Creating webdriver scripts

·         Creating the scripts

There are multiple ways to create WebDriver scripts, execute the scripts, Let us discuss about them.

1. Using SELENIUM IDE   : 

·         Open Firefox browser

·         Go to Tools->Open Selenium IDE

·         Record the script

·         Export the script to Desired format in desired language

  

·         Save the Test case

·         Now open the Recorded script, it will look like below :

              Note : As it don’t have any main method, You can run those scripts using Junit/TestNG

     1.  Hand Coding:

You can create selenium script by just coding yourself in eclipse, for this you just need to create     a simple java program with the main method, Let us stop theoretical and start practising it

·         Go to WebDriver project ,that we have created in Eclipse

·         Right click -> New->Class

·         Specify Name as “HandCodedTest” and select the public static void main(String[] args) check box as shown in below pic:

·         Click on ‘Finish’, Now it will create an empty Class body as below:

·         Now we have to write our test in the main method, for that we need to import the following references

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

We have to write the actions which you want to do in main method, For example look at the below code to login to Yahoo mail

WebDriver driver;

            driver = new FirefoxDriver();

            String baseUrl = "http://my.naukri.com/";

            driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

           

                  driver.get("https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?.intl=in

      &.src=ym");

            driver.findElement(By.id("username")).clear();

            driver.findElement(By.id("username")).sendKeys("re");

            driver.findElement(By.id("passwd")).clear();

            driver.findElement(By.id("passwd")).sendKeys("re");

            driver.findElement(By.id(".save")).click();

         driver.quit();

·         Finally your complete code class looks like

           

        You can run the above script by Right click->Java Application

NOTE: It is always better to record the script and export it to the language you required, and tweak your code as per your requirements; Complete hand coding is time taking and not even worth.
