Handle 'HTML text editor' in selenium RC and WebDriver

We could not directly insert text in the HTML editor. To automate the HTML editor we need to first click on the Show view source image button in the Editor tool box and then we can able to insert text in HTML editor text area.

WebDriver.FindElement(By.Id("viewsource")).Click();

WebDriver.FindElement(By.Id("txtHTMLEditor_textarea")).SendKeys("This is my Text!");

How to run same script on FF/IE/Chrome in Webdriver

Setting the Browser key in the app.config, we can execute the same script in the different browser(s).

        

         ///

        /// Returns an instance of the web driver based on test browser.

        ///

        /// The browser driver.

        public static IWebDriver GetInstance()

        {

            string browserName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Browser"];

            IWebDriver webDriver = null;

            switch (browserName)

            {

                case Internet_Explorer: webDriver = IEWebDriver(); break;

                case FireFox: webDriver = FireFoxWebDriver(); break;

                case Safari: webDriver = SafariWebDriver(); break;

                case Chrome: webDriver = ChromeWebDriver(); break;

                default: throw new ArgumentException("The suggested browser was not found");

            }

            return webDriver;

        }

Webdriver Handling IEdriver.exe path of 32/64 bit machine !

Webdriver handling IEdriver.exe for 32 Bit and 64 bit machine. Now, we don’t need to bother to change every time the path for IEdriver.exe for 32/64 bit machine. Just add the below code and keep both IEdriver.exe file in a folder and it would automatically choose according to machine configuration.

String processorArchitecture = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.GetValue(

                "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment"

                , "PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE", null).ToString();

            string ieDriverPath =

                (Path.GetDirectoryName(

                System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase)

                + "\\..\\..\\..\\..\\ExternalAssemblies\\" + ((processorArchitecture == "x86") ? "x86" : "x64")).Replace("file:\\", "");
