Selenium Jump Start.

Step 1. Download Tools

• Eclipse IDE
• JDK
• If you use Python...
• Google Chrome
• Selenium Package
• Google ChromeDriver

Step 2. Start a Java Project From Eclipse

• Right click the project and go to the bottom to open "properties.
• Choose Libraries and add external JARs
• Copy your executable chromedriver to Java Project folder
• In the following example, we put it under "./drivers"
• In MAC, you need to manually "chmod +x" or "chmod 755"
• In PC, the file name has ".exe" suffix
• Go to the "src" folder, right click to add new class
• Insert the following codes
• When you run, run as JUnit Test.

package com.yourdomain.topfolder.subfolder;
import java.util.List;
import ...

import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class myDemo {

        private WebDriver driver;

        @Before
        public void setUp() {
                System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
                                "./drivers/chromedriver.exe");

                driver = new ChromeDriver(); // launch the browser
                driver.get("http://www.ebay.com");
        }

        @After
        public void tearDown() {
                driver.quit(); // close the browser
        }

        @Test
        public void testById() {
           ...
        }
}

Step 3. Use Inspect to find elements for testing

WebElement elem = driver.findElement(By.id("title"));
assertEquals("Hello World", elem.getText());

List elems = driver.findElements(By.tagName("h1"));
assertEquals("Hello World", elems.get(0).getText());

// Pay attention to which page you are
// In home page
WebElement input = driver.findElement(By.id("twotabsearchtextbox"));
input.clear();
input.sendKeys("selenium webdriver books");
WebElement searchIcon = driver.findElement(By.className("nav-input"));
searchIcon.click();

WebElement searchButton = 
        driver.findElement(By.xpath(
            “/html/body/div[2]/header/div/div[1]/div[3]/
              div/form/div[2]/div/ input”));
searchButtom.click();
System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.id("s-result-count")).getText());

// Now I am in the result page!
WebElement status = driver.findElement(By.id("s-result-count"));
System.out.println(status.getText());
assertEquals( 
        "1-16 of 65 results for \"selenium webdriver books\"",
        status.getText()
);
