B4J Library Selenium Browser Automation - Create any Robot with Browser

Selenium WebDriver - Mastering Test Automation with Selenium

What is Selenium?
Selenium is an open source automated testing suite for web applications across different browsers and platforms. It is quite similar to HP Quick Test Professional (QTP) only that Selenium focuses on automating web-based applications.

Selenium is not just a single tool but a suite of software's, each catering to different testing needs of an organization.

Based on Selenium WebDrivers, this new Library for B4J can automate browsers and create any robot and get any information from websites.

And you can use with or Without UI



Step 1:
Download the library and dependencies and put in your B4J Library Folder

https://visualnet.ddns.me/vncorp/store




Step 2:
Download the ChromeDriver for your platform.
Can be used on Windows/Linux/MacOSX, just download correct driver for your platform on:

http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

TIP: Inside the samples you already have ChromeDriver.exe for windows


Step 3:
Try the samples


Sample 1: (SampleNasdaq.zip) Open Nasdaq.com website and get the top stocks on market

Sample 2: (SampleOyster.zip) Open UK TLF website for retrieve Oysters card and balance from each one

Check with a few lines of code you can retrieve a table from nasdaq website
B4X: 
Dim objSelenium As Selenium
objSelenium.DebugMode = True
objSelenium.Initialize("chromedriver.exe","objSelenium")
objSelenium.Navigate("https://www.nasdaq.com/")
Dim lstElements As List = objSelenium.findElementList("indexTable")
For Each k As String In lstElements
      Log(k)
Next

Hello Fabio,

Is already update with this new feature, get the latest version on first post (v1.0.3).

Just add arguments BEFORE initialize, like this:
B4X: 
objSelenium.addArgument("--headless")
objSelenium.Initialize("chromedriver.exe","objSelenium")

you can add more than one, like this:

B4X: 
objSelenium.addArgument("--headless")
objSelenium.addArgument("--arg2")
objSelenium.addArgument("--arg3")
objSelenium.addArgument("--arg4")
objSelenium.Initialize("chromedriver.exe","objSelenium")

Does this library create an HTML report once you have tested something?

Hello Alejandro,

B4X: 
Dim elem As Object = objSelenium.findElementByClassName("navGuestGetOyster")
Log(objSelenium.AttributeFromWebElement(elem,"src"))

get the version 1.1.0

Sorry I am starting test the library and may be my question is simple, Is possible go to the end the page to the page charge all data?
Many web site only show 10, 20 data information and when go to the end the page scrolling, refresh page with more data.
May be I can use sendkey but I don't know the element we need.
By other hand, is it possible run javascript?
I am looking to do some like that:
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
//Creating an object 'action'
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
//open SoftwareTestingMaterial.com
driver.get(Site URL); // Give site URL as name of the web page
//sleep for 3secs to load the page
Thread.sleep(3000);
//SCROLL DOWN
action.sendKeys(Keys.PAGE_DOWN).build().perform();
Thread.sleep(3000);
//SCROLL UP
action.sendKeys(Keys.PAGE_UP).build().perform();

Hello first thanks for your wonderffull library, i have some questions
1. i can resize Chrome windows ?
2. Works with Gecko driver?
3. I Try know if a control exist with objSelenium.IsDisplayed(Control) before click but i receive crash, i solve this with try catch but i think is not correct.
4. After Control Click page is redirect but objSelenium_onNavigate() is not fired, this is critical for my Robot, how i can detect new page is loaded.
5. How i can donate if i decide migrate to Selenium.

Thanks again
Ronald.

Hello my friend,
1. i can resize Chrome windows ?

I can see on selenium this option, but is not yet implemented on my library, I can do this, yes...
1594811561738.png

2. Works with Gecko driver?

No, so far, just with chrome. Probably in the future yes.

3. I Try know if a control exist with objSelenium.IsDisplayed(Control) before click but i receive crash, i solve this with try catch but i think is not correct.

I have to investigate on original component, because I not do anything when you call this method, probably this will be fix on original library, not depend of me

4. After Control Click page is redirect but objSelenium_onNavigate() is not fired, this is critical for my Robot, how i can detect new page is loaded.

Can you give me some example of your code?

5. How i can donate if i decide migrate to Selenium.

You can see the paypal button on first post

does the wrapper support adding cookies similar to this method within the driver such as:

.addCookie(new Cookie("key", "value"));

Or can this be done using an attribute?
