I'm new to programming and I have worked in Python Selenium for web automation in the past. Now, I'm using Appium Windows driver to automate Desktop UI using C#. Here is the sample code which I trying to work with,
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Appium.Windows;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Remote;
using System;
namespace CalculatorTest
{
public class CalculatorSession
{
// Note: append /wd/hub to the URL if you're directing the test at Appium
private const string WindowsApplicationDriverUrl = "http://127.0.0.1:4723";
private const string CalculatorAppId = "Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App";
protected static WindowsDriver<WindowsElement> session;
public static void Setup(TestContext context)
{
// Launch Calculator application if it is not yet launched
if (session == null)
{
// Create a new session to bring up an instance of the Calculator application
// Note: Multiple calculator windows (instances) share the same process Id
DesiredCapabilities appCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
appCapabilities.SetCapability("app", CalculatorAppId);
appCapabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "WindowsPC");
session = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri(WindowsApplicationDriverUrl), appCapabilities);
Assert.IsNotNull(session);
// Set implicit timeout to 1.5 seconds to make element search to retry every 500 ms for at most three times
session.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1.5);
}
}
public static void TearDown()
{
// Close the application and delete the session
if (session != null)
{
session.Quit();
session = null;
}
}
}
}
I'm getting an error says "DesiredCapabilities is inaccessible due to its protection level". Can you please tell me how I can overcome this error?
Now I ran into the same thing. Downgrading Selenium.WebDriver helped. Decreased to 3.10
Environment:
Vs2019, C#
NuGet Package: Selenium v3.141.0 by Selenium Committee.
Chrome Driver from Selenium website - v92.0
IWebDriver Driver = new ChromeDriver("FolderPath"); //time out error here.
Driver.url = "www.google.com"
with no other code, I can't get pass declaring Chrome Driver. I get a time out error with local host.
I tried:
setting a different port.
adding "no-sandbox" to arguments.
I would try utilizing the ChromeDriver NuGet package instead of pointing to a local file location
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver/
Here is a simple example for you to reference
using NUnit.Framework;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
namespace ExampleDemo
{
[TestFixture]
public class Chrome_test
{
private IWebDriver driver;
[Test(Description="Go To Google")]
public void GoToGoogle() {
homeURL = https://www.google.com/;
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(homeURL);
}
[TearDown]
public void TearDownTest()
{
driver.Close();
}
[SetUp]
public void SetupTest()
{
driver = new ChromeDriver();
}
}
}
I need to add a chrome option:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions()
options.add("--remote-debugging-port=9222 ") // change port if necessary
I'm implemented Nunit selenium C# testing in visual studio (Console Application n Class Library). My project in visual studio is console application. I started the selenium grid using

I had tried execute using Test Explorer but it does not open any browser. I"m following this tutorial.
Questions:
How to run the project with browser open and see all actions?
How to run using Nunit-console-runner.
Please help me. Thanks.
I assume that:
1. You have tried your code locally and your test is opening the browser when you run it on your machine without the grid.
2. Your nodes are set up and registered with the hub.
You need to:
1. Use RemoteWebDriver:
var uri = 'uri_to_your_grid_hub';
var capabilities = new ChromeOptions().ToCapabilities();
var commandTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5);
var driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri(uri),capabilities,commandTimeout)
Add the attribute to a class: [Parallelizable(ParallelScope.Self)] in order to run your tests in parallel with other test classes.
In order to verify whether the hub is running, open the browser and navigate to http://localhost:4444 on the hub machine.
Sources:
How can I run NUnit(Selenium Grid) tests in parallel?
