How to use findElements method of org.openqa.selenium.Interface SearchContext class

You can also check pageloaded using following code

IWait<IWebDriver> wait = new OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30.00));

 wait.Until(driver1 => ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("return document.readyState").Equals("complete"));

The problem get resolved after the below steps:

1. Right click on project
2. Maven -> Update Maven Project
3. Tick the check boxes as below

This is probably really obvious, but as you didn't mention it in your original post and you just downloaded the driver and your internal toy app is working, have you double-checked the security settings in IE as mentioned on the IEDriver code page:

On IE 7 or higher on Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must set the Protected Mode settings for each zone to be the same value. The value can be on or off, as long as it is the same for every zone. To set the Protected Mode settings, choose "Internet Options..." from the Tools menu, and click on the Security tab. For each zone, there will be a check box at the bottom of the tab labeled "Enable Protected Mode".

If you were using a previous version of Selenium before, you've likely already done this, but I figured it was worth checking just to be sure...

This error message...

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: failed to change window state to maximized, current state is normal

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to maximize the window state of Chrome Browser client.

Buggy Mac OSX ChromeDriver Replaced

After Chrome version 70 was released, some of you have reported that using ChromeDriver to maximize browser window on Mac no longer works. ChromeDriver Team have investigated this issue, and created a fix for it. ChromeDriver builds with the fix are now available at the following locations:

• If you are using Chrome version 70 (the current stable release), please download ChromeDriver version 70.0.3538.97 from https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=70.0.3538.97/
• If you are using Chrome version 71 (the current beta release), please download ChromeDriver version 71.0.3578.33 from https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=71.0.3578.33/

Snapshot of ChromeDriver Release Email

However, your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:

• Your JDK version is 1.8.0_131 which is pretty ancient.
  • Upgrade JDK to recent levels JDK 8u181.
• Your Selenium Client version is 3.4.0 which is almost a year older.
  • Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.14.0.

From another perspective, this issue looks like a regression issue from Feature request : ChromeDriver to support window resizing over a remote connection.

ChromeDriver v2.43 in the Release Notes have explicitly mentioned:

ChromeDriver to support window resizing over a remote connection

However, as per best practices to maximize the Chrome Browser client it is suggested to use ChromeOptions class as follows:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\your_directory\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions opt = new ChromeOptions();
opt.addArguments("disable-infobars");
opt.addArguments("--start-maximized");
opt.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(opt);
driver.get("https://google.com");

Reference

You can find a detailed discussion in driver.manage().window().maximize() issue with ChromeDriver 2.33

Update(Nov 20, 2018)

• ChromeDriver 2.44 has been released.
• ChromeDriver 2.44 supports Chrome versions 69 to 71
• This release is similar to ChromeDriver 2.43, but with additional bug fixes.
• A ChromeDriver that supports chrome 72.x is expected to be released in the early December.

In WebDriver there is separate Class (Select) is there to deal with Combo lists.

Use below logic to select options from pick list fields

Select select=new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='views/div/select']"));

select.selectByVisibleText("NIC");
or
select.selectByIndex(0);
or
select.selectByValue("value");

Refer this post for more info regarding Select class.

You're actually pretty close, just mind the brackets. I just separated things a bit.

final WebElement mapLockElement = browser.findElement(By.className("mapLock"));
final WebElement mapLockDisplayElement = mapLockElement.findElement("mapLockDisplay");
mapLockDisplayElement.click();

If you're doing it all on one line, it would be

browser.findElement(By.className("mapLock")).findElement(By.className("mapLockDisplay")).click();

You can also try waiting for the alert to appear and then accepting it.

Below is the code for that (after the upload button is clicked):

try{
   //Wait 10 seconds till alert is present
   WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
   Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());

   //Accepting alert.
   alert.accept();
   System.out.println("Accepted the alert successfully.");
}catch(Throwable e){
   System.err.println("Error came while waiting for the alert popup. "+e.getMessage());
}

You could execute some javascript to interrogate the DOM. Specifically, the complete property of an HTMLImageElement.

public static void waitUntilVisible(WebDriver webDriver, By locator) {
    WebDriverWait driverWait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, TIMEOUT);
    WebElement el = webDriver.findElement(locator);
    driverWait.until(
        new Predicate<WebDriver>() {
            public boolean apply(WebDriver driver) {
                return ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("return arguments[0].complete", el);
            }
        }
    );
}

But note that complete:

Returns a Boolean that is true if the browser has finished fetching the image, whether successful or not. It also shows true, if the image has no src value.

I found the work around as below

1. Open terminal
2. Navigate to path where your chromedriver file is located
3. Execute any one of the below commands

Command1: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <name-of-executable>

Example

/usr/local/Caskroom/chromedriver 
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine chromedriver 

(or)

Command2: spctl --add --label 'Approved' <name-of-executable>

Source: https://docwhat.org/upgrading-to-catalina

Note: This will work only with the file(s) where the above command is executed. If a new chromedriver is downloaded then the command has to be executed again on the newly downloaded file
