Not download/init browser driver when used webdrivermanager-x.x.x.jar (without Maven)

For my Selenium/Java project [without Maven], using webdrivermanager-1.7.2.jar in to automate binary downloads for chromedriver but I'm getting "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/LoggerFactory" message.
My code:
package selenium_webdriver_api;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.ChromeDriverManager;
public class Topic_29_ManageBrowserVersion {
private WebDriver driver;
#BeforeClass
public static void setupClass() {
ChromeDriverManager.getInstance().version("2.33").setup();
// Or: ChromeDriverManager.getInstance().setup();
}
#Before
public void setupTest() {
driver = new ChromeDriver();
}
#After
public void teardown() {
if (driver != null) {
driver.quit();
}
}
#Test
public void test() {
driver.get("https://github.com/bonigarcia/webdrivermanager");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
}

WebDriverManager depends on several libraries such as slf4j-api, commons-io, gson, among others (see its pom.xml for the complete list). If you are using WebDriverManager without the help of a build tool (e.g. Maven, Gradle) you need to resolve these dependencies manually. The other option is to generate a fat jar from the source, for example using the maven-assembly-plugin (info here) or maven-shade-plugin (info here).

Selenium RC is not opening url given in my code

The RC launches the firefox browser but it tries to open the following link
"chrome://src/content/RemoteRunner.html?sessionId=94c0e90deec8470ab358718255d27575&multiWindow=true&baseUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F&debugMode=false&driverUrl=http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/driver/"
instead of "https://www.facebook.com/"
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public class DemoClass {
private Selenium selenium;
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe", "https://www.facebook.com/");
selenium.start();
}
#Test
public void Assignment1() throws Exception {
selenium.open("/");
assertTrue(selenium.isElementPresent("id=email"));
assertTrue(selenium.isElementPresent("id=pass"));
selenium.type("id=email", "devranipankaj163#gmail.com");
selenium.type("id=pass", "demo#123");
assertEquals("devranipankaj163#gmail.com", selenium.getValue("id=email"));
selenium.click("id=u_0_n");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
}
#After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
}
}

Don't use Selenium RC as it is heavily outdated and not maintained anymore.
You should be using Selenium Webdriver with the latest version being 3.1.0 for Java. If you want to run your tests against Firefox you will also need Geckodriver.
Here is a good blog post that explains the setup and other basics of Selenium 3 and Geckodriver.

Selenium WebDriver POM Handling compound classes

I am new to selenium and I am facing this null pointer exception in my code,
Here is a class of one of my page object (Login Page).
package Pages;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
import Lib.lib;
public class LoginPage extends lib{
WebDriver driver;
By loginLink = By.xpath("/html/body/nav/div/a[7]");
By emailInput = By.name("email");
By passwordInput = By.name("password");
By signInBtn = By.className("btn btn-primary btn-lg");
public LoginPage(WebDriver driver)
{
this.driver=driver;
}
public void redirectToLogin()
{
driver.findElement(loginLink).click();
new WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(emailInput));
}
public void enterEmail(String email)
{
driver.findElement(emailInput).sendKeys(email);
}
public void enterPW(String password)
{
driver.findElement(passwordInput).sendKeys(password);
}
public void clickOnSignIn() throws Exception
{
driver.findElement(signInBtn).click();
Thread.sleep(3000);
}
public void loginToKB(String userEmail, String userPW) throws Exception
{
this.redirectToLogin();
this.enterEmail(userEmail);
this.enterPW(userPW);
this.clickOnSignIn();
}
}
And this is my Test Case code
package TestCases;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import Lib.lib;
import Pages.LoginPage;
public class logging_in extends lib {
LoginPage memLogin = new LoginPage(driver);
#Test
public void user_login() throws Exception
{
memLogin.loginToKB("uzii#test.com", "uziii");
}
}
I am importing the chrome driver configuration from the lib class, which is following,
package Lib;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
public class lib {
protected static WebDriver driver = null;
#BeforeTest
public void chrome_extension()
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("http://www.testsite.com");
}
#AfterTest
public void quit()
{
driver.quit();
}
}
When I am running my Test Case (logging_in), I initially redirect to website page, but after that it stops the execution and gives me compound class error.
Error seems to be pointed towards this,
By signInBtn = By.className("btn btn-primary btn-lg");
Please let me know, how to handle compound classes. Any help/feedback will be appreciated. Thanks.

