How to use executeWebDriverCommand method of org.openqa.selenium.grid.node.local.LocalNode class

JUnit and Cucumber are aiming at different goals. They are rather complement to each other than replace each other.

Are there any things that Cucumber can't do vs Junit.

There isn't anything you can do with JUnit that you can't do with Cucumber. And the other way around.

The difference is that while JUnit aims at tests, Cucumber aims at collaboration with non technical people. Non technical people will not understand what a unit test does. They will, however, be able to understand and validate an example written in Gherkin.

What's easier to use (coding, how fast you can write the tests) ?

There is more overhead when you use Cucumber. You will have to implement each step as a method and not just one test method as you would do if you used JUnit. The readability you gain from expressing examples using plain text is sometimes worth the extra work.

Both work with Page Objects?

Page Objects are an abstraction for the web page you are verifying. It is a class you write as developer/tester. The Page Objects can be used by both JUnit and Cucumber. In fact, there is no difference between the tools from that perspective.

The choice to use JUnit or Cucumber is a matter of granularity and audience.

A work flow that works well is to mix the tools. Define examples of how the application should work using BDD, (Cucumber, Gherkin). Implement these scenarios using Cucumber. Then, use JUnit to work out details that may be important but not necessary important for the business stakeholders at a high level. Think of corner cases that are important but are too much details for your stakeholders.

An image that describes this mix is available here: https://cucumber.io/images/home/bdd-cycle.png

I wrote blog post a while back where I talk about the right tool for the job: http://www.thinkcode.se/blog/2016/07/25/the-right-tool-for-the-job

The right tool may be Cucumber. It can also be JUnit. It all depends on your audience.

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

To get the rows, do the following- Using CSS selector:

List<WebElement> rows = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[class='table table-condensed table-hover event-list'] tr"));

Or if you have to use XPATH, then do:

List<WebElement> rows = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table[@class='table table-condensed table-hover event-list']/tbody/tr"));

This is returning a list of WebElements. You can get the count here:

int count = rows.size();
System.out.println("ROW COUNT : "+count);

Then you can get text for each element and assert if it's as expected. As you are saying the text should be same for all elements, then you can do something like this:

for(WebElement e : rows) {
        assertEquals("expected text", e.getText());
    }

Just do

WebElement myDynamicElement = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10))
  .until(ExpectedConditions.textToBePresentInElement(By.id("idOfElement")));

where 10 is timeout for polling, JavaDoc.

I do not see the test-ng dependency in your pom file. Please add the below and try.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
    <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
    <version>6.10</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Unfortunately, WebDriver can't handle these (or any other browser or OS dialog). Moreover, they tend to look differently across browsers / systems / language settings, so there's probably no definite answer. You'll need to detect and handle every possible case in order to make it work everywhere. Your options include:

• The Robot class, it allows you to "press" programatically anything on the keyboard (or clicking blindly) and therefore getting rid of the dialog by, say, pressing Enter or Esc. However, as told above, any advanced interaction is dependant on OS / language / printer.

  // press Escape programatically - the print dialog must have focus, obviously
  Robot r = new Robot();
  r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE);
  r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE);
  

• AutoIt. It's a Windows program useful for handling any system-level automation. Same dependancy as above.

That's more or less it. If you can avoid the print dialog, try to take screenshot of the page and print it using standard Java tools.

DesiredCapabilities would help you to change user agent.

You can achieve this by calling these methods:

• setBrowserName(java.lang.String browserName)
• setPlatform(Platform platform)
• setVersion(java.lang.String version)

Or

• static DesiredCapabilities chrome()
• static DesiredCapabilities firefox()
• static DesiredCapabilities iphone()
• ...

More here.

The error is being thrown by webdriver's get method that is navigating you to the url that you provided. Most probably your URL is missing a protocol. So a wild guess would be, that you are passing url as www.example.com, but what you want to give is http://www.example.com

Quick installation of the latest ChromeDriver

To install the latest version of ChromeDriver:

• Mac users with Homebrew:

  brew tap homebrew/cask && brew cask install chromedriver

The error IllegalStateException: The driver is not executable: /Users/roja/Documents/GitHub/testautomation/chromedrivers/chromedriver_osx says it all. You have to make exactly 4 changes as follows :

• Change Webdriver.chrome.driver as :

  webdriver.chrome.driver
  

• Change /Users/roja/Automation/chromedriver_osx as we need to include the name of the webdriver binary i.e. chromedriver as a value :

  /Users/roja/Automation/chromedriver_osx/chromedriver
  

• Change driver = new ChromeDriver(); as :

  WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
  

• Remove unwanted throws InterruptedException to keep your code short and simple.
