Yes, if you are using selenium ver before 3.0 it might not work with Firefox above ver 47. You can check the next video on how to use gecko driver and use latest selenium ver. You can also use webdriver manager ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8vWTgyoG0nc.html

You're welcome!

Ajay According to the Selenium documentation, Selenium WebDriver 2.53 is compatible with the following browser versions: Chrome: 63-65 Firefox: 45-46

Hi Ravi, you can start with some basic concepts like OOP and then start creating Automation Frameworks

Hi Dhanya, in Se 3 onwards we need to add browser driver exe file. This is explained in next tutorial

@@RaghavPal Thank you sir.. will download chrome driver.But I haven't installed maven in eclipse.Do we really need to do that to execute selenium pgms?

Hi Dhanya, not mandatory, but will be good if you create a maven project so maintenance will be easy later on. I have shown this from scratch in the Selenium Framework playlist. Check here - automationstepbystep.com/

thank for your message Vetri

Hi Navaneeth, you should be able to design and develop automation framework using selenium, should be able to use the design principles like Page Object Model, how to structure the folders etc, How to handle different and common web actions

In this video i have used selenium 2.53 and firefox ver prior to 48. Now, you will need to get gecko driver . Check this - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5N8GAn-bXnM.html

Hi, as of now do not provide any live trainings. Might do in future.

Hi Ramakrishnan, Selenium with Java has many jobs but is also very common, Selenium with Python is not very common and number of jobs will be less when compared to Java, I will suggest to start with Selenium with Java and once you get some intermediate level knowledge, try with python also. Its easy.

Hi Surjit The error message "Cannot find firefox binary in path" means that Selenium cannot find the Firefox executable file on your computer. This can happen for a few reasons: * You may not have Firefox installed on your computer. * The Firefox executable file may not be in your PATH environment variable. * The Firefox executable file may be corrupted or missing. To fix this error, you can try the following steps: 1. Make sure that Firefox is installed on your computer. You can download Firefox from the Mozilla website: www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/. 2. Check the PATH environment variable to make sure that it includes the path to the Firefox executable file. You can do this by opening a command prompt and typing the following command: ``` echo %PATH% ``` The output of this command should include the path to the Firefox executable file. If it does not, you can add the path to the Firefox executable file to the PATH environment variable. 3. Try restarting your computer and running your Selenium Java project again. If the error persists, you may need to reinstall Firefox. Here are some additional things to keep in mind: * The Firefox executable file is typically named `firefox.exe`. * The path to the Firefox executable file may vary depending on your operating system and installation settings. * You can also use the `-Dwebdriver.firefox.bin` command line argument to specify the path to the Firefox executable file. I hope this helps

Hi Seeta, There could be several reasons why the driver.get() method is not working and the browser window is not opening. Here are some things you can try: Check if the URL is correct: Make sure that the URL you are passing to the driver.get() method is correct and valid. You can try opening the URL in a browser manually to ensure that it is working. Check if Firefox is installed: Make sure that you have Firefox installed on your system and that the correct version of the Firefox driver is being used. You can check the version of the Firefox driver by printing the value of the webdriver.gecko.driver system property. Check if the geckodriver executable is in the PATH: Make sure that the location of the geckodriver executable is included in the PATH environment variable. You can check this by running the geckodriver command in a command prompt or terminal window. If the command is not found, you need to add the location of the geckodriver executable to the PATH. Check if Firefox is configured to work with Selenium: Firefox needs to be configured to work with Selenium before it can be controlled by Selenium. You can do this by installing the selenium package and creating a Firefox profile that can be used by Selenium. You can also try setting the webdriver.firefox.bin system property to the path of the Firefox executable. Check if there are any errors in the console: If the browser window is not opening and the driver.get() method is not working, there may be errors in the console that can provide more information about the issue. You can check the console logs for any error messages that may indicate what went wrong. Try using a different browser: If Firefox is not working, you can try using a different browser, such as Chrome or Edge, to see if the issue persists. Check if there are any browser extensions that may be interfering with Selenium: Some browser extensions can interfere with Selenium and prevent it from working correctly. You can try disabling any extensions that may be causing issues to see if that resolves the problem. I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issue with your automation script

Common Causes and Solutions: - 32-bit vs. 64-bit Mismatch: - Verify that your Java version and the application/library using JNI are both 32-bit or both 64-bit. - If mismatched, install matching versions. - Corrupted or Missing JNI Libraries: - Reinstall Java to ensure all JNI components are intact. - Incorrect PATH: - Ensure the directory containing JNI libraries (e.g., `JAVA_HOME/bin`) is in your system's PATH environment variable. - Conflicting Java Installations: - If multiple Java versions are installed, ensure your application is using the correct one. - Set JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the desired installation. - Outdated or Incompatible Native Libraries: - Update any native libraries used by your application to ensure compatibility with your Java version. - Application-Specific Issues: - Consult documentation or support forums for the specific application or library causing the error.

Check 1 If you have added/imported all the correct libraries 2. Check your script syntax, spellings, spaces

Hi Ishwarya,Selenium opens a new instance of the browser and does not takes the settings or plugins that you have on your default system browser. Check stackoverflow.com/questions/33220400/going-through-chrome-settings-by-selenium

Hi Kiran, send me your process and code to troubleshoot. What is the error you are getting.

Do you have main class in this code. How exactly are you running.

Ajay To resolve the issue of not being able to import the WebDriver in your Selenium Java program on Eclipse IDE after adding the build path of version 2.53, you can try the following: 1. *Restart Eclipse.* 2. *Clean and build your project.* 3. *Check your pom.xml file to make sure that you have added the correct dependency for the WebDriver.* The dependency for the WebDriver in version 2.53 is as follows: ```xml org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-java 4.5.3 ``` If you are using an older version of Eclipse, you may need to use the following dependency instead: ```xml org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-java 3.141.59 ``` 4. *Make sure that the WebDriver JAR file is present in your project's build path.* You can check this by going to *Project* > *Properties* > *Java Build Path* > *Libraries*. The WebDriver JAR file should be listed under the *External JARs* tab. 5. *If you are still having problems, try importing the WebDriver class explicitly.* For example, instead of importing `import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;`, you can import `import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;` or `import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;`, depending on the browser that you want to use. If you are still having problems, you can contact Selenium support for help. I hope this helps

Hi Sujal, pls show complete logs. There will be a Caused By section, check that

Hi Shine, This error message is indicating that the Java module named "SeleniumTest" can't be found Here are some possible reasons and solutions: Module is not on the module path: Ensure that the module is located in a directory that is on the module path. Incorrect module name: Check that the module name specified in the code is correct and matches the actual name of the module. Module is not a valid Java module: Ensure that the module is a valid Java module, i.e. it has a module-info.java file in its root directory and the file specifies the required dependencies. You can also try running the command jdeps --module-path --list-deps to check if there are any missing dependencies for the module.

@@RaghavPal Hey, Thank you Mr. Raghav. I tried with resetting all the path & setup from root. The error is not coming now. :D

Hi Asad, check the version of geckodriver, it can be compatibility issue, use a diff ver

You can follow it, the steps, scripts, logic will all be the same

Hi Svetlana, most probably this may be due to mismatch in Se and browser ver. Try using latest versions

On firefox ver 47 above you will have to use geckodriver exe. Its shown in subsequent videos

yes it is working now ,I replaced standalone jar from selenium 2 to selenium 3 so now code is running. Thank you, your videos are really helping me a lot in learning selenium.thank you once again

Great, keep learning.
