Robot class & Auto IT

Methods used in Robot Class

There are different Methods used in robot class.
Some of the popular methods are:

1. .keyPress();

2. .mousePress();

3. .mouseMove();

4. .keyRelease();

5. .mouseRelease();

1. .keyPress()

   1. robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ESC);

   2. This will press Escape key on the keyboard.

2. .mousePress()

   1. robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);

   2. This will press Left mouse button.

3. .mouseMove()

   1. robot.mouseMove(coordinates.getX(), coordinates.getY());

   2. This will move the mouse pointer to X and Y co-ordinates.

4. .keyRelease()

   1. robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK);

   2. This will release the CAPS_LOCK key.

5. .mouseRelease()

   1. robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);

   2. This will release Left mouse button.

Note: keyPress will send an event that a key has been pressed down. For Releasing the press effect on the key if we have pressed a key using robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL), then we should Release it too. Otherwise once our Java application runs, keyboard will continue with virtually pressed CTRL key.

Auto IT

Selenium cannot handle file downloading because browsers use native dialogs for downloading files. Sometime we need to download file from AUT (Application under Test). There are several ways to automate download file in Selenium but here we see download file using AutoIT in Selenium WebDriver.

Follow the below steps:

1. Download AutoIT tool

import java.awt.AWTException; 
import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection; 
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class GmailAttachExample { 
    static WebDriver driver;
    public static void main(String args[]) throws AWTException, InterruptedException {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\JAVABYKIRAN\\Desktop\\chromedriver.exe");
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
        String BaseUrl = "https://www.gmail.com"; 
        driver.get(BaseUrl); 
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().window().maximize(); 
        driver.findElement(By.id("Email")).sendKeys("javabykiran@gmail.com ");
        driver.findElement(By.id("next")).click(); 
        driver.findElement(By.id("Passwd")).sendKeys("kiranselenium");
        driver.findElement(By.id("signIn")).click();
        Set< String> allwindows = driver.getWindowHandles();
        System.out.println(allwindows); 
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='T-I J-J5-JiT-I-KE L3']")).click();
        for (String handle1 : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
            System.out.println(handle1); 
            driver.switchTo().window(handle1);
        }
        driver.findElement(By.id(":ne")).sendKeys("Enter receipients Email Id");
        System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.id(":ne")). getAttribute("value"));
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='subject- box']")).sendKeys("Test Selenium");
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id=':o1']")).sendKeys("Hi Test" + "I am sending a Testing Mail"
        + "Thanks" + "JBK ");
        driver.findElement(By.id(":or")).click();

        // Using Robot class in the below code to attach a file in compose Email
        StringSelection filePath = new StringSelection("C:\\ Users\\JAVABYKIRAN\\Pictures\\city.jpg");
        Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().set-Contents(filePath, null);
        Robot rb = new Robot(); 
        Thread.sleep(5000); 
        rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
        rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V); 
        rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL); 
        rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V); 
        Thread.sleep(6000); 
        rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER); 
        rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER); 
        Thread.sleep(10000);
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id=':mp']")).
        click();
        driver.close();
    }
}

2. Now install both whatever we have downloaded.

Auto IT Script Explanation

Open Programs → AutoIT tool → SciTE Script Editor and add the below mentioned AutoIT script in AutoIT editor and save it as ‘DownloadFile.au3’ in your system

Explanation for above

AutoIT Script Explanation:

1. Line 1 : WinWait(“[CLASS:#MozillaDialogClass]”,””,8)

   1. Wait for 8 seconds to appear download and save dialog. Used class property of download dialog.

   2. MozillaDialogClass – we brought this from finder tool.

   3. How to open finder tool.

   
   
   
   
   
   

   4. Drag highlighted box to download window. And OK button you will see this MozillaDialogClass class.

2. Line 2 : Send(“!s”)

   1. Perform keyboard ALT key down + s + ALT key up action to select Save File Radio button using keyboard shortcut.

3. Line 3 : Sleep(9000)

   1. Wait for 9 seconds

4. Line 4: Send(“{ENTER}”)

   1. After that it downloads the document

5. Once the file is saved, we need to convert the ‘DownloadFile.au3’ to ‘DownloadFile.exe’. To do this we need to compile the ‘DownloadFile.au3’, right click and select option as below.

   
   
   

6. In Eclipse, add the below mentioned Selenium Script and run. Write below program to download syllabus of selenium from javabykiran.com.

7. Project structure looks like this.

   
   
   

package com.jbk;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; 
public class FileDownloadAutoIt {
    public static void main (String [] args) throws Exception{ 
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); 
        driver.manage().window().maximize(); 
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        //To open URL 
        driver.get("http://www.javabykiran.com/sample-web-page-to-test.html");

        //Download Text File 
        driver.findElement(By.xpath(“XPATH OF DOWNLOAD LINK”)).click();

        //To call the AutoIT script 
        Runtime.getRuntime().exec("E:\\batch\\selNote\\AutoIt\\src\\DownloadFile.exe");
        //'close' method is used to close the browser window
        //driver.close();
    }
}
