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.

To be updated 1. Install Python. 2. Install Python setup tools. pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#windows Add Python2.7\Scripts directory in Path variable. 3. Download pip zip file and unzip it. pip also has a dependency on setuptools. 4. download setup : wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py python ez_setup.py --user 4. Install pip goto script directory and run command easy_install pip Close CMD and reopen it. 3. Install Selenium webdriver. pip install -U selenium 4. Run sample python code. Trouble Solving: 1. Browser is not opening website. 2. webdriver module is not getting imported. 3. Proxy errors.
What is Pytest: Pytest Benefits: Pytest Installation: This tutorial uses Python 3 , and we will be working inside a virtualenv . Python 3 has inbuilt support for creating virtual environments. We can very easily create and use a virtual environment for this demo project. We need to run the following commands in the cmd. mkdir pytest_demo # this will create directory. cd pytest_demo # move to newly create directory Python3 -m venv pytest-demo # this creates a virtual environment called pytest-env in our working directory. To see, Run command dir [on Mac or Unix OS] source pytest-demo/bin/activate . # This activates virtual environment. As long as this virtualenv is active, any package we install will be installed in this new virtual environment. [on Winodws OS] pytest-demo\Scripts\activate pip install pytest # This installs pytest on virtual environment. pytest -h ...
Unit Testing Frameworks. What are unit testing Frameworks? Unit testing frameworks are software tools that provide a testing infrastructure to automate the execution of unit tests. They typically provide a set of APIs, libraries, and tools to help developers write, organize, and execute unit tests for their code. Unit testing frameworks help to automate the process of testing software by providing a way to write and run automated tests for small units of code, typically individual functions or methods. These tests are usually written by developers and are designed to ensure that each unit of code is working correctly and that the system as a whole is functioning properly. Some common features provided by unit testing frameworks include: Assertions - a set of functions or statements that allow developers to check whether expected values match actual values. Test runners - tools that run tests and report the results. Test fixtures - reusable code that sets up the environment for a s...
