Want to clear all inputs in a form quickly?


While submitting a form, at times, we get a use case where we need to first clear the default/pre-filled values of all the fields in the form and then enter our desired value.


Usually, we do this for every field:

WebElement firstName = driver.findElement(By.id("Form_submitForm_FullName"));

email.clear();

email.sendKeys("Dheeraj");


Here we are locating an element, and assigning it to a WebElement. After that, we send commands:

> clear() to clear the value into the input field 

> And then the sendKeys() to fill it in with a new desired value.


But isn’t it time-consuming to find all the fields in the form and then clear each field 1 by 1? 


Here is the faster alternative…

You can send a Javascript command to clear all the fields in one shot:

document.getElementById('Form_submitForm').reset()


This is just an alternative to reduce some test execution time. You can use any approach that works best for you.


Here is the working example:

public class Form {

WebDriver driver;

@Test

private void testClearForm() throws InterruptedException {


WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.addArguments("start-maximized");

driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

driver.get("https://www.orangehrm.com/contact-sales/");


driver.findElement(By.id("Form_submitForm_FullName")).sendKeys("Dheeraj");

driver.findElement(By.id("Form_submitForm_CompanyName")).sendKeys("TestCompany");

driver.findElement(By.id("Form_submitForm_JobTitle")).sendKeys("TestQA");

Select drpNoOfEmployees = new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("NoOfEmployees")));

drpNoOfEmployees.selectByVisibleText("16 - 20");

driver.findElement(By.id("Form_submitForm_Contact")).sendKeys("9090909090");

driver.findElement(By.id("Form_submitForm_Email")).sendKeys("test@dg.com");

driver.findElement(By.id("Form_submitForm_Comment")).sendKeys("Test Comments");


Thread.sleep(4000);

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("document.getElementById('Form_submitForm').reset()");


}

}

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

Encode/Decode the variable/response using Postman itself

We get a lot of use cases where we may have to implement Base64 encoding and/or decoding while building our APIs. And, if you are wondering if it is possible to encode/decode the variable/response using Postman itself or how to encode/decode the token or password in postman and save it in a variable? To Base64 encode/decode, the quickest way is to use JavaScript methods btoa, atob: atob - It turns base64-encoded ASCII data back to binary. btoa - It turns binary data to base64-encoded ASCII. Sample code : var responseBody = pm.response.json(); var parsedPwd = JSON.parse(atob(responseBody.password)); // presuming password is in the payload pm.collectionVariables.set("password", parsedPwd);
