Thank you Naveen for helping me to learn automation.. I have seen couple of youtube videos on automation, your way of teaching is far the best...

[@vinoddhale2428]

Really great explain sir, thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@imperfectKarryLive]

Great Work Sir!! Really Appreciated

[@RahulJha-bu7cv]

Hi Naveen, its great learning from your videos. Thanks a lot. Also want to add one more example having issue with hierarchy based xpath based on my understanding of course your teaching only :), is lets say you have same address with same apartment/house number with one entrance door but now we added one more entrance.. So in this case your door may change from door 1 to door 2 like div[1] to div[2].. so in this case xpath is no longer valid. Hence even though you are present at that address or same way web element are there on the page but address/xpath is not correct.

[@nidhim4017]

Firebug is disabled in latest firefox above v57(or so). Solution- inspector is now in-built in Firefox. Just go to Settings in Firefox - >Webdeveloper->Inspector (OR) Ctrl+Shift+C . This will enable the inspector and you can find your id,class etc. However customizing xpath is going to be tricky.

[@praveenjairaj9301]

tq so much

Hi Naveen, First of all thanks a lot for these videos.They are really helpful. I am new to automation. have a doubt regarding a issue I came across while automating my client's website. I had inspected an element in the page where I created a dynamic xpath .Through that xpath i was able to search it in the inspect page of the browser.However when I gave that xpath to my code it was unable to search it.I got error as couldnt find the element.I got stuck at that point. Then i realized through my automation team mate that we need to use java script executor for that. How can we know when to use java script in selenium ?
