How to use getSystemPropertiesConfigPrefix method of org.openqa.selenium.grid.distributor.httpd.DistributorServer class

It doesn't appear in the docs, but if you look at the source code you will see @Deprecated annotation

@Deprecated
public WebDriverWait(WebDriver driver, long timeoutInSeconds) {
    this(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(timeoutInSeconds));
}

In the constructor description you have the solution

@deprecated Instead, use {@link WebDriverWait#WebDriverWait(WebDriver, Duration)}.

Which is the constructor being called from the deprecated one in any case.

new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));

You can do it easily by using JUnit or TestNG framework. Do the assertion as below:

String actualTitle = driver.getTitle();
String expectedTitle = "Title of Page";
assertEquals(expectedTitle,actualTitle);

OR,

assertTrue(driver.getTitle().contains("Title of Page"));

If there has been any changes to the page after you have initially found the element the webdriver reference will now contain a stale reference. As the page has changed, the element will no longer be where webdriver expects it to be.

To solve your issue, try finding the element each time you need to use it - writing a small method that you can call as and when is a good idea.

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait

public void clickAnElementByLinkText(String linkText) {
    wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.linkText(linkText)));
    driver.findElement(By.linkText(linkText)).click();
}

Then within your code you'd only need to:

clickAnElementByLinkText("Logout");

So each time it will find the element and click on it, as such even if the page changes as it is 'refreshing' the reference to that element it all successfully click it.

As, when you open a feature file in Eclipse and right-click, then you do not find an option 'Run As->Cucumber Feature', it appears that your Eclipse do not have the required Cucumber Eclipse Plug-in. You can install this plug-in using following steps:

1. Launch Eclipse and navigate to 'Help->Install New Software'.
2. Click on 'Add' button
3. Enter any name e.g. 'Cucumber' and type '' as location.
4. Click on OK.
5. 'Cucumber Eclipse Plugin' option will appear in the available software list.
6. Select the check box against it and click on 'Next' button.
7. Read the terms of license agreement and click on 'I accept the terms of the license agreement” if you agree with the license terms.
8. Click on 'Finish' button.
9. Let it install, it will take few seconds to complete.

After successful installation of this plug-in, if you open any feature file (i.e. file with .feature extension) and right-click, you should see 'Run As->Cucumber Feature' option.

Update 1

In Eclipse, go to 'Windows->Preferences->Run/Debug/Launching/Launch Configuration' and uncheck 'Cucumber Feature' checkbox if it is checked. Refer to below screen shot for more details:

Just from the error message, it looks like your -jar argument has something other than - as the first character, probably an en-dash. It would then interpret –jar as a class to search for on the class path. Attempting this yields the same error message for me, modulo whatever encoding transformation is happening to the error message on your system.

but the same way if i use "visibilityOf",it gives me NoSuchElementException

Actually, you are getting Exception by this line of code dr.findElement(By.linkText("Element3")), in your provided code this line will execute first and if element will be find then ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf() callable will execute.

FYI, WebDriver.findElement() either throws exception or returns a WebElement.

visibilityOfElementLocated Vs visibilityOf :-

• visibilityOfElementLocated is used for checking that an element is present on the DOM of a page and visible. Means it uses By object instead of WebElement object with callable function to find that element first then check that element is visible or not.

• visibilityOf is used for checking that an element, known to be present on the DOM of a page, is visible. Means you have already found that element and just check only for that visibility.

Yes, it's possible

driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

Call it right after you are creating the new WebDriver instance.

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

You can also delete the cookies one by one

Set<Cookie> allCookies = driver.manage().getCookies();
for (Cookie cookie : allCookies) {
    driver.manage().deleteCookieNamed(cookie.getName());
}

Well, there are two types of wait: explicit and implicit wait. The idea of explicit wait is

WebDriverWait.until(condition-that-finds-the-element);

The concept of implicit wait is

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

You can get difference in details here.

In such situations I'd prefer using explicit wait (fluentWait in particular):

public WebElement fluentWait(final By locator) {
    Wait<WebDriver> wait = new FluentWait<WebDriver>(driver)
            .withTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            .pollingEvery(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);

    WebElement foo = wait.until(new Function<WebDriver, WebElement>() {
        public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) {
            return driver.findElement(locator);
        }
    });

    return  foo;
};

fluentWait function returns your found web element. From the documentation on fluentWait: An implementation of the Wait interface that may have its timeout and polling interval configured on the fly. Each FluentWait instance defines the maximum amount of time to wait for a condition, as well as the frequency with which to check the condition. Furthermore, the user may configure the wait to ignore specific types of exceptions whilst waiting, such as NoSuchElementExceptions when searching for an element on the page. Details you can get here

Usage of fluentWait in your case be the following:

WebElement textbox = fluentWait(By.id("textbox"));

This approach IMHO better as you do not know exactly how much time to wait and in polling interval you can set arbitrary timevalue which element presence will be verified through . Regards.

Can you try Java Script Executor for this

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver
js.executeScript("function createEvent(typeOfEvent) {\n" + "var event =document.createEvent(\"CustomEvent\");\n"
                    + "event.initCustomEvent(typeOfEvent,true, true, null);\n" + "event.dataTransfer = {\n" + "data: {},\n"
                    + "setData: function (key, value) {\n" + "this.data[key] = value;\n" + "},\n"
                    + "getData: function (key) {\n" + "return this.data[key];\n" + "}\n" + "};\n" + "return event;\n"
                    + "}\n" + "\n" + "function dispatchEvent(element, event,transferData) {\n"
                    + "if (transferData !== undefined) {\n" + "event.dataTransfer = transferData;\n" + "}\n"
                    + "if (element.dispatchEvent) {\n" + "element.dispatchEvent(event);\n"
                    + "} else if (element.fireEvent) {\n" + "element.fireEvent(\"on\" + event.type, event);\n" + "}\n"
                    + "}\n" + "\n" + "function simulateHTML5DragAndDrop(element, destination) {\n"
                    + "var dragStartEvent =createEvent('dragstart');\n" + "dispatchEvent(element, dragStartEvent);\n"
                    + "var dropEvent = createEvent('drop');\n"
                    + "dispatchEvent(destination, dropEvent,dragStartEvent.dataTransfer);\n"
                    + "var dragEndEvent = createEvent('dragend');\n"
                    + "dispatchEvent(element, dragEndEvent,dropEvent.dataTransfer);\n" + "}\n" + "\n"
                    + "var source = arguments[0];\n" + "var destination = arguments[1];\n"
                    + "simulateHTML5DragAndDrop(source,destination);", ElementFrom, ElementTo);

It works for me on web application which are angular based.
