- setUp
- setproperty
- getText() ---- webElementobj.findElementByXpath("locator ").getText()
- get()
- switchTo()
When you are dealing with pop ups, alerts and dialog boxes - it means you are working on new windows, so handle such windows we use switchTo() method.
//Here we are dismissing the alert box that is getting generated
Alert alertobj = webElementobj.switchTo().alert(); //How does it know which alert box???
alertobj.dismiss();

Method:
get
void get(java.lang.String url)
Load a new web page in the current browser window. This is done using an HTTP GET operation, and the method will block until the load is complete. This will follow redirects issued either by the server or as a meta-redirect from within the returned HTML. Should a meta-redirect "rest" for any duration of time, it is best to wait until this timeout is over, since should the underlying page change whilst your test is executing the results of future calls against this interface will be against the freshly loaded page. Synonym forWebDriver.Navigation.to(String).- Parameters:
url- The URL to load. It is best to use a fully qualified URL
getCurrentUrl
java.lang.String getCurrentUrl()
Get a string representing the current URL that the browser is looking at.- Returns:
- The URL of the page currently loaded in the browser
getTitle
java.lang.String getTitle()
The title of the current page.- Returns:
- The title of the current page, with leading and trailing whitespace stripped, or null if one is not already set
findElements
java.util.List<WebElement> findElements(By by)
Find all elements within the current page using the given mechanism. This method is affected by the 'implicit wait' times in force at the time of execution. When implicitly waiting, this method will return as soon as there are more than 0 items in the found collection, or will return an empty list if the timeout is reached.- Specified by:
findElementsin interfaceSearchContext- Parameters:
by- The locating mechanism to use- Returns:
- A list of all
WebElements, or an empty list if nothing matches - See Also:
By,WebDriver.Timeouts
findElement
WebElement findElement(By by)
Find the firstWebElementusing the given method. This method is affected by the 'implicit wait' times in force at the time of execution. The findElement(..) invocation will return a matching row, or try again repeatedly until the configured timeout is reached. findElement should not be used to look for non-present elements, usefindElements(By)and assert zero length response instead.- Specified by:
findElementin interfaceSearchContext- Parameters:
by- The locating mechanism- Returns:
- The first matching element on the current page
- Throws:
NoSuchElementException- If no matching elements are found- See Also:
By,WebDriver.Timeouts
getPageSource
java.lang.String getPageSource()
Get the source of the last loaded page. If the page has been modified after loading (for example, by Javascript) there is no guarantee that the returned text is that of the modified page. Please consult the documentation of the particular driver being used to determine whether the returned text reflects the current state of the page or the text last sent by the web server. The page source returned is a representation of the underlying DOM: do not expect it to be formatted or escaped in the same way as the response sent from the web server. Think of it as an artist's impression.- Returns:
- The source of the current page
close
void close()
Close the current window, quitting the browser if it's the last window currently open.
quit
void quit()
Quits this driver, closing every associated window.
getWindowHandles
java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getWindowHandles()
Return a set of window handles which can be used to iterate over all open windows of this WebDriver instance by passing them toswitchTo().WebDriver.Options.window()- Returns:
- A set of window handles which can be used to iterate over all open windows.
getWindowHandle
java.lang.String getWindowHandle()
Return an opaque handle to this window that uniquely identifies it within this driver instance. This can be used to switch to this window at a later date
switchTo
WebDriver.TargetLocator switchTo()
Send future commands to a different frame or window.- Returns:
- A TargetLocator which can be used to select a frame or window
- See Also:
WebDriver.TargetLocator
navigate
WebDriver.Navigation navigate()
An abstraction allowing the driver to access the browser's history and to navigate to a given URL.- Returns:
- A
WebDriver.Navigationthat allows the selection of what to do next
manage
WebDriver.Options manage()
Gets the Option interface- Returns:
- An option interface
- See Also:
WebDriver.Optionspublic interface WebDriver extends SearchContext
The main interface to use for testing, which represents an idealised web browser. The methods in this class fall into three categories:
- Control of the browser itself
- Selection of
WebElements - Debugging aids
