Selenium Webdriver Java Cheat Sheet

Setting up System Properties for browsers

Chrome

System.setProperty(“webdriver.chrome.driver”,

“/path/to/chromedriver”);

Firefox

System.setProperty(“webdriver.gecko.driver”,”/path/to/geckodriver”);

IE

System.setProperty(“webdriver.ie.driver", "Path/to/IEdriver ");

Safari

•   Run the following command from the terminal for the first time and type your password at the prompt to authorize WebDriver

safaridriver --enable

•   Enable the Developer menu from Safari preferences

•   Check the Allow Remote Automation option from with the Develop menu

•   Run the following command from the terminal for the first time and type your password at the prompt to authorize WebDriver

/usr/bin/safaridriver -p 1337<

Initializing the driver

IE

WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

Safari

WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver();

WebDriverManager

Chrome

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();

Firefox

WebDriverManager.firefoxdriver().setup();

IE

WebDriverManager.iedriver().setup();

Browser Navigation

Navigate to

driver.get("https://selenium.dev"); driver.navigate().to("https://selenium.dev");

Get current URL

driver.getCurrentUrl();

Back

driver.navigate().back();

Forward

driver.navigate().forward();

Refresh

driver.navigate().refresh(); 

Handle Windows and tabs

Get window handle of the current window

driver.getWindowHandle();

Get handles of all the

windows opened

driver.getWindlowHandles();

Open a new tab and switches to the new tab

driver.switchTo().newWindow(WindowType.TAB);

Open a new window and switches to new window

driver.switchTo().newWindow(WindowType. WINDOW);

Switch back to old tab or window

driver.switchTo().window(originalWindow);

Closed the current browser window

Close all the windows and

tabs associated with the Webdriver session

driver.quit();

Element Validation

driver.findElement(with(By.tagName("input")) .below(emailAddressField));

toLeftOf()

Locates the element which appears to left of the specified element

driver.findElement(with(By.tagName("button")) .toLeftOf(submitButton));

toRightOf()

Locates the element which appears to left of the specified element

driver.findElement(with(By.tagName("button")).toRightOf(submitButton));

near()

Locates the element which is at most 50px away from the specified element.

driver.findElement(with(By.tagName("input")).near(emailAddressLabel));

WebElements

FindElement

It returns first matching single WebElement reference

When no match has found(0 elements) throws NoSuchElementException

Syntax:

WebElement findElement(By by)

FindElements

It returns a list of all matching WebElements

When no match has found(0 elements) throws emptyLis- tofWebElementObject

Syntax:

List<WebElement> findElements(By by)

Find Element From Element

It is used to find a child element within the context of the parent element

Syntax:

WebElement searchForm

=driver.findElement(By.tagName("form")); WebElement searchBox = searchForm.findElement(By.name("q"));

Find Elements From Element

It is used to find the list of matching child WebElements within the context of the parent element

Get All Cookies

driver.manage().getCookies();

Delete Cookie

driver.manage().deleteCookie(cookie1);

Waits

Implicit wait – An implicit wait is to tell the WebDriver to poll the DOM for a certain amount of time when trying to find an element or elements if they are not immediately available

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Fluent Wait – It defines the maximum amount of time to wait for a certain condition as well as the frequency to check for the condition to appear

Wait<WebDriver> wait = new FluentWait<WebDriver>(driver)

.withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(30))

.pollingEvery(Duration.ofSeconds(5))

.ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);

WebElement foo = wait.until(new Function<WebDriver, WebElement>() { public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) {

return driver.findElement(By.id("foo"));

}

});

Explicit Wait – It is used to wait until a certain condition occurs before proceeding further in the code.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,30); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.name("login")));

Screenshots

TakeScreenshot:

It is used to capture screenshots for the current browsing context

File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE); FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("./image.png"));

TakeElementScreenshot:

It is Used to capture screenshots of an element for the current browsing context.

File scrFile = element.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE); FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("./image.png"));
