I had the similar problem running Selenium Webdriver 2.53.0 with Firefox 47.0. Selenium Webdriver 2.53.0 works with Firefox 46.0. You can find the the mentioned version at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox.
You should probably start your research here (though you may have already gone over this): http://seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.html I’ll assume you’re contrasting Selenium-RC to WebDriver, Selenium-IDE really isn’t in the same ballpark. Selenium uses JavaScript to automate web pages. This lets it interact very tightly with web content, and was one of the first automation tools to … Read more
I also had that problem, but then I made it work by: myInputElm.click(); myInputElm.clear(); myInputElm.sendKeys(‘myString’);
I would trust in Selenium to work out if an element is displayed or not. If it doesn’t work you can raise a bug and/or fix any issues you see and provide a patch. This is what the method does (Taken from the current Selenium source code): /** * Determines whether an element is what … Read more
This might not be the best use of Selenium for this type of test. There is unnecessary need to load a browser when you could do and have a faster running test [Test] [ExpectedException(typeof(WebException), UserMessage = “The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found”)] public void ShouldThrowA404() { HttpWebRequest task; //For Calling the page … Read more
As you mentioned in your question it takes too much time to load the whole page(especially when some resource is unavailable) is pretty much possible if the Application Under Test (AUT) uses JavaScript or AJAX Calls. In your first scenario you have induced both set_page_load_timeout(5) and set_script_timeout(5) set_page_load_timeout(time_to_wait) : Sets the amount of time to … Read more
First of all you don’t need AutoIt, you can just use the windows API. Secondly, Chrome’s basic authentication dialog is not a traditional Window, so you can’t get a handle to it (Try using Spy++). The only reason this would work is if you didn’t bring another window to the foreground prior to the SendKeys … Read more
I agree, you cannot directly switch to a child frame. Also, make sure to switch to the defaultContent (driver.switchTo.defaultContent) every time you want to switch frame. With regard to your example, driver.switchTo().frame(“mainFrame.0.child”) — this could also work, but you need to get rid of unnecessary quotation marks.
((JavascriptExecutor) webDriver).executeScript(“window.focus();”); should do the trick!
I think this is what you are looking for ul/li[contains(text(), “Second”)] and better still ul/li[text() = ‘Second’]
