Can you list some of the webpage operations available in Selenium?
Me: Sure! Some of the main operations are:
♻️ Navigate to URLs:
driver.get("url") 🖥
driver.navigate().to("url") 🏎️
👀 Inspect the webpage:
driver.getTitle() 📃
driver.getPageSource() 👁
driver.getCurrentUrl() 🌐
✍️ Interact with elements:
driver.find_element_by_id().send_keys("text") 🔍
driver.find_elements_by_class_name().click() 🖱
📷 Take screenshots:
driver.get_screenshot_as_file("filename.png") 📸
⌨️ Send keyboard inputs:
Actions().send_keys().perform() 💻
🖱 Perform mouse actions:
Actions().move_to_element().click().perform() 🖱
What WebEdit operations are available in Selenium?
Me: WebEdit refers to text fields, input boxes, and text areas on a webpage. Selenium provides these useful APIs to interact with WebEdits:
To enter text in a text field:
sendKeys()
Syntax:
driver.findElement([By.id](<http://by.id/>)("textbox")).sendKeys("TestData")
This will type the string "TestData" into the text field. 🔤
To clear text from a text field:
clear()
Syntax:
driver.findElement([By.id](<http://by.id/>)("textbox")).clear()
This will empty any existing text from the field.✂️
Entering a search query:
driver.findElement([By.name](<http://by.name/>)("q")).sendKeys("selenium testing") 🔍
Clearing the search box:
driver.findElement([By.name](<http://by.name/>)("q")).clear() ✂️
Filling out a form:
driver.findElement(By.className("fname")).sendKeys("John")
driver.findElement(By.className("lname")).sendKeys("Doe")✍️
What operations can you perform on links using Selenium WebDriver?
Me: Selenium provides a few useful APIs for interacting with links (i.e. <a> elements):
To click a link:
click()
Syntax:
driver.findElement([By.id](<http://by.id/>)("someLink")).click()
This will simulate a click on the link. 👈
To check if a link is enabled:
isEnabled()
Syntax:
driver.findElement([By.id](<http://by.id/>)("link")).isEnabled()
This returns true/false if the link can be clicked. 🟢
To check if a link is visible:
isDisplayed()
Syntax:
driver.findElement([By.id](<http://by.id/>)("link")).isDisplayed()
This returns true/false if the link is visible on the page. 👁️
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Terms")).click() 📄
Checking a disabled link:
isEnabled = driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Disabled")).isEnabled()
print(isEnabled) ❌
