How to write your first Selenium WebDriver Code

How to write your first Selenium WebDriver code

 

1. Introduction 

2. Set up java and Eclipse

• Open search and type advanced system setting

• In the shown options, select the View advanced system settings link
• Under the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables

• Click OK and click Apply to apply the changes

In Mac OSX 10.5 or above, Apple recommends  to set the $JAVA_HOME variable to (/usr/libexec/java_home) 
 
1) open the terminal and run the command Open ~/.bash_profile, if file exists it will open the bash file 
otherwise, we will get the error message as:

 
The file /Users/userName  .bash_profile does not exist.
 
2) The next step is to create the bash file, simply run command $ vim  ~/.bash_profile  and add 
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home) save and close the file.

• Create a new Java Project in Eclipse:

• Right-click on the project and click on Properties>Java Build Path>Click on configure build path>Click on Library Tab>Add External JARs and Select the Selenium WebDriver JARs from the location, where you have saved the Selenium JARs in your System.

 String path = System.getProperty("user.dir");
 
 // For Windows define path as C:\Users\abc\Desktop\chromedriver.exe
 
 System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", path + "/chromedriver");
 WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
 
 /**
 * Now, let's open the browser with the help of the driver and get the
 * title of the site: Here we will use the dummy Site for testing
 */
 
driver.navigate().to("https://www.hubspot.com/");
 String actualTitle = driver.getTitle();
 
 // Finally, we can validate if the actual title is matched with our
 // expected
 // Title:
 
 String expectedTitle = "HubSpot | Inbound Marketing, Sales, and Service Software";
if (actualTitle.equalsIgnoreCase(expectedTitle))
 System.out.println("Test Passed!");
 else
 System.out.println("Test Failed");
 
 // once all the operations are done, we can close the web driver
 
driver.close();
 }
