How to you tell which version of Edge web driver you are using?
I want to use the web driver Microsoft Edge 44.18362.449.0, Microsoft EdgeHTML 18.18363
as instructed here I did this to get the Webdriver
"Install via DISM by running the following command in an elevated command prompt: DISM.exe /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Microsoft.WebDriver~~~~0.0.1.0"
I am using selenium with java, I have tests working with chrome browser selenium and I access the web driver by using .exe file however no .exe file was provided, or I am unaware where it was install. I looked in the directory I was in when I ran the command above and no exe was found.
please advise on how i can connect to the web driver using java and selenium.
You should find the MicrosoftWebDriver.exe' atC:\Windows\System32\MicrosoftWebDriver.exe` as shown in the below screenshot.
Yes, I agree with the suggestion given by #supputuri.
You can also directly reference the path in a code like below. It will also work.
Example:
package selenium_test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
public class new_java_class
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver","C:\\\\Windows\\\\System32\\\\MicrosoftWebDriver.exe");
WebDriver browser = new EdgeDriver();
browser.get("https://microsoft.com");
}
}

Can someone point me to a website or information that discusses how to setup Selenium and write automated scripts? I need to write scripts to test a web based application. I know how to use Java and would like to do that approach.
Thanks
From the description, it looks like you want to automate the MS Edge (Chromium) browser using Selenium web driver.
I suggest you refer to the steps below.
Download the Java binding of Selenium 4.0.0-beta-1 from here.
Download the matching version of Microsoft Edge Driver from this page.
Create a new JAVA project and try to add a reference to the Java binding files by Right-click the project folder-> Build path-> Configure Build path-> Libraries tab-> Add External JARs.
Add the code below to your JAVA project.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeOptions;
public class test {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", "Edge_web_driver_path_here....\\msedgedriver.exe"); //Modify path here...
EdgeOptions edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions();
//edgeOptions.addArguments("-inprivate");
WebDriver driver = new EdgeDriver(edgeOptions);
driver.get("https://Website_URL_here..."); //Modify URL here...
//--------------------------------------
//Your_Automation_code_here....
//--------------------------------------
driver.quit();
}
}
Run the code.

Further, you can try to modify the code example as per your requirements.
I need to test Firefox using an extension. I want to automate the test and visit several websites.
I installed Selenium and it opens in geckodriver. However, the extension is not there. I can install it manually from about:debugging but the problem is that I want the Selenium test to launch the gecko driver while the extension is already there. How to do this? How to install the extension permanently in the geckodriver so it is there when I launch the geckodriver from selenium?
EDIT:
I also tried to install the extension (add it to the browser) from the Firefox extensions websites. It gets added but once I close the gecko window, the extension disappear in the next run. How to install it permanently?
Note: OP didn't specify a language, so this answer is for Python. The other Selenium WebDriver language bindings have similar mechanisms for creating profiles and adding extensions.
You can install the Extension each time you instantiate the driver.
First, download the extension (XPI file) you want from: https://addons.mozilla.org.
Then, in your code... create a FirefoxProfile() and use the add_extension() method to add the extension. Then you can instantiate a driver using that profile.
For example, this will launch Firefox with a newly created profile containing the "HTTPS Everywhere" extension:
from selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.add_extension(extension='https_everywhere-2019.1.31-an+fx.xpi')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
You need to launch geckdriver with an exisitng profile by specifying the profile path of firefox
For python you can do it by this:
profile = FirefoxProfile('/home/student/.mozilla/firefox/gwi6uqpe.Default') // change this path
browser = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
For C# you can do this:
string path = #"C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\myi5go1k.default";
FirefoxProfile ffprofile = new FirefoxProfile(path);
Driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffprofile);
I found that this was warking for me:
from selenium import webdriver
driver_path = r"G:\Libs\geckoDriver\firefox\geckodriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=driver_path)
path = r"G:\Libs\ext\uBlock0_1.38.7b5.firefox.signed.xpi"
driver.install_addon(path, temporary=True)
driver.profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
driver.profile.add_extension(path)
driver.profile.set_preference("security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy", False)
driver.profile.update_preferences()`enter code here`
Reference:
[Python] https://cyruslab.net/2020/08/26/python-adding-extension-to-geckodriver-with-selenium/
You can install an extension/addon permanently within a specific Firefox Profile and use it. To achieve that you need follow the below mentioned steps:
You need to create a new Firefox Profile manually (e.g. FirefoxExtensionProfile) following the instructions at Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows.
Open a Firefox Browsing session manually and invoke the url https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
In the Search Box search for an extension e.g. HTTPS Everywhere.
Click on the search result and install / enable (incase previously installed and currently disabled) the extension.
Now you can use the following Java solution to open the Firefox Profile FirefoxExtensionProfile containing the extension HTTPS Everywhere
Code Block:
package A_MozillaFirefox;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.ProfilesIni;
public class A_FirefoxProfile_dc_opt {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile testprofile = profile.getProfile("FirefoxExtensionProfile");
FirefoxOptions opt = new FirefoxOptions();
opt.setProfile(testprofile);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(opt);
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
}
}

