Could you help to confirm if the page should be displayed as this? I was thinking it may have more descriptions.

SearchContext link broken on Locating elements documentation pag

🐛 Bug Report

A link is broken in the documentation

To Reproduce

Click this link:
https://selenium.dev/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/SearchContext.html%3ESearchContext

Or you can navigate to the Locating elements page (link below) and find this sentence, then click the SearchContext link:
You can do this because both the WebDriver and WebElement types implement the SearchContext interface.

Link to Locating elements page:
https://selenium.dev/documentation/en/getting_started_with_webdriver/locating_elements/

i was using selenium since last week and now when i rum the code it says there is no module called selenium

I am working on a school project and i have to use selenium. I was using selenium for a long time. I stop working on that project for a week and yesterday i came back to continue it and i tried to run it and it is saying that there is no module named 'selenium'. I uninstall it and re-install it many times , also i re-install vsc(visual studio code) and i re-install python 3.8 . No, i am not using a virtual environment.
Btw the way that i import it is :: from selenium import webdriver.
If you want to give you more dilates about the code that might be useful to find the problem just ask

Some confusion with the Worst Practices > Captcha page

On the web page: https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/en/worst_practices/captchas/

When the page says,

There are two primary strategies to get around CAPTCHA checks:

Disable CAPTCHAs in your test environment
Add a hook to allow tests to bypass the CAPTCHA

It's hard to tell if you are suggesting these options or if you are saying that these are a bad practice, because this information is located under the Worst Practices section.

Perhaps you could explicitly say, "We suggest that you... "

.xlsm file type being changed

🐛 Bug Report (bugs found in a recent release)

I am using Java + Selenium to test an Angular application in Chrome.

The app requires a .xlsm file upload. When I run my automation code locally, this file upload is successful. However, when I run my code on the grid, my app throws an 'incorrect file type' validation error (because the app will only accept .xlsm files). It appears that running on the grid is altering my file type. Does Selenium have a bad relationship with .xlsm files?

EdgeDriver name doesn't match

🐛 Bug Report

hello,I download the python code by pip3 and then i found that the .exe name is not the same as the file download on the microsoft which named as msedgedriver.exe

So it's different from Chrome And FireFox, they are the same name.

Rename the .exe file can solve the problem.
But I think modify MicrosoftWebDriver.exe to msedgedriver.exe is a good idea.😄
It will be nice to the beginners.
Thank you.

RSS feed for the blog

🚀 Feature Proposal for the site or the documentation

RSS feed for the blog.

Motivation

I want to follow the Selenium blog without manually checking the website from time to time.

Example

Subscribe via RSS feed.

Redirect old links from exceptions to new targets on page

🚀 Feature Proposal for the site or the documentation

Exceptions from Selenium 3.141.59 show up like:

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method" : "css selector" "selector": " *[name='card']"}
(Session info: chrome=78.0.3904.108)
For documentation on this error, please visit: https://www.seleniumhq.org/exceptions/no_such_element.html        

If you open that link to https://www.seleniumhq.org/exceptions/no_such_element.html it redirects to the exceptions page https://selenium.dev/exceptions/. It would be nice if it redirected to https://selenium.dev/exceptions/#no_such_element so that the exact exception that was thrown is shown.

Motivation

This would make it easier for people to read the docs about their exception.

Example

Provided above I think?

No Health Check URL for Nodes.

🐛 Bug Report

Trying to run any selenium node containers in a k8s cluster you can get into a state where the node is not accepting any more tests. Normally this is what a health endpoint is for, helping us know when the node is not working.

To Reproduce

Try to use the hub health check url on a node.
http://$HOST:$PORT/wd/hub/status

Tell us the detailed steps to reproduce it:
Try using curl on this URL on a node and you get connection refused.

Expected behavior

What do you expect to happen? How should have it worked?
I expected to get back a JSON response just like the hub would provide.

Environment

Your grid-node containers are what I am using.

selenium-server-standalone dumps Firefox profile on stderr

🐛 Bug Report

When using custom Firefox profile, java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar -role node dumps the whole (zipped?) profile to stderr, as part of Capabilities. This is several Megabytes...

To Reproduce

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar -role node

with prepareLoadedProfile_ as ffProfile (using Haskell bindings)

Expected behavior

There should be some way of restricting diagnostic messages to something reasonable... One should not have megabytes of data just dumped on stderr, especially when there is no actual error.

Documentation, Installing Standalone server

🐛 Bug Report

Hi,

I think this page gives a bit confusion: https://selenium.dev/documentation/en/selenium_installation/installing_standalone_server/

It says "The selenium-server-standalone jar is never uploaded, but all the components are available via selenium-server." but i think first link in download page (https://selenium.dev/downloads/ ) which is about Selenium Server (Grid) is standalone.jar file.

Best regards.

Libraries or framework section

🚀 Feature Proposal for the site or the documentation

Provide a section dedicated to frameworks or libraries both in the JVM and in other languages that use Selenium as its main dependency, under the hood or as supported, e.g. Webdriver.io, Watir

Motivation

Inform readers after they have read the basic documentation on existing libraries or frameworks that use WebDriver. This could cover users who are not JVM language based to find selenium frameworks that match their current capabilities in languages they feel more comfortable.

Example

Another section in the side bar or under an existing topic where it would fit e.g.: 3rd party frameworks

• Basic descriptions for frameworks in other languages and links to them
• Similar to this

Add link to go back to main Selenium site inside the docs

When someone clicks on the documentation link, there is no link to go back to the main Selenium website from there, which just makes the user type the URL in the address bar again.

