Getting google search auto suggestions using Webdriver(Selenium 2)

Getting google search auto suggestions using Webdriver(Selenium 2)

In the google search when we start typing any search query google will start auto suggestions. All these search suggestions are part of a WebTable. If we would like to capture all these search suggestions then we have to just iterate through the table.

Here is the sample code which will start typing "vam" and then capture all search suggestions .

import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class SearchSuggestion {
 
WebDriver driver;
 
 @BeforeTest
 public void start(){
   driver = new FirefoxDriver(); 
 }
  
 @Test
  public void SearchSuggestion() {
  
  driver.get("http://google.com");
  driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).sendKeys("vam");
  driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
  
   WebElement table = driver.findElement(By.className("gssb_m")); 
   List rows = table.findElements(By.tagName("tr")); 
   Iterator i = rows.iterator(); 
   System.out.println("-----------------------------------------"); 
   while(i.hasNext()) { 
           WebElement row = i.next(); 
           List columns = row.findElements(By.tagName("td")); 
           Iterator j = columns.iterator(); 
           while(j.hasNext()) { 
                   WebElement column = j.next(); 
                   System.out.println(column.getText()); 
           } 
           System.out.println(""); 
            
   System.out.println("-----------------------------------------"); 
   } 
  } 
}

Here is what we will see in the browser after running the above code.

5 different ways to refresh a webpage using Selenium Webdriver

5 different ways to refresh a webpage using Selenium Webdriver

Here are the 5 different ways, using which we can refresh a webpage.There might be even more :)

There is no special extra coding. I have just used the existing functions in different ways to get
 it work. Here they are :

1.Using sendKeys.Keys method

driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/SignUp");
driver.findElement(By.id("firstname-placeholder")).sendKeys(Keys.F5);

2.Using navigate.refresh()  method

driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/SignUp");  
driver.navigate().refresh();

3.Using navigate.to() method

driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/SignUp");  
driver.navigate().to(driver.getCurrentUrl());

4.Using get() method

driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/SignUp");  
driver.get(driver.getCurrentUrl());

5.Using sendKeys() method

driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/SignUp"); 
driver.findElement(By.id("firstname-placeholder")).sendKeys("\uE035");

Find All Links In a page

Find All Links
Testers might be in a situation to find all the links on a website. We can easily
do so by finding all elements with the Tag Name "a", as we know that for any
link reference in HTML, we need to use "a" (anchor) tag.

import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class getalllinks
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.navigate().to("http://www.calculator.net");
java.util.List<WebElement> links =
driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
System.out.println("Number of Links in the Page is " +
links.size());
for (int i = 1; i<=links.size(); i=i+1)
{
System.out.println("Name of Link# " + i - +
links.get(i).getText());
}
}
}
Output
The output of the script would be thrown to the console as shown below. Though
there are 65 links, only partial output is shown below.
