How to upload a file using AutoIT?


















  • Double click on the "autoit-v3-setup.exe" to install AutoIT.
  • Double click on the "SciTE4AutoIt3.exe" to install AutoIT Script Editor.
  • Once you are done with the installation, you can see Identifier or Finder tool in the below path C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Au3Info_x64.exe
  • You need to double click on it to open Finder Tool


Methods to be used
==================

ControlFocus ( "title", "text", controlID ) : Sets input focus to a given control on a window.
ControlSetText ( "title", "text", controlID, "new text" [, flag = 0] ) : Sets text of a control
ControlClick ( "title", "text", controlID [, button = "left" [, clicks = 1 [, x [, y]]]] ) : Sends a mouse click command to a given control
















  • We have to click on the "Browse" button as shown in the above image to upload a file.  Once you click on "Browse" button, the below window appears as shown in the image below.






























  • Now we have to take the help of Finder Tool to identify the window objects such as "File name:" edit field and "Open" button. To do that we have to drag the below displayed icon and drop on the window object to be identified.





  • For example, I need "File name :" window object to be identified. So I have to drag the icon as shown in the above image and drop on the "File name :" window object.




























  • To use the First Method i.e. ControlFocus, we need to pass 3 parameters "title", "text", "ControlID"
  • Here "title" will be "Open" as displayed in the above image
  • "text" is not required
  • "ControlID" will be the combination of "Class" and "Instance" i.e "Edit1"
  • Do the same steps for identifying "Open" window object.
  • Now we will use AutoIT Script Editor to write the methods as displayed in the below image.










  • We have to save this file in a specific folder. I have created a folder "AutoIT" and saved the above code as "FileUpload.au3"
  • Now we have to do right click on the above file i.e. "FileUpload.au3" and select "Compile Scrpit (x64)" to generate "FileUpload.exe"
  • We have to give the path of "FileUpload.exe" in the script to perform the window based actions to upload the file.
  • Please find the complete script below for uploading a file using AutoIT.

// Open Application Under Test (AUT)
driver.get("C:\\Users\\Rajendra Mahapatra\\Desktop\\FileUpload.html");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.findElement(By.id("upload1")).click();
Thread.sleep(5000L);
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Users\\Rajendra Mahapatra\\Desktop\\AutoIt\\FileUpload.exe");
driver.quit();

Encoding and Decoding in Selenium using Base64 Class of Java

What is Base64? Base64 is an encoded scheme that converts binary data in to text format so that encoded textual data can be easily transported over network un-corrupted and without any data loss. Simple Program: package encodeAndDecode; import java.util.Base64; public class EncodeText { public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub String username = "mercury" ; // Encode Username byte [] encodedByte = Base64.getEncoder().encode( username .getBytes()); String encodedText = new String( encodedByte ); System.out.println( "Encoded Username : " + encodedText ); //Decode Username byte [] decodedByte = Base64.getDecoder().decode( encodedByte ); String decodedText = new String( decodedByte ); System.out.println( "Decoded Username : " + decodedText ); } Output: Encoded Username : bWVyY3VyeQ== Decoded Username : mercury Usage In Selenium: We can keep the encoded data ...

Parallel Execution In TestNG Framework Using ThreadLocal Concept

  Parallel Execution We can achieve parallel execution In TestNG Framework by implementing ThreadLocal Concept. We can execute the independent test methods in parallel resulting in reducing the test execution time. BrowserUtility.java This class file contains a methods named by "createDriverInstance" which returns the reference variable of WebDriver Type based on the browser type (chrome or firefox or IE or edge) provided in the parameter. package parallelExecution; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions; import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxOptions; import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerOptions; public class BrowserUtility { public static WebDriver createDriverInstance(String browserType ) { WebDriver driver = null ;...
