{

final HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
try
{
final HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://www.google.com/");

System.out.println("executing request " + httpget.getURI());

// Create a response handler
final ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
final String responseBody = httpclient.execute(httpget, responseHandler);

@Test
public void homePage() throws Exception
{
final WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
final HtmlPage page = webClient.getPage("http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net");

System.out.println(page.getTitleText());

assertEquals("Welcome to HtmlUnit", page.getTitleText());

final String pageAsXml = page.asXml();
assertTrue(pageAsXml.contains("<body class="composite">"));

final String pageAsText = page.asText();
assertTrue(pageAsText.contains("Support for the HTTP and HTTPS protocols"));

webClient.closeAllWindows();
}

@Test
public void getElements() throws Exception
{
final WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
final HtmlPage page = webClient.getPage("http://some_url");
final HtmlDivision div = page.getHtmlElementById("some_div_id");
final HtmlAnchor anchor = page.getAnchorByName("anchor_name");

webClient.closeAllWindows();
}

Luxus :)

Note: Also html tables are supported. They wrote easy wrapper classes to walk though them. … Handy!

Basic Selenium example

@Test
public void testSeleniumWithFirefox() throws InterruptedException
{
final WebDriver webDriver = new FirefoxDriver();

webDriver.get("http://www.majug.de");

final WebElement veranstaltungenLink = webDriver.findElement(By.linkText("Veranstaltungen"));

veranstaltungenLink.click();

// Close the browser
Thread.sleep(5000);
webDriver.quit();
}

Selenium WebDriver Locator Strategies

It's also possible to call findElements(...) to get a List<> of WebElements.:

List<WebElement> hits = webDriver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));


DevTools

Selenium WebDriver Interactions

If you got a webElement, you can...

● webElement.click() it

● webElement.sendKeys(...) to it

● webElement.submit() on it.

It is also possible to perform “Actions“ like DoubleClick, DragAndDrop, ClickAndHold, …
with the “Actions“ class.

Selenium WebDriver Pitfalls

Newbie Pitfalls:

● Selenium doesn't wait until the hole site is loaded (Keyword: Implicit wait)
● webElement.xPath(“@// ...“) starts from root of the DOM (use “.//...“ instead)
● Google brings up “Selenium RC“ solutions. This is the old Selenium project.
● A reference to a WebElement will become invalid if the driver “moves“ to
another page.
● Firefox doesn't run on our CI because it is a headless system (try Xvfb)
● New XPath 2.0 functions (like ends-with(...)) are failing. This is because Selenium
uses the driver's native Xpath engine. For Firefox this means it is Xpath 1.0 today.
