Selenium how to manage wait for page load?

To wait for document.readyState to be complete isn’t a full proof approach to ensure presence, visibility or interactibility of an element. Hence, the function: JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver.getWebDriver(); String result = js.executeScript(“return document.readyState”).toString(); if (!result.equals(“complete”)) { Thread.sleep(1000) } } And even waiting for jQuery.active == 0: public void WaitForAjax2Complete() throws InterruptedException { while (true) … Read more

Which is the best and fastest way to find the element using webdriver? By.XPath or By.ID or anything else? And why? [closed]

Finding elements by ID is usually going to be the fastest option, because at its root, it eventually calls down to document.getElementById(), which is optimized by many browsers. Finding elements by XPath is useful for finding elements using very complex selectors, and is the most flexible selection strategy, but it has the potential to be … Read more

Is it Firefox or Geckodriver, which creates “rust_mozprofile” directory

Selenium Webdriver – click on hidden elements

Try this: WebElement elem = yourWebDriverInstance.findElement(By.xpath(“//*[@class=”goog-menu goog-menu-vertical uploadmenu density-tiny”]/input”)); String js = “arguments[0].style.height=”auto”; arguments[0].style.visibility=’visible’;”; ((JavascriptExecutor) yourWebDriverInstance).executeScript(js, elem); The above bunch would change the visibility of your file input control.

What is the difference between a CSS and XPath selector? And which is better with respect to performance for cross-browser testing?

CSS selectors perform far better than XPath selectors, and it is well documented in Selenium community. Here are some reasons: XPath engines are different in each browser, hence making them inconsistent Internet Explorer does not have a native XPath engine, and therefore Selenium injects its own XPath engine for compatibility of its API. Hence we … Read more
