Selenium WebDriver Cheat Sheet

Below are some important code samples for those who are willing to learn Selenium automation.

Driver Initialization

WebDriver driver;

driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver = new SafariDriver();
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver = new EdgeDriver();

// Driver Profiling
//Firefox
//Load Firefox
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin","path/to/driver");
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
//load with add-on
File file = new File("path/to/add-on");
profile.addExtension(file);
//profile settings (setting up desired capabilities)
DesiredCapabilities capabilities= new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE,profile);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(capabilities);

//Chrome Options
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/path/to/chrome/driver");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
//Load extensions
File file= new File("path/to/extension");
options.addExtensions(file);
//Setting up Desired Capabilities
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY,options);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(capabilities);

Navigations

//Navigate to URL
driver.get("URL");
driver.navigate().to("URL");
//Navigate forward
driver.navigate().forward();
//Navigate backward
driver.navigate().back();
//Page refresh
driver.navigate().refresh();
//Switch to Iframe
driver.switchTo().frame("Frame name or ID");

Locators

//Single Web Element
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("element/id"));
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("element/xpath"));
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.className("element/class/name"));
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("element/css/selector"));
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("element/name"));
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.linkText("element/linkText"));
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.tagName("element/tagname"));

//List of Elements
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.id("element/id"));
List<WebElement> element = driver.findElements(By.xpath("element/xpath"));
List<WebElement> element = driver.findElements(By.className("element/class/name"));
List<WebElement> element = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("element/css/selector"));
List<WebElement> element = driver.findElements(By.name("element/name"));
List<WebElement> element = driver.findElements(By.linkText("element/linkText"));
List<WebElement> element = driver.findElements(By.tagName("element/tagname"));

Operations

WebDriver driver;
WebElement element;

//To Clear data in a text field
element.clear();
//To pass text to a field
element.sendKeys("Text");
//To click on a element
element.click();
//To submit a form
element.submit();
//To get a text in an element
element.getText();
//Get value of an element attribute
element.getAttribute("Attribute Name");
//Verify display
element.isDisplayed();
//Verify selected
element.isSelected();
//Verify enable 
element.isEnabled();

//Dropdowns(Lists)
Select select= new Select(element);
//Select by visible value
select.selectByVisibleText("Text");
//Select by value
select.selectByValue("value");
//Select by index
select.selectByIndex("index/Number");
//Deselect all options
select.deselectAll();
//Get a list of selected items
select.getAllSelectedOptions();

//Get page title
driver.getTitle();
//Get page URL
driver.getCurrentUrl();
//Get Source code of the page
driver.getPageSource();
//Close current Page
driver.close();
//Driver teardown
driver.quit();