I ran into a problem while working with VS2015 + Ironpython + Selenium:
the ironpython 2.7.7 has pip installed selenium,the scripts:
import os
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from time import sleep
browser = webdriver.Ie()
browser.get('https://stackoverflow.com/')
However,when the scrpts ran to browser = webdriver.Ie(), it throws a exception:
Message: The executable IEDriverServer.exe needs to be available in
the path.
I try to put the IEDriverServer.exe to many paths including the ironpython's install path,the script's root path,the system32 folder,etc,but can't solve this problem.
PS:python2.7 with selenium can work properly,so did C# with selenium.but I just want try ironpython with selenium,that's the point
Put the IEDriverServer.exe any where within your system and mention the absolute path of the IEDriverServer.exe as follows :
from selenium import webdriver
browser=webdriver.Ie(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\IEDriverServer.exe')
browser.get('https://stackoverflow.com/')
There is an existing question for the same problem but that question was not completely answered, so posting new question.
I am new to selenium and trying to execute the very basic script, but getting the compilation errors. I am using Eclipse Oxygen 4.7.2 and Selenium 3.8.1. I have added all the necessary Jar files and used the Geckodriver as well, still i am getting errors. Below are the error messages in the console window:
**"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
package automationFramework;

// Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
//Launch the Online Store Website
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
// Print a Log In message to the screen
System.out.println("Successfully opened the website www.google.com");
//Wait for 5 Sec
Thread.sleep(5000);
// Close the driver
driver.quit();
}
}
WebDriver cannot be resolved to a type

Can anybody tell me what mistake i am doing ? Attaching screenshots. Webdriver Error.png JAr Files in Selenium 3.8.1
The problem is about file permission. I guess you are using Mac or Linux and the default permission of the library doesn't allow Eclipse to read it. What you need is going to the directory in Terminal and then use sudo chmod to change the permission.
sudo chmod -R 755 ./
Then you may need to restart Eclipse.
I would like to know if it's possible to run a WebDriver test in Java using just a plain text editor, Firefox browser, Java SDK and WebDriver JAR?
I am trying to come up with the most "bare-metal" way to run a test without adding Test Runners, Test Frameworks, Dependency Managers into the mix.
I understand that this is not the "right" way to do things, but I am trying to find a way to create a new kind of WebDriver tutorial that will focus only on the API.
I am using OS X right now but instructions for Windows would be equally appreciated.
Running WebDriver is as simple as
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
}
}
The only thing that you need is a correct classpath, which is just selenium-java-2.38.0.jar and supporting libraries, namely: guava-15.0.jar json-20080701.jar commons-exec-1.1.jar httpcore-4.3.jar httpclient-4.3.1.jar commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
Or, as per JimEvans, you can download standalone selenium-server-standalone-2.40.0.jar that has all dependencies included.
Firstly record and run the script you want to do then export it as junit4 test suite and save. Second copy the full code and aste it in eclipse then you can get the option "Run as junit4 test" while running code.