Company listing disappeared?

On the old seleniumhq.org website, there was this page: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/www.seleniumhq.org/blob/master/src/main/webapp/ecosystem/index.jsp A listing of companies providing Selenium WebDriver services.

Is that gone now? what's the idea behind it?

Company listing disappeared?

🚀 Feature Proposal for the site or the documentation

On the old seleniumhq.org website, there was this page: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/www.seleniumhq.org/blob/master/src/main/webapp/ecosystem/index.jsp A listing of companies providing Selenium WebDriver services.

Motivation

It would be great to include this page again on the new website.

Example

So, people have a clear overview of companies providing Selenium WebDriver related services.

In between those commits, the page disappeared

Program.Browser.Quit() - freeze application

I installed webdriver version 4 into my visualStudio today.
I launched the application as usual. It does this:

.................
             Program.Browser = new ChromeDriver (options);
             Program.Browser.Manage(). Timeouts(). ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(500); // timeout for searching for items
             Program.Browser.Manage(). Window.Maximize();
.................

Then I do Program.Browser.Quit();
The browser window closes.
But chromedrover.exe does not close. And my application freezes. Only the Stop button in the IDE helps.

In the previous version of webdriver, everything worked fine.

Jenkins parallel pipeline close all the chrome proccesses

I have a jenkins pipeline job with three parallel stages launching tests against chrome with pytest.

stage('Run tests') {
            parallel {
                stage('Tests stage A') {
                    when {
                        expression { params.TEST_MARK_A != '' }
                    }
                    steps { 
                               ....
                              }
                stage('Tests stage B') {
                    when {
                        expression { params.TEST_MARK_B != '' }
                    }
                    steps { 
                               ....
                              }
                 stage('Tests stage C') {
                    when {
                        expression { params.TEST_MARK_C != '' }
                    }
                    steps { 
                               ....
                              }
                  }
}

The conf.test file contains the Chrome object

    caps = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
    caps['loggingPrefs'] = {'performance': 'ALL'}

    chromeoptions = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    chromeoptions.add_argument('--disable-web-security')
    chromeoptions.add_argument('--disable-translate')
    chromeoptions.add_argument('--disable-extensions')
    chromeoptions.add_argument('--disk-cache-dir=/dev/null')
    chromeoptions.add_argument('--disk-cache-size=1')

    browser = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=caps,
                               chrome_options=chromeoptions)
    browser.set_window_size(1400, 1100)
    browser.implicitly_wait(10)

    yield browser
    # Comment because cause "WebdriverException: chrome not reachable" in other stages when finish one stage
    browser.quit()

But when one stage finish, all chrome proccesses are close and other stages are failing with the following exception:

WebDriverException: Message: chrome not reachable
        (Session info: chrome=75.0.3770.142)
        (Driver info: chromedriver=2.38.552522 (437e6fbedfa8762dec75e2c5b3ddb86763dc9dcb),platform=Linux 4.15.0-48-generic x86_64)

I think webdriver only should close the chrome connections of this stage when browser.quit(), not all the chrome processes of the machine which is running in other stages

Broken markdown in "Waits" documentation page in Spanish

🐛 Bug Report

Browsed to the documentation page about "Waits" in Spanish (es) and there's content intermingled with markdown code showing in the HTML. Reading the content is uncomfortable.

To Reproduce

1. Navigate your browser (I used Firefox on Win10) to https://selenium.dev/documentation/es/webdriver/waits/
2. Scroll down to the sentence starting with:

   In that example, we pass in an anonymous function

3. Observe markdown intermingled with content. Ex:

   a timeout error.### Options The wait condition

Screenshot is attached:

Types of Testing page (content)

🐛 Bug Report

sendkeys - Add list of possible key strokes

🚀 Feature Proposal for the site or the documentation

The sendkeys only has one example - e.g. ${KEY_ENTER}). It's not very helpful and leads me to guess the other ones like ${KEY_TAB}, is that even valid? A list of valid keystrokes needs to be confirmed for example shift, alt and other things like that.

Motivation

As above.

Remove deprecated Selenium class from Documentation code examples

🐛 Bug Report

The Selenium class is used in the Documentation code example on the
'Guidelines > Page object models' page and possibly elsewhere. This was confusing, since I don't recall it being explained or referenced in the Documentation flow prior to this page. Then, I found in the API that the class is deprecated, which explained why it's usage isn't explained.

References to the Selenium class might also occur on other pages. Though, I might be confused by examples that I encountered on other websites.

To Reproduce

Please update the code examples to not reference deprecated classes. Thanks

Add new language on site (Korean)

Hello. I am a university student in Korea. First of all, thank you for your wonderful project and documentation.
I've recently learned about crawler including this for team project, and my friends and I were really impressed by your documentation. And I would like to add Korean to your document. Because there'are lot of people who are interested in crawler this could help more Korean developer to use Selenium.
I am raising an issue because I want to hear your opinion on this. Thank you for reading the long post.

PS. And I have also signed the CLA on this link.

Python code examples should use Python3 print() syntax

🐛 Bug Report

Expected behavior

Python examples in documentation should all use Python3 syntax, not Python2.

Actual behavior

Many examples in the docs use the old print statement syntax rather than print() function.

Rationale

Python2 is EOL as of January 2020 and support for it will be dropped from the Python language bindings sooner than later (I expect). Using the old syntax will cause confusion for beginners reading the official documentation.
