ExplicitWait, Take Screenshot and Navigate Back & Forward - Selenium WebDriver Session 7

Sir, while giving explicit wait command, I am getting an error.
new WebDriverWait(driver, timeout).ignoring(StaleElementReferenceException.class)
Multiple markers at this line
- The constructor WebDriverWait(WebDriver, int) is undefined
- Line breakpoint:ExplicitwaitConcept [line: 28] - clickOn(WebDriver, WebElement, int)

while taking screenshot, I need to use FileUtils.copyFile. and import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils; but these are not working now, unable execute, Naveen Sir please help

One quetion, here in CLickon fucntion, how we are understanding that the timeout provided is seconds only, in function we have not declared anywhere TimeUnit.seconds .Thanks

In my case, the question about take screenshot is a bit harder! Suppose you go to a page, click on a link and a popup is displayed. You have to take screenshot of only that popup (not the whole page). Anyone knows how to do it? I know that it is possible with Python but I want to do it with Java. Any suggesstion how to do it?

Hi Naveen, i had started watching your videos.....Please could you send me the link of your code because i want to increase the font-size and to copy the takescreenshot lines.

FileUtils has now Changed to FileHandler

Hi Naveen, I just attended selenium interview and they asked me to write the code for taking screenshot . Your videos of selenium are superb and easy to understand. Eventhough i am a manual resource and recently i went through your videos and learnt selenium with my own interest and trying to attend interviews where i am gaining my confidence levels to answer. This was the first time i am attending selenium interview ,even though i know basic things i could not remember the code for entire selenium. I am practicing now and referring your videos which gives me boost my confidence. Thank you so much and keep uploading videos on new technologies. I will refer my friends . Hats off to you. No words to say.

Hi, I am using mac machine. It is giving me error as "Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Destination '/Users⁩/⁨suyog.ratnaparkhi⁩/Downloads⁩/⁨MySelenium⁩/screenshots' directory cannot be created.

Hi Naveen, Thank you so much for the video and one question on this somehow could not able to import FileUtils.copyfile is there any way to fix it ??

hi naveen..this video is really helpful..now the selenium version has changed right so will be any change in API 's??

Hi All, if you face issues with saving the screenshot, use below code.


File scr = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
File toLocation = new File("C:\\Users\\Kishore Talatam\\eclipse-workspace\\seleniumPractice\\src\\seleniumSessions\\screenshots.jpg");
FileHandler.copy(scr,toLocation);

Hi Naveen, Thanks for the classes. I have a doubt. on your 'Navigations' code there was "driver.manage().window().maximize();" but while testing your window didn't get maximized, did any one noticed ? please clarify..

Hi Naveen Sir, i tried your code for screenshot but its not working. the error shows and says -the method copyFile(File, File) in the type FileUtils is not applicable for the arguments (File)
FileUtils.copyFile(src,new File(C:\Users\km\eclipse-workspace\seleniumcodespractice\src\demosel1\screenshot\google.png);
can you tell what i did wrong here? or way to fix it?
thank you in advance.

Guys pls use below code for screenshots
TakesScreenshot scrShot =((TakesScreenshot)driver);
File SrcFile=scrShot.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
File DestFile=new File("H:\\selenium new\\screenshots\\google.png");
FileHandler.copy(SrcFile, DestFile);

excellent videos

Hi Naveen Sir,
You taught some methods like Contains(),Starts-With.,Ends-With..in your dynamic xpath creation video and there is one more video of yours on customized xpath in which you covered iterating tables in which you covered preceding-sibling and following-sibling properties. Do you have anymore videos on tables which covers some more properties and is there any way to get rid of StaleElementException
Thanks for all your videos :)
Thanks in advance

Hi Naveen...Thanks for this video. I am facing one problem. When i'm going back to the previous page using driver.navigate().back() then it's going back to the previous page that is working fine. But if the previous page has iframes then the previous page loads only the iframe part not the whole page after clicking on browser back button. It's throwing org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException. Can you please help me how to resolve this issue?

Please help me out with this question

Hello Naveen What could be the reason for not getting Exception after 20 Seconds ?

Hi Naveen ,
The FileUtils statement is no prompting to add IOException ,instead FileUtils cannot be resolved.I have checked and matched my code with your several times but unable to find the solution. Please can you help? Thanks in advance!\
Awesome Vids btw :)

Greate video. Thank you so much for providing information.

Hi Naveen,

Your videos are very nice. Your way of explanation is straight to the point and neat.Thank you so much for sharing ur knowledge.

If we declare implicit wait, it is applicable to all elements in the web page.Then what is the purpose of declaring explicit wait?What is the difference between these 2 waits?Kindly reply.Also please make a video on manual testing FAQ's or manual testing imp topics...JMeter and other imp topics.

Hi Naveen,
The page of cities and state is not displayed.

What is the difference between implicit wait and explicit wait?

What do U mean external URL? I mean what is difference between external URL and Normal URL?

Hi Naveen,

What is the difference between FileUtils.copyfile() and File.copy()
I have tried import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils; but was throwing an error, later I imported form import com.google.common.io.Files; which worked fine for me.

It would be great if you can help me to understand.
