Execute Javascript

Executes an asynchronous piece of JavaScript	executeAsyncScript()
Executes JavaScript	executeScript()

Code Example:
if (driver instanceof JavascriptExecutor) {
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("alert('hello world');");
}

Take screenshot

Capture the screenshot and store

getScreenshotAs

getScreenshotAs — used to Capture the screenshot and store it in the specified location. This method throws WebDriverException. copy() method from the File Handler class is used to store the screenshot in a destination folder.
Code Example:
TakesScreenshot screenShot =(TakesScreenshot)driver;
FileHandler.copy(screenShot.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE), new File("path/to/destination/folder/screenshot.png"));

Cookies

addCookie(arg)	driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("foo", "bar"));
getCookies()	driver.manage().getCookies(); // to get all cookies
getCookieNamed()	driver.manage().getCookieNamed("foo");
deleteCookieNamed()	driver.manage().deleteCookieNamed("foo");
deleteCookie()	Cookie cookie1 = new Cookie("test2", "cookie2"); driver.manage().addCookie(cookie1); driver.manage().deleteCookie(cookie1); // deleting cookie object
deleteAllCookies()	driver.manage().deleteAllCookies(); // deletes all cookies

Page Loading Strategy

normal	ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions(); chromeOptions.setPageLoadStrategy(PageLoadStrategy.NORMAL); WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
eager: When setting to eager, Selenium WebDriver waits until DOMContentLoaded event fire is returned.	ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions(); chromeOptions.setPageLoadStrategy(PageLoadStrategy.EAGER); WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
none: When set to none Selenium WebDriver only waits until the initial page is downloaded.	ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions(); chromeOptions.setPageLoadStrategy(PageLoadStrategy.NONE); WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);

The document.readyState property of a document describes the loading state of the current document. By default, WebDriver will hold off on responding to a driver.get() (or) driver.navigate().to() call until the document ready state is complete
By default, when Selenium WebDriver loads a page, it follows the normal pageLoadStrategy.

Handle alerts: (Web-based alert pop-ups)

driver.switchTO().alert.getText()	to retrieve the alert message
driver.switchTO().alert.accept()	to accept the alert box
driver.switchTO().alert.dismiss()	to cancel the alert box
driver.switchTO().alert.sendKeys(“Text”)	to send data to the alert box

Find element VS Find elements

driver.findElement()	When no match has found(0) throws NoSuchElementException when 1 match found returns a WebElement instance when 2+ matches found returns only the first matching web element
driver.findElements()	when no macth has found (0) returns an empty list when 1 match found returns a list with one WebElement when 2+ matches found returns a list with all matching WebElements

Keyboard and Mouse events

keyboard events	keyDown(); keyUp(); sendKeys()
Mouse events	clickAndHold(); contextClick()// — performs the mouse right-click action; doubleClick(); dragAndDrop(source,target); dragAndDropBy(source,xOffset,yOffset); moveByOffset(xOffset,yOffset); moveByElement(); release()

Code Example:
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
Action actions = builder
.moveToElement("login-textbox")
.click()
.keyDown("login-textbox", Keys.SHIFT)
.sendKeys("login-textbox", "hello")
.keyUp("login-textbox", Keys.SHIFT)
.doubleClick("login-textbox")
.contextClick()
.build();

actions.perform() ;

Element validation

isEnabled()	determines if an element is enabled or not, returns a boolean.
isSelected()	determines if an element is selected or not, returns a boolean.
isDisplayed()	determines if an element is displayed or not, returns a boolean.

Handle multiple windows and tabs

getWindowHandle()	used to retrieve the handle of the current page (a unique identifier)
getWindowHandles()	used to retrieve a set of handles of the all the pages available
driver.switchTo().window(“windowName/handle”)	switch to a window
driver.close()	closes the current browser window
driver.quit();	This method Closes all windows opened by the WebDriver.

Switch Frames

Mentioning the frame index number, the Driver will switch to that specific frame	driver.switchTo.frame(int frameNumber)
Mentioning the frame element or ID, the Driver will switch to that specific frame	driver.switchTo.frame(string frameNameOrID)
Mentioning the frame web element, the Driver will switch to that specific frame	driver.switchTo.frame(WebElement frameElement)
Switching back to the main window	driver.switchTo().defaultContent()

Get methods in Selenium

getTitle()	used to retrieve the current title of the webpage
getCurrentUrl()	used to retrieve the current URL of the webpage
getPageSource()	used to retrieve the current page source of the webpage
getText()	used to retrieve the text of the specified web element
getAttribute()	used to retrieve the value specified in the attribute

Navigation

Refresh Page	driver.navigate().refresh()
Navigate forwards in the browser history	driver.navigate().forward()
Navigate backward in the browser history	driver.navigate().back()

Desired Capabilities-Chrome

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities(); caps.setCapability(“browserName”, “chrome”); caps.setCapability(“browserVersion”, “80.0””); caps.setCapability(“platformName”, “win10”);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(caps); // Pass the capabilities as an argument to the driver object

Desired Capabilities-Firefox

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities(); caps.setCapability(“browserName”, “firefox”); caps.setCapability(“browserVersion”, “81.0””); caps.setCapability(“platformName”, “win10”);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(caps); // Pass the capabilities as an argument to the driver object
