Performing Mouse Double Click using Selenium Web Driver

Perpose: Performing Mouse Double Click using Selenium Web Driver

Some web applications may need to perform double click to fire the action. Following code will help how to implement Mouse Double Click using Selenium.

In the following example, page contans a div and if we perform single click noting is going to happen but when we perform double click Map will be zoomed.


import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Action;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class DoubleClick {
 public String baseURL = "http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/click.html";
 public WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
 public WebElement element;
 public String title;
 public Actions action = new Actions(driver);
 @BeforeTest
 public void launchBrowser()
 {
  driver.get(baseURL);
 }

 @AfterTest
 public void closeBrowser()
 {
  driver.quit();
 }

 @Test
 public void doubleClick() throws InterruptedException
 {
  element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='OpenLayers_Map_2_OpenLayers_ViewPort']"));
  element.click();// For single click Map will not load
  System.out.println("Single Click performed");
  Thread.sleep(3000);
  Action doubleClick = action.doubleClick(element).build();
  doubleClick.perform();// After performing double click Map will load
  System.out.println("Double Click performed");
  Thread.sleep(10000);
  doubleClick.perform();// After performing double click Map will load
  System.out.println("Double Click performed");
  Thread.sleep(10000);
 }
}

Writing simple Data Driven Framework scripts using TestNG

Purpose: Writing simple Selenium Scripts by implementing Data Driven Framework using TestNG

Data Driven Framework scripts means executing a set of steps with multiple sets of data. Selenium is not have any default way of implementing but by using TestNG support we can implement it successfully.

Step 1: JXL API Jar - We can download it form the following URL
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jxls/files/ and download latest version

Step 2: Prepare Data Source - Open an excel and prepare data source as shown below

In this example we are discussing reading inputs from an excel sheet and writing the results in reports sheet.

Step 3: Following example will demonstrate how to access from an excel sheet and how to write the results into an excel sheet.

package com.google.excel;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import jxl.Sheet;
import jxl.Workbook;
import jxl.read.biff.BiffException;
import jxl.write.Label;
import jxl.write.WritableSheet;
import jxl.write.WritableWorkbook;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class GMail{
 private WebDriver driver;
 private String baseURL;
 private FileInputStream fi;
 private Sheet s;
 private Workbook wb;

 @BeforeClass
 public void setup() throws BiffException, IOException
 {
  driver = new FirefoxDriver();
  baseURL = "http://www.gmail.com";
  fi = new FileInputStream("TestDate\\Book1.xls");
  wb = Workbook.getWorkbook(fi);
  s = wb.getSheet(0);
 }

 @AfterClass
 public void teardown()
 {
  driver.quit();
 }
 @Test
 public void testGmail() throws InterruptedException
 {
  for(int row=0; row <s.getRows();row++)
  {
    String username = s.getCell(0, row).getContents();
    System.out.println("Username "+username);
    driver.get(baseURL);
    driver.findElement(By.name("Email")).sendKeys(username);
    String password= s.getCell(1, row).getContents();
    System.out.println("Password "+password);
    driver.findElement(By.name("Passwd")).sendKeys(password);
    Thread.sleep(10000);
    Thread.sleep(30000);
    writeExcel(0, 0, "Passes");
  }
 }

public void writeExcel(int a, int b, String text) {
    try {
        File excelFile = new File("TestDate\\Results.xls");
        WritableWorkbook book;
        WritableSheet sheet;
        Workbook existingBook = null;
        if (!excelFile.exists()) {
            book = Workbook.createWorkbook(excelFile);
            sheet = book.createSheet("TESTRESULTS", 0);
        } else {
            existingBook = Workbook.getWorkbook(excelFile);
            book = Workbook.createWorkbook(excelFile, existingBook);
            sheet = book.getSheet("TESTRESULTS");
        }
        Label i = new Label(a, b, text);
        sheet.addCell(i);
        book.write();
        book.close();
        if (existingBook != null)
            existingBook.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
}

Capturing all Links in a page, filtering and visiting filtered pages.

Purpose: Capturing all Links in a page, filtering and visiting filtered pages.


In general while testing any application we are facing a situation where we need to visit specific link available on the Web Page. The Following script help floks how to handle it.

In the following example, I am going to visit 'www.google.com', captures all the links available on the page, filter the required link and visit that link page.

import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Links {
 public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

  WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
  driver.get("http://www.tata.com/");
  driver.manage().window().maximize();
//  Extract all links from the webpage using selenium webdriver
  List<WebElement> all_links_webpage = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));

//  Print total no of links on the webpage
  System.out.println("Print total no of links on the webpage---------------------------------------------");
  System.out.println(all_links_webpage.size());

//  Filter the Link and visit that link
  System.out.println("Print Links------------------------------------------------------------------------");
  for(int i=0;i<all_links_webpage.size();i++)
  {
   Thread.sleep(1000);
   if(all_links_webpage.get(i).getText().toLowerCase().contains("contact"))
   {
    System.out.println("Search Resutl found");
   String link = all_links_webpage.get(i).getAttribute("href");
   driver.navigate().to(link);
   Thread.sleep(3000);
   break;
   }
  }
 driver.quit();
 }
}

Unsupported Major/Minor Version issue while executing Selenium Scripts / Java Programs using Eclipse IDE

Purpose: When ever we are executing Selenium Scripts / Java Program which is developed / written in some othere version than our version we will get the error "Java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: .............................Unsupported major.minor version"

If you are executing the program using Console / Command Prompt, using additional parameter -source <version number>

For example, if your file name is VersionError.java and executing through Command Prompt use the following command to execute successfully:

javac -source 1.4 VersionError.java

The program will compile successfully.

If you are executing the code using Eclipse IDE follow the steps mentioned below:

Step 1: Click on 'Project' menu option and select 'Properties' submenu.

Step 2: Click on Project Facts from RNP and Select Java in RNP

Step 3: Select required version of Java and click on OK.

Now Run the application and the issue will be resolved.

Switching between Windows using Selenium RC

Purpose: Script to swithc b/w windows using Selenium RC

We come across to handle switching b/w windows while accessing different webpages. Inroder to automate switching b/w windows, following steps will help you to write Selenium RC Script with the help of Java

The major command that will help to switch b/w windows is selectWindow(). Using thisSelenium Rc command we achive the desired automation script.

Following is the Selenium RC with Java script to handle popup windows:
