Selenium WebDriver is a powerful web framework that allows you to execute cross-browser tests. By learning this tool, you can create robust, browser-based regression automation suites and tests, all while scaling and distributing scripts across many different environments.

This is a recipe course, meaning you can directly go to the part that interests you. For example, if you are testing a multiple select list and don’t know how, you can look it up in the course roadmap and proceed with that lesson.

With over 170 recipes for web application testing, you’ll have the opportunity to learn and practice both beginning and advanced techniques with Selenium WebDriver. By the time you complete this course, you will have a great new skill, and you’ll save tons of time when it comes to automating real user interactions in Firefox, Safari, Edge, Chrome, Internet Explorer and more!

Selenium WebDriver Recipes in Node.js

# Assert table text

HTML tables are commonly used for displaying grid data on web pages.


codemirror

The source code for above HTML table is as follows:





We can assert the text in this table as:



driver.findElement(By.id("alpha_table")).getText().then(function(the_elem_text){ 
  assert.equal("A B\na b", the_elem_text);
});    

driver.findElement(By.id("alpha_table")).then(function(the_element) {
  driver.executeScript("return arguments[0].outerHTML;", the_element).then(  
    function(the_elem_html) {
      assert(the_element_html.contains("<td id=\"cell_1_1\">A</td>"))
  });    
});


The above script is asserting the text of the first table cell, i.e., first row and first column.

# Assert text in a table cell

We can assert text in the table cell with two ways. The first and easier option is to assert the table cell text with the unique ID of `td tag` as:

~~~
driver.findElement(By.id("cell_1_1")).getText().then(function(cell_text) {
  assert.equal("A", cell_text);
});
~~~

An alternative approach is to identify a table cell using row and column indexes (both starting with 0).

~~~
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//table/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]")).getText().then(  
  function(the_elem_text) {
    assert.equal("b", the_elem_text);
});
~~~

# Assert text in a table row

The text in the table row can be asserted by the following scripts:

~~~
driver.findElement(By.id("row_1")).getText().then(function(the_elem_text) {
  assert.equal("A B", the_elem_text);
});
~~~
In the next [lesson](https://www.educative.io/courses/selenium-webdriver-nodejs/miscellaneous-assertions), we will test these recipes.
