How to use withLogFile method of org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverService.Builder class

Follow the code below exactly matched with your case.

1. Create an interface of the web element for the div under div with class as facetContainerDiv

ie for

<div class="facetContainerDiv">
    <div>

    </div>
</div>

2. Create an IList with all the elements inside the second div i.e for,

<label class="facetLabel">
   <input class="facetCheck" type="checkbox" />
</label>
<label class="facetLabel">
   <input class="facetCheck" type="checkbox" />
</label>
<label class="facetLabel">
   <input class="facetCheck" type="checkbox" />
</label>
<label class="facetLabel">
   <input class="facetCheck" type="checkbox" />
</label>
<label class="facetLabel">
   <input class="facetCheck" type="checkbox" />
</label>

3. Access each check boxes using the index

Please find the code below

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;

namespace SeleniumTests
{
  class ChechBoxClickWthIndex
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("file:///C:/Users/chery/Desktop/CheckBox.html");

            // Create an interface WebElement of the div under div with **class as facetContainerDiv**
            IWebElement WebElement =    driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[@class='facetContainerDiv']/div"));
            // Create an IList and intialize it with all the elements of div under div with **class as facetContainerDiv**
            IList<IWebElement> AllCheckBoxes = WebElement.FindElements(By.XPath("//label/input"));
            int RowCount = AllCheckBoxes.Count;
            for (int i = 0; i < RowCount; i++)
            {
            // Check the check boxes based on index
               AllCheckBoxes[i].Click();

            }
            Console.WriteLine(RowCount);
            Console.ReadLine(); 

        }
    }
}

You can locate an element that loads after the initial page loads and then make Selenium wait until that element is found.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("ID")));

Update: The textContent attribute is a better option and supported across the majority of browsers. The differences are explained in detail at this blog post: innerText vs. textContent

As an alternative, the innerText attribute will return the text content of an element which exists in the DOM.

element.getAttribute("innerText")

The isDisplayed() method can sometimes trip over when the element is not really hidden but outside the viewport; getText() returns an empty string for such an element.

You can also bring the element into the viewport by scrolling to it using javascript, as follows:

((JavaScriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);

and then getText() should return the correct value.

Details on the isDisplayed() method can be found in this SO question:

How does Selenium WebDriver's isDisplayed() method work

driver.submit()

should work. If the order of the buttons in your DOM is always the same, this should work too:

driver.findElements(By.className("buttonLargeAlt")).get(0).click();

if it is the first buttonLargeAlt button on your page.

The driver is failing to properly terminate the sub processes created by Firefox like flash.

To avoid the dialogue box, you can set the environemnt variable XRE_NO_WINDOWS_CRASH_DIALOG to 1.

I have encountered the same error, which said:

org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

but chromedriver.exe started fine. I can see it in task manager.

My environment is as following,

• windows 7, ultimate, 64 bit system
• selenium-server-standalone-2.47.1
• chromedriver 2.19
• google chrome: 45.0

After many tries suggested in google results, my final solution is to add 127.0.0.1 localhost to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.

Hope to help you!

Since chromedriver 75.0.3770.8 CapabilityType.LOGGING_PREFS is deprecated. Use goog:loggingPrefs instead.

It is better to mark the webdriver as a singleton for the entire framework. I had been currently using this pattern and it works fine.
Note: Care should be taken when dealing with parallel execution.

@CodeEnthusiastic For example take a class GeneralLibrary, in that create a WebDriver.

Extend the classes in Page Object Model with GeneralLibrary as super class

You shoudn't. JQuery selectors offer most of what CSS 2 and CSS 3 selectors do, plus something more, but you can probably live without it. If you know JQuery selectors, you already know CSS selectors.

Use CSS selectors where you can and use XPath expressions where it's not enough (they're stronger). I doubt you'll find many real usages where these two aren't enough (and then, the usual approach is to get what you can and iterate over the collection, filtering the results manually).

That said, you could possibly force WebDriver to accept JQuery selectors, too:

If you only want to support one or two browsers, the easiest way might be to write a simple addon to that browser which would inject JQuery to every page if it's not already present. You'd then force this addon to be used by the browser you're using.

If you want to support all of the browsers, that solution quickly becomes a burden and the best you could do is to write a decorator for WebDriver that would try to inject JQuery into the page before any findElements() and/or executeScript() call, if it's not already present.

See this question to get an idea about injecting JQuery.

After you've injected it, you can use it, again, only via JavaScript:

// earlier
if (driver instanceof JavascriptExecutor) {
    js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
} else {
    throw new IllegalStateException("This driver cannot run JavaScript.");
}

WebElement element = (WebElement)js.executeScript("$('div.account').get(0)");
// or
List<WebElement> elements = (List<WebElement>)js.executeScript("$('div.account').get()");

You can easily wrap those lines into a new By object, or a new findElement(String jQuerySelector) method for your decorated WebDriver, if you want, but that's up to your convenience and laziness, we got it working...

The best approach, I think, would be to create a new By implementation called ByJQuery. See this answer on how to make a ByJavaScript - it's a small step from there to reuse it, inject JQuery into the page and run the actual query.

class ByJQuery extends By implements Serializable {
    private final String query;

    public ByJQuery(String query) {
        checkNotNull(query, "Cannot find elements with a null JQuery expression.");
        this.query = query;
    }

    @Override
    public List<WebElement> findElements(SearchContext context) {
        WebDriver driver = getWebDriverFromSearchContext(context);

        if (!isJQueryInThisPage(driver)) {
            injectJQuery(driver);
        }

        return new ByJavaScript("return $(" + query + ")").findElements(context);
    }

    private static WebDriver getWebDriverFromSearchContext(SearchContext context) {
        if (context instanceof WebDriver) {
            return (WebDriver)context;
        }
        if (context instanceof WrapsDriver) {
            return ((WrapsDriver)context).getWrappedDriver();
        }
        throw new IllegalStateException("Can't access a WebDriver instance from the current search context.");
    }

    private static boolean isJQueryInThisPage(WebDriver driver) {
        // TODO Some JavaScript test for a JQuery object.
    }

    private static void injectJQuery(WebDriver driver) {
        // TODO Load JQuery from a file, inject it into the page via JS.
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "By.jQuery: \"$(" + query + ")\"";
    }
}
