UPDATE:
I'm having the same issue after updated to 2.29 its like on and off its very inconsistency that's the frustration part.
UPDATE END:
Selenium WebDriver 2.25 version.
Browser: FF (17.0.1 version) & IE (8)
The one most single thing annoying/driving me crazy is about stale elements and I'm still not sure how can my test cases be run passed all the time; some times my test cases passed and some times failed and I'm using CSSSelector to find the element but still on/off my test cases failed....
here is what I'm using to find the element.
here is my code in C#
public class WebDriverUtil
{
public static IWebDriver driver = StartBrowser();
private static FirefoxProfile _ffp;
private static IWebDriver _driver;
private static IWebDriver StartBrowser()
{
switch (Common.BrowserSelected)
{
case "ff":
_ffp = new FirefoxProfile();
_ffp.AcceptUntrustedCertificates = true;
_driver = new FirefoxDriver(_ffp);
break;
case "ie":
var options = new InternetExplorerOptions();
options.IntroduceInstabilityByIgnoringProtectedModeSettings = true;
_driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(options);
_driver.Manage().Timeouts().SetPageLoadTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2));
break;
case "chrome":
//_driver = new ChromeDriver();
break;
}
return _driver;
}
public static IWebElement WaitForElement(By by)
{
var wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
return wait.Until(drv => drv.FindElement(by));
}
}
public class TestCaseEmployee: WebDriverUtil
{
public static bool EmployeeCase()
{
//....
WaitForElement(By.LinkText("Select All Employee")).Click(); //<<< see error below
}
}
//error message:
Test 'M:TestCases.TestCaseEmployee' failed: No response from server for url http://localhost:7056/hub/session/79b742cf-e1dc-4016-bdbb-c2de93cd8fa4/element
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: No response from server for url http://localhost:7056/hub/session/79b742cf-e1dc-4016-bdbb-c2de93cd8fa4/element
at OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.DefaultWait`1.PropagateExceptionIfNotIgnored(Exception e)
at OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.DefaultWait`1.Until[TResult](Func`2 condition)

I had the same problem and solve in this way:
a) avoid methods like 'do wity retry' to manipulate IWebElements, because in this way the tests take to many time to run, is unnecessary and tests fails intermittently.
b) downgrade the Firefox version to 5 (maybe from FF 3.6 until 6 works fine, but the new versions of FF throws an intermittent exception like 'No response from hub/session...'
c) if you need to handle elements in your test that is loaded via Ajax on page, be sure to provide a js function that you can stop element load, so you should call this function from WebDdriver before FindElement and do what you want.

My XML file doesn't seem to be pushing the values to my code. Causing my tests to be skipped

I am setting up test cases for practice and trying to feed the parameters from an XML file for the website url, and the desired browser if available. The Switch logic, and webdriver commands look solid, but maybe i missed something that makes it skip them entirely. Should output that login was successful on both occasions.
In the past I've simply fed the data in as variables, this is my first try with xml handling the data injection.
public class NewTest {
WebDriver driver;
#Test(dataProvider="getData")
public void login(String username,String password)
{
//Code to Login to the application
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id=\'myNavbar\']/ul/li[4]/a")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("usernameLogin")).sendKeys(username);
driver.findElement(By.id("passwordLogin")).sendKeys(password);
driver.findElement(By.id("login")).click();
try
{
//verifying the presence of webelement
````````````````````````````````````````````
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.id("topMenu2")));
System.out.println("login success");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Login failure");
}
driver.findElement(By.id("topMenu2")).click();
}
#DataProvider
public Object[][]getData() {
Object[][]data=new Object[2][2];
data[0][0]="pgGru";
data[0][1]="freezeray";
data[1][0]="pgAlmacho";
data[1][1]="freezeray";
return data;
}
#BeforeSuite
#Parameters({ "browsername", "url" })
public void setup(#Optional("Firefox")String browsername,String url) {
switch (browsername) {
case "IE":
WebDriver driver1;
driver1 = new InternetExplorerDriver();
System.setProperty("webdriver.IEDriverServer.driver", "D:\\Jarrrs\\Drivers\\IEDriverServer_win32");
driver1.get(url);
break;
case "Firefox":
WebDriver driver2;
driver2 = new FirefoxDriver();
System.setProperty("webdriver.geckodriver.driver","D:\\Jarrrs\\Drivers\\gecfkoDriver_win32");
driver2.get(url);
break;
case "chrome":
WebDriver driver3;
driver3 = new ChromeDriver();
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver, ","D:\\Jarrrs\\Drivers\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
driver3.get(url);
break;
}
}
#AfterSuite
public void tearDown() {
driver.quit();
}
}
Right now the output is it is skipping the test cases for login and password
Expecting two passed or failed tests. Either one would be nice.
Newbie here. What do you mean by test is skipping? Are the actions within login() not being executed? I would put sys.out statements withing login() to check if the code is getting executed. How about adding a pause after page load? How about adding hardcoded value to username and password field to check if it is working fine?
