WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
It automatically open the Private firefox browser. Is there any option to open normal browser instead of Private browser.
Not without some serious work on your end. When you create a new WebDriver instance, a firefox instance is started that uses no user profiles. It's like a fresh installation. WebDriver installs a profile on this clean browser instance and installs an extension that runs a little micro web server that listens for instructions from your java program. This little server is what enables two way communication between the browser's javascript environment and your remote java program.
The relationship between the running instance of this firefox web server extension and the WebDriver instance running in your java program is a tightly controlled partnership. It's not part of their criteria to allow you to do what you're asking, so you would have to venture far outside the boundaries of what they support.
You can directly invoke the browser without giving setProperty in firefox for selenium versions <3.0
Firefox in Selenium 3
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","path of the driver");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
Replace webdriver.gecko.driver with webdriver.firefox.marionette if above doesn't work.
Chrome browser
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path of the driver");
WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
IE browser
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","path of the driver");
WebDriver driver=new InternetExplorerDriver();
Headless Browser
WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();

I have tested every method but still can't pass the block some reason. Not even trying to automate anything. Example page URL. I can access main page but can't access any link inside the web site with webdriver.
Java Code:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-blink-features");
options.addArguments("--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled");
options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://www.sahibinden.com/ilan/hayvanlar-alemi-aksesuarlar-buyukbas-kucukbas-10x60-hayvan-yasam-alani-600metrekare-706539205/detay");
It worked with firefox driver + useragent + enabling javascript. I think I had some version issues on google driver.
package test;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
//System.out.println("driver");
String baseUrl = "https://www.google.com";
//System.out.println(baseUrl);
driver.get(baseUrl);
driver.close();
System.exit(0);
}
}
It throws me Exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
Need to download executable driver for Chrome. Here download chrome driver and add code to initialize chrome driver.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path_to_driver/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
WebDriver uses native browser approach. Selenium offers inbuilt driver for Firefox but not for other browsers. All drivers (Chrome Driver, IE driver, etc.) are built based on the special JS Engine used by each browser.
Basically Google Chrome doesn’t have a built-in server so you will need a Chrome driver server for communicating your Selenium code to the browser.
Instead System.exit(0) use driver.quit() method. It will close all opened browser window and terminates the WebDriver session. If you do not use driver.quit at the end of program, WebDriver session will not close properly and files would not be cleared off memory. This may result in memory leak errors.
I have implemented selenium web-driver with IE in a java web application.
I am using Apache tomcat 6 to run the application.
All the tests are running fine on local machine,but when i am trying to access it with other machine its opening the browser in the server machine and performing the tests.
My requirement is when any client access my application, the tests should run on the client machine, i mean browser should open on the client machine and do the tests.
my current selenium set up
File file = new File("C:/Jar File/IEDriverServer.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
caps.setCapability("ignoreZoomSetting", true);
caps.setCapability("nativeEvents", false);
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(caps);
Any help will be appreciated, plz let me know if i am not clear.
If you are using selenium grid, use RemoteWebDriver instead of InternetExplorerDriver.
RemoteWebDriver: https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/RemoteWebDriver
Selenium Grid: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/Grid2
If you already registered a node on your hub, which has a registered Internet Explorer, then you can start your tests on it, if you init your WebDriver like this:
DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities();
dc = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
dc.setPlatform(org.openqa.selenium.Platform.WINDOWS);
dc.setVersion("any");
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://HUB_IP:HUB_PORT/wd/hub), dc);
I searched for an answer to my question here and on the web but couldn't find anything that was helpful to me. Hopefully this isn't too dumb of a question.
I'm trying to get Selenium 2 to work using various browsers. I am using a Mac as a hub and a node and a Windows pc as a node. My problem is with Chrome. I want to initiate the Java code on the Mac and have the Selenium tests run on the Windows pc. To get Chrome to run on localhost I have the following code:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "Users/xxxxx/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
This opens up Chrome on the hub/node Mac. How do I get it to open up on the Windows PC? Can I pass anything into the ChromeDriver() class?
I've tried using RemoteWebDriver, and have the following:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/Users/xxxxx/chromedriver");
DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:9515/wd/hub), cap);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
The code compiles and executes, but Chrome never comes up. I don't get any errors. Note that I'm initiating the RemoteWebDriver on localhost and Chrome still doesn't work. Nothing changes if I change the URL to the IP of the Windows PC. I'm either doing something wrong with the RemoteWebDriver or I need to pass parameters to ChromeDriver. Please help.
Found the answer after a bit more searching. Turns out that the URL of the remotewebdriver needed to be only localhost:9515 without /wd/hub. Also, if running on another machine, make sure to start up chromedriver on that machine and point webdriver.chrome.driver to the location of chromedriver.
I'm trying to test with Cucumber + Selenium + Capybara a remote HTML/CSS/JS website which uses a Java .
The website works fine on the Chrome browser, but when I launch my test, the Chrome browser is launched on the website, but the Java applet is not loaded at all.
Looks like the Chrome browser environment launched by Webdriver does not load any third party chrome plugins like Java.
Is there any way to circumvent this ?
Thanks in advance, best regards

You can load a custom profile with the following code:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability("chrome.switches", Arrays.asList("--user-data-dir=/path/to/profile/directory"));
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
See the selenium chrome documentation: http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver
You can maybe try Selenium Remote Control instead of Webdriver. I haven't personally tried Selenium RC with third party tools, but it could an option to try while you're looking for alternatives.
