How to use createBy method of org.openqa.selenium.grid.node.locators.ByName class

To verify this:-

<div class="Caption">
  Model saved
</div>

Write this -

//div[contains(@class, 'Caption') and text()='Model saved']

And to verify this:-

<div id="alertLabel" class="gwt-HTML sfnStandardLeftMargin sfnStandardRightMargin sfnStandardTopMargin">
  Save to server successful
</div>

Write this -

//div[@id='alertLabel' and text()='Save to server successful']

Its not really possible to perform a 'mouse hover' action, instead you need to chain all of the actions that you want to achieve in one go. So move to the element that reveals the others, then during the same chain, move to the now revealed element and click on it.

When using Action Chains you have to remember to 'do it like a user would'.

Actions action = new Actions(webdriver);
WebElement we = webdriver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[13]/ul/li[4]/a"));
action.moveToElement(we).moveToElement(webdriver.findElement(By.xpath("/expression-here"))).click().build().perform();

I am using the following code to click the Escape or Enter.

try {
    Thread.sleep(700);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
    selenium.keyPressNative("27"); // Escape
    selenium.keyPressNative("10"); // Enter 
}   

we need to pause the selenium till previous command get executed successfully. So I am using the sleep() method. For my test case, I required to pause for 700 MillSec. Bases on your requirement you need to change the value.

Fields are initialized prior to the constructor's body (except for any explicit or implicit call to a superclass constructor). This means that driver is not initialized by the constructor yet when cancelarButton is initialized; it still has the default value of null.

Place the cancelarButton initialization code in the constructor after initializing driver to ensure that driver is initialized before it's needed in the initialization code for cancelarButton.

private WebDriver driver;

public ConsultaClientePorDocumento(WebDriver d){
    this.driver = d;
    this.cancelarButton = driver.findElement(By.id("Cancelar"));
}

public WebElement cancelarButton;

The JLS, Section 12.5, specifies this behavior:

Just before a reference to the newly created object is returned as the result, the indicated constructor is processed to initialize the new object using the following procedure:

1. Assign the arguments for the constructor to newly created parameter variables for this constructor invocation.

2. If this constructor begins with an explicit constructor invocation (§8.8.7.1) of another constructor in the same class (using this), then evaluate the arguments and process that constructor invocation recursively using these same five steps. If that constructor invocation completes abruptly, then this procedure completes abruptly for the same reason; otherwise, continue with step 5.

3. This constructor does not begin with an explicit constructor invocation of another constructor in the same class (using this). If this constructor is for a class other than Object, then this constructor will begin with an explicit or implicit invocation of a superclass constructor (using super). Evaluate the arguments and process that superclass constructor invocation recursively using these same five steps. If that constructor invocation completes abruptly, then this procedure completes abruptly for the same reason. Otherwise, continue with step 4.

4. Execute the instance initializers and instance variable initializers for this class, assigning the values of instance variable initializers to the corresponding instance variables, in the left-to-right order in which they appear textually in the source code for the class. If execution of any of these initializers results in an exception, then no further initializers are processed and this procedure completes abruptly with that same exception. Otherwise, continue with step 5.

5. Execute the rest of the body of this constructor. If that execution completes abruptly, then this procedure completes abruptly for the same reason. Otherwise, this procedure completes normally.

I have emphasized the last step, which is to execute the rest of the constructor.

This is a older thread, but still want to provide input for those who are stuck up at this. You have to make sure that the class file names you are creating are ending with "Test" string. e.g. AppTest, TempTest are all valid class file names, but AppCheck, TempTest1 are invalid name; maven will not detect these files for execution.

The text you want is present in a text node and cannot be retrieved directly with Selenium since it only supports element nodes.

You could remove the beginning:

String buttonText = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.success > button")).getText();
String fullText = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.success")).getText();
String text = fullText.substring(buttonText.length());

You could also extract the desired content from the innerHTML with a regular expression:

String innerText = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.success")).getAttribute("innerHTML");
String text = innerText.replaceFirst(".+?</button>([^>]+).*", "$1").trim();

Or with a piece of JavaScript code:

String text = (String)((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript(
    "return document.querySelector('div.success > button').nextSibling.textContent;");

What about this ?

WebElement emailElement = driver.findElement(By.id("email"));
emailElement.sendKeys("ABCDEFG@g.com");

WebElement usernameElement = driver.findElement(By.id("username"));
usernameElement.click(); // Here, autocomplete is done

String userName = usernameElement.getText(); // get the value
assertEquals("ABCDEFG@g.com", userName);

If you want to send the TAB key with selenium, you can do that :

emailElement.sendKeys(Keys.TAB);

All special keys are available here

The best answer to this question is here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32278904/349169

WebElement elementOldPage = driver.findElement(By.id("yourid"));

... do login etc ...

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.stalenessOf(elementOldPage));

WebElement elementNewPage = driver.findElement(By.id("yourid"));

In a word, no. It's not possible using the Selenium WebDriver API. This has been discussed ad nauseam in the issue tracker for the project, and the feature will not be added to the API.
