Hi @Mr Shah, Thanks for the great suggestion! Keep a look out for future content! ;)

There are a few potential issues that could cause Selenium to not type anything when running a JavaScript Mocha test. Here are a few things to check: 1) WebDriver is not connected to the correct browser instance: Make sure that Selenium is connecting to the correct browser instance and that the browser is open and running before the test is run. 2) Locator is not correct: Verify that the locator that you are using to identify the element you want to type into is correct. You can try using browser developer tools to find the correct locator of the element. 3) Incorrect wait time: Selenium uses an implicit wait time to determine how long it should wait for an element to appear before timing out. If the implicit wait time is set too low, Selenium may not have enough time to find the element before timing out. Make sure that the implicit wait time is set to a reasonable value for your test. 4) Disable of 'javascript' execution: Verify that JavaScript is enabled in the browser instance that Selenium is connecting to. 5) Incorrect value of attribute "disabled" : Make sure that the input field is not disabled. If the input field is disabled, Selenium will not be able to interact with it. 6) Incorrectly setting the focus on the element: Make sure that the element has the focus before trying to type into it. If the element doesn't have the focus, Selenium won't be able to interact with it. 7) Incorrectly handling of element to type: Try interacting with the element using the actions class instead of the sendKeys method. If after checking these, the problem persist it's best to log the request, the html of the page, locator value. This will help you understand where the problem is coming from. I hope this helps! Happy coding!

Hi, At the very start of the video, we go over creating the project on the Desktop called “javascript_mocha_selenium”, we then install all of our dependencies to that directory via the terminal. At the end of the video we can run our tests from the same location via “npm test ./test/homepage.js”. Thanks!

I had this problem too. In my case, I put: await driver.wait(until.titleIs(title)) Before await driver.quit() Now it waits before closing.

Thanks for the assist!

There could be a few reasons why you're not seeing the browser when you run your code. Here are a few things to check: 1) Browser is running in headless mode: Some test frameworks allow you to run the browser in headless mode, which means that it runs in the background without showing a graphical user interface. Make sure that headless mode is not enabled in your test configuration. 2) Browser instance is running on a different display: If you are running your code on a machine with multiple monitors, make sure that the browser instance is running on the same display as the one you are currently working on. 3) Incorrect window size setting: Make sure that the window size of the browser is set to something visible, some test run on maximized or minimized windows. 4) Incorrect use of driver: You are trying to run the test on an unsupported browser. Some WebDriver implementation can run on multiple browser, make sure that you are using the correct implementation. 5) Incorrect display environment variable : In some cases, you need to set the correct display environment variable to properly launch the browser. Try adjusting these settings and see if that resolves the issue. If you still have trouble, please provide more information about your test configuration and setup, that will help me to understand more about the problem and can suggest the best solution.

The "NoSuchSessionError: This driver instance does not have a valid session ID" error message typically occurs when you are trying to use a WebDriver instance after it has been closed or quit. This can happen in the following situations: 1) When the browser was closed manually or by an unexpected error before calling driver.quit() 2) When driver.quit() is not being called at all 3) when driver is not getting instantiated after being nullified before the next test Here's what you can try to resolve this error: 1) Verify that await driver.quit(); is being called at the end of each test. 2) Make sure that driver = null; is used after the driver has quit. This way, the next test can instantiate a new driver. 3) Use a try-catch block around the await driver.quit(); command in case the browser crashes or closed unexpectedly I hope this helps!

Hi Xin Yi Chua, "name" refers to the attribute that is assigned to the element on the page. In this case, the developers assigned the name attribute the value of "q" for the search box. You can choose from several different attribute types when selecting an element (name, id, etc...). The best way to find one for an element is to inspect it using the browsers development tools. Thanks for the great question!

Absolutely! You're right, running test cases from a terminal can be a bit intimidating for some users, especially if they're not familiar with command-line interfaces. There are a few different ways to run Selenium tests from an HTML page, one way is to use a test runner like TestNG, it has a built-in feature for running tests through an HTML interface. It allows you to create a testng.xml file, where you can specify which test cases you want to run and then run it via the TestNG plugin for Eclipse or via the command line. Another option is to use a test management tool like TestRail, It allows you to manage, track and organize your test cases, and also provides an integration with Selenium that allows you to run tests and track results directly from the web interface. Additionally, you can use the Selenium-Grid, it allows you to run your tests on multiple machines and browsers simultaneously, and also has a Hub/Node architecture where you can run your test on a remote machine and can run it via hub. Thank you for bringing this up, it's always great to consider the end-user experience and make our testing as user-friendly as possible.

This error occurs when Selenium is unable to find the ChromeDriver executable on your system. To resolve this issue, you will need to download the appropriate version of ChromeDriver for your system and add it to your system's PATH. Firstly, ensure that you have the correct version of Chrome installed on your system. You can check the version by navigating to chrome://settings/help in the Chrome browser. Next, download the appropriate version of ChromeDriver from the official website (chromedriver.chromium.org/home) that matches the version of Chrome you have installed. Extract the contents of the downloaded file and copy the executable to a directory that is included in your system's PATH. (or you can set the path to chrome driver in your code when initializing the driver) Finally, try running your Selenium test again to see if the error is resolved. Note: If you want to avoid versioning mismatch, you can use web driver manager package to initialize the chrome driver in your test, the package will take care of downloading and setting the path of the driver Hope this helps!
