Your my movitivation guru bro. Ippo than life la etho urupadiya panuromnu thonuthu

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Keep going

[@ambikaramasamy5648]

Very nice videos. Really you are a great person. You have lot of patience and very excellent way of teaching. God bless you. I have a doubt copying xpath, when i copy xpath I am not getting absolute path only relative path. Is it necessary to copy full Xpath?

[@ambikaramasamy5648]

Moreover, those two radio buttons having value is false after run the java file. When I copy full xpath then it was showing correct values. Am I missing something? Why is it so?

[@sivasakthi2660]

Nice explaination super sir...

[@saranyapurushothaman6417]

Sir , please make videos on appium framework .

[@devconnie]

Sir, you know everything and how did you learn everything?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Know everything ah? 😅. That’s not true. When there’s a need, we will do.

[@dharunr4970]

For unchecked, you have copied the XPath for below 20, Is there any reason for that? Why not unchecked xpath?

[@Anukarthik17]

superb sir.keep rocking.

[@vishnupriya2717]

Hi arul. Pls do tutorial for soapui also

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Sure.

[@jamaludeenmk4558]

Hi arul If i get the xpath of tye option below 20 im getting relative path only. Coding from root is not coming

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Why do you need absolute xpath? If you copy from browsers most of the times it will give be relative paths only.

[@salmana35]

Hi bro. which one is the best way to finding XPath? 1.use copy XPath 2. We write own XPath

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

If you want reliable xpath, you have to write it on your own. There other options, in interview you I'll be sled to write xpath. Better to write it on our own. This will help a lot when dealing with complex element. Please refer my xpath tutorial, it will be fun to learn

[@chitrachithu750]

Hai Arulprasath.. i liked ur videos and it is very fun and useful.. I have one doubt.. in this radiobutton i have to select any one of this.. but however it will select any one radiobutton default.. I also want to select the same radiobutton which one selected the default .. if i select that default one definitely it will deselect right? how i can overcome that?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Before selecting u can put a condition if it's already selected or not in this case

[@Arasuari]

When I executed and run, I'm getting o/p in console as False and False for both.

[@ItsMe-rf7mo]

I too got the result as false.

[@gouthmkrish5058]

Sir in this clip you are not copied uncheck box xpath. Instead of paste uncheck box xpath you were copied age group xpath

[@gunaseelan-z9c]

i have a doubt bro- if both radio buttons are selected. how to find bug and print there is bug using sysout

[@MohanRaj-uo7ju]

Sir in willing to join class for selenium

[@anuashok8045]

Hi Arul, I have a question that why do we need click the radio button”below 20”, we need to display the result of default page right!!! Can u explain more detail

[@JG-iq2pn]

Hi Atul,isSelected method always returns false whether it is checked or unchecked? Can you tell me why?

[@kalaiselvichandrakasu2780]

Default ah endha option select agi irukku nu paaka ella element um find panni isselected pudurom ......appo more than five options irukapo ipadi than pannanuma ...is that good practice

[@explorewithgowri732]

Thank you

[@vigneshs9589]

why we use boolean

[@parthiban28]

Another question. We could have avoided line 30 and line 31 can be written as 'unchecked.click();' right? because line 19 & 20 serve the same purpose of line 30 if I am not wrong?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Yes I have forgotten that I had already found the element. ☺️

[@karthikeyansugumar20]

​@@LearnAutomationOnline Line 19 is webelement for unchecked, line 20 is for checked & line 30 is for 1-20 years rite? So if line 31 is re-written as unchecked.click(); it will check unchecked only rite how will it check 1-20 years?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Have already answered the same question in the previous comments. Please check

[@karthikeyansugumar20]

@@LearnAutomationOnline Actually in video u took the xpath of 1-20 years radio button in line 19 & latter changed the name alone to unchecked. Actually u should have taken the xpath of unchecked radio button & compared it with checked radio button according to the example. Here in video u r comparing 1-20 years radio button & checked radio button. This is where i got confused. Now i understood why line 30 can be removed & line 31 can be re-written as unchecked.click();

[@B.BarathKumar]

Hi Arul, is there any other way to click the radio button without using xpath. Because I need to use loop and search one radio button , if found then I need to click.

