Hi Naveen, How to capture the screenshot with the element highlighted state? I want to add it my extent report , I've implemented this in my code , my code is highlighting the WebElement but in the screenshot I don't see the WebElement with highlighted state. How to achieve this with the code ? Please suggest me. Thanks.

[@sagarpateldon]

if someone is not able to see Highlight elements or flashing element .you can give some wait time between changing color like this --------> public static void flash(WebElement element, WebDriver driver) throws InterruptedException { String bgcolor = element.getCssValue("backgroundColor"); for (int i = 0; i

[@bashaneerati]

Hi Naveen! .. is the any another Syntax for Jsexecutor... In your point of view it is very complex.... Can u provide less syntax code for jsExecutor

[@ManjunathPrabhakar]

This is one of the easiest way!

[@SherineVishal]

Like all your videos. Thanks for sharing. One thing, do we need JavascriptExecutor object in flash class

[@ManjunathPrabhakar]

In this video flash is a method. And as per usage here JS exec is unused in flash method, hence not needed within flash. But in other method JS exec is needed since we are using css styling to applying bg color.

[@sabbirahamed1894]

How this highlight help the test or quality ? These are for new selenium users. In the real-life most important is your detailed and effective testcase. Because each additional line of coding will take time from your testing end. So, learn this but avoid using it for real-life.

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Its not like this, you can always create a generic function and call this function in the basis of the feature flag true or false. This is useful when you want to highlight the element during the execution while giving demo or debugging. If you don't want to use , make the feature flag false. In framework it's not about test or quality, it's about adding some out of the box features to decorate the framework to understand the debugging and execution properly.

[@sabbirahamed8554]

Naveen , I luv to watch ur videos., It's nothing related ur quality. But where you will use it in real life for what. As u know in real life we dont do show boat. In framework u have to add it as global from ur common methods, so it will run the method for all the testcases. It will add time for test running time and also it will increase testcase run failure rate. As u know selenium open source. Because it is not a part of test or it will not help u for quality. It will only help the click part for display (not the whole coverage)and we dont really need that. For display , we have limitation in selenium as u know. We can only make sure HTML & CSS and javascripts. Rest r not selenium , just java....because I m using java

What is the Error

[@ParasJoshiPj]

Naveen will it decrease our automation speef

[@ManjunathPrabhakar]

Yes. Culprit is thread.Sleep(). It's fine for debugging. However in actual production there are workaround to avoid it.

Hi Navin, JavascriptExecutor is not a class. It's an interface
