As all we know selenium is used for automating web application. We will not have any difficulty in automating HTTP site...We face some of the below issues while automating HTTPS sites..

HTTPS sites will show some security notifications below are some:

Firefox:



Internet Explorer:


2. Set TrustAllSSLCertificates flag to TRUE
rcc.setTrustAllSSLCertificates(true);


3. Pass the rcc Instance to Selenium Server
SeleniumServer server = new SeleniumServer(rcc);


If the above steps also doesnt work you need to install cyber villian certificate to automate HTTPS sites (Especially for IE)


1. Extract selenium-server.jar
2. In selenium server folder Open sslSupport folder
3. It contains cybervillainsCA.cer please install that certificate

Now you can run your selenium rc  scripts with out any problem for HTTPS sites.


Below is the code with out the Above steps:


====================================

package selenium;


import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestCase;

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public class HTTPs extends SeleneseTestCase{

public SeleniumServer ss;
@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception
{
ss=new SeleniumServer();
ss.start();
selenium=new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox", "https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/");
selenium.start();
}

@Test
public void testSelenium() throws Exception
{
selenium.open("/");
selenium.windowMaximize();

Thread.sleep(5000);

}
@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception
{
selenium.stop();
ss.stop();
}

}

The Java version of WebDriver provides an implementation of the Selenium-RC API. These means that you can use the underlying WebDriver technology using the Selenium-RC API. This is primarily provided for backwards compatablity. It allows those who have existing test suites using the Selenium-RC API to use WebDriver under the covers. It’s provided to help ease the migration path to Selenium-Web driver.


Sample Backed web driver script looks like this:


=================================================================



package webone;


import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverBackedSelenium;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestCase;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public class BackedSelenium extends SeleneseTestCase  {

//web driver --here we are declaring the browser
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {

String baseUrl = "http://www.google.co.in/";
selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, baseUrl);
}


@Test
public void testBackedSelenium() throws Exception {
//This is using selenium
selenium.open("/");
selenium.click("id=gbi5");
selenium.click("id=gmlas");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
selenium.type("name=as_q", "test");
//Here we are using Webdriver
driver.findElement(By.id("as_oq1")).sendKeys("naga");

driver.findElement(By.id("as_oq2")).sendKeys("Webdriver");
Thread.sleep(5000);

}


@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
}
}

By using the above format you can use both the Selenium API and Web driver API...

Here is the post how to scroll page using selenium...Earlier i used FOCUS command as a solution/ work around..but its not that much useful in all cases.


The "selenium.focus" should be used when the element you are looking for gets loaded when the page gets loaded and not when you scroll through the page .


Below is the code for scrolling page using selenium...




 selenium.getEval("window.scrollBy(0,200)");


it will scroll the pahe to 200 pixels..if you want you can increase the pixel size.


0 ---X-axis
200--Y-axis


Hope it will be useful for all...






Below example is to:

• open the new window by clicking on one link in Main window, 
• performing some operations in pop up window,
• then close the pop up window,
• and operate some function in main window again.

I found that it is not easy for the beginners to setup Selenium RC and run the GoogleTest.java example after downloading it from www.openqa.org . The purpose of this post is to help beginners (new users to Selenium RC) help setting up Selenium RC with TestNG using Eclipse.


You need eclipse and TestNg Jar files..


Below are the steps to SetUp TestNG in eclipse.


Step1:


Open Eclipse.
Click on Help form Menubar  and select "Install new software".


Step2:


A new window will be opened. Click Add button.
 A new window is opened. and Enter Name as TESTNG and enter site "http://beust.com/eclipse"

I saw many posts on identifying window Name, ID and Title or Attribute....but all are giving Syntax...We can find that syntax in Selenium document. In this post, I would like to give an example how to identify window Name, ID and Title or Attribute...


Below is the code is to identify the new window....By using TITLE 


package test;


import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;


public class NewWindow extends SeleneseTestCase {
public SeleniumServer ss;
@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
ss= new SeleniumServer();
ss.start();
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*chrome", "http://www.truepanel.com/");
selenium.start();
}


@Test
public void testNewWindow() throws Exception {
selenium.open("/");
   selenium.windowMaximize();
   selenium.setSpeed("2000");
   selenium.click("//div[@id='right']/div[2]/a[1]");
   selenium.setSpeed("2000");
   //Click on Facebook icon
   selenium.click("//div[@id='right']/div[2]/a[2]");
   selenium.setSpeed("2000");
   //Click on Linkedin icon
   selenium.click("//div[@id='right']/div[2]/a[3]");
   selenium.setSpeed("2000");
      String[] winNames = selenium.getAllWindowTitles();
 //All window names should be displayed in console
      for (int i = 0; i < winNames.length; i++) 
   {
    System.out.println("Window Titles are "+winNames[i]);
}
             
