Selenium 4: Chrome DevTools API

In Selenium 4, there is an Interface for Chrome DevTools API that lets you play with DevTools. Here is a list of few things that we can achieve by using DevTools API with Selenium: 1. Use Console capabilities 2. Emulate network conditions 3. Perform security operations 4. Get performance and Metrics of our Browser/Network The complete API can be found here: https://lnkd.in/f7ffwZq Showing below how we can listen to Chrome Console logs and close the browser using the "Devtools" interface. public static void chromeDevTools() throws InterruptedException, IOException { try { chromeDevTools = driver.getDevTools(); chromeDevTools.createSession(); message = "Hi everyone, this is Dheeraj."; driver.get("https://lnkd.in/fM5JmnZ"); // execute Script to write console message driver.executeScript("console.log('" + message + "');"); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { // Close browser gracefully. chromeDevTools.send(new Command<>("Browser.close", ImmutableMap.of())); } selenium4 seleniumautomation automationtesting testing testAutomation

How to Unzip files in Selenium (Java)?

1) Using Java (Lengthy way) : Create a utility and use it:>> import java.io.BufferedOutputStream; import org.openqa.selenium.io.Zip; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.zip.ZipEntry; import java.util.zip.ZipInputStream;   public class UnzipUtil {     private static final int BUFFER_SIZE = 4096;     public void unzip (String zipFilePath, String destDirectory) throws IOException {         File destDir = new File(destDirectory);         if (!destDir.exists()) {             destDir.mkdir();         }         ZipInputStream zipIn = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(zipFilePath));         ZipEntry entry = zipIn.getNextEntry();         // to iterates over entries in the zip folder         while (en...

The use of Verbose attribute in testNG or POM.xml (maven-surefire-plugin)

At times, we see some weird behavior in your testNG execution and feel that the information displayed is insufficient and would like to see more details. At other times, the output on the console is too verbose and we may want to only see the errors. This is where a verbose attribute can help you- it is used to define the amount of logging to be performed on the console. The verbosity level is 0 to 10, where 10 is most detailed. Once you set it to 10, you'll see that console output will contain information regarding the tests, methods, and listeners, etc. <suite name="Suite" thread-count="5" verbose="10"> Note* You can specify -1 and this will put TestNG in debug mode. The default level is 0. Alternatively, you can set the verbose level through attribute in "maven-surefire-plugin" in pom.xml, as shown in the image. #testNG #automationTesting #verbose # #testAutomation

Stop Overengineering: Why Test IDs Beat AI-Powered Locator Intelligence for UI Automation

  We have all read the blogs. We have all seen the charts showing how Generative AI can "revolutionize" test automation by magically resolving locators, self-healing broken selectors, and interpreting UI changes on the fly. There are many articles that paints a compelling picture of a future where tests maintain themselves. Cool story. But let’s take a step back. Why are we bending over backward to make tests smart enough to deal with ever-changing DOMs when there's a simpler, far more sustainable answer staring us in the face? -             Just use Test IDs. That’s it. That’s the post. But since blogs are supposed to be more than one sentence, let’s unpack this a bit. 1. Test IDs Never Lie (or Change) Good automation is about reliability and stability. Test IDs—like data-testid ="submit-button"—are predictable. They don’t break when a developer changes the CSS class, updates the layout, or renames an element. You know...