Some times certain fields cannot be set by using Selenium's sendkeys. Need to use JavascriptExecutor to set the field values

C # + NUnit + Selenium Grid - parallel launch of several browsers on one node

Use:
C# + WebDriver+NUnit + Grid,
Implementation using Page Object+Page Factory,
WebDriver 3.4.0,
Nunit 3.5.0,
Google Chrome Driver 2.36,
Mozilla Geckodrive 0.20.0,
last updated Chrome and FF browsers
I'm trying to learn how to implement parallel test runs. Now the task is next: running one TestFixture on node in two different browsers simultaneously. I'm doing like this:
[TestFixture("chrome")]
[TestFixture("firefox")]
[Parallelizable(ParallelScope.Fixtures)]
public class LoginTests : BaseObject
{
public LoginTests(string browser)
{
DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
capability.SetCapability("browserName", browser);
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://192.168.1.63:5555/wd/hub"), capability);
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(baseUrl);
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
}
private static LoginPageHelper LoginPageHelper = new LoginPageHelper();
[Test]
public static void LoginOnMailru()
{
string email = "test.account.damir#mail.ru";
string password = "q123123a";
LoginPageHelper.
DoLogin(email, password);
}
}
After performing: run 2 browsers at the same time (chrome and FF). The test passed completely in the FF browser. Chrome executed only driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(baseUrl) and an error appears
Test name: SendingMailTestForLQ.Tests.LoginTests("chrome").LoginOnMailru
Result: OpenQA.Selenium.NoSuchElementException : Could not find element by: By.Id: mailbox:submit
What I'm doing wrong, why there is an error "Could not find element by: By.Id: mailbox:submit"? Thanks!
P.S. Sorry for my English.

How to handle browser invocation in parallel tests using TestNG

I have been using browser invocation in #Beforeclass TestNG method using the parameter passed from testng.xml. Once the browser is invoked, I am using login test in a #BeforeMethod which is required for all the other #Tests to start. But with this setup, I am unable to run the tests in parallel. I am seeing one browser is open and login tests which is required by both tests are run in same browser and fails. All my tests are in single class file. Code structure is as below:
public class MainTest {
WebDriver driver;
BrowserFactory browser;
ReadData crmdatafile;
#BeforeClass(alwaysRun = true)
public void setup(ITestContext context) throws Exception{
ClassLoader classLoader = getClass().getClassLoader();
File file = new File(classLoader.getResource("datafile.txt").getFile());
crmdatafile = new ReadData(file.getAbsolutePath());
browser = new BrowserFactory(context.getCurrentXmlTest().getParameter("Selenium.browser"));
driver = browser.getNewBrowser();
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
driver.get(crmdatafile.data.get("enviornment", "url"));
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
#BeforeMethod()
public void login(){
System.out.println("contains the code for login which needs to be run before every test");
}
#AfterMethod
public void afterEachTest(ITestResult result) throws IOException {
driver.close();
}
#Test
public void Test1() {
System.out.println("Will run login and next steps");
}
#Test
public void Test2() {
System.out.println("Will run login and next steps");
}
public class BrowserFactory {
private WebDriver driver;
private String browser;
public BrowserFactory(String browser) {
String brow=browser.trim().toLowerCase();
if(!(brow.equals("firefox") || brow.equals("ff") || brow.equals("internetexplorer") || brow.equals("ie") || brow.equals("chrome") || brow.equals("gc"))) {
browser="ie";
}
this.browser = browser;
}
public WebDriver getNewBrowser() {
String brow = browser.trim().toLowerCase();
if(brow.equals("firefox") || brow.equals("ff")) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "drivers\\geckodriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
return driver;
}else if(brow.equals("internetexplorer") || brow.equals("ie")){
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
return driver;
}else if(brow.equals("chrome") || brow.equals("gc")){
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("test-type");
capabilities.setCapability("webdriver.chrome.binary","drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
return driver;
}
return null;
}
How can I improve the above structure to run tests in parallel and using a different browser for each test?
Your test code has some issues.
You are instantiating a webdriver instance in your #BeforeClass annotated method and that is being shared by all your #Test annotated test methods. You are also invoking driver.close() in an #AfterMethod annotated method.This is a recipe for disaster because AFAIK driver.close() is equivalent to driver.quit() if you are having only one web browser instance. So what this means is that your second test method will not have a valid browser (if you are running sequentially).
If you are running in parallel, then all your test methods are going to be competing for the same browser, which is now going to cause race conditions and test failures.
You should ideally speaking move the logic of your setup() method into a listener which implements IInvokedMethodListener interface and then have this listener inject the webdriver instances into a ThreadLocal variable, which your #Test methods can then query.
You can refer to my blog post which talks in detail on how to do this.
Please check if that helps.
Here is the thing, as far as I can see you're not using annotations right and (probaly) testNG as well.
If you want to create browser instance before each test you may want to use #BeforeTest annotation. Also you may perform your test set up in this method as well. #BeforeClass annotation will be executed only once before this particular class will be executed.
