How to use execute method of org.openqa.selenium.grid.node.ProtocolConvertingSession class

You can also check pageloaded using following code

IWait<IWebDriver> wait = new OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30.00));

 wait.Until(driver1 => ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("return document.readyState").Equals("complete"));

Here's a couple of reasons off the top of my head:

1) You can hook your selenium tests into your build process (and hence your CI process).

2) You can use JUnit assertions.

3) You can build up multiple suites of JUnit tests (which can then be run in parallel).

I'm sure there's more but I guess it depends on the number of tests you have and the size of the project you are working on. If you're project already has a set of JUnit tests then it's quite nice to be able to write selenium tests without too much effort.

In my case I had something similar, but the error was in the folder name I used. I describe the path as C:/myFolder instead of C:\myFolder.

In previous version of ChromeDriver the first approach was still valid. Now it looks like this is not working anymore giving some Download error.

Your assumption "... ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(WebElement) would find the first element visible." is wrong! You will need to declare your WebElement as a List, find all of them, and pick the one that is visible. Here is a sample that I used successfully in the past:

@FindBy(xpath = "//input[@ng-model='loginData.username']")
private List<WebElement> txtUsername;

public String getUsername() {
    driverWait.until(CustomExpectedConditions.presenceOfAllElements(txtUsername));
    for (WebElement oneUsername : txtUsername) {
        if (oneUsername.isDisplayed())
            return oneUsername.getAttribute("value");
    }
    return null;
}

public void setUsername(String username) {
    driverWait.until(CustomExpectedConditions.presenceOfAllElements(txtUsername));
    for (WebElement oneUsername : txtUsername) {
        if (oneUsername.isDisplayed()) {
            oneUsername.clear();
            oneUsername.sendKeys(username);
            break;
        }
    }
}

Based on discussion elsewhere, here is the CustomExpectedConditions:

public class CustomExpectedConditions {
    /**
     * Based on {@link ExpectedConditions#presenceOfAllElementsLocatedBy(org.openqa.selenium.By)}.
     * 
     * @param elements
     * @return
     */
    public static ExpectedCondition<List<WebElement>> presenceOfAllElements(
            final List<WebElement> elements) {
        return new ExpectedCondition<List<WebElement>>() {

            @Override
            public List<WebElement> apply(WebDriver driver) {
                // List<WebElement> elements = findElements(locator, driver);
                return elements.size() > 0 ? elements : null;
            }
        };
    }
}

The problem was with my IE settings. The problem was resolved when the security settings in IE was changed to "Enable Protected Mode" for "Internet", "Local Intranet", "Trusted Sites" and "Restricted Sites". You can change it by going to Internet Options security tab and enable check box "Enable Protected Mode" for all the zones. I was able to get these information from the link http://jimevansmusic.blogspot.in/2012/08/youre-doing-it-wrong-protected-mode-and.html

// assuming driver is a healthy WebDriver instance
WebElement fileInput = driver.findElement(By.name("uploadfile"));
fileInput.sendKeys("C:/path/to/file.jpg");

Hey, that's mine from somewhere :).

In case of the Zamzar web, it should work perfectly. You don't click the element. You just type the path into it. To be concrete, this should be absolutely ok:

driver.findElement(By.id("inputFile")).sendKeys("C:/path/to/file.jpg");

In the case of the Uploadify web, you're in a pickle, since the upload thing is no input, but a Flash object. There's no API for WebDriver that would allow you to work with browser dialogs (or Flash objects).

So after you click the Flash element, there'll be a window popping up that you'll have no control over. In the browsers and operating systems I know, you can pretty much assume that after the window has been opened, the cursor is in the File name input. Please, make sure this assumption is true in your case, too.

If not, you could try to jump to it by pressing Alt + N, at least on Windows...

If yes, you can "blindly" type the path into it using the Robot class. In your case, that would be something in the way of:

driver.findElement(By.id("SWFUpload_0")).click();
Robot r = new Robot();
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_C);        // C
r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_C);
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_COLON);    // : (colon)
r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_COLON);
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SLASH);    // / (slash)
r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SLASH);
// etc. for the whole file path

r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);    // confirm by pressing Enter in the end
r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

It sucks, but it should work. Note that you might need these: How can I make Robot type a `:`? and Convert String to KeyEvents (plus there is the new and shiny KeyEvent#getExtendedKeyCodeForChar() which does similar work, but is available only from JDK7).

For Flash, the only alternative I know (from this discussion) is to use the dark technique:

First, you modify the source code of you the flash application, exposing internal methods using the ActionScript's ExternalInterface API. Once exposed, these methods will be callable by JavaScript in the browser.

Second, now that JavaScript can call internal methods in your flash app, you use WebDriver to make a JavaScript call in the web page, which will then call into your flash app.

This technique is explained further in the docs of the flash-selenium project. (http://code.google.com/p/flash-selenium/), but the idea behind the technique applies just as well to WebDriver.

This should work:

driver.findElement(By.LinkText("Users")).click();

By LinkText is possible

Use full resource ID ...It worked for me....

below line worked for me.... driver.findElement(MobileBy.id("com.android.packageinstaller:id/permission_allow_button")).click();

Use -

new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("gender"))).selectByVisibleText("Germany");

Of course, you need to import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;
