How to use afterGetCssValue method of org.openqa.selenium.support.events.Interface WebDriverListener class

Your variable represents something you want to do with a web element (in this case, click on it).

The appropriate type for that is not String. Use a Consumer<WebElement> instead (or whatever the type of what driver.findElement() returns is):

Consumer<WebElement> command = e -> e.click();

// ...

command.accept(driver.findElement(By.id("id1")));

This is type-safe, efficient, refactorable, and much more flexible than reflection (since your consumer can do whatever it wants with the element, not limited to a single method call without any argument. Like for example, enter some text in a text field)

Try this

import java.awt.Robot;

And use

Robot r = new Robot();
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

This will press Enter Programatically.

Along the lines of:

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Click ME"));
js.executeScript("arguments[0].setAttribute('attr', '10')",element);

Just the other day i've answered something similar to this so it's still fresh. The reason your code is failing is if the alert is not shown by the time the code is processed it will mostly fail.

Thankfully, the guys from Selenium WebDriver have a wait already implemented for it. For your code is as simple as doing this:

String alertText = "";
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 5);
// This will wait for a maximum of 5 seconds, everytime wait is used

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[text() = \"Edit\"]")).click();//causes page to alert() something

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
// Before you try to switch to the so given alert, he needs to be present.

Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alertText = alert.getText();
alert.accept();

return alertText;

You can find all the API from ExpectedConditions here, and if you want the code behind this method here.

This code also solves the problem because you can't return alert.getText() after closing the alert, so i store in a variable for you.

Write a method like this:

protected boolean isAlertPresent() {
        try {
          driver.switchTo().alert();
          return true;
        } catch (NoAlertPresentException e) {
          return false;
        }
      }

Call the above method to verify whether alert is present or not as below:

if(isAlertPresent()){
            System.out.println(isAlertPresent());
            driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
        }

<div class="dd algo algo-sr Sr" data-937="5d1abd07c5a33">
<div class="dd algo algo-sr fst Sr" data-0ab="5d1abd837d907">

Above 2 are the HTML elements in yahoo search results. So if we wanna get these elements using partial class name with selenium python, here is the solution.

driver.find_element_by_css_selector("div[class^='dd algo algo-sr']")

In the same way we can get any elements with partial match on any attribute values like class name, id etc.

find elements with css selector partial match on attribute values

The easy way is to just change @Test to @Test(singleThreaded=true). If you do, all of the tests in your class will run sequentially in a single thread.

Or

If you want to be explicit about the order that the tests should run in, you can use the annotation @dependsOnMethods

public void orange(){}

@Test(dependsOnMethods = { "orange" })
public void apple(){}

@Test(dependsOnMethods = { "apple" })
public void mango(){}

This is also nice if you want some, but not all, of the methods in a class to run sequentially.

You can't test if the HTTP status code is 404. This is explained in this other thread. The only way is to test for something in the page which can only be in your 404 error page. For instance:

assertTrue(driver.getTitle().contains("404"));

If you're not sure that your page contains something specific like 404 or Page not found. You could generate from the server a special tag code (e.g. a <meta> tag in the <head> section) and test for it with the WebDriver.

well. That's not a problem. I'd like to share how i resolved this issue. I got VM (virtual machine) with jdk installed and selenium server running on VM. VM has IP: 192.168.4.52 I connected to it through(RDC-remote desktop connection). Installed needed browser on it(firefox 15). Open browser. Disabled all the updates and other pop ups.

I've got selenium tests pack on my local machine. And I run them on my VM. Selenium setup is following:

import com.google.common.base.Function;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestBase;
import junit.framework.Assert;
import org.junit.AfterClass;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.FluentWait;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Wait;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer;
import org.springframework.core.io.support.PropertiesLoaderUtils;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.NoSuchElementException;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;


public class BaseSeleniumTest extends SeleneseTestBase {
    static WebDriver driver;


    @Value("login.base.url")
    private String loginBaseUrl;

    @BeforeClass
    public static void firefoxSetUp() throws MalformedURLException {

//        DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
        DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();

        driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://192.168.4.52:4444/wd/hub"), capability);


//        driver = new FirefoxDriver();  //for local check

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1920, 1080));
    }
    @Before
    public void openFiretox() throws IOException {



        driver.get(propertyKeysLoader("login.base.url"));


    }


    @AfterClass
    public static void closeFirefox(){
        driver.quit();
    }

.....

this piece of code will run all the selenium tests on remote machine. in the string driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://192.168.4.52:4444/wd/hub"), capability); you simply should mention IP of your machine and this should work.

Hope this helps you.