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

If you are going to use loop, then you will be using web elements? Iterate through the list of radio buttons? And then click?

[@B.BarathKumar]

@@LearnAutomationOnline Thanks Arul for the reply. Yes tried with web element but I am getting the error as "Element not intractable". Actually the radio button is in a label type.

[@gowsikdhanapal1317]

can u take one to one class,

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

No sorrry I'm not taking personal sessions now.

[@karthikeyansugumar20]

i have a doubt based on the comments. Even though if we have id, will it harm us in anyway if we choose xpath? Similar to id, xpath is also unique right?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Xpath is not unique. If you look at xpath videos, you can understand that. id alone is the unique selector. Let's say, there are three buttons in the page. //Button will work for all the three buttons. But, selenium will perform on the first match. But ID will be unique for every element.

[@karthikeyansugumar20]

@@LearnAutomationOnline I placed over each radio button and got the xpath as below. Each are unique. In video u r gettin absolute xpath & i'm gettin relative xpath. What mistake i'm i doing in pullin the xpath? Unchecked - //*[@id="contentblock"]/section/div[2]/div/div/input[1] Checked - //*[@id="contentblock"]/section/div[2]/div/div/input[2] 1-20 years - //*[@id="contentblock"]/section/div[3]/div/div/input[1] 21-40 years - //*[@id="contentblock"]/section/div[3]/div/div/input[2] Above 40 years - //*[@id="contentblock"]/section/div[3]/div/div/input[3]

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Each xpath is different not unique. You are getting the correct xpath only. Look at the input numbers inside angular brackets. For every option it's Changing. Absolute or relative xpath is not a problem.the element should be selected correctly. You are not doing any mistake unless the program performs different operation.

[@sukanyamuthu8937]

brother oru common question ok. can we findelement by using xpath even the name variable available. will it make any issue ?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

You can choose any selector you want. For example, a student will have a name and an id. It doesn't mean that you have to call by only one thing. You can call by name or id. Whichever you know. Same way, even if a element has I'd, name, etc. you can use xpath.

[@sukanyamuthu8937]

I got it brother from the comments section.

[@sukanyamuthu8937]

@@LearnAutomationOnline thanks brother

[@gowsikdhanapal1317]

its ok sir.

[@parthiban28]

Hi Mr.AP, I have a question here. When you write the code for 19th line you are copying XPath even though Name is available. Based on your previous instructions from the earlier videos we are supposed to copy XPath in case we couldn't find ID, Name and Class right? Is my question correct or am I missing here something?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Hi Parthiban, if you inspect the radio buttons, you can see all the radio buttons have the same name and class name. Selenium will perform the operation on the first matching element. So in order to perform the operation on the desired element, we are selecting the xpath. But your understanding is correct, if we have id, name or class we have to rely on that. However, if there are multiple elements with the same name or class it's better to choose xpath. Hope have answered your question. If not please let me know.

[@parthiban28]

@@LearnAutomationOnline My bad. You have told this in the video and I couldn't catch that. Thanks.

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

That's ok. ☺️

[@jamaludeenmk4558]

@@LearnAutomationOnline for below 20,21-40 and above 40 the name is same. Then y r u taking name instead of xpath

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

As mentioned earlier, selenium will perform operations on the first found element. Is itna second element of that name and still is working?. Try hands-on and see the results. The UI page may have been changed.

[@sivakys]

I explained data driven frmwrk but they ask me map what is that?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Map is a special collection type in java. It's not selenium based. It's java. For selenium interview, they will ask, questions from java collection as well. There is a separate series for that as well. Java crash course will be available on playlists. Refer them

Yes you can. As long as u have majored something which has mathematics, are eligible.
