Selenium 4
————–
New and improved version of Selenium
Se webdriver can directly communicate with browser using W3C protocol
(without use of json wire protocol as earlier)
New functions added
Multiple windows & tabs management
Relative locators
New Documentation

Getting Started
——————-
Install Java
Setup Eclipse
Create a new maven project
Add maven dependencies for Selenium 4
Download browser driver & add in a folder in project
(Can also keep at any location on your system and add the location in path env var)
Optional
Add TestNG plugin
Add TestNG dependency

1st Test
———
Step 1 – Create a class & main method

public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "./driver/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

//timeout driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(10)); driver.manage().timeouts().scriptTimeout(Duration.ofMinutes(2)); driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10));

//close
driver.close();
}

Step 2 – Run code

Using WebDriver Manager

Step 1 – Add maven dependency for webdriver manager –

Step 2 – Add code
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
Step 3 – To use specific ver of browser
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().driverVersion("92.0").setup();

Browser Actions
———————-
1. Open a web page
driver.get(" ");
driver.navigate().to(" ");

2. Get current url
driver.getCurrentUrl();

3. Get title
driver.getTitle();

4. Forward | Back | Refresh
driver.navigate().back();
driver.navigate().forward();
driver.navigate().refresh();

5. Switching windows
String originalWindow = driver.getWindowHandle();
driver.switchTo().window(originalWindow);

6. Open new window and switch to the window
driver.switchTo().newWindow(WindowType.WINDOW);

7. Open new tab and switch to the tab
driver.switchTo().newWindow(WindowType.TAB);

8. Closing browser
driver.close();
driver.quit();

9. Frames

Locate and Switch
WebElement iframe = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".rightContainer＞frame"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iframe);

Using id or name
driver.switchTo().frame("classFrame");

Using index
driver.switchTo().frame(1);

Return to top level window
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

10. Window management – Size

Get width & height
int width = driver.manage().window().getSize().getWidth();
int height = driver.manage().window().getSize().getHeight();

Store dimensions & query later
Dimension size = driver.manage().window().getSize();
int width1 = size.getWidth();
int height1 = size.getHeight();

Set window size
driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(800, 600));

10. Window management – Position

Access x and y dimensions individually
int x = driver.manage().window().getPosition().getX();
int y = driver.manage().window().getPosition().getY();

Store dimensions & query later
Point position = driver.manage().window().getPosition();
int x1 = position.getX();
int y1 = position.getY();

Move the window to the top left of the primary monitor
driver.manage().window().setPosition(new Point(0, 0));

10. Window management

// maximize window
driver.manage().window().maximize();

// minimize window
driver.manage().window().minimize();

// fullscreen
driver.manage().window().fullscreen();

11. Screenshots

Take screenshot
File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("./image.png"));

Take element screenshot
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".lnXdpd"));
File scrFile1 = element.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile1, new File("./image1.png"));

12. JavaScript

Create JavascriptExecutor interface object by Type casting
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;

Get return value from script
WebElement button =driver.findElement(By.name("btnI"));
String text = (String) js.executeScript("return arguments[0].innerText", button);

JavaScript to click element
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", button);

Execute JS directly
js.executeScript("console.log('hello world')");

      Great video! I watched all your new Selenium 4 videos, as well as your older videos since learning from them 2 years back. I forgot if your new videos mentioned this so I would like to share this info if anyone else ran into my problem. Upgrading from Selenium alpha-4.0 to the latest 4.0 (as of 11/23/2021) I had to also download the latest geckodriver (for FireFox). Otherwise nothing would work. Hope this helps anyone having upgrade issues.
