Working with Color Boxes and AJAX Loading in Selenium

Nowadays the fashion for developers is to use the light boxes or color boxes in the web applications.. to impress the end users .... Inorder to test such scenarios using selenium follow the below steps... It is to notice that the color boxes will appear in UI after some user interaction in the web page. So in case of color boxes the development code is as follows ..

Generally the HTML related to colorbox is already embedded in the webpage when you navigate.
Here one need to concentrate what is going on in the UI when a user performs some set of operations... As per my knowledge there will be some divs in webpage added with a dynamic content and some gray layer is added to the main page ...
So the selenium code to identify such color boxes should be some thing like this ....

   Perform an event 
   Wait for the response
   Check the UI is showing that div or not ....
   Later on perform the necessary actions there....
Sample code would be as follows...


     selenium.click("click the item which causes colorbox to open");
  
   Run an infinite for loop .....
 
      for(int i=0;;i++){
              try {
                  if(selenium.isVisible("//div[@id='ajaxResp']")){
                      System.out.println("Found");
                      System.out.println(selenium.getText("//div[@id='ajaxResp']"));
                      break;
                  }else{
                      Thread.sleep(1000);
                  }
              }catch(Exception e){
                
              }
          }

In the above program assume "ajaxResp" is the ID of the division which gets visible whenever the colorbox content is loaded in that DIV. If that div is visible then we can write the necessary tests we need to perform there...

For explanation .... the for loop first checks whether the div with id "ajaxResp" is visible or not...
if it is not visible it will stop the current thread execution for one second and the loop iterates again .... like wise it will keep on iterate until that div gets visible... there by we can perform the necessary actions there and ... the loop breaks there.....
If you want to cross verify whether the div is there or not .... do a getAttribute or isElementPresent on that div...

The getAttribute("XPATH OF COLOR BOX DIV@style")

Working with frames in selenium

Assume some times we need to write the test cases for frames applications.
In Such case the thing we need to follow is to check for the frame id .
In the main window the frames are being embedded.
So always to perform any action on frames content first we need to move our cursor to the frame using the selenium API. Check the below program...

package com.tests;

import junit.framework.*;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium;

public class FramesDemo extends  TestCase{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      try{
        
          DefaultSelenium selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 8888, "*firefox","http://localhost:8383");
          selenium.start();
          selenium.open("http://localhost:8383/testApplication/test.jsp");  
          selenium.setSpeed("2000");
          System.out.println("Page Title "+selenium.getTitle());
          assertEquals("Frames Concept", selenium.getTitle());
          selenium.highlight("firstframe");
          selenium.selectFrame("firstframe");
          System.out.println("First frame Data "+selenium.getText("//div[@id='first']"));
          selenium.selectFrame("relative=up");
          selenium.highlight("secondframe");         
          selenium.selectFrame("secondframe");
          System.out.println("Second frame Data "+selenium.getText("//div[@id='second']"));
          selenium.selectFrame("relative=up");
          selenium.highlight("thirdframe");  
          selenium.selectFrame("thirdframe");
          System.out.println("Third frame Data "+selenium.getText("//div[@id='third']"));
          selenium.selectFrame("relative=up");
          selenium.highlight("fourthframe");
          selenium.selectFrame("fourthframe");        
          System.out.println("Fourth frame Data "+selenium.getText("//div[@id='fourth']"));
          selenium.selectFrame("relative=up");
          selenium.selectFrame("secondframe");
          selenium.highlight("link=Click Me to go to ThirdFrame");
          selenium.click("link=Click Me to go to ThirdFrame");
          selenium.waitForFrameToLoad("thirdFrame", "30000");
          selenium.selectFrame("relative=up");
          selenium.highlight("thirdframe");
          selenium.selectFrame("thirdframe");
          System.out.println("Third frame Data after Refresh "+selenium.getText("//div[@id='third']"));
          System.out.println("Third frame Data in iframe is "+selenium.getText("//div[@id='fourth']"));  
        
      }catch(Exception e){
          e.printStackTrace(); 
      }
   }
}

So using selectFrame we can select any frame and perform needed actions there and back to main window using   selenium.selectFrame("relative=up"); .....

Hope this helps.....

Handling popup windows in selenium

Handling pop up windows in selenium is a good mechanism.
All you need to know is pop up window ID.
In general pop up windows are generated in a website with some javascript code .
That particular code is as follows.

window.open('url','windowname','properties');

or

window.open('url','','properties');

So in the first case we can be able to identify the pop up window in selenium.
Where as with second case we cannot be able to recognize the popup window.