Selenium Grid in C#
Useful C# WebDriver examples
Selenium Grid set up
I haven't used grid in .Net but here my answer:
your command is just register a hub, which needs to keep running (open a browser and test it is working)
you need to register your nodes under that hub (different ports) (open a browser and test it is working)
in your code, you should use "RemoteWebDriver" to connect to the hub.
something along these lines (it is in java but I hope it gives you a starting point)
public class Gmail
{
public WebDriver driver=null;
#Parameters("browser") //testng.xml
#Test()
public void GmailTest(String browser)
{
System.out.println("Gmail " + browser);
// RemoteWebdriver
DesiredCapabilities cap = null;
if(browser.equals("firefox")){
cap = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
cap.setBrowserName("firefox");
cap.setPlatform(Platform.ANY);
}else if (browser.equals("iexplore")){
cap = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
cap.setBrowserName("iexplore");
cap.setPlatform(Platform.WINDOWS);
}
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"),cap);
driver.get("http://gmail.com");
driver.findElement(By.id("Email")).sendKeys("abcd");
driver.quit();
}
I hope this helps.good luck
I am trying to creat an Appium framework to test a real android device plugged into my computer.
TestBrowser.cs
[TestClass]
public class UnitTest1
{
//create instance for appium driver
AppiumDriver<AndroidElement> _driver;
[TestMethod]
public void TestBrowser()
{
DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
cap.SetCapability("deviceName", "Xiaomi MI 5");
cap.SetCapability("platformVersion", "8.0.0");
cap.SetCapability("platformName", "Android");
cap.SetCapability("udid", "6d8d73n2");
cap.SetCapability("fullReset", "True");
cap.SetCapability(MobileCapabilityType.App, "Browser");
_driver = new AndroidDriver<AndroidElement>(new Uri("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"), cap);
_driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.co.uk");
_driver.FindElementByName("q").SendKeys("Appium");
_driver.FindElementByName("q").SendKeys(Keys.Enter);
}
}
When I run my test I am getting the following error:
ERROR: The requested URL could not be retrieved
It seems to error out at
_driver = new AndroidDriver<AndroidElement>(new Uri("http://0.0.0.0:4732/wd/hub"), cap);
This is new to me and I'm just trying to set up a basic test to build upon.
Stupid answer, but maybe You miss-typed your port, default is 4723 not 4732.
_driver = new AndroidDriver<AndroidElement>(new Uri("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"),
I know it is same, but try also:
http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub
Hope this helps,

I downloaded the C# client drivers and the IDE. I managed to record some tests and successfully ran them from the IDE. But now I want to do that using C#. I added all relevant DLL files (Firefox) to the project, but I don't have the Selenium class. Some Hello, World! would be nice.
From the Selenium Documentation:
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
class GoogleSuggest
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
//Notice navigation is slightly different than the Java version
//This is because 'get' is a keyword in C#
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com/");
IWebElement query = driver.FindElement(By.Name("q"));
query.SendKeys("Cheese");
System.Console.WriteLine("Page title is: " + driver.Title);
driver.Quit();
}
}
Install the NuGet packet manager
Download link: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/27077b70-9dad-4c64-adcf-c7cf6bc9970c
Create a C# console application
Right-click on the project → Manage NuGet Packages.
Search for "Selenium" and install package Selenium.Support.
You are done now, and you are ready to write your code :)
For code with Internet Explorer, download the Internet Explorer driver.

To set up the IDE for Selenium in conjunction with C# is to use Visual Studio Express. And you can use NUnit as the testing framework. The below links provide you more details. It seems you have set up what is explained in the first link. So check the second link for more details on how to create a basic script.
