"The method merge(DesiredCapabilities) is undefined for the type ChromeOptions" and after adding selenium 3.6 jar files i am unable to get webdriver also it is coming like this "WebDriver cannot be resolved"

[@SandeepKumar-xs4xh]

I tried this code & it's not working. I'm using selenium version 3.141. and tried with JUnit 5. (Sorry cannot disclose company URL or complete code, So copy-pasted code of the issue). Any solution.? Steps:- 1.Launch browser and enter the url. 2.Click on a link and new tab opens. 3.Navigate to new tab using WindowHandle concept. 4.Try to Allow access to Microphone in new tab as displayed in screenshot above.(Not Working). System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "./drivers"+File.separator+"chromedriver.exe"); DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities(); ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); //options.addArguments("--disable-notifications"); options.addArguments("start-maximised"); options.addArguments("--disable-infobars"); options.merge(cap); WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options); System.out.println("Browser launched");

Hello Mukhes, I how conduct UI testing with selenium? Selenium is mostly used for functional testing. Thank You

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Syed, Selenium is doing functional testing with UI only. API testing do functional testing without UI.

hi Mukesh, is there any way to handle Single Sign on , eg.if i am logging in my application with my enterprise id (which i am passing for the first time login) and then under my application i clicked on some link which redirects me to new window which also accepts the same login credentials .So while validating manually it automatically takes my credentials , but when using Selenium it opens a new session asking for credentials.So is there any way to handle this by passing any setting to chrome driver?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Neeti, I have done same scenario in my org. When I open manually my application takes SSO and no login window present on web but when I run on VM then application ask for login details. This is the logic which I used. public void loginWindowPresent(String username, String password) { if(driver.findElements(By.xpath("here keep the username field or any field which comes on login window")).size()>0) { System.out.println("LOG:INFO- Login window present"); // write your code here to login } else { System.out.println("LOG:INFO- SSO Enabled Logged in using SSO"); } }

[@Mukeshotwani]

Try this code and if you are still facing any issue then let me know.

[@neetigoyal9075]

@@Mukeshotwani sure will try and let you know

[@neetigoyal9075]

@@Mukeshotwani so just one thing here what i understood from code, if that login window is coming up again , we are providing the login credentials again .We are actually not bypassing SSO , we are just giving the alternate solution , to check if login window comes up again then enter the credentials again.Right?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Yes true we are not bypassing we are handling login window. You need to identify whenever we get login section we can call the method which I mentioned above. Selenium does not have any option to bypass sso.

@@Shivakumar-nl2li It did work as it was in my code. No need to give window size. Previously the icon of chrome used to come in taskbar. Now it is not coming. That is why I thought it was not working. But it was.