Follow the below steps to recognize a pop up and move your control onto that pop up and do the necessary actions there and return back to main window.


package com.tests;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium;

public class PopUpWindowDemo {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
      try {         
          DefaultSelenium selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 8888,"*iexplore", "http://localhost:8383");
          selenium.start();
          selenium.open("http://localhost:8383/testApplication/mainPage.jsp");
   
          selenium.click("link=Click Me");
          String[] winNames = selenium.getAllWindowNames();
          for (String winName : winNames) {
              if (!winName.contains("selenium")) {
                  selenium.waitForPopUp(winName, "30000");
                  selenium.selectWindow(winName);
                  selenium.windowFocus();
                  //Here u can write the steps related to pop up window....
                  //Close the pop up once all the manipulations in the pop up window done successfully...
                  //Move the cursor to the main Window using the selenium.selectWindow("null") or selenium.selectWindow("")
                  if(selenium.isElementPresent("//div[@id='popUpDiv']")){
                      System.out.println("U r successfully entered in pop up window");
                      System.out.println("Text in the pop up Window "+selenium.getText("//div[@id='popUpDiv']"));
                      if(selenium.isElementPresent("link=Close Me")){
                          selenium.click("link=Close Me");
                      }
                   
                  }else{
                      System.out.println("U r not successfully entered in pop up window");
                  }
                  selenium.selectWindow("null");
                  selenium.windowFocus();
                  //Now the cursor is returned to the main window
                  //Do the operations on the main window...
   
              }
          }
       } catch (Exception e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       }
  }
}

Hi Meera Hi vamsi India Australia America



The above is the HTML for which i am writing the Java class .
In this Java class i am trying to include how to use the css and xpath locators for all the mentioned html elements like div,select,input,links and many more.
In the java class read the comments well to understand the things so simple and there is a good comments set for each operation.

XPATH Locators

Pattern	Meaning
//E	an element of type E
//E[@foo="bar"]	an E element whose "foo" attribute value is exactly equal to "bar"
//E[contains(text(),"foo")]	an E element containing the substring "foo" in its textual contents
//E[contains(@foo,"value")]	an E element containing the substring "value" in the attribute foo
//E[@foo="bar" and @foo1="bar1"]	an E element whose "foo" attribute value is exactly equal to "bar" and "foo1" attribute value is exactly equal to "bar1"
//E[descendant::F]	an E element which contains the F as its child
//E/following-sibling::F	an F element which has an adjacent element as E
//E/preceding-sibling::F	an F element which is beside E

IDENTIFY AN ELEMENT USING MULTIPLE ATTRIBUTES 

Eg: Using XPATH AND CSS


To combine the css locators for multiple attributes use the following way..
css=E[foo='abc'][foo1='abcs'][foo2='abcd'] and so on...
for xpath locators using and u can combine..
//E[@foo="bar" and @foo1="bar1"]
Use getAttribute method to get any element attribte
See the attribute values using firebug suppose

Div Text


to get the style attribute from the above div use some thing like below.
String divStyle = selenium.getAttribute(XPATHOFDIV@style);
String divStyle = selenium.getAttribute(CSSLOCATOR OF DIV@style);
Eg:: String divStyle = selenium.getAttribute(//div[@id='one']@style);
or use CSS locators too..
String divStyle = selenium.getAttribute(css=div[id='one']@style);

CSS Locators

Pattern	Meaning
E	an element of type E
E[foo]	an E element with a "foo" attribute
E[foo="bar"]	an E element whose "foo" attribute value is exactly equal to "bar"
E[foo~="bar"]	an E element whose "foo" attribute value is a list of space-separated values, one of which is exactly equal to "bar"
E[foo^="bar"]	an E element whose "foo" attribute value begins exactly with the string "bar"
E[foo$="bar"]	an E element whose "foo" attribute value ends exactly with the string "bar"
E[foo*="bar"]	an E element whose "foo" attribute value contains the substring "bar"
E:nth-child(n)	an E element, the n-th child of its parent
E:nth-last-child(n)	an E element, the n-th child of its parent, counting from the last one
E:first-child	an E element, first child of its parent
E:last-child	an E element, last child of its parent
E:only-child	an E element, only child of its parent
E:only-of-type	an E element, only sibling of its type
E:empty	an E element that has no children (including text nodes)
E:active E:hover E:focus	an E element during certain user actions
E:enabled E:disabled	a user interface element E which is enabled or disabled
E:checked	a user interface element E which is checked or in an indeterminate state (for instance a radio-button or checkbox)
E:contains("foo")	an E element containing the substring "foo" in its textual contents
E#myid	an E element with ID equal to "myid".
E:not(s)	an E element that does not match simple selector s
E F	an F element descendant of an E element
E > F	an F element child of an E element
E + F	an F element immediately preceded by an E element
E ~ F	an F element preceded by an E element

Basic Introduction of selenium

Hi All,
In my opinion selenium is a wonderful tool for automatic web application testing.
I believe selenium testing is a manual testing where a computer see a webpage content using xpath and css locators. To get succeded in selenium concentrate more on the User Interface ....
like how the website is behaving with user actions etc...

For testing a web application using selenium a user has to have aware on this below mentioned things.

• Locators ( XPath Locators , CSS Locators , DOM locators,Javascript locators)
  
• Basic scripting language knowledge
  

To master in selenium a user has to have good knowledge in locators first and have a basic knowledge on any language like Java,Perl,C# for writing the selenium scripts.So in my opinion learning any testing framework is not a big deal.
To rock in selenium spend dedicated time on learning XPATH and CSS locators first. Later on any testing framework utilization like JUNIT,TESTNG will be an added advantage.

I am about to share knowledge i have on xpath and css locators and dom locators.
