoking getRuntime() with taskkill /PID as follows:

• Code Block:

  import java.io.IOException;
  import org.openqa.selenium.Capabilities;
  import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
  import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
  
  public class Kill_Firefox_PID {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
  
          System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
          WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
          Capabilities cap = ((RemoteWebDriver) driver).getCapabilities();
          System.out.println("moz:processID value is : "+cap.getCapability("moz:processID"));
          Runtime.getRuntime().exec("taskkill /PID "+cap.getCapability("moz:processID"));
      }
  }
  

• Console Output:

  moz:processID value is : 8492
  

The error says it all :

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: call function result missing 'value'
(Session info: chrome=65.0.3325.181)

The error clearly says that the Selenium Client and ChromeDriver is not getting detected back as in :

Build info: version: '3.4.0', revision: 'unknown', time: 'unknown'  
Driver info: org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver

Your main issue is the version compatibility between the binaries you are using as follows :

• You are using chromedriver=2.33
• Release Notes of chromedriver=2.33 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v60-62

• You are using chrome=65.0
• Release Notes of ChromeDriver v2.37 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v64-66

• Your Selenium Client version is 3.4.0 of which is a bit older.

So there is a clear mismatch between the Selenium Client v3.4.0 , ChromeDriver version (v2.33) and the Chrome Browser version (v65.0)

Solution

• Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.11.0.
• Upgrade ChromeDriver to current ChromeDriver v2.37 level.
• Keep Chrome version at Chrome v65.x levels. (as per ChromeDriver v2.37 release notes)
• Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
• Use CCleaner tool to wipe off all the OS chores before and after the execution of your test Suite.
• If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
• Take a System Reboot.
• Execute your @Test.

Instead of "\n" you need to use <br /> tag for Extent report new line,

extentTest.log(Status.INFO, String.format(
                "Add new record into database (%s)","{<br />" +
                        "   Name = name, <br />".replace("name", name) +
                        "   Description = description, <br />".replace("description", description) +
                        "   Language = language, <br />".replace("language", language) +
                        "   Time = time, <br />".replace("time", time) +
                        "}"));

Get all the window handles then iterate through them, switching webdriver to the new handle, then calling the close method. Obviously skip this for the original handle, then switch back to the remaining handle.

Something like;

    String originalHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();

    //Do something to open new tabs

    for(String handle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
        if (!handle.equals(originalHandle)) {
            driver.switchTo().window(handle);
            driver.close();
        }
    }

    driver.switchTo().window(originalHandle);

Make sure browser window should be active.

You can perform using actions

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.keyDown(Keys.ALT);
actions.sendKeys(Keys.F4);
actions.keyUp(Keys.ALT);
actions.perform();

Same you can achieve using Robot. To get this code running you need to add,

import java.awt.Robot;

Robot robot = new Robot();
// press key Alt+F4
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
robot.delay(100);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_F4);
// relase key Alt+F4
robot.delay(100);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_F4);
robot.delay(100);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);

If you do not use driver.quit() at the end of program, WebDriver session will not close properly and files would not be cleared off memory. This may result in memory leak errors. Hope it is clear.

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 ?

Its not really possible to perform a 'mouse hover' action, instead you need to chain all of the actions that you want to achieve in one go. So move to the element that reveals the others, then during the same chain, move to the now revealed element and click on it.

When using Action Chains you have to remember to 'do it like a user would'.

Actions action = new Actions(webdriver);
WebElement we = webdriver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[13]/ul/li[4]/a"));
action.moveToElement(we).moveToElement(webdriver.findElement(By.xpath("/expression-here"))).click().build().perform();

Use the withMessage() method:

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