You are passing static driver instance without initialization to LoginPage(Webdriver driver) constructor. You would need to initialize the drive either in static block in lib or before initializing memLogin variable in logging_in page.
for compound classes you will have to use XPath. if you can show us html snippet of your DOM, we should be able to tell you the relevant XPath.

You have declared web-driver driver instance as private in class lib which is correct then your'e again declaring web-driver driver instance in class LoginPage which is incorrect.
Remove the second declaration to avoid the null pointer exception.

Jira Test Automation Using Selenium WebAPI

We recorded a test case to log into jira using Selenium IDE. And it was running correctly.BUT when it exported to java web driver(jUnit4), it did not worked and gave element not found error.
The code is :
package newjiralogin;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.junit.*;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class NewJiraLogin {
private WebDriver driver;
private String baseUrl;
private final StringBuffer verificationErrors = new StringBuffer();
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
baseUrl = "http://jiratest/";
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
#Test
public void testUntitled2() throws Exception {
driver.get("http://jiratest");
driver.findElement(By.id("login-form-username")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id("login-form-username")).sendKeys("saumlk");
driver.findElement(By.id("login-form-password")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id("login-form-password")).sendKeys("saumlk");
driver.findElement(By.id("login")).click();
}
#After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
driver.quit();
String verificationErrorString = verificationErrors.toString();
if (!"".equals(verificationErrorString)) {
fail(verificationErrorString);
}
}
The main Method class :
package newjiralogin;
import org.junit.runner.JUnitCore;
public class NewJiralogintest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
JUnitCore.main("newjiralogin.NewJiraLogin");
}
}

The login form resides inside an iframe, i.e. before accessing the elements you have to switch the context of the driver, .e.g.
driver.switchTo().frame("gadget-0");
(assuming "gadget-0" is the id of the frame which contains the login box).
I'm not an expert for the IDE->WebDriver conversion, but it seems that the context switch got lost. If you want to implement UI automation for JIRA, have a look at the JIRA PageObjects which really ease many of the common tasks. A sample how they can be employed is available at the Atlassian documentation pages or here: https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2014/07/part-3-agile-testing-jira-plugins-system-tests/. This blog entry is part of a short series we wrote b/c we had similar issues and wanted to share what we learned.

ClassNameFilter and BeforeClass

I have dozens of Selenium Webdriver tests. I want to run them all at once. How do I run the test so that each test does not open a new Webdriver browser window?
Is a solution something like this possible? This causes nullPointError from driver.
#ClassnameFilters({"com.company.package*", ".*Test"})
public class TestSuite {
public static WebDriver driver;
#BeforeClass
public static void setUpClass() {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}
#AfterClass
public static void setDownClass() {
driver.quit();
}
}
public class Test {
private WebDriver driver = TestSuite.driver;
#Test.... {
}
Putting the new object initialization attribute gets the first test running, but then the others cause unreachable browser error. Please help!

hah, sorry for my inattentiveness.
This causes nullPointError from driver that can be caused only by improper web driver initialization.
As you declare public static WebDriver driver; in public class TestSuite and create instance in
#BeforeClass
public static void setUpClass() {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}
you don't need in
public class Test
initialize
private WebDriver driver = TestSuite.driver; once again.
Instead of it I would use inheritance public class Test from public class TestSuite in the following way and in my tests annotated by #Test simply called my driver as it is initialized as static. Code be like:
public class Test extends TestSuite {
#Test
public void findButtonAndClickOnIt(){
String buttonCssSelector ="...blablabla...";
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(buttonCssSelector)).click();
}
}
hope now it works for you.

to handle this issue try using #BeforeClass, #AfterClass annotation:
import com.google.common.base.Function;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestBase;
import junit.framework.Assert;
import org.junit.AfterClass;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.FluentWait;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Wait;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer;
import org.springframework.core.io.support.PropertiesLoaderUtils;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.NoSuchElementException;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
public class BaseSeleniumTest extends SeleneseTestBase {
static WebDriver driver;
#Value("login.base.url")
private String loginBaseUrl;
#BeforeClass
public static void firefoxSetUp() throws MalformedURLException {
DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://192.168.4.52:4444/wd/hub"), capability);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(); //for local check
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1920, 1080));
}
#Before
public void openFiretox() throws IOException {
driver.get(propertyKeysLoader("login.base.url"));
}
#AfterClass
public static void closeFirefox(){
driver.quit();
}
....
#BeforeClass means that you initialize something and all the following selenium tests annotated by #Test be run in a single browser window open.
Hope this helps you.
