Study Notes

JavaScriptExecutor in Selenium Webdriver

  • JavaScriptExecutor helps execute JavaScript through Selenium Webdriver
  • Two methods provided by JavaScriptExecutor: executeScript and executeAsyncScript

Methods of JavaScriptExecutor

  • executeScript method:
    • Purpose: executes a JavaScript code snippet
    • Allows executing JavaScript in the context of the current page
    • Runs the script as a function in the page
    • Can return values such as String, Long, Boolean, List, and WebElement
  • executeAsyncScript method:
    • Purpose: executes an asynchronous JavaScript code snippet
    • Allows executing asynchronous JavaScript in the context of the current page
    • Can return values such as String, Long, Boolean, List, and WebElement

Using JavaScriptExecutor

  • No extra plugin or add-on required to use JavaScriptExecutor
  • import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor is required to use JavaScriptExecutor
  • Useful when Selenium Webdriver cannot perform an operation due to limitations

ScrollBy Method

  • scrollBy method: scrolls the current page by the specified amount
  • Purpose: simulates scrolling on the webpage

Setting Script Timeout

  • setTimeout method: sets the script timeout in milliseconds
  • setScriptTimeout method: sets the script timeout in Selenium Webdriver

Purpose of JavaScriptExecutor

  • Allows executing JavaScript code in the context of the current page
  • Enables writing tests more like normal coding
  • Helps overcome limitations of Selenium Webdriver
