How to use setProxy method of org.openqa.selenium.remote.AbstractDriverOptions class

I see a bit of confusion here... Regarding "Selenium WebDriver" & "Selenium Server"

Selenium WebDriver 2.0 - helps to write scripts for automating browsers..this package provides us with classes & methods to achieve automation. After writing scripts we can run them on LOCAL MACHINE and see automation ourselves. WebDriver projects were merged with selenium RC to overcome the drawbacks of selenium RC making it selenium WebDriver 2.0

Selenium Server: Now once i have my scripts (as mentioned above),To run scripts on REMOTE MACHINES (Test Beds) and NOT ON LOCAL MACHINE we do it using selenium server. So in short Selenium Webdriver works together with Selenium Server..they co-exist to help and not to replace each other.

I hope this helps

There are few types of waitFor available in Selenium. In your test case if you are aware that a particular text would appear on page load you can use waitForText. If there are different DOM elements getting populated (via Ajax/pageload) you can sequentially add waitForText.

To get list of links use driver.findElements(By.tagName("a")) and then to select one at random use a random number generator and select the WebElement at the array index.

http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.jsp

You should use file address like this:

driver.get("C:\\Users\\sharmayo\\Desktop\\testlogin.html");

instead of:

driver.get("C://Users//sharmayo//Desktop//testlogin.html");

this issue is solved with geckodriver 0.15 and selenium 3.3 version.

To properly switch to the newly opened Tab you need to induce WebDriverWait for the New Tab to render and then through a for() loop you need to iterate through the available WindowHandles and invoke switchTo().window() with the WindowHandle which is not the previous TAB through the following code block :

String first_handle = driver.getWindowHandle();
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", tableRow);
new WebDriverWait(driver,5).until(ExpectedConditions.numberOfWindowsToBe(2));
Set<String> allHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();
for(String winHandle:allHandles)
{
    if (!first_handle.equalsIgnoreCase(winHandle)
    {
        driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
    }
}

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.

I had the same issue, my mistake was because i was making driver.get("localhost:...") instead of driver.get("http://localhost:...")

Recently Selenium has launched Selenium 3 and if you are trying to use Firefox latest version then you have to use GeckoDriver:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","G:\\Selenium\\Firefox driver\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
