I have the code written for selenium, but I do not know how to make selenium read the code. I know that you have to put it in a certain folder somewhere though. I have never used this program or anything like it before. I just need to know how to make selenium read my code. I have no idea what I'm doing here.
public class GoogleTest {
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
String baseUrl = "google.com";;
Selenium selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, baseUrl);
selenium.open("google.com");
selenium.type("name=q", "cheese");
selenium.click("name=btnG");
WebDriver driverInstance = ((WebDriverBackedSelenium) selenium).getUnderlyingWebDriver();
}
You need to write the following line before creating the driver object:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:/path/to/chrome/driver/chrome.exe");
Try following code in same order:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
String baseUrl = "google.com";;
Selenium selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, baseUrl);
.
.
You may need to download the chrome driver as well.

Placing geckodriver in resources and mapping it works on the machine am working on, but not on any other machine. i need it to export it to other machines, so that i am creating a jar which i need to run on any other machine, but when running the jar on other machine is throwing out "The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.gecko.driver system property" error.
public static WebDriver createDriver()
{
WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver();
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "./src/main/resources/geckodriver");
driver = new FirefoxDriver(FirefoxDriverProfile());
driver.manage().window().maximize();
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
return driver;
[Please take a look at the image]

It seems that you're missing the file extension.
The following works for me using relative file paths:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", ".\\WebDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
Edit: Have you tried to swap the order of these two lines?
Unless I'm mistaken, the system property should be set prior to the creation of the WebDriver.
WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver();
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "./src/main/resources/geckodriver");
Should be
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "./src/main/resources/geckodriver");
WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver();
You can set it like:-
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", new File("./src/main/resources/geckodriver").getCanonicalPath());
I need your help to set up my Firefox profile with Firebug. What I'd like to have is to have the Firebug add-on to be loaded with the Firefox instance when I start it via Selenium WebDriver. Here is sample of my code:
final File file = new File("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Gecko\\bin\\geckodriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("?");
So... how can I set the setPreference value, so that Firebug is loaded together with Firefox when the Selenium WebDriver starts the browser?
You have to add the extension instead of setting the preference:
final String firebugPath = "C:\\FF_Profile\\firebug.xpi";
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addExtension(new File(firebugPath));
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
You can find the Firebug path following this instructions:

Here is the code:
// Tell cucumber where the geckodriver is located in your environment
final File file = new File("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Gecko\\bin\\geckodriver.exe");
// Get the absolute path to the Gecko Driver
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
final String firebugPath= "C:\\Users\\<My username>\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles\\erx927l4.default\\extension s\\firebug#software.joehewitt.com.xpi";
// Set up the Firefox browser profile
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addExtension(new File(firebugPath));
// bring up the browser
driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
I tried to add these codes to the comments section but it won't let me format the text so I have to post them in the "Post Your Answer" section.. sorry
I am a new user of Selenium. I want to use it to start up the Chrome browser but I have a problem.
public static void processor(String url, String name) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:/Documents and Settings/jingxiong/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Chrome/Application/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get(url);
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name(name));
element.sendKeys("google");
element.submit();
System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
driver.quit();
}
When I run this example the Chrome browser starts ok but without configured plugins, my settings or bookmarks. What should I do to cause it load these?
Thank you.
You should first read chromedriver document in selenium wiki. Its available here - http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver
As mentioned in the wiki:-
Similarly, to load an extension when Chrome starts:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability("chrome.switches", Arrays.asList("--load-extension=/path/to/extension/directory"));
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
I am using the code from this site (http://darrellgrainger.blogspot.com/2011/02/using-selenium-20-with-webdriver-and.html) to run Selenium tests in Safari 5. The code goes like this:
Selenium sel = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*safari", baseURL);
CommandExecutor executor = new SeleneseCommandExecutor(sel);
DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities();
WebDriver browser = new RemoteWebDriver(executor, dc);
browser.get("http://www.google.com");
WebElement input = browser.findElement(By.name("q"));
input.sendKeys("Selenium");
So I start a Selenium server standalone version on the localhost machine and I register a test node (also on localhost) to the Selenium hub. Then I start the test. I then get the following exception: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Could not start Selenium session: org%2Eopenqa%2Egrid%2Ecommon%2Eexception%2EGridException%3A+Error+forwarding+the+new+session+The+server+returned+an+error+%3A+
I don't know what error. There is no server output on the console. Does anyone have ideas? I used the newest version (2.17.0) of Selenium.
EDIT: I just tried "firefox" instead of safari and it outputs the same exception. So actually it's not the fault of safari. Maybe there is something wrong with executing Selenium 1 code via the grid?
Try This:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setBrowserName("safari");
capabilities.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
CommandExecutor executor = new SeleneseCommandExecutor(new URL("http://localhost:5555/"), new URL("http://www.google.com/"), capabilities);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(executor, capabilities);
driver.get("http://google.com");
Don't create DefaultSelenium object. The above code works well for me with Safari browser.
I'm very new to selenium so I'm having trouble spotting the problem with my code. I'm using a webDriver backed selenium object, it starts the driver but never opens the URL and the driver just closes after a few moments. The last time this happened to me it was just because I had left "http" out of the URL. So what's causing it this time?
public void testImages() throws Exception {
Selenium selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, "http://www.testsite.com/login");
System.out.println(selenium.getXpathCount("//img"));
}
The setup looks like:
public void setUp() throws Exception {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\User1\\Desktop\\chromedriver_win_16.0.902.0\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
Thread.sleep(2000);
}
The teardown method just consists of driver.close().
I'm using selenium 2.14 and the testNG Eclipse plug-in.
You might need to do the following
selenium.open("www.testsite.com/login");
Check out this example from the selenium site:
// You may use any WebDriver implementation. Firefox is used here as an example
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
// A "base url", used by selenium to resolve relative URLs
String baseUrl = "http://www.google.com";
// Create the Selenium implementation
Selenium selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, baseUrl);
// Perform actions with selenium
selenium.open("http://www.google.com");
selenium.type("name=q", "cheese");
selenium.click("name=btnG");
// Get the underlying WebDriver implementation back. This will refer to the
// same WebDriver instance as the "driver" variable above.
WebDriver driverInstance = ((WebDriverBackedSelenium) selenium).getUnderlyingWebDriver();
//Finally, close the browser. Call stop on the WebDriverBackedSelenium instance
//instead of calling driver.quit(). Otherwise, the JVM will continue running after
//the browser has been closed.
selenium.stop();
link to selenium
You would need to add driver.get(url) like below.
public void setUp() throws Exception {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\User1\\Desktop\\chromedriver_win_16.0.902.0\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://www.testsite.com/login");
}
