Hi Professor, earlier i was thinking that learning programming languages are such a big task but after seen your way of teaching in videos I'm really very much interested to learn and came to know that programming languages are not big one. Thanks a lot for your dedicated service without expecting anything from your viewers. Its a great thing and really it would be appreciated. Once again thank you so much professor.
And i have one doubt in this tutorial - here you have used "size" to get no of elements are there in drop down. But in earlier tutorial you had used "getsize" to bring their size of text button. So can you please help me out for this different.
size is a function to calculate the elements in the list. getSize is a selenium function to find the height and width of a given element.
@@LearnAutomationOnline thanks a lot for your prompt reply Professor.

I have a doubt. how to select a sub-drop down option which is dependant on a drop-down options and that sub-drop down option is enabled only after the first drop down index value is selected
You have to interact with the first drop down. For example, lets say there is a country drop down, if you select that, you will have another drop down with the states. So if you perform the first option, then the second one will be available and you can select the states from it.
Hi. A interviewer asked me how to handle dynamic drop-down,how to explain bro?

Hi Arul, Your video's are very clear to understand. I have tried dropdown "Get the Number of options" but it is showing error "Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.UnexpectedTagNameException: Element should have been "select" but was "option", and also try to sendkeys " dropdown1.sendKeys("Cucumber");". Unable to point out the dropdown field. can u please clarify the issues.
That means u haven’t given the correct locator for select web element. Instead of providing the select you gave one of the options tag.

Hi sir, Select select=new Select(dropdown1); this line not understand sir. So, pls explain this line sir
Please give some other website for the practice because leaf ground is not working
If you haven't subscribed and enabled notifications , pls do. I have already updated a practice website. Refer community posts. It will be difficult for me to repeat the same things over and again.
Hi sir, since the exception is thrown by main method and jvm will terminate the program seeing thread.sleep .How is the program working completely normal here? Can you please tell me
If you put the sleep after the line which will throw exception, u will get exception and not a normal execution. If u put it before, the process will be suspended for given time, and by the time it resumes, the elements will be available and there is no place for exception
3 in line 25 is not inside double codes. Whereas 2 & selenium in lines 26 & 27 respectively r inside double codes. May I know the reason. When to choose double coeds & when not to.
If we select by index method number. Integer will not be inside double quotes. Whereas, string will be inside double quotes. Select by visible text and select by value requires string value.

HI Arul...How to select multiple dropdown options with" findElements" instead of "findElement"?? And how to select option in dropdown using keyboard UpDown Arrow keys? Whats the code for that?
Findelements can be used only if there are more than one web element. For example getting the list of images, links in a particular page. If you want to use key press event, use robot class. Pls refer to file upload video, have explained key press nd key release event
@@LearnAutomationOnline Hats off dear friend!!
In your previous video (working with buttons) you have used Point class, and no objects are created for that with a new keyword.
But in this video, you have created an object for select class.
why? and how to differentiate btw these?
These are the basics of selenium. If you are going to select from a drop down, we have to create object for select class. That's mandatory. Point class will either be an interface or an abstract class. For interface or an abstract class, we can't create objects. Point class acted as a data type to store the points. When you watch the java playlist, you will understand this. For now, just remember, if there is a drop down with select in the html tag, you have to use select class.
@@LearnAutomationOnline Thanks for your quick reply.
It's Okay then, I don't wanna skip or jump to it right now. Let me continue to watch these videos in sequential. Hope my doubts will be cleared once I complete the Java videos.
Hi,
I am unable to proceed with the member ship payment option , Can you please help on it ..... ?