It's a good idea to split tests that do different things into separate test files, case your tests do almost the same, but say params for tests are different - it's a good idea to use #DataProvider. Otherwise maybe you may want to extend your basic test with setup.
If you just want to re-execute same tests, but with different browser - consider relaunching your test job with different params or using #DataProvider as described above.
As far as I remember there are several ways to run testNG in parallel: Methods, Classes, Tests, Instances - figure out which one you need and which one works better with your setup.

IEDriver implementation fails the test

I am using Webdriver(without IEDriver implementation) 2.23 API on windows7 machine with JDK7 and JRE7. The test scripts are working fine as expected but when i introduced IEDriver the script fails in a page with cannot click on element error message as that corresponding element is not visible. i have double checked with my application for the locator. The same can be clicked with out IEDriver implementation. I have tried by simulating all the click types including context click by Action class. No use. All click types returns the same result. Any help ?
Finally, i was manage to click the above said Element with the help of following code.
WebElement we = driver.findElement(By.name("Complete"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", we); // common for all we
The real source is here. This may helpful for someone.
As you say that the element is actually visible and the error's log says it is not, I think that the problem might be due to Internet Explorer's slowness. You could use this method for a quick test:
boolean isElementDisplayed(final WebDriver driver, final WebElement element, final int timeoutInSeconds) {
try {
ExpectedCondition condition = new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
#Override
public Boolean apply(final WebDriver webDriver) {
return element.isDisplayed();
}
};
Wait w = new WebDriverWait(driver, timeoutInSeconds);
w.until(condition);
} catch (Exception ex) {
//if you get here, it's because the element is not displayed after timeoutInSeconds
return false;
}
return true;
}
Use it like this:
WebElement we = driver.findElement(By.name("Complete"));
if (isElementDisplayed(driver, we, 30)) {
we.click();
}
This will make the driver wait (30 sec max.) till the element we becomes visible and then the driver clicks on it.
If it works, then my supposition is right and you could change the method for:
void clickOn(final WebDriver driver, final WebElement element, final int timeoutInSeconds) {
try {
ExpectedCondition condition = new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
#Override
public Boolean apply(final WebDriver webDriver) {
element.click();
return true;
}
};
Wait w = new WebDriverWait(driver, timeoutInSeconds);
w.until(condition);
} catch (Exception ex) {
//probably some kind of exception thrown here
}
return;
}
and use it instead of we.click(), like:
WebElement we = driver.findElement(By.name("Complete"));
clickOn(driver, we, 30);
The code above is an approximation to let you check your issue in a quick and clear way and, if you end up using it, you should adapt it to your structure of code. This kind of utility code should never appear in your tests. Your test code should be clean and the same for all the environments (browsers, version, SOs, etc.). Keep the workarounds separately, e.g. some kind of util package.
Also, the method's signature is 'overweight'. Restructuring your util code, you should be able to write in your tests just this: clickOn(element).
Hope it helps ;)
UPDATE Actually, with these components I had never run into a similar problem:
selenium-server-standalone version 2.32.0
IEDriverServer_x64_2.30.1.exe

Alert doesn't close using Selenium WebDriver with Google Chrome.

I have the following Selenium script for opening alert on rediff.com:
public class TestC {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, Exception {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "driver/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://www.rediff.com/");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='signin_info']/a[1]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("btn_login")).click();
Thread.sleep(5000);
Alert alert=driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.accept();
}
}
This very same script is working fine in Firefox and IE9, however using Google Chrome after opening the alert, rest of the code is not working. The main thing is that does not shows any exception, error or anything.
Please provide any solution as soon as possible.
Thanks a lot!
Note: If we need to change any setting of browser or any thing please let me know.
Selenium version:Selenium(2) Webdriver
OS:Windows 7
Browser:Chrome
Browser version:26.0.1410.64 m
I'm pretty sure your problem is a very common one, that's why i never advise using Thread.sleep(), since it does not guarantee the code will run only when the Alert shows up, also it may add up time to your tests even when the alert is shown.
The code below should wait only until some alert is display on the page, and i'd advise you using this one Firefox and IE9 aswell.
public class TestC {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, Exception {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "driver/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 5);
driver.get("http://www.rediff.com/");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='signin_info']/a[1]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("btn_login")).click();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.accept();
}
}
Mostly all that is done here, is changing Thread.sleep(), for a condition that actually will only move forward on the code as soon a alert() is present in the page. As soon as someone does, it wil switch to it and accept.
You can find the Javadoc for the whole ExpectedConditions class here.
Unfortunately AlertIsPresent doesn't exist in C# API
http://selenium.googlecode.com/git/docs/api/dotnet/index.html
You can use something like this:
private static bool TryToAcceptAlert(this IWebDriver driver)
{
try
{
var alert = driver.SwitchTo().Alert();
alert.Accept();
return true;
}
catch (Exception)
{
return false;
}
}
public static void AcceptAlert(this IWebDriver driver, int timeOutInSeconds = ElementTimeout)
{
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(timeOutInSeconds)).Until(
delegate { return driver.TryToAcceptAlert(); }
);
}
