Add Selenium 4 dependency

Add the Selenium 4 Java binding to the project pom.xml file. Save the POM and reload the project.

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
      <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
      <version>4.0.0-alpha-6</version>
    </dependency>

Page Under Test

We will test the Apache Web Server Ubuntu default home page header in a sample test using Firefox driver.

 

Sample Test

package com.testingdocs.sample;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class AppTest {
    @Test
    public void firstTest() {
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        try {
            driver.get("http://localhost");
            WebElement result = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.page_header"));
            Assert.assertEquals(result.getText(),"Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page");
        } finally {
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}