How to setup C#, NUnit and Selenium client drivers on Visual Studio Express for Automated tests
Creating a basic Selenium web driver test case using NUnit and C#
Sample code from the above blog post:
using System;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
// Step a
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using NUnit.Framework;
namespace NUnitSelenium
{
[TestFixture]
public class UnitTest1
{
[SetUp]
public void SetupTest()
{
}
[Test]
public void Test_OpeningHomePage()
{
// Step b - Initiating webdriver
IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
// Step c: Making driver to navigate
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://docs.seleniumhq.org/");
// Step d
IWebElement myLink = driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Download"));
myLink.Click();
// Step e
driver.Quit();
)
}
}
One of the things that I had a hard time finding was how to use PageFactory in C#. Especially for multiple IWebElements. If you wish to use PageFactory, here are a few examples. Source: PageFactory.cs
To declare an HTML WebElement, use this inside the class file.
private const string _ID ="CommonIdinHTML";
[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = _ID)]
private IList<IWebElement> _MultipleResultsByID;
private const string _ID2 ="IdOfElement";
[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = _ID2)]
private IWebElement _ResultById;
Don't forget to instantiate the page object elements inside the constructor.
public MyClass(){
PageFactory.InitElements(driver, this);
}
Now you can access that element in any of your files or methods. Also, we can take relative paths from those elements if we ever wish to. I prefer pagefactory because:
I don't ever need to call the driver directly using driver.FindElement(By.Id("id"))
The objects are lazy initialized
I use this to write my own wait-for-elements methods, WebElements wrappers to access only what I need to expose to the test scripts, and helps keeps things clean.
This makes life a lot easier if you have dynamic (autogerated) webelements like lists of data. You simply create a wrapper that will take the IWebElements and add methods to find the element you are looking for.
FirefoxDriverService service = FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService(#"D:\DownloadeSampleCode\WordpressAutomation\WordpressAutomation\Selenium", "geckodriver.exe");
service.Port = 64444;
service.FirefoxBinaryPath = #"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe";
Instance = new FirefoxDriver(service);
C#
First of all, download Selenium IDE for Firefox from the Selenium IDE.
Use and play around with it, test a scenario, record the steps, and then export it as a C# or Java project as per your requirement.
The code file contains code something like:
using System;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
// Add this name space to access WebDriverWait
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
namespace MyTest
{
[TestClass]
public class MyTest
{
public static IWebDriver Driver = null;
// Use TestInitialize to run code before running each test
[TestInitialize()]
public void MyTestInitialize()
{
try
{
string path = Path.GetFullPath(""); // Copy the Chrome driver to the debug
// folder in the bin or set path accordingly
Driver = new ChromeDriver(path);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string error = ex.Message;
}
}
// Use TestCleanup to run code after each test has run
[TestCleanup()]
public void MyCleanup()
{
Driver.Quit();
}
[TestMethod]
public void MyTestMethod()
{
try
{
string url = "http://www.google.com";
Driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(url);
IWait<IWebDriver> wait = new WebDriverWait(Driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30.00)); // Wait in Selenium
wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.PresenceOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.XPath(#"//*[#id='lst - ib']")));
var txtBox = Driver.FindElement(By.XPath(#"//*[#id='lst - ib']"));
txtBox.SendKeys("Google Office");
var btnSearch = Driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[#id='tsf']/div[2]/div[3]/center/input[1]"));
btnSearch.Click();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string error = ex.Message;
}
}
}
}
You need to get the Chrome driver from here.
You need to get NuGet packages and necessary DLL files for the Selenium NuGet website.
You need to understand the basics of Selenium from the Selenium documentation website.
That's all...

}
You will need to install Microsoft Visual Studio community Edition
Create a new project as Test Project of C#
Add Selenium references from the NuGet Package Manager. Then you will be all set.
Create a new class and use [Test Class] and [Test Method] annotations to run your script
You can refer to Run Selenium C# | Setup Selenium and C# | Configure Selenium C# for more details.
Use the below code once you've added all the required C# libraries to the project in the references.
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
namespace SeleniumWithCsharp
{
class Test
{
public IWebDriver driver;
public void openGoogle()
{
// creating Browser Instance
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
//Maximizing the Browser
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
// Opening the URL
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://google.com");
driver.FindElement(By.Id("lst-ib")).SendKeys("Hello World");
driver.FindElement(By.Name("btnG")).Click();
}
static void Main()
{
Test test = new Test();
test.openGoogle();
}
