Selenium Cheat Sheet

Selenium: Creating Driver

3	chrome Driver	System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",PATH); WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();	PATH = path of chrome exe file;

Selenium: Identify Elements

Slno	Action	Code	Description
1	Find single Element	driver.findElement(locator)	Locator is a location of element
2	Find multiple Elements	driver.findElements(locator)	Locator is a location of element

Selenium:Locating UI Elements

Slno	Action	Code	Description
1	By ID	driver.findElement(By.id(str));	Str  is id of element
2	By Name	driver.findElement(By.name(str));	Str  is name of element
3	By class name	driver.findElement(By.className(str));	Str  is class value of element
4	By css selector	driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(str));	Str  is cssSelector of element
5	By link text	driver.findElement(By.linkText(str));	Str  is link text of element
6	By partial link text	driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText(str));	Str  is partial text of element
7	By tag name	driver.findElement(By.tagName(str));	Str  is tag name of element
8	By XPath	driver.findElement(By.xpath(xpath));	Str  is xpath of element

Selenium: User Actions

Slno	Action	Code	Description
1	Write in text fields	driver.findElement(locator).sendKeys(text);	Text: what u want to write locator is a location element
2	Click button or click radio button or check check box	driver.findElement(locator).click();	locator is a location element
3	Clear text in text field	driver.findElement(locator).clear();	locator is a location element
4	Navigate back and forward in browser	driver.navigate().back(); driver.navigate().forward();
5	Navigate to frame	driver.switchTo().frame(frame);	frame can be integer value represents position of frame or string  represents id of frame or WebElement represents frame of frame.
6	Navigate to next window or pop up window	driver.switchTo().window(hashCode);	hashCode is hash code of window
7	Get inner text of element or inner text of table	driver.findElement(locator).getText();	locator is a location element

Selenium:  Drag, Drop and Mouse Over, Mouse Events

We use Actions Class for drag and drop

1^st Create an object to action class

Actions act = new Actions(driver);

There are 2 ways to do drag and drop

slno	Action	Code	description
1	Drag and Drop using source and destination	act.dragAndDrop(src, des).build().perform();	Src and dest is the webElement object of source and destination of drag and drop element.
2	Drag and Drop to specific position	act.dragAndDropBy(src, x,y).build().perform();	x and y are integer values for specific position.
3	Mouse over on specific element.	act.moveToElement(element).build().perform();	Element is an object of WebElement which points to required element.
4	Mouse right click	act.contextClick(element).build().perform();	Element is an object of WebElement which points to required element.
5	Mouse movement after right click	act.sendKeys(Keys.<keyboardstrokes>).build().perform();	Keys is a class contains all key strokes such as right left, enter, back button etc

Selenium: File Download

To automate file download in fire fox we have to do following steps:

1.     Set the path where to download.

2.     Set browser preferences not to ask confirmation.

1.     Set the path where to download

For this we have set browser.download.folderList preference to integer value. The values are

0 ------ to save in desktop

1 ------ Save in downloads folder in your computer

 2 ----- User defined path

If the value is 2 then we have to set browser.download.dir preferences to path of specific folder.

      

2.     Set browser preferences not to ask confirmation

The browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk preference to be set to the MIME Type of file, we need to download.

1^st we need to create fire fox profile for browser by creating object to FirefoxProfile:

    FirefoxProfile prof = new FirefoxProfile();

Slno	Action	Code	Description
1	Set browser.download.folderList	prof.setPreference("browser.download.folderList",integerVal);	Use object created for fire fox profile and integerVal is 0 or 1 or 2 based location where you want to save.
2	Set browser.download.dir	prof.setPreference("browser.download.dir", "d:\\");	If integerVal in above code is 2 then set the path where you need to download the file.
3	Set browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk	prof.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", MimeType);	MimeType is MIME type of file
4	Use profile created to create driver	WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(prof);

Selenium:  Handling Java Script Alerts

To handle alert first we need to switch to alert.

Alert al = driver.switchTo().alert();

The Actions list.

slno	Action	code
1	Click on ok in alert	al.accept();
2	Click on cancel.	al.dismiss()
3	Type in alert box.	al.sendKeys(“hi”);
4	Get text from alert box.	al.getText();

Selenium: Handling Un Trusted Certificate Exception

The below code used to handle un trusted certificate exception.

FirefoxProfile prof = new FirefoxProfile(); //create firefox profile

prof.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);    

prof.setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer(true);

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(prof);

Selenium: Capture Screen Shot of Browser

Slno	Action	Code	Description
1	Capture screen	File scrFile1 = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);	It captures screen shot of particular page and stores it in variable
2	Save to disk	FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile1, new File("c:\\tmp\\k2.png"));	Save screen shot as k2.png

Selenium: Work on drop down list (select drop down list)

Using Select class we can work on select drop down. Create select object for specific select drop down.

WebElement usrs = driver.findElement(By.name("users"));  //create WebElement for select drop down

  Select usr = new Select(usrs);

We can select options of drop down in 3 different ways as explained below

slno	Action	code	description
1	Select by using id of option tag	usr.selectById(id);	Id is string, value of id attribute of option.
2	Select by using index of option tag	usr.selectByIndex(i);	I is the position of option
3	Select by using visible text in option tag	usr.selectByVisibleText(str)	str is the text inside option tag.
