How to configure or setup Selenium WebDriver with java:

To configure selenium WebDriver, need below

Eclipse, JDK (8), Selenium_server_standalone_3.*.*.jar
We can download from the below
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads

https://selenium.dev/downloads/

Note: To open eclipse java should be installed in your system.

How To download and install JDK-8:
Open browser Navigate to below URL
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

Test Script 1: Write a program to open the URL

Package: com.webdriver

Class name: HMSLaunch.java

Public class HMSLaunch {

Public static void main(String args[])

{
 //Disable notifications
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\sushma\\chrome\\chromedriver.exe");
//launch the chrome browser
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
//maximize the chrome browser window
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//navigate to url “selenium4testing.com” site
driver.get("http://selenium4testing.com/");

}
}
Public static void main (String args[]): -
It is the main method which is responsible for Execution
· Public: Public is the access specifier due to which we can access it from outside
the class. it is intended for the purpose of the JVM to execute the main method
from any location.
· Static: Static is a modifier. The main method must be declared as static so that the
JVM can access the main method directly by using the class name. there is no need to
create any instance of it

As we know main method also reside inside a class and to access the particular
function of a class from outside the class (In this case from JVM), an instance of that
particular class is needed, so to avoid these we simply put static to make access main
method outside of class.

If we remove static then it becomes instance method, to access an instance method

we should create object and then invoke the method using the object reference

· void: Void is the return type of main method. The Caller of the main method is
JVM and the JVM does not expect any value from the main method and therefore the
main method should not return any value. This is the reason for specifying Void.

· main: Main is the method name and it is fixed as per the Java coding
conventions.
· (String args[]): String is a pre-defined class name in java. And args [] is a
variable name of String type object. It is used for storing the command line arguments.
The name of the array can be any valid Java identifier.

So, we can also change the name of args[]. String class and its object can be passed in
a running program as an argument to pass information to the main method from
command line.
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\Drivers\geckodriver.exe")

· The first argument sets the browser name which would be used while execution.
And the second argument specifies the driver path for respective browser

· This driver would be in .exe format and varies from browser to browser.

· In selenium, you use this method because the browser doesn’t have a built-in
server to run the automation code so you will need a Chrome/IE/Gecko (according to
requirement) driver server for communicating your Selenium code to the browser.

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver ();

· We generally do it this way because usually we want to be able to run our tests on
multiple browsers. If we declare the driver as a specific driver type, we are then anchored
to only that driver.

Having reference variable of type WebDriver allows us to assign the driver object
different browser specific drivers. Allowing multi-browser testing by assigning the driver
Object to any of the desired browser.

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

The Implicit wait will tell the web driver to wait for a certain amount of time before it
throws a “No Such Element Exception”. The default setting of Implicit wait is zero. Once
you set the time, the web driver will wait for that particular amount of time before
throwing an exception.

Note: Implicitly wait is applied globally which means it is always available for all the web
elements throughout the driver instance. once you set that time it is set for the entire
driver instance and applied everywhere. It implies if the driver is interacting with 100
elements then, implicitly wait is applicable for all the 100 elements.

Scenario2: -write a program to test the login functionality of hms by using the
credentials user1 and user1

Refer the Programs from selenium4testing.com/downloads

Package: com.webdriver
class name: HMS_Login
· Give the package name as com.webdriver, take a new class by right clicking on
the project, click on new and select class and give the class name as HMS_logn,
then select the checkbox public static void main then click on finish
 · To perform action on any field we need the locator. we can take the locators for
every browser we are having the below addon for different browsers
· To take the locator, right click on the field click on inspect element(Q), then use
either ID or Name or any locator.
Browser Addon
· Firefox inspect element
· IE developer tools
· Google chrome ChroPath, inspect element
· Safari inspect element
· Opera inspect element

ChroPath - Google Chrome

How to Install ChroPath in Google chrome: You can also copy the XPath Expressions and CSS
Selectors locators that are auto-generated by Chropath
Open Chrome browser  Enter “ChroPath install” or click on link
