Hi Mukesh, how can we assert and verify two error messages? any pointers? Assume there are 6 error msg for 6 input fields one error msg for 1 field and i have to assert and verify.

Hi, How to verify an alert box instead of error message using Assert example: If we enter a wrong username and password it will display an alert.

[@sharmilapilla4040]

Hi mukesh, I am trying to using the above scenario in data-driven testing, where some set of data has positive TC and some have negative. The above code works fine for negative. But for positive after logging in it is again searching for the error message after click. Which won't be visible in positive case. How should I handle this scenario. Please help me. This kind of cases are repeated at multiple locations.

[@vishnuvardhan5096]

Hi Mukesh, i am not able to find getText() in suggestions it is only showing getClass(), what can i do in this case to verify?

[@merlinelizabethmathew982]

Could you please explain the difference b/n gettext() and getAttribute()? and when to use those methods?

[@Mukeshotwani]

getText only capture the innerText but getAttribute(String attributeName) accept attribute so based on parameter it will only capture that attribute like value, src, href and so on.

Sir I have a query.. how can I capture the text of a radio button or check box(i.e "Singing", "Coding").. from the url of your page-"seleniumpractise.blogspot.in/2016/08/how-to-automate-radio-button-in.html"..

[@razvanvancea9002]

Hello Mukesh, I have a question: when should we write System.setProperty() and when shouldn't we? I observed that the webdriver is running even without this command. Thanks!

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Razvan, Nice observation 😀😀 We have to set setProperty every time when you run the selenium test. In my MAC machine, I have kept drivers in bin location so I don't have pass every time but we don't have all drivers in bin location then you need to pass in Script. I have described the same in one of my posts please check that out. Chrome learn-automation.com/chrome-browser-on-mac-using-selenium/ Firefox (Gecko Driver) learn-automation.com/firefox-browser-on-mac-using-selenium-webdriver/ The same thing can be done in Windows as well using the environment variable.

[@razvanvancea9002]

Thanks for your response, it's really useful. As a summary, the setPropery() is mainly specific to OSX, so it is not necessary to write it if I use Windows and the location of webdrivers exists in environment variables. Great tutorials, keep up the good work! :)

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Razvan, Summary from My side In order to run Selenium with the different browser, we have to use drivers (always) We have two options to do this 1- Keep in bin folder (in MAC and Linux ) and keep in Environment variable (Windows) then no need to specify the driver in the script 2- set the path manually in the script.
