Using PhantomJSDriver(),We can speedup selenium webdriver scripts execution

Example script:

import java.util.List;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.phantomjs.PhantomJSDriver;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class TestPhantomJS {

@Test

public void GoogleSearch(){

WebDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver();

//  WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("http://google.com");

driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys("phantomjs");

driver.findElement(By.name("q")).submit();

List<WebElement> sites = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//cite"));

System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

int index=1;

for(WebElement site: sites){

String siteName=site.getText();

if(!siteName.equalsIgnoreCase(""))

System.out.println(index+++":--"+site.getText());

}

driver.close();

}

}

Most common functions using in Selenium WebDriver

1. IsElementPresent/Text Present  function in Selenium WebDriver
   1. Finding elements by using function that take argument of By classprivate boolean isElementPresent(WebDriver driver, By by)
try{
driver.findElement(by);
return true;
}
catch(Exception e)
{
return false;
}
}
   2. Using the size to decide whether element is there or not
      if(driver.findElements(Locator).size()>0
{
return true
}else
{
return false
}
}
   3. Finding the text using the PageSourcedriver.PageSource.Contains("TEXT that you want to see on the page");
2. Finding WebElement  by using various locators in WebDriver
   1. Using ID  WebElement welement = driver.findElement(By.id("Id from webpage"));
   2. Using Name  WebElement welement = driver.findElement(By.name("Name of WebElement"));
   3. Using Tag Name  WebElement welement = driver.findElement(By.tagName("tag name"));
   4. Using Xpath  WebElement welement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath of  webElement"));
   5. Using CSS  WebElement welement = driver.findElement(By.CSS("CSS locator path"));
   6. Using LinkText  WebElement welement = driver.findElement(By.LinkText("LinkText"));
3. Fetching pop-up message in Selenium-WebDriver
   this is the function that would help you in fetching the message
   
public static String getPopupMessage(final WebDriver driver) {
String message = null;
try {
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
message = alert.getText();
alert.accept();
} catch (Exception e) {
message = null;
}
System.out.println("message"+message);
return message;
}
4. Canceling pop-up in Selenium-WebDriver
   public static String cancelPopupMessageBox(final WebDriver driver) {
String message = null;
try {
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
message = alert.getText();
alert.dismiss();
} catch (Exception e) {
message = null;
}
return message;
}
5. Inserting string in Text Field in Selenium-WebDriverpublic static void insertText(WebDriver driver, By locator, String value) {
WebElement field = driver.findElement(locator);
field.clear();
field.sendKeys(value);
}
6. Reading ToolTip text in in Selenium-WebDriver
   public static String tooltipText(WebDriver driver, By locator){
String tooltip = driver.findElement(locator).getAttribute("title");
return tooltip;
}
7. Selecting Radio Button in Selenium-WebDriver
   public static void selectRadioButton(WebDriver driver, By locator, String value){ List select = driver.findElements(locator);
for (WebElement element : select)
{
if (element.getAttribute("value").equalsIgnoreCase(value)){
element.click();
}
}
8.  Selecting CheckBox in Selenium-WebDriver
   
