Q) Element Locators in Selenium

1) driver = Driver object
1) driver.get(“URL”);
 Opens the specified URL in the Browser Window.
Q) Web Elements and Locators.
1) Note :-
 For Handling Browser,Page  Driver object (i.e driver) is enough.
 For Remaining elements we have to use WebDriver methods
2) Some Manual Operations :-

 Launch Browser
 Navigate to a specified URL.
 Close Focussed Browser.

 Refresh the browser
 Navigate from one URL to another.

 Navigate back,forward
 Maximize,Minimize the browser etc…
3) Some
 Get Page Title ,

 Check the existence.
 Get the value. etc….
5) Some operations on Link :-

 Click the link
 Check enabled status.

Q) Element Locators in Selenium
In Selenium
Element locator value.
1) Locator :-
 It is an address that identifies a web element uniquely within the web page
2) Selenium supports 8 Element Locators to recognize Elements in the WebPage :-
 id,name
 tagName,className
 linkText,partialLinkText
 cssSelector
 xpath
3) How to inspect elements

 Firefox  Use Firebug and Firepath plugins.
 Google Chrome  No need to install any plugin , They have built in developer tools.
4) Element locators are common for all browsers.
Ex1) id
1) Syntax :- By.id(“id_value”);
Q) WebDriver methods (for performing operations on Elements)
1) driver.get(“URL”);
 Opens a specified URL in the Browser’s window.
2) String title = driver.getTitle()

 Returns title of the browser in the form of a String.
3) String var = driver.getPageSource();

 Returns the HTML page source of the provided URL.
 Returns in the fom of a String.
4) String var = driver.getCurrentUrl();

 Returns the current URL of the browser.
 Returns in the form of a String.
Q) Browser Navigation Methods.
1) driver.navigate().to(“URL”);
 To navigate to the page with the specified URL.
2) driver.close();
 To close the focussed browser.
Q) Illustration
 Launch a Browser  Open www.learncpp.com
 Wait for 10s ……Then close the browser
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException

{
// Starting the Google Chrome Browser
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","G://Selenium Files/Selenium
Drivers/chromedriver.exe");
// Launch Google Chromew Browser with Blank Page
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.learncpp.com/");
String url1 = driver.getCurrentUrl();
System.out.println(url1);
Thread.sleep(10000);
driver.close();// Closes the Browser

}
3) driver.quit();
3) driver.navigate().refresh()
 To refresh the Current webpage in the Browser
Q) Illustration
 Opens www.learncpp.com
 Refreshes that page
 Then Closes the browser
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Starting the Google Chrome Browser
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","G://Selenium Files/Selenium
Drivers/chromedriver.exe");
// Launch Google Chromew Browser with Blank Page

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.learncpp.com/");
String url1 = driver.getCurrentUrl();
System.out.println(url1);
driver.navigate().refresh();
driver.close();// Closes the Browser

}
1) driver.findElement(By.ElementLocator(“value”)).sendKeys(“input_data“);
 sendKeys() method enters the inpue_data into the Editbox/Textbox
 input_data = String.
 Find the Editbox/Textbox using Element locators.
 Then the code becomes driver.element.sendKeys(“input_data”);
 Where element = Textbox / Editbox.
2) driver.findElement(By.ElementLocator(“value”)).clear();
 clear() method clears the data in the EditBox/Textbox
 Find the Editbox/Textbox using Element locators.