In line 37 when i copied the xpath i get //*[@id="contentblock"]/section/div[6]/select/option[1] & due to this i get error. In ur video the xpath is //*[@id="contentblock"]/section/div[6]/select. So i removed the extra /option[1] and there was no error. I copied the xpath twice & always i get //*[@id="contentblock"]/section/div[6]/select/option[1] . Not sure why i get the extra /option[1]. Can u help me with this?
You are selecting the drop down first and inspecting from 1st option. That's why the first option is getting added. In drop down, we will have to first identify the whole drop-down instead of selecting the first element.
@@LearnAutomationOnline ok got it. Thanks

No plans for live classes. No PDFs for interview question. But if u refer the Playlist tab, creating real projects, interview questions, maven. Everything is there.
H Bro, Firstly your explanation is very good. Thank you for the clarity. i have one doubt on this. for multiple option select in the dropdown insterd of puting one by one, can we use for loop like this ? kindly reply it ASAP please.
WebElement MultiSelect = driver.FindElement(Bu.XPath(“Path of the copied inspect elements”));
Select MultiSelectBox = new Select(MultiSelect);
System.out.println(“MultiSelectBox.Size()”);
For(i=1;i
Yes you can. But it depends. Sometimes you may get stale element exception. Based on how the UI is designed
@@LearnAutomationOnline Okay, Thank you for the Reply !
Sir y we can't able to give multiselect in the same select class??
There are no select all options in selenium. However, we can use get options method to fetch the drop down values, and iterate through them to get the values.
When I add List it show error like" the type is not generic ,it cannot be parameterized with argument".pls help me to resolve th problem.i like your way of teaching.
Are you using the W as caps for the webelement Or is the same way as you have mentioned in this comment?
I used caps w only.even through it throws errors.where I did mistake.pls help
For list which file to import?
I think you have imported wrong list. The import statement should be import java.util.List . If you have used some other list in the import statements. Like java.awt also is having a class called list. Remove that one and use util.list.
I have already replied to your other comment. List should be from java.util
Hi Arul,
First and foremost million thanks for all your effort. The leafground.com is not available now and for the sake of handson i used seleniumeasy.com site. But somehow the functionality that you taught in this video was not working properly. I checked using various method but no luck. Kindly review and let me know if am making any mistake.
//Code starts here
package seleniumDemo;
import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\vaithse\\Desktop\\SETHU\\Selenium\\libs\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
//Load the Webpage
driver.get("www.seleniumeasy.com/test/basic-select-dropdown-demo.html");
//Load the drop down select class
WebElement ddSelect = driver.findElement(By.id("select-demo"));
Select dpdwnSelect = new Select(ddSelect);
//Select the desired value using "selectByValue" attribute
dpdwnSelect.selectByValue("Wednesday");
//Select the desired value using "sendkeys" attribute
ddSelect.sendKeys("Monday");
//Select the desired value using "selectByVisibleText" attribute
dpdwnSelect.selectByVisibleText("Friday");
//Retrieve the number of options in the drop down
List listoptions = dpdwnSelect.getOptions();
int totalddoptions = listoptions.size();
System.out.println("Total no of drop down options: "+totalddoptions);
//MultiSelect from listbox
WebElement multiselect = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\'multi-select\']"));
Select multiselectbox = new Select(multiselect);
multiselectbox.selectByValue("California");
//Thread.sleep(3000);
multiselectbox.selectByValue("Florida");
//Thread.sleep(3000);
multiselectbox.selectByValue("New Jersey");
//Thread.sleep(3000);
//Click FirstSelected button to retreive the 1st selection made
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\'printAll\']")).click();
/*above line should return all those which are selected. But it returns just the last selection. When tried doing manually from the site it is working perfectly.*/
}
}
//Code ends here
Once again thank you so much!!
Will try this code and let you know Sethu.

Bro .. Please tell how to use firebug and firepath on firefox now as they no longer available in firefox.. Is there any alternative ? Please tell me
Like chrome, Firefox also is having built-in options to copy xpath. There is no need of firebug or firepath.
@@LearnAutomationOnline Thanks bro . Could you please put a video about explaining the LIST collection and WEB ELEMENT ? I Only know Web element is an interface but when trying to understand the line " WebElement element = driver.findElement" i am not able to make myself clear . It would be good if you explain about Webelement interface
For list and other collection types refer to my java crash course playlist. There's nothing much to explain web element interface. Just think of it as a data type in case of confusion. Integer value will be stored in integer data type. Same way, element that we find on. the web stored on webelement.
@@LearnAutomationOnline Thank you .
brother in the LIST why neenga element oota id ,name or xpath copy pannala.
how it will identify which element?
Please refer again. I would have used xpath for the list of selectable element.

