Setting up selenium on Visual Studio is similar to setting up on Eclipse editor. However, to run the java program, we need to import certain libraries. We need to follow a few more steps to get the Selenium/WebDriver code running on the VS Code. Installation is easy and simple.
Setting up VS for Java.
To create a Java project, write code and run the code, we need to install Java extension Pack to the Visual Studio. To install it from VS marketplace, click the link here. This will redirect you to the following page. Click on the Install button.
Download ChromeDriver
To interact with the Chrome Browser, you should have latest ChromeDriver on your system and it should be discoverable by WebDriver. Also, the ChromeDriver major version has to match with your Chrome browser version. I suggest to use latest Chrome browser and corresponding ChromeDriver. Please note that Chrome Browser and ChromeDriver both are different. Download latest ChromeDriver from here.
Base on your operating system, select either binary file or EXE file. Once downloaded, unzip it in the common folder that you can use across multiple project. Next, you download ChromeDriver should be discoverable by WebDriver.On Linux or macOS, you can use the following command to make the filediscoverable.
export PATH=$PATH:~/<yourFolder>/drivers/bin/
here <yourFolder>/drivers/bin/ is a folder path where you have downloaded and unzipped ChromDriver.
There is another way to make this binary or EXE file discoverable by WebDriver. You should set the system property in your code. Add the path to ChromeDriver in your test code:
Open Command Pallet in VS Code (Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + P).
In next Step, Select No Builds option, Select Project Location or Workspace and enter project name. This will create a Java Project in the given folder. The New Project will have lib and src folder along with a sample java program that will print “Hello World” in the terminal.
Click on the run button available in the top right corner.
So far, so good. You can create and run java program. Now let’s set up Selenium/WebDriver.
Setup Selenium WebDriver
Download the latest stable Selenium Web Driver client and Java language bindings.
Now in VS Editor go the left side bottom and click on the + sign near Referenced Library under Java Section. See the following screenshot. Select Selenium server jasr file and import it. Now let’s import jar files for the java client. Click on + sign and import all jar files from the Selenium-Java-4.8.1 folder. Again import all files from the lib file under Selenium-Java-4.8.1 folder.
Congratulations!!!! You completed the set of Visual Studio for the Selenium with Java Programming language.
Open Google.com using Selenium
Now let’s modify App.java file available under src folder. First we need to import WebDriver and then Chrome Driver class.
Import WebDriver and ChromeDriver.
Adding the following two lines at the top of the App.java program.
Import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
Import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
Now inside main function, add code to open browser and get the URL.
That’s It.

When we download any file from internet, browser opens new pop-up windows and prompt user for action. Action could be open, save or save as. Pop-up windows ( GUI ) could be different based on browser. When you are automating file download dialog box (or action), you should keep following points in mind. - Browser - Pop-up windows title - Pop-up GUI - Available buttons on GUI - File Type (Binary file, zip file, MS file etc..) - Extra settings See how IE and FF pop-ups ... If you have any doubt or if it is not working , please provide me details and I will try to fix the problem. Func Down_FF_NonMS() Send("{TAB}{TAB}...
Python and Java are both popular programming languages that have been around for many years. While they share some similarities, there are also some key differences between them. Syntax: One of the most obvious differences between Python and Java is their syntax. Python is known for its simple, readable syntax, which is designed to be easy to learn and use. Java, on the other hand, has a more complex syntax that requires more code to accomplish the same tasks. Performance: Java is generally faster than Python when it comes to execution speed. This is because Java code is compiled into bytecode, which can be executed directly by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Python, on the other hand, is an interpreted language, which means that each line of code is executed one at a time by the Python interpreter. Memory Management: Java manages memory through a process called Garbage Collection. This process automatically frees up memory that is no longer in use, which helps to prevent memory leaks ...
Cypress V/S Selenium During my learning of Cypress, I noted down a few important differences between these tools. Documentation: Cypress Selenium Feature Cypress Selenium Language Support JavaScript Multiple languages including Java, C#, etc. Test Architecture Mocha test runner and Chai assertion library built-in Requires separate test frameworks and assertion libraries Browser Support Chrome, Firefox, Electron Multiple browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc. Test Structure Built-in test runner and assertion library Needs separate test runners and assertion libraries Test Execution Faster execution Slower execution due to the use of WebDriver DOM Manipulation Native commands for DOM manipulation Needs to use JavaScriptExecutor for DOM manipulation Locators Cypress uses jQuery-like syntax for selecting elements Selenium uses various locating strategies such as XPath, CSS Selector, etc. Automatic Waits Automatically waits for commands to complete before moving...
