Overview

In this tutorial, let’s learn the steps involved to run Selenium tests on Opera Browser. Opera is one of the most popular web browsers. Selenium automates a web browser.  First things first, download and install Opera browser on the Windows test machine.

The steps to download and install are listed here:

Download Opera Browser

Download Opera Driver

Navigate to the following URL:

https://www.selenium.dev/downloads/

Expand Browsers accordion.

Click on the documentation link.

Download the Opera driver from the link.

Sample Test

• Open an IDE tool like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA. Create a Test Project.
• Copy the opera driver under the project directory.
• Create a Test class.
• Add the following test code to the test class.

 

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.opera.OperaDriver;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class OperaSeleniumTest {

    private WebDriver driver;

    @Test
    public void sampleTest() {
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        Assert.assertEquals(driver.getTitle(), "Google", "I'm verifying window title here in this test");
    }

    @BeforeClass
    public void beforeClass() {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.opera.driver", "operadriver.exe");
        driver = new OperaDriver();
    }

    @AfterClass
    public void afterClass() {
        if(driver != null)
        {
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

 

The following code sets the opera driver path. Specify the path to the driver on your machine.

System.setProperty(“webdriver.opera.driver”, “<path to the operadriver.exe>”);

We can instantiate the driver by using the following code line:

WebDriver driver = new OperaDriver();

 

 

Run the test code. The test should open the Google search page on the Opera browser and run the sample test.
