Selenium Tutorial Series | Part 20 | Working with Links - Advanced concepts | Tamil

Hyperlinks are one of the basic and very common elements to be interacted with. We have already seen one video about links but that is a very basic operation. In this video, we are going to deal with some complex operations.
What will we learn:
-------------------------------
1. Find out where the link will be redirected without clicking the link
2. Verify if a link is broken or not
3. Accessing an element which is removed from the DOM.
4. Stale Element reference Exception.
5. Navigate to method
6. Difference between get and navigate to methods
7. Find the total number of links in a page

I got 47 No. Of links when i used tagName"a". I dont know why.. And then in href, i got jsessionid as well

[@solosoul9600]

Hi , There is only 5 link( 1)Go to Home Page 2)Find where am supposed to go without clicking me? 3)Verify am I broken? 4)Go to Home Page 5)How many links are available in this page?) but how it is showing total number of link as 6?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

The logo is there right, every site will embed an anchor tag. So technically, we have 5 links and the logo link, hence the count is showing as 6. Very good observation. ☺️

[@solosoul9600]

I have doubt in hyperlinks. For navigating to a URL, copying the URL text is fine, but some URLs may not have the same descriptive text, such as 'click here.' For that URLs, how to fetch the element

[@reetajohn9427]

Amazing tutorial ji

[@niyaram7578]

Semma explanation..am very late watching this video in 2021.. :( I wasted my 3 + year ... ithanalaa enga eruthinga...? My confidence level got increased will definitely let know after getting job. One question I should remember all the codes?? cause I am practicing all when watching is this necessary to remember all the code before interview?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

If u r practicing daily, remembering the code will not be a problem.

[@telugucricketanalysis247]

Sir Can u make different video for the broken links it so complicated . The one method u have told is nice but their is one more method can you tell it . please.

[@suriya285]

Now,I am getting total links as 47.What is the difference between total links in the webpage and total layout links? because I am getting same o/p for both

[@kalaiselvichandrakasu2780]

Hi bro ..........first find panna elements ah en page refresh anadhum use pann mudila ..........id ,name ,xpath edhume mara poradhu illa but still en apadi ........... Same code nama n no of times run pannum podhu results varudhe .......en

[@karthikeyansugumar20]

I have a doubt in Stale element reference exception. The homePageLink web element hasn't changed anythin. We are just changing it to homePageLink1 & findin it again & usin it. Logically there is no meaning in this exception error. Also because of this error if we want to use the same webelement 'n' number of times in our code then we need to find it 'n' number of times & use it. This will be big burden right?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

If you observe the video, clearly, the page has been reloaded or moved to some other page. If this happens, the elements attached to the dom will be deleted and reattached. As a result, the elements already found are throwing stale element exception. If the page is not reloaded, then we can use the same element.

[@karthikeyansugumar20]

@@LearnAutomationOnline Yes the page was reloaded but as you mentioned the dom will be deleted and reattached (There won't be any change) then why there is a need to re-find the web element again is my query. If there is any change then to re-find is valid.

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Consider this like a person gajini Surya. Even though you both have met before, after fifteen minutes, you have to remind him that it's you. Same way, after refreshing, we have to again say who we are by finding the element again. What's already there won't work. While getting reattached, all older property won't work. Hope it's clear

[@karthikeyansugumar20]

@@LearnAutomationOnline got it thanks

[@christinamary3193]

When there is no element found in the webpage when it is loaded then it is "No Such Element Exception" When you try to use the old element to find , after navigating or refreshing the webpage then it throws "Stale element reference exception". Am i right?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Yes.

[@dhivyaakumar]

Hi ... I got this stale element exception when I tried to click multiple checkboxes in the amazon screen... I also put this in a loop as suggested in stackoverflow, but still I'm getting this exception... Can u help pls

[@vijiviji-jq4wr]

Hi Arul, We are clicking on Go to homepage link.. Will it take 1st link or 4th one.. As both are having Same properties

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Selenium will always perform the operation on the first matching locators. That's why, we are using ID as it's the best locator.

[@vijiviji-jq4wr]

Thanks Arul.. Got it.. All your videos are really good.. If I want to perform action on second match.. is there any other way?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

We have to use xpath in that case. Have posted an in-depth video on how to write xpath, please refer that as well for better understanding. Glad you find the videos useful. 😊

[@mitiskaagrawal3067]

Hi Arul, Can you please help me with one of my question. I followed this video and tried creating class and did everything you did , i used driver.get() initially to open the webpage and i was able to do everything you did, later on used navigation to navigate. Is there any specific reason why you used driver.navigate.to - initially to load the webpage ?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

driver.navigate().to() method is an alternative for driver.get() . If we have to refresh, go back and forward in the web browser, then we have to use navigate. I'm not sure whether I'm doing refresh or going back and forth in this video may be that's why. Even if not, we can use navigate.to . There's an in-depth video on difference between get and navigate. Kindly check that as well.

[@mitiskaagrawal3067]
