🚀 Selenium Commands

Start with Initialise the WebDriver

1: Open a URL

driver.get("https://google.com")

• This launches the Browser which is initialized

2: Get Current URL as Text

driver.getCurrentUrl()

• Get the Current Page URL as String.

3: Get the Title

driver.getTitle()

• Get the Title of the Current Page.

4: Get Window Handle

driver.getWindowHandle();

• Useful when we have Multiple Windows to Handle
• Returns String( window hash code)
• Useful to switch to other window.

String mainWindow = driver.getWindowHandle();
            driver.switchTo().window(mainWindow);

5: Get Window Handles

driver.getWindowHandles();

• Useful when we have Multiple Windows to Handle
• Returns Array of windows( window hash code)
• Useful to switch to other window.

Set<String> handles= driver.getWindowHandles();         driver.switchTo().window(“”windowName);

java

6: DropDown Handling: Select Class
- Use to work with Select Tag

Select selectByValue = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("SelectID")));
selectByValue.selectByVisibleText(“Pramod”);
selectByValue.selectByValue(“Dutta”);

7: Select an element by Index

selectByValue.selectByIndex(2);

8: Input text in the input box.

driver.findElement(By.id("tinymce")).sendKeys("Hello Pramod");

9: Submit the form

        driver.findElement(By.id("tinymce")).submit();

10: Switch to Iframe

driver.get("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/iframe");
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.switchTo().frame("mce_0_ifr");

11: Close and quit the browser

        driver.quit();
        driver.close();

12: Check whether the element is enabled or disabled.
isEnabled()

driver.findElement(By.id("tinymce")).isEnabled();

13: Get the text of the element

driver.findElement(By.id("tinymce")).getText();

14: Find element size

        int width = driver.findElement(By.id("tinymce")).getSize().width;

15: What is pageLoadTimeout?

Selenium defines different timeouts and wait for mechanisms. One of the timeouts is focused on the time a webpage needs to be loaded – the pageLoadTimeout limits the time that the script allows for a web page to be displayed.
Syntax. : pageLoadTimeout(time,unit)

```java driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(500, SECONDS);

16: Wait Until and visibilityOfElementLocated.


```java
     WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 40);
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("tinymce")));

java

17: alertIsPresent()

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 300 /*timeout in seconds*/);
if(wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent())==null)
    System.out.println("alert was not present");
else
    System.out.println("alert was present");

18: Navigate to, back, forward within Browser.

```java driver.navigate().to("https://scrolltest.com”);
driver.navigate().back();
driver.navigate().forward();

19: getScreenshotAs() To Take Screenshot in Selenium.


```java
 TakesScreenshot scrShot =((TakesScreenshot)driver);
        File SrcFile=scrShot.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
        File DestFile=new File("./b.png");
        FileUtils.copyFile(SrcFile, DestFile);

20: moveToElement
Action class

Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
                Action mouseOverHome = builder
                        .moveToElement(link_Home)
                        .build();

21: dragAndDrop()
We can automate drag and drop of such elements using Selenium Webdriver.

Actions act=new Actions(driver);                    

    //Dragged and dropped.      
         act.dragAndDrop(From, To).build().perform();   

22: Alert switchTo() and accept(), dismiss()

driver.switchTo().alert().dismiss();
driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
driver.switchTo().alert().getText();            
driver.switchTo().alert().sendKeys("Text");

23: POI to read excel
Recommenced to Read - https://mkyong.com/java/apache-poi-reading-and-writing-excel-file-in-java/

24: Database connection

DriverManager.getConnection(URL, "username", "password" )

25: Asserts with Junit.

Assert.assertNotEquals(message, “This text”);
        Assert.assertTrue(result<0);
        Assert.assertFalse(result<0);
        Assert.assertEquals(message, “This text”);

26: quit()

// Quit Driver.
        driver.quit();

27: Clear Input box

driver.findElement(By.id("User")).clear();

28: Click an element

driver.findElement(By.id("User")).click();

29: getSize() of element

 int width = driver.findElement(By.id("tinymce")).getSize().width;
