import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;


public class GmailDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

            WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

            driver.manage().window().maximize();

            String url = "https://accounts.google.com/signin";

            driver.get(url);

            driver.findElement(By.id("identifierId")).sendKeys("raj8805"); 

            //driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);      

            WebDriverWait wait=new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);               

            driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='RveJvd snByac']")).click();         

            driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(50, TimeUnit.SECONDS);        

            driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@class='whsOnd zHQkBf']")).sendKeys("asassassa");             

            driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='RveJvd snByac']")).click(); 

    }  

}

The problem is that, after mail id page, my password is getting written in the id box option & the server redirects to next password page. I want to ask, what should I do so that my password would be entered only in password page?

Comments

Can you help me to write the script to create new user for gmail account.

---

@Abhilash, the problem here is, while trying to create a new user, it will ask for your phone number and send a verification code to that phone number. This step cannot be automated with Selenium.

Otherwise until here, the steps are straight forward and requires using only basic element locators.

---

add wait statement after userid box

---

Even if we use wait statement after userid box, we cannot automate the process of submitting the OTP which comes on the mobile number. Wait statement can only delay the process, and this process eventually getting failed with an error / exception is inevitable.

---

I tried the same code above but did not work in Chrome. Need help please.

Problem here is: Until User credentials fill-in and click on "Next" button is fine, but after that the code is not able to place the password value in password field. Tried few different ways I could but need some expertise from you guys who are working for long time. I appreciate your help please.

Here is my code snippets:

public class GmailDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {        

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

        String url = "https://accounts.google.com/signin";

        driver.get(url);

        driver.findElement(By.id("identifierId")).sendKeys("sm43522");

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);         

        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='RveJvd snByac']")).click();

        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);

        WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='whsOnd zHQkBf']"));

        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(password));

        password.sendKeys("your_password");

        //driver.findElement(By.id("passwordNext")).click();        

        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='RveJvd snByac']")).click();         

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(50, TimeUnit.SECONDS);        

        //driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@class='whsOnd zHQkBf']")).sendKeys("asassassa");             

        //driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='RveJvd snByac']")).click();      

    }

}

Hey @Snehasish, You can try this code here:- 

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class GmailLogin {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException   
   {
      System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\priyj_kumar\\Downloads\\chromedriver.exe");
      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
      driver.get("https://www.gmail.com");
      driver.findElement(By.id("identifierId")).sendKeys("priyajkumart",Keys.ENTER);
      Thread.sleep(3000);
      driver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys("PASSWORD",Keys.ENTER);
      Thread.sleep(4000);
      driver.close();
   }
}

This works absolutely fine in chrome. Hope this helps.

---

Thank you priyaj. It works nicely with chrome in mac. Very useful tips!

---

@Snehasish, you are welcome.

---

This worked well...

package webdriver;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

public class Login {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\selenium-drivers\\chromedriver.exe");

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.manage().window().maximize();

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);

driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/signin");

driver.findElement(By.id("identifierId")).sendKeys("gmailID");

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"identifierNext\"]/span/span")).click();

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"password\"]/div[1]/div/div[1]/input"));

        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(password));

        

        password.sendKeys("password123");

        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"passwordNext\"]/span/span")).click();

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

driver.close();

}

}

---

Yes, this code would work well.

---

It works PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

if you are looking for to read the gmail message/mail, it is easy to do it with google api's which can help to read/search/compose/edit emails.

https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/guides/

---

Hi Vishwa, I agree with you. Google Api helps in reading or searching for emails in gmail.