   /*selenium.selectWindow("Twitter");
   verifyEquals("Truepanel (Truepanel) on Twitter", selenium.getTitle());*/
   //Selects the new window with Title Truepanel | Facebook
   selenium.selectWindow("TruePanel | Facebook");
   selenium.setSpeed("2000");
   selenium.windowFocus();
   selenium.setSpeed("2000");
   selenium.windowMaximize();
   selenium.setSpeed("2000");
   if(selenium.isElementPresent("//div[@id='globalContainer']/div[2]/div/a/span"))
   {
    selenium.click("//div[@id='globalContainer']/div[2]/div/a/span");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
selenium.type("firstname", "test");
selenium.type("lastname", "test");
selenium.type("reg_email__", "tets");
selenium.type("reg_email_confirmation__", "test");
selenium.selectWindow("null");
       selenium.windowFocus();
       verifyEquals("Welcome to Truepanel | Online Video Focus Groups", selenium.getTitle());
       selenium.click("//div[@id='navBtns']/a[2]");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
       Thread.sleep(1000);
   }
   
     else
     {
    //this command will select the parent window
       selenium.selectWindow("null");
       selenium.windowFocus();
       verifyEquals("Welcome to Truepanel | Online Video Focus Groups", selenium.getTitle());
       Thread.sleep(1000);
   }
}
@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
ss.stop();
}

How to handle alerts in Registration page..

Below is the command used for handling Alerts...

getAlert()

Returns:

The message of the most recent JavaScript alert

Retrieves the message of a JavaScript alert generated during the previous action, or fail if there were no alerts. Getting an alert has the same effect as manually clicking OK. If an alert is generated but you do not consume it with getAlert, the next Selenium action will fail.


Under Selenium, JavaScript alerts will NOT pop up a visible alert dialog.

Selenium does NOT support JavaScript alerts that are generated in a page's onload() event handler. In this case a visible dialog WILL be generated and Selenium will hang until someone manually clicks OK.




Below is the script to handle Alert.....



package reporting;


import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;


import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;


public class Alert extends SeleneseTestCase  {
public SeleniumServer ss;


@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
ss =new SeleniumServer();
ss.start();
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*chrome", "http://www.rediff.com/");
selenium.start();
}


@Test
public void testAlert() throws Exception {
selenium.open("/");
selenium.windowMaximize();
selenium.click("link=Create a Rediffmail account");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");


selenium.type("name", "tester");
selenium.click("login");
//Enter Name here
selenium.type("login", "Tester1");
selenium.type("passwd", "selenium");
selenium.select("DOB_Day", "label=04");
selenium.select("DOB_Month", "label=APR");
selenium.select("DOB_Year", "label=1912");
//Click Register button
selenium.click("Register");
//Will get an alert..to handle this alert we will use below command
selenium.getAlert();
Thread.sleep(10000);
//After handling alert enter user name
selenium.type("login", "nagaraju");
Thread.sleep(10000);
}


@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
ss.stop();
}
}

Send mail to any one from Gmail..using the below script..

Gmail is one of the complicated stuff..Record and play back will not work here..because IDs and Names of the elements are changing randomly..Here we need to use ClickAt instead of Click...and we need to use Xpaths...

Below is the script to send mail to one mail ID...

Please change your mail and password  to execute this program...



package reporting;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
ss=new SeleniumServer();
ss.start();
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*chrome", "https://www.google.com/");
selenium.start();
}

@Test
public void testGmail() throws Exception {
selenium.open("/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F%3Fui%3Dhtml%26zy%3Dl&bsv=llya694le36z&scc=1&ltmpl=default&ltmplcache=2");
selenium.windowMaximize();
selenium.type("Email", "nagaqtt");

//Enter Email ID in To field
Thread.sleep(10000);
selenium.type("to", "nagaselenium@gmail.com");
//Subject of the mail
selenium.type("subject", "testing");
Thread.sleep(1000);
selenium.selectWindow("null");
//Content in the mail

We can scroll the page by using FOCUS command...

focus(locator)

Arguments:

• locator - an element locator

Move the focus to the specified element; for example, if the element is an input field, move the cursor to that field.

Basically there is no specific command for scrolling the page down. I tried keyPress and all other options, but i felt Focus is the best for scrolling the page down. We need to select a element and set focus on that element.

Below is the example...


package reporting;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;

public class Focus extends SeleneseTestCase {
public SeleniumServer aa;
@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
aa= new SeleniumServer();
aa.start();
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*chrome", "http://www.google.com/");
selenium.start();
}

@Test
public void testFocus() throws Exception {
selenium.open("/");
selenium.windowMaximize();
selenium.type("q", "selenium wiki");
selenium.click("btnG");
//Waiting for an element
for (int second = 0;; second++) {
if (second >= 60) fail("timeout");
try { if (selenium.isElementPresent("link=Selenium Overview - Wiki - Liferay.com")) break; } catch (Exception e) {}
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
//Set focus on element --then page will scroll down --focus will be on that element
selenium.focus("link=Selenium Overview - Wiki - Liferay.com");
//To capture a screenshot
selenium.captureScreenshot("c:/naga/screenshot.png");
Thread.sleep(10000);
}



@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
aa.stop();
}
}
