How to use nextName method of org.openqa.selenium.json.JsonInput class

This will give all elements that contains text foobar

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[text()[contains(.,'foobar')]]"));

If you want exact match,

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[text() = 'foobar']"));

Or you can execute Javascript using JQuery in Selenium

This will return all web elements containing the text from parent to the last child, hence I am using the jquery selector :last to get the inner most node that contains this text, but this may not be always accurate, if you have multiple nodes containing same text.

(WebElement)((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("return $(\":contains('foobar'):last\").get(0);");

If you want exact match for the above, you need to run a filter on the results,

(WebElement)((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("return $(\":contains('foobar')\").filter(function() {" +
    "return $(this).text().trim() === 'foobar'}).get(0);");

jQuery returns an array of Elements, if you have only one web element on the page with that particular text you will get an array of one element. I am doing .get(0) to get that first element of the array and cast it to a WebElement

Hope this helps.

NullPointerException is thrown because of how PageFactory works. You see, when you create an instance of ComplaintPage class, you are invoking its constructor:

public ComplaintPage() {
        driver = Browser.extendedDriver();
        PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);
    }

The constructor calls initElements method of PageFactory class. This method initializes all of WebElement and List<WebElement> fields with Java Reflection API. It basically changes the default null values to implementations of the interface. It also provides sort of Lazy instantiation of the WebElement which means - WebElements are found (looked for?) only when needed - when you invoke operations on them.

When you created static methods and static WebElements - you did not call the constructor of the class, which lead to NOT invoking the initElements method.

All of the elements annotated with @FindBy were not initialized. That's why it's not a good idea to use PageFactory with static methods.

Instead of using PageFactory you can just find the element with classic driver.findElement inside the static method.

    public void static setComplaintDate(WebDriver driver) {
        driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[data-selector=date-received-complaint]")).sendKeys(LocalDate.now().toString());
    }

you can use:

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-notifications")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)

Ok, after hours and even days of research, I found the solution:

For JDK 9 and above, when defining the pom.xml, you have to exclude that sub-dependency whenever you will use a dependency that contains it. In my case, the cobertura dependency included sun.com:tools.

What I edited in my pom.xml file:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sourceforge.cobertura/cobertura -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>net.sourceforge.cobertura</groupId>
        <artifactId>cobertura</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.1</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>com.sun</groupId>
                <artifactId>tools</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

This seems to be still an open issue for some maven dependencies. Check: issues1 or issues2 or Google search: <dependency_you_are_using> sun tools for more info.

PhantomJS by default starts with no local-storage; see this discussion.

To enable local-storage via Selenium I have used the following Java code. Sorry, it has been too long since I have used C#, but I am confident the C# bindings have similar methods available.

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.phantomjs();
// Phantom options can only be set from CLI
List<String> cliArgs = new ArrayList<String>();
cliArgs.add("--local-storage-quota=5000");
Path local_storage_path = Files.createTempDirectory("PhantomLocalStorage-");
cliArgs.add("--local-storage-path=" + local_storage_path.toString());
capabilities.setCapability(PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_CLI_ARGS, cliArgs);
WebDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver(capabilities);

Note that local_storage_path will not be deleted after you are done with it. If you need that, you can set up a hook as per this post. But I suspect in C# this part is going to be wildly different from Java.

Looks like timing issue to me. After you redirect to checkout, you might want to wait for the elements before interacting. See Explicit Waits in documentation.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 60);// 1 minute 
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("order_billing_name")));
driver.findElement(By.id("order_billing_name")).sendKeys(a.getName());

You must execute JS to set the window.alert call to do nothing. You can use this method.

static void confirmDialog(WebDriver driver) {
    if (driver instanceof PhantomJSDriver) {
        PhantomJSDriver phantom = (PhantomJSDriver) driver;
        phantom.executeScript("window.alert = function(){}");
        phantom.executeScript("window.confirm = function(){return true;}");
    } else driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
}

Use inheritance.

public class TestBase {

    protected WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeClass
    public void setUp(){
        System.out.println("I am in setUp method.");

        //WebDriver instantiation etc.
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("--start-maximized", "--disable-cache");
        driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    }

    @AfterClass
    public void tearDown(){
        System.out.println("I am in tearDown method.");

        //You can clean up after tests.
        driver.close();
    }
}

And then inheritance can be used. Pay attention to the extends keyword:

public class ParticularTest extends TestBase {

   @Test
   public void testMethod() {
       System.out.println("I am in testMethod.");

       //Your driver from TestBase is accessible here.
       //Your assertions come here.
   }
}

Later on you can just execute ParticularTest.java. Output:

I am in setUp method.
I am in testMethod.
I am in tearDown method.

How to get border color or other css values look in Computed there are all values that you can get:

getCssValue("border-bottom-color")

returns rgba(209, 219, 223, 1) and need to clear it (this will work for rgba and rgb):

String rgb[] = driver.findElement(By.name("login[email]")).getCssValue("border-bottom-color").replaceAll("(rgba)|(rgb)|(\\()|(\\s)|(\\))","").split(",");

Now our rgb is in array using this method to parse it

String hex = String.format("#%s%s%s", toBrowserHexValue(Integer.parseInt(rgb[0])), toBrowserHexValue(Integer.parseInt(rgb[1])), toBrowserHexValue(Integer.parseInt(rgb[2])));

private static String toBrowserHexValue(int number) {
        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(Integer.toHexString(number & 0xff));
        while (builder.length() < 2) {
            builder.append("0");
        }
        return builder.toString().toUpperCase();
    }

From this rgba(209, 219, 223, 1) we got this #D1DBDF

P.S. Source of parsing int rgb to hex
