I am watching your selenium videos.and believe me I'm becoming too good in selenium day by day. Your videos are very clear, concise and to the point. And these days, I'm attending interviews.
I have couple of doubts. Please help me to clear.
1. Why I always need to launch new browser every-time when I run selenium code. Why I won't run the selenium code in the same browser in which which I am currently working with my stuffs.
--->Is there any method to do the same? Then please make a video tutorial to explain.
2. Is there any method to fetch our the list of navigated browser history?
Waiting for your reply.And Thank you so much for such amazing and cost free content

Thank you very much very useful
Thank you sir. the video is very helpful
Very good appreciate your knowledge..
Great Explanation...
Great Explanation!!!
Very useful tutorial, thank you!
Super Naveen Sir....
Sir , You have to put Explicit wait before listing the web element . because some time it gives count 0 , when we put the wait for that it always gives the right count .
you just saved my day..i just had to implement a wait condition and it worked like a charm.
Thanyou Manas Sir, now its working by taking implicit time.
Thank you so much Naveen ❤️
really good concept.
Hi Naveen,
There is an issue ---it is printing all suggestion if we are not clicking any element but if we are clicking any element then it is printing uptill that element only and rest of the suggested element are not printed.

Hi Naveen
I want to ask one question..is there any option to do automation for canvas application ?
hello naveen this code is not working can you please give me the Xpath (i am unable to find proper class for xpath) and i tried with sbct and sbtc both ..
Instead of using descendant if we use li// div then also it will take the child div. right?
Hello Naveen,
Thankyou so much for your videos they are very helpful.
Can you please explain the difference between / and // while writing xpath?
As per my research what i found is / will make selenium search the tag immediate next to the search node,where // will enable selenium to search the entire document is it true?
Please help me with your explaination on this.
Thanks in advance.
yes correct!
Those who are facing issue and confused with span tag in between can try this xpath:-
List list=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[@role='listbox' and @class='G43f7e']/parent::div[@class='OBMEnb']//preceding-sibling::div[@class='mkHrUc']//li/descendant::div[@class='wM6W7d WggQGd']"));
Also, if you are getting count as 0 make sure you give explicit wait just before writing your xpath
Thanks bro,it works
Thanks 😃.
Hi Naveen, using find elements I am trying to do as you have shown in the video but on the web page I have 11 suggestions but when I am printing it's coming 1, checked the XPath it's correct. Can you please help me with this?
Thanks.
at the last of div, if we have span , like the search value is show as testing , in this case what to do , what is the xpath syntax....

No I believe it is what I have pasted here
Check is your script contains wait/implicitlyWait statement or not... if not add wait it will work... it works with and without descendant.

Sir I have implemented this but when I did automation testing on ibibo flights I am unable to select the destination, I found problem in finding the locator, I beleive it is angular js application and difficult to find the locator, sir please try it is some how different
was asked in cognizant today
Hi Naveen,
First of all, thanks a lot for preparing video lectures.
I have a question on this video. You have used //li/descendant::div in the xpath, however I tried with //li//div. The number and type of elements returned were same in both the cases. So, are both the ways right of doing this or only in this case it is returning the same elements.
If both are right way than is descendant equivalent to double slash ("//") and child equivalent to single slash ("/").
You response is awaited.
Thanks,
Chirag
Hi Naveen . Great to see your videos. when i was practicing dynamic google search I am getting a after div where we select a particular choice out of suggestion list. i used the class as Sb11 but after that there is Span tag because of whihc i am getting total list as zero. could you please suggest . used the code as below
List list = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[@role='listbox']//li/descendant::div[@class='sb11']"));
Hi@swapna M did you get a resolution?
Use driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS); after launching the browser if you haven't already. Also recheck the class name again since Google changes the code often.
why we use colons while writing the dynamic expath
This ain't working. I am getting the size as 0. Also, the source code of google page has changed. please help.
