Answer Key for Chapter 3 of Selenium WebDriver Java Course on Test Automation University

BaseTests.java

package base;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import java.util.List;

public class BaseTests {

    private WebDriver driver;

    public void setUp(){
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "resources/chromedriver");
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/");

        driver.findElement(By.linkText("Shifting Content")).click();
        driver.findElement(By.linkText(("Example 1: Menu Element"))).click();
        List<WebElement> menuItems = driver.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
        System.out.println("Number of menu items: " + menuItems.size());

        driver.quit();
    }

    public static void main(String args[]){
        BaseTests test = new BaseTests();
        test.setUp();
    }
}

just went one step ahead and printed all the menu items as well, with following code

List menuElements = driver.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
for( WebElement menu : menuElements){
System.out.println(menu.getText());

I think using CSS selectors is cleaner than using LinkText as it's more error-prone If I misspelled the link text or just forgot any spaces between the words
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[href='/shifting_content']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[href='/shifting_content/menu']")).click();
List menuItems = driver.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
System.out.println(menuItems.size());

Hi Angie,

I used CSS and Xpath selector. Here is the code:

            WebElement shifting = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='content']/ul//a[@href='/shifting_content']"));
	shifting.click();
	WebElement menuItems = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div#content > div > a:nth-of-type(1)"));
	menuItems.click();
	List<WebElement> lists = driver.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
	System.out.println(lists.size());

Thanks Angie,
Thanks for the group members in this course.
My code looks like this:
WebElement shifitingContentLink = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Shifting Content"));
shifitingContentLink.click();
WebElement exampleOne = driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Menu Element"));
exampleOne.click();
List lists = driver.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
System.out.println(lists.size());

And working fine

I've used below code- combination of CSS selector and Xpath.

    driver.get("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/");
    driver.manage().window().fullscreen();

    WebElement Inputlink = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Shifting Content"));
    Inputlink.click();

    WebElement Option = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[href='/shifting_content/menu']"));
    Option.click();

    List<WebElement> Weblinks =  driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul/li/a"));
    System.out.println(Weblinks.size());
    
    for(WebElement menu: Weblinks){
        System.out.println(menu.getText());
    }

Hey Angie, My code for the above scenario looks like this:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\chrome\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/");
driver.manage().window().maximize(); // to maximize the window
System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
WebElement Shift = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Shifting Content"));
Shift.click();
WebElement Menu = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Example 1: Menu Element"));
Menu.click();
List lists = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
System.out.println(lists.size());

Thank you

Hello angi,
thanks alot for your easy and great course,
i'm very enthusiastic while studying it ,
Here you are "my code" but i add from your solution just this sentence ["Number of menu items: " + ] to my code :

package base;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Dimension;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import java.util.List;

public class BaseTests {
private WebDriver driver ;
public void setup()
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","resources\chromedriver.exe");
driver= new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/");

    WebElement inputslink = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[text()='Shifting Content']"));
    inputslink.click();
    WebElement MenuElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='Example 1: Menu Element']"));
    MenuElement.click();
    List<WebElement> CountMenuElement = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@class='example']/ul/li"));
    System.out.println("Number of menu items: " +CountMenuElement.size());
    System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
}
public static void main (String args [] )
{
    BaseTests test = new BaseTests();
    test.setup();
}

}

`package TESTIM;

import java.util.List;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.*;

public class ShiftingContent {

WebDriver driver;


@BeforeClass
public void setup() {
	
	System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/Users/sami/eclipse-workspace/Testa/chromedriver 3");
		 
	driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.manage().window().maximize();
			
}


@Test
public void OpenBrowser() {
	driver.get("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/");
}


@Test
public void Sigin() throws InterruptedException {
	WebElement input = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Shifting Content"));
	input.click();
	Thread.sleep(3000);
	
	WebElement example = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Example 1: Menu Element"));
	example.click();
	
	Thread.sleep(3000);
	
	List<WebElement> menus = driver.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
	System.out.println(menus.size());
	

}

@afterclass
public void closeBrowser() {
driver.quit();
System.out.println("Quit browser");

}

}

Hello Angie,

please find my code below for Ch3. Selenium WebDriver Java Course on Test Automation University. Thank you!

package base;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import java.util.List;

import static java.lang.System.out;

public class BaseTests {

private WebDriver driver;

public void setUp() {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "resources/chromedriver");
    driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/");

    WebElement inputsLink = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Shifting Content"));
    inputsLink.click();

    WebElement inputsLink2 = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Example 1: Menu Element"));
    inputsLink2.click();

    List<WebElement> menuItems = driver.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
    System.out.println("Number of menu items: " + menuItems.size());

    driver.quit();
}

public static void main(String args[]) {
    BaseTests test = new BaseTests();
    test.setUp();
}

}

Hi guys! I've used below solution with xpath and contains to validate the texts inside the xpath

import java.util.List;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class BaseTest {

private WebDriver driver;

public void setUp() {
	System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\\\seleniumDrivers\\\\chrome\\\\chromedriver_111.exe");
	driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.get("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/");
	
	
	driver.manage().window().maximize();
	System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
	
	
	WebElement shift = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Shifting Content')]"));
	shift.click();
	
	WebElement example1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Example 1: Menu Element')]"));
	example1.click();
	
	List <WebElement> var1 = driver.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
	System.out.println(var1.size());

	}

public static void main(String[] args) {
	BaseTest test = new BaseTest();
	test.setUp();
}

}

I have used the following command by accessing the web page of [Shifting Content] directly
package base;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Dimension;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import java.util.List;

public class BaseTests {
private WebDriver driver;
public void setup(){
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","resources2/chromedriver.exe");
driver=new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/shifting_content/menu");

   List<WebElement> links=driver.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
   System.out.println(links.size());
    WebElement exitlink= driver.findElement(By.linkText("Exit Intent"));
    exitlink.click();

    System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

}
public static void main(String args[]){
    BaseTests test= new BaseTests();
    test.setup();

}

}

Hi guys i wrote my code well but i dont undestand how and why do we use the By.tagName("li) the li key why are we using it??

@MashigoJohn This is because we want to get all the lists on the page, this li (List) has the hyperlink tags inside, but if we get the hyperlinks, this will get all the hyperlinks tags on the page and we dont want to do that
