[Selenium] 4 Selenium Google WebDriver.

In this section,  You will learn how execute test case by Chrome browser and execute browser behavior by selenium.

1.  Execute test case by Chrome
1.1.Create a [BrowersDriver] folder under Python36 folder.
1.2.Download Goolge WebDriver and save into BrowersDriver folder - link1  link2 
   (P.S : You can save it  wherever you want. )

1.3. Create testChrome.py file in pyCharm IDE.

1.4. Entering the below code and execute it.

        from selenium import webdriver

        url="C:\\Programs\\Python36\\BrowersDriver\\chromedriver.exe"        driver=webdriver.Chrome(url)

        driver.get("http://www.google.com")

        # print current url        print(driver.current_url)
        # print current page title        print(driver.title)

        # Close the browser window that the driver has focus of        driver.close()
        # Call Dispose() => Release all resource.        driver.quit()

       In this test case,

          1. go to Google Website

          2. print current URL - https://www.google.com.sg/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=FlbnWJ2QIrHG8AfLz7zQDg&gws_rd=ssl

          3. print current webpage title - Google

          4. close the browser

          5. release webdriver. 

PS: If your chrome just shows blank page, WebDriver you download does not support your Chrome. 

Solution: download Chrome WebDriver which match your chrome version or 

          downgrade your chrome version. 

My Chrome Version: 57.02987.133 (64 bit)

ChromeDriver.exe version is blank. 

2. Browser Behavior 

    You will learn how to manipulate browser behavior - Go, back, forward, refresh.

2.1 Create a python file - TestDriverBehavior.py

2.2 Entering the below code and execute it.

print
(driver.current_url)
# print current page titleprint(driver.title)

# go to Yahoo pagedriver.get("http://www.yahoo.com")

# print current urlprint(driver.current_url)
# print current page titleprint(driver.title)

# go back previous pagedriver.back()

# print current urlprint(driver.current_url)
# print current page titleprint(driver.title)

# loads the next URL in the history list as same as  window.history.forward() method.driver.forward()

# print current urlprint(driver.current_url)
# print current page titleprint(driver.title)

# refresh current pagedriver.refresh()

# Close the browser window that the driver has focus ofdriver.close()
# Call Dispose() => Release all resource.driver.quit()

       In this test case,
          1. go to Google Website
          2. print current URL - https://www.google.com.sg/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=FlbnWJ2QIrHG8AfLz7zQDg&gws_rd=ssl
          3. print current webpage title - Google
          5. go to Yahoo website
          6. print current URL - https://sg.yahoo.com/?p=us
          7. print current webpage title -Yahoo
          8. go back privous web page (Google)
          9. print current URL - https://www.google.com.sg/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=FlbnWJ2QIrHG8AfLz7zQDg&gws_rd=ssl
          10. print current webpage title - Google


          11. go forward to next web page (Yahoo)
          12. print current URL - - https://sg.yahoo.com/?p=us
               13. print current webpage title - Yahoo
          14. refresh current page
          15. close the browser


          16. release webdriver.

[Selenium] What's WebDriver

 What's WebDriver

The primary new feature in Selenium 2.0 is the integration of the WebDriver API. WebDriver is designed to provide a simpler, more concise programming interface in addition to addressing some limitations in the Selenium-RC API. Selenium-WebDriver was developed to better support dynamic web pages where elements of a page may change without the page itself being reloaded. WebDriver’s goal is to supply a well-designed object-oriented API that provides improved support for modern advanced web-app testing problems.


Selenium 2.0的主要新功能是WebDriver API的集成。除了解決Selenium-RC API中的一些限制之外，WebDriver旨在提供更簡單，更簡潔的編程接口。 Selenium-WebDriver被開發以更好地支持動態網頁，其中頁面的元素可能改變而不重新加載頁面本身。 WebDriver的目標是提供一個精心設計的面向對象API，為現代高級Web應用程序測試問題提供了更好的支持。


Selenium 1.0 + WebDriver = Selenium 2.0

You must download WebDriver for different Browser. 

您必須下載不同瀏覽器的WebDriver