Sir...What's the difference between selectByvisibletext() and dropdown selection using sendkeys() ?? Can you pls reply? :_)
No difference. Ita all different options available for us. A bike has kicker, and self start as well. Ays of doing is different but the purpose is to start the vehicle. Same way.
@@LearnAutomationOnline ok sir... Great... Thanks for your reply... I'm getting an error while using sendKeys() fn..not able to send string values through it.. The error is... The method sendKeys(CharSequence[]) of the type WebElement cannot be used with argumets(String).

Hi Anna,
How to get value of drop-down.eg-i need to print the value selenium .how to get that value
Use gettext method and print it.
@@LearnAutomationOnline Great .Thank you anna.but I need to print particular value.this gettext method gives all values of drop-down
Using get options method fetch all the value, store them in a list. From that you can fecth every single value
@@LearnAutomationOnline Got it. Thank you☺️
Hi Sir , I have one doubt ..How to select the dropdown value if the html tag is not used as "select".
Same doubt got any idea?
You can use find elements function and iterate through the values. Reference: stackoverflow.com/questions/36848352/how-to-select-value-from-dropdown-without-using-select-class-becuase-in-have-dr
Bro multiple drop down did not work my laptop
Did not work means u got any exception?
without using select how you will do drop down....can you explain
If it's a select tag based drop down. You have to use select class only. Or else you can try using JavaScript executor.
@@LearnAutomationOnline Can you please tell us how to do that sir
Select cannot be resolved to a type nu varuthu bro!!!
Import selenium select class or like I said in many videos, use control space to generate code
What if we have 100 index in multiselectbox??
That's a poor UI design. Chances are less for that.

1. How to test the web application using these operations?
2. Can weable to change the values of html codings?
I Don't understand this. Pls clear my doubt.

@@LearnAutomationOnline which means in our code we need to enter / modify/ do the operations to check the functionality. Suppose user typed unwanted / missed some texts or for eg in email box, if user typed without @, then alert box should display. Like that we need to code. Isn't it? Apart from functionality what test?
@@lekha8144 for instance if the user is not entering a valid data for an input field, then the user should see an error or warning message. this comes under client side validation. Meaning, on the browser itself the dev team will do these validations instead of taking it to the server. The tester has no part in it. Having said that, the tester has to check if he or she is seeing the error message for invalid data. It's not a tester's job to write business logic and behavior of the application.
@@LearnAutomationOnline understood bro. Fixing is dev job. We have to inform them the occurance of errors if so. Tx

This was the code i used for multiselect. programme is running but not selecting the variables
WebElement sixthdropdown=driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div/div/div[3]/section/div[6]/select/option[1]"));
Select multiSelectBox=new Select(sixthdropdown);
multiSelectBox.selectByIndex(1);
multiSelectBox.selectByIndex(2);
multiSelectBox.selectByIndex(3);

Hi, anybody can help me how to solve this: am writing this below mentioned select class
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@id='month']//span[@class='next-select-inner']"));
Select select = new Select(element);
the "Select" is change like this : "org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select select = new org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select(element);"
how to slove this.
Dear Sir, In the "List" i am getting red underline when i move the cursor onr, but i am getting only "Remove type Arguments".( No other options) And I am not getting more options like yours when you move the cursor on List.Please help me how to fix that..I am not getting more option Java.util. please advise me how to get that..
webElement should be WebElement. it should be caps.
Sir, I have changed "WebElement". I am talking only about "List" which comes with underline of red color. when I hover the mouse on the "List". I am not getting many option to choose like Java.util. its not showing anything in the popup window.
Most of the times, if there are any misspellings on a line, may not be directly indicated. In you case, if you are not getting the automatic suggestions, try to remove the line again. First try to give list alone. Just type list and give control space key. It will show you the suggestion. Or else, you can manually provide the import statements. Java util list on the import segment. That error will go.
Yes I resolved the issue myself. sorry to bother you.. thank you Sir.. Appreciate your videos