public static void selectCheckboxes(WebDriver driver, By locator,String value)
{
List abc = driver.findElements(locator);
List list = new ArrayListArrays.asList(value.split(",")));
for (String check : list){
for (WebElement chk : abc){
if(chk.getAttribute("value").equalsIgnoreCase(check)){
chk.click();
}}}}
9. Selecting Dropdown in Selenium-WebDriverpublic static void selectDropdown(WebDriver driver, By locator, String value){
new Select (driver.findElement(locator)).selectByVisibleText(value); }
10. Selecting searched dropdown in Selenium-WebDriverpublic static void selectSearchDropdown(WebDriver driver, By locator, String value){
driver.findElement(locator).click();
driver.findElement(locator).sendKeys(value);
driver.findElement(locator).sendKeys(Keys.TAB);
}
11. Uploading file using  Selenium-WebDriverpublic static void uploadFile(WebDriver driver, By locator, String path){
driver.findElement(locator).sendKeys(path);
}
12. Downloading file in Selenium-WebDriverHere we will click on a link and will download the file with a predefined name at some specified location.
    public static void downloadFile(String href, String fileName) throws Exception{
URL url = null;
URLConnection con = null;
int i;
url = new URL(href);
con = url.openConnection();
// Here we are specifying the location where we really want to save the file.
File file = new File(".//OutputData//" + fileName);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(con.getInputStream());
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream(file));
while ((i = bis.read()) != -1) {
bos.write(i);
}
bos.flush();
bis.close();
}
13. Handling multiple Pop ups 
    read  Handling Multiple Windows in WebDriver
14. Wait() in Selenium-WebDriver
    1. Implicit Wait :
       driver.manage.timeouts().implicitlyWait(10,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    2. Explicit Wait:WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditons.elementToBeClickable(By.id/xpath/name("locator"));
    3.  Using Sleep method of java
       Thread.sleep(time in milisecond)
15. Navigation method of WebDriver Interface
    1. to() method (its a alternative of get() method)
       driver.navigate().to(Url);
       This will open the URL that you have inserted as argument
    2. back() – use to navigate one step back from current position in recent history syntax == driver.navigate().back();
    3. forward() – use to navigate one step forward in browser historydriver.navigate().forward();
    4. refresh() – This will refresh you current open urldriver.navigate().refresh();
16. Deleting all Cookies before doing any kind of action  driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
    This will delete all cookies
17. Pressing any Keyboard key using Action builder class of WebDriverWebDriver has rewarded us with one class Action to handle all keyboard and Mouse action. While creating a action builder its constructor takes WebDriver as argument. Here I am taking example of pressing Control key
    Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
builder.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).click(someElement).click(someOtherElement).keyUp(Keys.CONTROL).build().perform();When we press multiple keys or action together then we need to bind all in a single command by using build() method and perform() method intend us to perform the action.
    In the same way you can handle other key actions.
18. Drag and Drop action in Webdriver
    In this we need to specify both WebElement  like Source and target and for draganddrop Action class has a method with two argument so let see how it normally look like
    WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("source"));
WebElement target = driver.findElement(By.name("target"));
(new Actions(driver)).dragAndDrop(element, target).perform();

Simple Blog creation using Rails(MVC)

Setting up our Rails app

rails new quick_blog -T

Entering this command into your command prompt will cause Rails to generate a new application and begin to install dependencies for your application. This process may take a few minutes, so you should let it continue. Once it has finished type:

cd quick_blog

To change into the folder where your application is stored. If you look at the contents of this folder you’ll see:

This is the standard structure of a new Rails application. Once you learn this structure it makes working with Rails easier since everything is in a standard place. Next we’ll run this fresh application to check that our Rails install is working properly. Type:

rails server

Open your web-browser and head to: http://localhost:3000 you should see something that looks like:

Now that you’ve created the Rails application you should open this folder using Sublime. Open up Sublime, then open the quick_blog folder that was just generated.

Creating basic functionality

Now we’re ready to get started building an actual blog. In your command prompt press Ctrl-c to stop the Rails server, or open a new command prompt and navigate to your Rails application folder. Then you can use a Rails generator to build some code for you:

rails g scaffold Post title body:text

You’ll be presented with something that looks like:

An important file that was generated was the migration file: db/migrate/20130422001725_create_posts.rb Note that you will have a different set of numbers in yours.

class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :posts do |t|
      t.string :title
      t.text :body

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

This file is some Ruby code that is a database agnostic way to manage your schema. You can see that this code is to create a table called Posts and to create two columns in this table, a title column and a body column. Finally we need to instruct Rails to apply this to our database. Type:

rake db:migrate

Once this command has run you can start up your Rails server again with rails server and then navigate tohttp://localhost:3000/posts to see the changes you’ve made to your application.

From here you can play around with your application. Go ahead and create a new blog post.
