Comments 11

• Hi,

  I have record a script through Selenium IDE :

  package example;

  import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
  import org.junit.After;
  import org.junit.Before;
  import org.junit.Test;

  public class Newtest extends SeleneseTestCase {
  @Before
  public void setUp() throws Exception {
  selenium = new DefaultSelenium(“localhost”, 4444, “*chrome”, “http://www.google.com/”);
  selenium.start();
  }

  @Test
  public void newtest () throws Exception {
  selenium.open(“/webhp?hl=en”);
  selenium.type(“id=q”, “qwe”);
  selenium.click(“id=btnG”);
  selenium.waitForPageToLoad(“600000”);
  }

  @After
  public void tearDown() throws Exception {
  selenium.stop();
  }
  }

  which is running successfully through Selenium IDe but when i am excuting java code for same in Junit through Selenium RC +eclipse its giving error, please let me know where i am doing wrong.Thanks.

  • Hi Nithin,

    In the above code you need to make some changes:
    1. Change the package to respective package inside eclipse
    2. Replace the Newtest class with the Class you created

• Hello, I am new in Selenium, and i have question, I`ve tried to run my testcase exported into JUnit from Selenium IDE 1.0.6 via IntelliJ IDEA, and i always have error CANNT FIND SYMBOL CLASS UTIL. Here is my code which i am trying to run.

  package testcase1;

  import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;

  import testcase1.java.util.regex.Pattern;

  public class java {

  public class testcase1 extends SeleneseTestCase {
  public void setUp() throws Exception {
  setUp(“http://book.theautomatedtester.co.uk/chapter1/”, “*chrome”);
  }
  public void testTestcase1() throws Exception {
  selenium.open(“/”);
  selenium.click(“link=Chapter1”);
  selenium.waitForPageToLoad(“30000”);
  selenium.select(“selecttype”, “label=Selenium Core”);
  selenium.click(“verifybutton”);
  }
  }

  }

  Can you give me some help with this?

  • Please remove “import testcase1.java.util.regex.Pattern;” line and then execute. Reason is you are importing testcase1.java.util.regex.pattern means your testcase1 should have java classes (jdk library) in it that is absolutely wrong…

• Hi Seetaram,

  Nice Post.
  I have some query on this post.
  I was return code,

  package sugarTests;

  import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
  import org.junit.After;
  import org.junit.Before;
  import org.junit.Test;
  import java.util.regex.Pattern;
  @SuppressWarnings({ “unused”, “deprecation” })
  public class SugarTestScripts extends SeleneseTestCase {
  @Before
  public void setUp() throws Exception {
  DefaultSelenium selenium = new DefaultSelenium(“localhost”, 4444, “*chrome”, “http://www.google.co.in/”);
  selenium.start();
  }

  @Test
  public void testUntitled() throws Exception {
  selenium.open(“/”);
  assertEquals(“Google”, selenium.getTitle());
  selenium.type(“id=lst-ib”, “selenium”);
  selenium.click(“name=btnG”);
  verifyTrue(selenium.isTextPresent(“Selenium – Web Browser Automation”));
  }

  @After
  public void tearDown() throws Exception {
  selenium.stop();
  }
  }

  I included Junit Jar, Selenium-java-2.15.0.jar, Selenium-java-2.15.0-srcs.jar
  If i did not include this jar that time i was getting errors on
  public class SugarTestScripts extends SeleneseTestCase
  And Selenium object on every line.

  Please do let me correct if i am wrong.

  • Do you have that application installed on your system? If so then it does not throw error otherwise it does

  • Hi,

    I did not get Nullpointer exception. You will get Nullpointer on driver.findelement only if the driver is null
