How to use asArg method of org.openqa.selenium.interactions.PointerInput.Origin class

You can use JavaScriptExecutor for scrolling.

Scroll Down

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scr‌​ollHeight);");

Scroll Up

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,0);");

This error message...

java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to localhost/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1:1731

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser session.

Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:

• You are using chromedriver=2.35
• Release Notes of chromedriver=2.41 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v62-64

• Presumably you are using chrome=70.0
• Release Notes of ChromeDriver v2.44 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v69-71

• Your Selenium Client version is 3.9.1 which is almost 2 years older.

So there is a clear mismatch between Selenium Client v3.9.1 , ChromeDriver v2.35 and the Chrome Browser v70.0

Solution

Ensure that:

• Selenium is upgraded to current levels Version 3.141.59.
• ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v79.0.3945.36 level.
• Chrome is updated to current Chrome Version 79.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v79.0 release notes)
• Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
• If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
• Execute your @Test as non-root user.

There is a very good plugin that can be used with selenium project shadow-automation-selenium. It helps in writing much better, readable and maintainable code. Using this you can access multi level of shadow DOM (upto 4 levels ) . This uses simple css selector to identify elements.

WebElement findElement(String cssSelector) : use this method if want single element from DOM

List<WebElement> findElements(String cssSelector) : use this if you want to find all elements from DOM

WebElement findElements(WebElement parent, String cssSelector) : use this if you want to find a single elements from parent object DOM

List<WebElement> findElements(WebElement parent, String cssSelector) : use this if you want to find all elements from parent object DOM

WebElement getShadowElement(WebElement parent,String selector) : use this if you want to find a single element from parent DOM

List<WebElement> getAllShadowElement(WebElement parent,String selector) : use this if you want to find all elements from parent DOM

boolean isVisible(WebElement element) : use this if you want to find visibility of element

boolean isChecked(WebElement element) : use this if you want to check if checkbox is selected

boolean isDisabled(WebElement element) : use this if you want to check if element is disabled

String getAttribute(WebElement element,String attribute) : use this if you want to get attribute like aria-selected and other custom attributes of elements.

void selectCheckbox(String label) : use this to select checkbox element using label.

void selectCheckbox(WebElement parentElement, String label) : use this to select checkbox element using label.

void selectRadio(String label) : use this to select radio element using label.

void selectRadio(WebElement parentElement, String label) : use this to select radio element from parent DOM using label.

void selectDropdown(String label) : use this to select dropdown list item using label (use this if only one dropdown is present or loaded on UI).

void selectDropdown(WebElement parentElement, String label) : use this to select dropdown list item from parent DOM using label.

How to use this plugin: You will have to dependency in your project.

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.github.sukgu</groupId>
  <artifactId>automation</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.4</version>
<dependency>

for html tag that resides under a shadow-root dom element

<properties-page id="settingsPage"> 
  <textarea id="textarea">
</properties-page>

You can use this code in your framework to grab the textarea element Object.

  import io.github.sukgu.*;
  Shadow shadow = new Shadow(driver);
  WebElement element = shadow.findElement("properties-page#settingsPage>textarea#textarea");
  String text = element.getText();

I've solved!

Surfing on the web I've found this post http://seleniummonk.blogspot.it/p/how-to-handle-ssl-cerificates.html that gave me the solution.

I need to use the "Firefox profile" (I use the default one ...), so I can have all the certificates I need to.

Here you're the new code that works

package myTestProjects;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.internal.ProfilesIni;

public class GAMOPERA_Test_01 {

private static WebDriver driver = null;

public static void main(String[] args)  throws InterruptedException {

    ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
    FirefoxProfile ffProfile = profile.getProfile("default"); 

    // Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
    System.out.println("Creo una nuova sessione del browser Firefox ...");
    driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffProfile);          

    //Put a Implicit wait, this means that any search for elements on the page could take the time the implicit wait is set for before throwing exception
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    // It is always advisable to Maximize the window before performing DragNDrop action
    System.out.println("Massimizzo la finestra del browser ...");
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
    Thread.sleep(3000L);

    //Launch the Sistema Piemonte Home Page
    System.out.println("Mi collego a Sistema Piemonte ...");
    driver.get("<my_site_url>");
    Thread.sleep(3000L);          

    // Find the element Accedi o 
    System.out.println("Accesso tramite certificato digitale ...");
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[6]/div/div/div[2]/form/table/tbody/tr[3]/td/input")).click();        

    //driver.findElement(By.className("loginbutton")).click();
    Thread.sleep(3000L); 

    // Print TEST = OK!!
    System.out.println("TEST = OK !!");
    //driver.quit();

        }

}

I hope this could be useful!

I found the solution, which is quite easy:

String jQuerySelector = "'#myDiv input.test'";
RenderedWebElement webElement = (RenderedWebElement) ((JavascriptExecutor) webDriver).executeScript("return $(" + jQuerySelector+ ").get(0);");

Working with an element in jQuery which was previosly selected in Selenium works too:

String jQuerySelector = "arguments[0]";
((JavascriptExecutor) webDriver).executeScript("return $(" + jQuerySelector+ ").doSomethingInJquery();", webElement);

You can use WebDriverWait. From docs example:

 (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
            public Boolean apply(WebDriver d) {
                return d.findElement(...).getText().length() != 0;
            }
        });

You should be able to get the text using getText() (for the option element you got using getFirstSelectedOption()):

Select select = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select")));
WebElement option = select.getFirstSelectedOption();
String defaultItem = option.getText();
System.out.println(defaultItem );

Just for anyone else who's looking for an answer in Ruby, Python, and C# bindings (Selenium 2.33.0).

Note that the actual keys to send depend on your OS. For example, Mac uses CMD + T, instead of Ctrl + T.

Ruby

require 'selenium-webdriver'

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
driver.get('http://stackoverflow.com/')

body = driver.find_element(:tag_name => 'body')
body.send_keys(:control, 't')

driver.quit

Python

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com/")

body = driver.find_element_by_tag_name("body")
body.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + 't')

driver.close()

C#

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;

namespace StackOverflowTests {

    class OpenNewTab {

        static void Main(string[] args) {

            IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://stackoverflow.com/");

            IWebElement body = driver.FindElement(By.TagName("body"));
            body.SendKeys(Keys.Control + 't');

            driver.Quit();
        }
    }
}

Use HTTP requests if you just want to make calls (i.e. to REST services). Use selenium (or other web automation tools) if you need to simulate browser behaviour (i.e. run javascript in the page). HTTP is generally preferable if you have the option - services are more stable than page structure (particularly if there's a published interface) and are more oftened designed to be machine-readable. Web pages are designed for humans using web browsers, so they can change frequently, and adds a lot of overhead which doesn't make sense in a machine interface.

So, I'd suggest - look through the sequence of user actions you're trying to automate. If you can express those as a simple sequence of HTTP requests, I'd do it that way. If you need to run client-side javascript, or use other browser functionality, use selenium.
