For Selenium jar (selenium-server-standalone-x.x.x.jar) file need to be downloaded from the http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/. In the page the following section
can be used Selenium Standalone Server. on 11/26 the version of the jar file is 3.7.1

To download third party drivers like IE, Chrome, Firefox , Edge look for the heading "Third Party Drivers, Bindings, and Plugins" in the page   http://www.seleniumhq.org/download

To get the browser agent details using selenium

 System.out

          .println(getDriver().executeScript("return navigator.userAgent", ""));

To set the property of a browser
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","c:\\Users\\libs\\chromedriver.exe")

To invoke the respective browser
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

To maximize the browser window we it is opened then use the below
     driver.manage().windows().maximize()

To clear the cache and cookies we use the below
     driver.manage().deleteAllCookies()

To browser a website page use the below
   driver.get("http://www.google.com")


Responsive testing of website 
 To check the behavior of the website in various devices like laptop, tablet , mobile and etc.

To set the screen size we have the following command
  Dimension dim = new Dimension(400,600);
  driver.manage().window().setSize(dim);
 

To close the browser using selenium
  driver.quit();  //All the windows of the browser will be closed by quit
  driver.close(); //Close the currently active window. When selenium opens three windows and current active window will be closed


To get the title of the page
 driver.getTitle();

To get the currentURL
 driver.getCurrentUrl()

Navigate methods

driver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com"); --> driver.get and navigate().to are same
driver.navigate().back(); --> back to the browsing history
driver.navigate().forward(); --> Forward to the browsing history
driver.navigate().refresh();  --> To reload the page


To Identify elements in selenium below are eight ways. They are called as Identifiers or Locators

Id
name
TagName
classname
LinkText
PartialLinkText
css
xPath


WebElement userElement= driver.findElement(By.name("uid"));
WebElement userElement= driver.findElement(By.id("uid"));

Xpath we have Relative and Absolute Xpath

Relative when we use the search will be slow

Relative Xptah

//html_tagname[@attribute=value]
//html_tagname[@attribute=value and  @attribute=value]
//html_tagname[@attribute=value or @attribute=value]

We also have functions for xpath

a. text() --> this can be used for anchor, td, div, span , h1 to h7 , body, li
b. contains()
c. starts-with()


//html_tagname[text()=value]
//htm_tagname[contains(@attribute,value)] or  //@htm_tagname[contains(text(),value)]
//html_tagname[starts-with (@attribute, value)]   or //@html_tagname[starts-with (text(), value)]

does not contain

//div[contains(@class,'errorInfoPanelItem')]//div[contains(@class,'p-col-12 no-pad')]//span[not(contains(@class,'bold'))]


Axes in xpath

a. preceding-sibling
b. following-sibling
c. preceding
d. following
e. Ancestor
f. Child


//html_tagname[@attribute='value']//axis::html_tagname2[@attribute=value]

in axis we have preceding-sibling or following-sibling or following or preceding or Ancestors or Child


findElement will return the first matching element when it returns more than one. //need to verify


sendKeys() --> To write test in a textbox we use this method
click()  --> To click on button
getText()
getAttribute()
clearText()

To select value in dropdown or combobox  we need to use Select class from selenium

Select --> org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select
to select the vale we have three options
selectByValue()
selectByIndex()
selectByVisibleText()
deselectAll()
deselectByIndex()
deselectByValue()
deselectByVisibleText()
getOptions()
getAllSelectedOptions()
getFirstSelectedOption()

Wait

a. PageLoadTimeout
b. ImplicitWait
c. ExplicitWait

For Explicit wait we need to be knowing more on the class ExpectedConditions


Thread.sleep() vs impilictwait()

Thread.sleep will wait for the time we specified and then will continue the process.
implicitwait will do pooling and once found it will resume the process .


Exceptions

a. NoSuchElementException
b. TimeoutException
c. WebDriverException --> When we close the browser which is opened by selenium and if the code runs then it will throw this Exception
d. NoAlertPresentException
e. NoSuchCookieException
f. StaleElementException

Frames :

to navigate to a frame or alert we need to use the method switchTo()

driver.swithTo().frame();

For frame we have three options

a. Identify by index
b. Identify by frame name
c. Identify by Webelement

driver.switchTo.alert();

to switch back to main window then use the below

driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

windowHandle() vs windowHandles()

To take screenshot in Selenium we will be using following class

TakesScreenshot


Design Patterns
Object Repository --> Page Object Model --> Page Object Factory

Framework
 Data Driven
 Keyword Driven
 Hybrid Driven

**********************************************************************

To stop and start Selenium Hub and Node we have two options 

Need to start  and stop the hub and node service on specific port 

Option 1:

to stop selenium hub and node we need to add the following in all the bat files 

"-servlet org.openqa.grid.web.servlet.LifecycleServlet"

to stop hub (if we start at specific port then it will be good )

http://localhost:4444/lifecycle-manager?action=shutdown

to stop node (we need to start the node at specific port )

http://192.168.143.38:33134/extra/LifecycleServlet?action=shutdown

Option 2 :

Need start the hub and node on specific port and while shutdown kill the process on the specific port 

a. Identify the process id running on specific port 

netstat -ano | findstr 4444

b. To kill process-id

taskkill /F /PID <<proceess-id>>
