Error: Could not find or load main class NewPackageForPractice.newOKT
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: NewPackageForPractice.newOKT

Any idea why?

Where does this term WebDriver comes in line
WebDriver Driver = new ChromeDriver();

Is it a key Term, like when we are declaring a variable or something?

Your tech teaching style is really effective. I'm learning so much

Thanks for the videos :)

11. Screenshots

Take screenshot
File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("./image.png"));

this is not working

File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileHandler.copy(scrFile, new File ("./image.jpg"));

this does.

Google chrome cannot read write data to its data directory - im getting this error pls help to resolve

Hello, I know this video came out about a year ago but I was getting this error message that states that Eclipse did not have authorization to do things to open the web browser properly and close it. After a quick search, I found out that after Chrome v102 security permissions were implemented that prevent these other programs from just opening Chrome. Turns out you need to add:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--remote-allow-origins=*");

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

To make the webpage open and close properly. I still get warnings though but hey, it works.

Hi sir , i am not getting import WebDriver option on hovering, other options like create class are coming but not import one, pls help

Hello, Raghav! Thanks a lot for the tutorials! It's very helpful! I've got a question at the moment - how a browser controlled by selenium webdriver deals with permanent cookies? For example, I login into a site, checked Remember be and close the browser session. The run webdriver again and navigate to the same site and see that the login information was cleared and I have to login again. Will you clarify what happens here and how deal with it? Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi ,
I m currently working as a manual tester , planning to switch into Automation Testing,

I heard that 10 yrs experienced tester can be easily replaced with 5 yrs experienced tester for cost cutting, So that 10 yrs experienced tester will loose the job !
And also people say that ,
In dev 10 yrs experienced dev cannot be replaced by 5 yrs experienced dev in any company unlike Testers , is that true ?
Please reply


Does testers don't have life after 10/15 yrs work experience? Is it worth learning and putting efforts in Automation Testing and choosing it as an Career option?

please clarify this.
