How to use getStereotype method of org.openqa.selenium.grid.data.Session class

The error says it all :

[RemoteTestNG] detected TestNG version 6.14.2 Starting ChromeDriver (v2.9.248307) on port 34979

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

• You are using chromedriver=v2.9
• Release Notes of chromedriver=2.9 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v31-34

• Your Chrome Browser version is unknown to us. (assuming Chrome Browser is updated to v65.x level)
• Your Selenium Client version is 3.10.0.
• Your JDK version is 1.8.0_101 which is pretty ancient.

So there is a clear mismatch between the JDK v8u101 , Selenium Client v3.10.0 , ChromeDriver version (v2.9) and the current Chrome Browser version (v65.0)

Solution

• Upgrade JDK to recent levels JDK 8u162.
• Keep Selenium to current levels Version 3.10.0.
• Upgrade ChromeDriver to stable ChromeDriver v2.36 level.
• Keep Chrome version at Chrome v65.x levels. (as per ChromeDriver v2.36 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 Chrome version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Chrome.
• Execute your @Test.

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;
            }
        });

    String base = driver.getWindowHandle();

    Set <String> set = driver.getWindowHandles();

    set.remove(base);
    assert set.size()==1;

    driver.switchTo().window(set.toArray(new String[0]));

    driver.close();
    driver.switchTo().window(base);

This works for me...

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

If you want the HTML of the element itself, you can use

webElement.getAttribute("outerHTML");

It will return the HTML of the element itself plus all the children elements. I'm not sure if that's exactly what you want. I don't think there is a way to just get the HTML of the selected element only.

One other way to launch chrome in incognito mode is to add argument "-incognito" like following:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--incognito");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);

This solution works for me.

You need to wait for Javascript and jQuery to finish loading. Execute Javascript to check if jQuery.active is 0 and document.readyState is complete, which means the JS and jQuery load is complete.

public boolean waitForJSandJQueryToLoad() {

    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);

    // wait for jQuery to load
    ExpectedCondition<Boolean> jQueryLoad = new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
      @Override
      public Boolean apply(WebDriver driver) {
        try {
          return ((Long)((JavascriptExecutor)getDriver()).executeScript("return jQuery.active") == 0);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
          // no jQuery present
          return true;
        }
      }
    };

    // wait for Javascript to load
    ExpectedCondition<Boolean> jsLoad = new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
      @Override
      public Boolean apply(WebDriver driver) {
        return ((JavascriptExecutor)getDriver()).executeScript("return document.readyState")
        .toString().equals("complete");
      }
    };

  return wait.until(jQueryLoad) && wait.until(jsLoad);
}

In the example code given, it assumes the older Google page exists which has the search field with name=q.

The page no longer is labelled that way - try changing driver.findElement(By.name("q")) to driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[id=gbqfq]") and see if that fixes your issue - at the very least it should be able to input to the search bar once you get the page loaded up.

If you called driver.getCurrentUrl() immediately after trying to get the page, it may not have loaded completely and instead returned about:blank.

If that doesn't work, we can keep troubleshooting - it's harder to see what's actually happening with a headless browser, so you may want to switch to a FirefoxDriver temporarily to visualize exactly what's happening.

If you replace

//Update the value of cell
cell = sheet.getRow(row).getCell(col);
cell.setCellValue("Pass");

With

//Retrieve the row and check for null
HSSFRow sheetrow = sheet.getRow(row);
if(sheetrow == null){
    sheetrow = sheet.createRow(row);
}
//Update the value of cell
cell = sheetrow.getCell(col);
if(cell == null){
    cell = sheetrow.createCell(col);
}
cell.setCellValue("Pass");

It will work!
