Selenium Browser Helper

Then, you can access the classes like this:

• webdriver.Firefox
• webdriver.FirefoxProfile
• webdriver.Chrome
• webdriver.ChromeOptions
• webdriver.Ie
• webdriver.Opera
• webdriver.PhantomJS
• webdriver.Remote
• webdriver.DesiredCapabilities

Selenium Locating Elements Helper

There are various strategies to locate elements in a page. You can use the most appropriate one for your case.

Selenium provides the following methods to locate elements in a page:

• find_element_by_id
• find_element_by_name
• find_element_by_xpath
• find_element_by_link_text
• find_element_by_partial_link_text
• find_element_by_tag_name
• find_element_by_class_name
• find_element_by_css_selector

To find multiple elements (these methods will return a list):

• find_elements_by_name
• find_elements_by_xpath
• find_elements_by_link_text
• find_elements_by_partial_link_text
• find_elements_by_tag_name
• find_elements_by_class_name
• find_elements_by_css_selector

Apart from the public methods given above, there are two private methods which might be useful with locators in page objects. These are the two private methods: find_element and find_elements.

Example usage:

fromselenium.webdriver.common.byimportBydriver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//button[text()="Some text"]')
driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, '//button')

These are the attributes available for By class:

ID="id"XPATH="xpath"LINK_TEXT="link text"PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT="partial link text"NAME="name"TAG_NAME="tag name"CLASS_NAME="class name"CSS_SELECTOR="css selector"

Example using Selenium Locating Elements:

login_form=driver.find_element_by_id('loginForm')
heading1=driver.find_element_by_tag_name('h1')
continue=driver.find_element_by_name('continue')
username=driver.find_element_by_name('username')
password=driver.find_element_by_name('password')
content=driver.find_element_by_class_name('content')
content=driver.find_element_by_css_selector('p.content')
continue_link=driver.find_element_by_link_text('Continue')
continue_link=driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text('Conti')
login_form=driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/form[1]")
login_form=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//form[1]")
login_form=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//form[@id='loginForm']")
username=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//form[input/@name='username']")
username=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//form[@id='loginForm']/input[1]")
username=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@name='username']")
clear_button=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@name='continue'][@type='button']")
clear_button=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//form[@id='loginForm']/input[4]")

Selenium Getting Started

Simple Usage Selenium

If you have installed Selenium Python bindings, you can start using it from Python like this.

fromseleniumimportwebdriverfromselenium.webdriver.common.keysimportKeysdriver=webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
assert"Python"indriver.titleelem=driver.find_element_by_name("q")
elem.clear()
elem.send_keys("pycon")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
assert"No results found."notindriver.page_sourcedriver.close()
