SELENIUM Browser Commands | Handle Browser Commands in Selenium

Browser Commands in Selenium :

Selenium gives an order to open a URL, click on the button, type in textbox, turn off the browser, and perform actions such as closing the browser etc.

We can do a lot of command operations in the webdriver to automate the software application.

Selenium will have to make an instance of a webdriver to handle browser commands.

Create WebDriver instance to Handle Browser Commands in Selenium:

// Creating a FireFox Driver Object

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

// Creating a FireFox Driver Object

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

Get Command:

“get()”: The command () command is used to open a new browser window and it will get / receive the page you provided.

Passing string URLs as parameters to navigate to a web page.

It gives the string as a parameter and gives zero i.e. nothing.

// Using get command redirect to url

driver.get("https://stqatools.com/");

// Using get command redirect to url

driver.get("https://stqatools.com/");

Get Title:

“getTitle()”: This command is used to get the title of the current page.

It does not allow any parameter and its return type string.

// Using getTitle command get current url Title

driver.getTitle();

// Using getTitle command get current url Title

driver.getTitle();

Get Text:

“getText()”: This command is used to obtain the text of the element.

Able to store element text in string.

// get Text of particular element and save into string

String Button_Text = driver.findElement(By.id("Button")).getText();

// get Text of particular element and save into string

String Button_Text = driver.findElement(By.id("Button")).getText();

Get Current URL Command:

“getCurrentUrl()”: This command is used to get the current URL of the browser.

This method currently returns a string containing URLs opened in the browser window, it does not allow any parameter and its return type string.

// get Existing url and save into string

String Current_url = driver.getCurrentUrl();

// get Existing url and save into string

String Current_url = driver.getCurrentUrl();

Get Page Source Command:

“getPageSource()”: This command is used to get the source code of the page.

It does not allow any parameter and its return value is string.

// get Existing page source and save into string

String Page_Source = driver.getPageSource();

// get Existing page source and save into string

String Page_Source = driver.getPageSource();

Close Command:

“close()”: This method destroys the existing window which is controlled by WebDriver.

It does not allow any parameter and its return type is zero.

This will end the browser, if it’s just the currently open window.

// close the browser or page currently which is having the focus

driver.close();

// close the browser or page currently which is having the focus

driver.close();

Quit Command:

“quit()”: This method closes all windows opened by WebDriver.

It does not allow any parameter and its return type is zero.

It will automatically close all open windows and eliminate the browser.

// Shut down or destroy the web driver instance(Close all the windows)

driver.quit();

// Shut down or destroy the web driver instance(Close all the windows)

driver.quit();

Maximize a browser:

“maximize()”: The maximum () command is used to maximize the new open window.

// Maximize the Browser

driver.manage().window().maximize();

// Maximize the Browser

driver.manage().window().maximize();

Minimize a browser:

“setPosition()”: The setPosition command is able to minimize the browser command.

// Minimize the Browser

driver.manage().window().setPosition(new Point(0, -1000));

// Minimize the Browser

driver.manage().window().setPosition(new Point(0, -1000));

Example of Browser Commands:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Point;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Browser_Commands {

public static void main(String[] args)throws InterruptedException{

     // TODO Auto-generated method stub
     WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

     // Wait For Page To Load
     driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

     // Using get command redirect to url
     driver.get("https://stqatools.com/");

     // Get current url Title &amp; store into string
     String Title = driver.getTitle();

     // Get Text of particular element and save into string
     String Button_Text = driver.findElement(By.id("Button")).getText();

     // Get Existing url and save into string
     String Current_url = driver.getCurrentUrl();

     // Get Existing page source and save into string
     String Page_Source = driver.getPageSource();                       

     // Maximize the Browser
     driver.manage().window().maximize();

     // Minimize the Browser
     driver.manage().window().setPosition(new Point(0, -1000));

     // C the browser or page currently which is having the focus.
     driver.close();

     // Shut down or destroy the web driver instance (Close all the windows)
     driver.quit();   
  }
