Selenium - Soft Assertions

Thanks Tarun for providing feedback on Selenium Automation Assignment. His observation is correct. If one of Assertion fails this should not stop verifying rest of the cases.

On Google Search found a couple of solutions for this problem

• Soft asserts
• Using soft assertions in TestNG 

Would work on this suggestions soon :).

Selenium - Parsing Lists and Links in a Page

Next Example is to try looping through Lists and Links in a page
Followed the below steps
1. Created Sample Test Page link
2. Create a project and add required libraries. Verify earlier post

Below is the Example Code - Working Code

import static org.testng.Assert.assertTrue;

import java.util.Vector;

import org.testng.Assert;

import org.testng.annotations.*;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;

public class TestLists

{

     

public static Selenium selenium;

@BeforeTest

public void openBrowser()

{

      System.out.println("Before Test");

      selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iehta","http://sqlandsiva.blogspot.com/2011/01/test-page-for-selenium-example.html");

}

@Test

public void LoopthruElement()

{

try

{

      System.out.println("Running Test1");

      selenium.start();

      selenium.open("http://sqlandsiva.blogspot.com/2011/01/test-page-for-selenium-example.html");

      int j=1;

      while(selenium.isElementPresent("//div[@id='OrderList']/ol/li["+j+"]"))

      {

            System.out.println("Value is " + selenium.getText("//div[@id='OrderList']/ol/li["+j+"]"));

            j++;

      }

      j=1;

     

      while(selenium.isElementPresent("//div[@id='UnOrderedList']/ul/li["+j+"]"))

      {

            System.out.println("Value is " + selenium.getText("//div[@id='UnOrderedList']/ul/li["+j+"]"));

            j++;

      }

      j=1;

      while(selenium.isElementPresent("//div[@id='Links']/a["+j+"]"))

      {

            System.out.println("Value is " + selenium.getText("//div[@id='Links']/a["+j+"]"));

            j++;

      }

     

}

catch(Exception ex)

{

                  ex.toString();

}

}

}

This is tested and working code. Run it as TestNG Test. Below is the output for the program

I used firebug XPATH copier to get exact Xpath location. Below is snapshot of the same

Selenium Xpath Looping Example

Thanks to author for article Selenium IDE with an XPath Locator. I wanted to try the same example using TestNG code.

Followed the below steps
1. Created Sample Test Page link
2. Create a project and add required libraries. Verify earlier post

Below is the Example Code - Working Code

import static org.testng.Assert.assertTrue;

import java.util.Vector;

import org.testng.Assert;

import org.testng.annotations.*;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;

public class SeleniumXpath

{

     

public static Selenium selenium;

@BeforeTest

public void openBrowser()

{

      System.out.println("Before Test");

selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iehta","http://sqlandsiva.blogspot.com/2011/01/test-xml-page-for-selenium.html);

}

@Test

public void LoopthruElement()

{

try

{

      System.out.println("Running Test1");

      selenium.start();

      selenium.open("http://sqlandsiva.blogspot.com/2011/01/test-xml-page-for-selenium.html");

      int i=1,j=1;

      while(selenium.isElementPresent("//table[@id='firstTable']//tr["+i+"]/td["+j+"]"))

{

      while(selenium.isElementPresent("//table[@id='firstTable']//tr["+i+"]/td["+j+"]"))

                       

{

            System.out.println("Value is " + selenium.getText("//table[@id='firstTable']//tr["+i+"]/td["+j+"]"));

            j++;

      }

      j=1;

      i++;

}

}

catch(Exception ex)

{

                  ex.toString();

}

}

}

This is tested and working code. Run it as TestNG Test. I intend to add more examples in the page and improve on this example.

Learning Selenium - Part II

In continuation to my earlier post. One of my friend asked me Pagination in Selenium. I got help from one of my team members Avinash.

Learning's are
1. Install Firebug add in to firefox
2. Install Xpather add in to firefox
3. From Existing post I want to goto page 2 of Search Results
4. Choose Xpather Location as shown below

5. Select the Xpath for Selecting Second page
6. Add the below line of code as last line. Only from footer part I am selecting the xpath.
selenium.click("//div[@id='foot']/table[@id='nav']/tbody/tr/td[3]/a/span[1]");
7. Modified code snapshot as below

7. Search Results would take you to page 2 of results
