How to use getData method of org.openqa.selenium.remote.http.FormEncodedData class

It is a very stupid mistake that maybe someone new to testNG may make...

@BeforeGroups("regression") 

This is a wrong usage.. The correct usage should be:

@BeforeGroups(groups = "regression")

Took me two days!!

this below code works for me in Selenium 3 and chrome version 58.

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("http://yahoo.com");  
    ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.open()");
    ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String>(driver.getWindowHandles());
    driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1));
    driver.get("http://google.com");

    String base = driver.getWindowHandle();

    Set <String> set = driver.getWindowHandles();

    set.remove(base);
    assert set.size()==1;

    driver.switchTo().window(set.toArray(new String[0]));

    driver.close();
    driver.switchTo().window(base);

This works for me...

This should work with Firefox, Chrome and IE drivers.

FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("http://localhost:8080/page");

File file = null;

try {
    file = new File(YourClass.class.getClassLoader().getResource("file.txt").toURI());
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Assert.assertTrue(file.exists()); 

WebElement browseButton = driver.findElement(By.id("myfile"));
browseButton.sendKeys(file.getAbsolutePath());

You need to use geckodriver to interact with Firefox since Selenium 3.0. Download geckodriver from github depending upon your OS and extract geckodriver.exe into a folder.

Add the following line before initializing WebDriver:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","c:/your/path/to/geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
...

isElementPresent() - This method basically tests if the element we are looking for is present somewhere on the page.

isVisible() - looks for display: none style tag - this might throw a null pointer if we aren't careful...thus to see if an element is visible first check if the element is present using isElementPresent() method. Then try checking if the element is visible!

Observe that isElementPresent() won't mind even if our element is not visible.

For ex: lets say the below is the html code for a component on my test application:

now if you test the above component with

selenium.isElementPresent("testinput") - returns true!
selenium.isVisible("testinput") - returns false!

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

Changing the system property worked for me. Change it to following:

System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette","src\\test\\java\\lib\\geckodriver.exe");
driver= new FirefoxDriver();

Hope that helps.

PhantomJS 1.x has a problem with element IDs. The site is broken, because it uses password for two elements on the page which should never happen. Simply replacing the id in the selector with the element type (input) solves it.

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#pintr > input")).sendKeys("1234");
