How to use purgeDeadNodes method of org.openqa.selenium.grid.distributor.GridModel class

@Vel Ganesh - I dont know if this can be verified using selenium. But can be definitely done using Sikuli. You can check sikuli.org for details. Sikuli has a Java API and so can be integrated with WebDriver code as well.

Use this XPath (//div[contains(@class, 'x-grid3-cell-inner x-grid3-col-0')])[4] to get 4^th div.

To find div which contains 92301 text, use this XPath:

//div[contains(text(), '92301')]

My idea to solve this...

Create Firefox Profiles and open them with Selenium. You can modify them for your needs.

Selenium Documentation

By using specific profiles you can avoid this issue. It is not a "nice and clean" Solution..but it works...at least for me.

Just specify the path to the binary of the version..may be, like-

FirefoxBinary binary = new FirefoxBinary(new File("path_to_bin"));
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(binary, profile);

The syntax you have used that is not for cssSelector that for XPATH and you have missed parenthesis as well.

Try following xpath now.

WebElement big = browser.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(@class,'Big')]"));
WebElement medium = big.findElement(By.xpath(".//div[contains(@class,'Medium')]"));
WebElement small = medium.findElement(By.xpath(".//div[contains(@class,'Small')]"));

However you can do it in once like.

WebElement small = browser.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(@class,'Big')]//div[contains(@class,'Medium')]//div[contains(@class,'Small')]"));

elementToBeClickable is used for checking an element is visible and enabled such that you can click it.

ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable returns WebElement if expected condition is true otherwise it will throw TimeoutException, It never returns null.

So if your using ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable to find an element which will always gives you the clickable element, so no need to check for null condition, you should try as below :-

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(Scenario1Test.driver, 10); 
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("(//div[@id='brandSlider']/div[1]/div/div/div/img)[50]")));
element.click();

As you are saying element.click() passes both on link and label that's doesn't mean element is not clickable, it means returned element clicked but may be there is no event performs on element by click action.

Note:- I'm suggesting you always try first to find elements by id, name, className and other locator. if you faced some difficulty to find then use cssSelector and always give last priority to xpath locator because it is slower than other locator to locate an element.

Hope it helps you..:)

I've struggled with the same problem over an hour and finally @kenorb's solution rescued me. To be short you need to add a browser extension that does the authentication for you (since Selenium itself can't do that!).

Here is how it works for Chrome and Python:

1. Create a zip file proxy.zip containing two files:

background.js

var config = {
    mode: "fixed_servers",
    rules: {
      singleProxy: {
        scheme: "http",
        host: "YOU_PROXY_ADDRESS",
        port: parseInt(YOUR_PROXY_PORT)
      },
      bypassList: ["foobar.com"]
    }
  };

chrome.proxy.settings.set({value: config, scope: "regular"}, function() {});

function callbackFn(details) {
    return {
        authCredentials: {
            username: "YOUR_PROXY_USERNAME",
            password: "YOUR_PROXY_PASSWORD"
        }
    };
}

chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired.addListener(
        callbackFn,
        {urls: ["<all_urls>"]},
        ['blocking']
);

Don't forget to replace YOUR_PROXY_* to your settings.

manifest.json

{
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "manifest_version": 2,
    "name": "Chrome Proxy",
    "permissions": [
        "proxy",
        "tabs",
        "unlimitedStorage",
        "storage",
        "<all_urls>",
        "webRequest",
        "webRequestBlocking"
    ],
    "background": {
        "scripts": ["background.js"]
    },
    "minimum_chrome_version":"22.0.0"
}

2. Add the created proxy.zip as an extension

   from selenium import webdriver
   from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
   
   chrome_options = Options()
   chrome_options.add_extension("proxy.zip")
   
   driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='chromedriver.exe', chrome_options=chrome_options)
   driver.get("http://google.com")
   driver.close()
   

That's it. For me that worked like a charm. If you need to create proxy.zip dynamically or need PHP example then go to the original post

Why use java.awt.Robot when org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions.class would probably work fine? Just sayin.

Actions builder = new Actions(driver);

builder.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL)
   .click(someElement)
   .moveByOffset( 10, 25 );
   .click(someOtherElement)
   .keyUp(Keys.CONTROL).build().perform();

The problem you are having is a common one. All too often a new version of Firefox will not work with the latest version of Selenium Firefox WebDriver.

The solution is to use compatible versions of Firefox and Selenium Firefox WebDriver.

I recommend the following:

• Version 2.33.0 for Selenium Firefox WebDriver
• Version 18.0.2 for Firefox

This combination has always worked well for me.

You can also see which version of Selenium Firefox WebDriver is (theoretically) compatible with which versions of Firefox in the Release Notes.
