We can run Selenium tests on Chrome browser with the help of the chromedriver.exe executable file. First, we have to download the chromedriver.exe file from the following link − https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloadsWe have to click on the link which matches with the Chrome browser in our system. Next, choose the link based operating system (Windows, Linux or Mac) we are presently using.Once the download has completed, a zip file gets created.

We can scroll a webpage using coordinates of a webelement in Selenium webdriver using the JavaScript Executor. Selenium executes JavaScript commands with the help of the executeScript method.To get the unique coordinates of an element we shall create an object of the class Point which shall store the location of the webelement obtained from the getLocation method.Then the individual x and y coordinate values can be computed from the getX and the getY methods respectively. Finally, to actually perform scroll upto the coordinates of an element, the command window.scrollBy(x coordinate, y coordinate) is passed as a parameter to the executeScript ... Read More

We can close the active/current tab without closing the browser in Selenium webdriver in Python. By default, Selenium has control over the parent window. Once another browser window is opened, we have to explicitly shift the control with the help of switch_to.window method.The handle id of the browser window where we want to shift is passed as a parameter to that method. The method window_handles returns the list of all window handle ids of the opened browsers.The method current_window_handle is used to hold the window handle id of the browser window in focus.

For example, //img[@alt='tutorialspoint']Let us see the html code of the highlighted element starting from the root.The absolute xpath for the ... Read More

To launch the Chrome browser, we have to use the System.setProperty method. This method takes the parameters – webdriver.chrome.driver and the path of the chromedriver.exe file.So webdriver.chrome.driver is basically the property name and the path of the chromedriver.exe is the value. Thus, the System.setProperty method is used to configure the browser driver path.The Selenium client library communicates with the ChromeDriver via the JSON Wire Protocol. The Chrome browser driver acts like a link between the Selenium implementation code and the Chrome browser. The System.setProperty is the beginning line that requires to be added to our test prior creation of webdriver ... Read More