WebDriver driver = null;

try {

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path of chrome driver");

}

catch(Exception ex) {

ex.printStackTrace();

System.out.println("Error in getting driver -> "+ex.getLocalizedMessage());

}

driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/signin");

driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

driver.findElement(By.id("identifierId")).sendKeys("your email", Keys.ENTER);

WebDriverWait wait=new WebDriverWait(driver, 5);               

        //driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='CwaK9']")).click();         

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        WebElement element = wait.until(

            ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("password")));

        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='password']")).sendKeys("your password");

        

        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='RveJvd snByac']")).click();

Check the below code:

Here is the working code block to login into your Gmail account through a valid set of credentials-

    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\your_directory\\geckodriver.exe");

    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

    driver.manage().window().maximize();

    String url = "https://accounts.google.com/signin";

    driver.get(url);

    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS); 

    WebElement email_phone = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='identifierId']"));

    email_phone.sendKeys("your_email_phone");

    driver.findElement(By.id("identifierNext")).click();

    WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='password']"));

Answer 2

Below code worked fine for me (just change the email id n password from your end):-

package GmailDemos;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class gmailLogin {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
gmailLogin obj = new gmailLogin();
obj.loginBrowser();
}
public void loginBrowser() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette","D:\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(15,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("http://www.gmail.com");
driver.findElement(By.id("identifierId")).sendKeys("abc@gmail.com");
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='identifierNext']/div[2]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='password']/div[1]/div/div[1]/input")).sendKeys("password");
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='passwordNext']/div[2]")).click();
}
}

yes, is it working but some changes on next button xpath
Thank you

---

so what exactly is the difference?

---

Thank you Akshay. What is the change in XPath for next button?

Answer 3

As far as I could understand your problem you are trying to enter the email id ,press on forgot
password and enter the recovery email. So, here the issue which you are facing is that your xpath
which identifies the email id uniquely is same for the recovery email id too. So, putting implicit
wait would not solve your issue. Since the xpath for both are same and also since the speed of
selenium is much more faster than your internet so before going to the recovery page your
normal id is being detected.

To overcome such problems you can use two different xpath , or, you can also use explicit wait.

Your code after changing the xpath:

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
public class css
{
public static WebDriver driver=null;
public static WebDriverWait wait=null;
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D:\\SeleniumFiles\\Selenium\\Drivers\\c
hromedriver.exe");

driver = new ChromeDriver();
wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 60);

String url = "https://accounts.google.com/signin";
driver.get(url);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='identifierId'][@class='whsOnd
zHQkBf'][@type='email']")).sendKeys("raj8805");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='RveJvd snByac']")).click();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(50, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='recoveryIdentifierId']")).sendKeys("asassas
sa");

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"queryPhoneNext\"]/content/span")).click();
}

}

Your code after using explicit wait:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
public class css
{
public static WebDriver driver=null;
public static WebDriverWait wait=null;
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D:\\SeleniumFiles\\Selenium\\Drivers\\c
hromedriver.exe");

driver = new ChromeDriver();
wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 60);
String url = "https://accounts.google.com/signin";

driver.get(url);
driver.findElement(By.id("identifierId")).sendKeys("raj8805");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='RveJvd snByac']")).click();
wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//h1[text()='Find
your email']")));
System.out.println("Located");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@class='whsOnd
zHQkBf']")).sendKeys("asassassa");

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='RveJvd snByac']")).click();
}

}

Answer 5

I don't have lots of knowledge but yes I told you the seven basic steps of Selenium tests:

• Create a WebDriver instance
• Navigate to a Web page.
• Locate an HTML element on the Web page.
• Perform an action on an HTML element.
• Anticipate the browser response to the action.
• Run tests and record test results using a test framework.
• Conclude the test.

Thanks!

Answer 10

Hey @martin, You'll need an email client to handle mail requests in windows.

Answer 11

You can use the following code to automate the process of login in Gmail.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Your path\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://www.gmail.com");
driver.findElement(By.id("identifierId")).sendKeys("username");
driver.findElement(By.className("CwaK9")).click();
driver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys("mypassword");
driver.findElement(By.className("CwaK9")).click();

Hope this helps.

Comments

in this line of code 

driver.findElement(By.className("CwaK9")).click();

"CwaK9" what it actually denotes 

---

"CwaK9" is the class name of an element on the page.  To click on that element, this command is used.

Hey @pratik Koli you can do the same without waiting to click on next button

---

Yes we have to remove thread value so without waiting we can able to login to Gmail more faster.

---

What do you mean by thread value here?

---

Thread.sleep(2000);// this value

---

okay. have you tried this? this looks more comfortable though the work is same but look more compact. What do you say?

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class GmailLogin {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException   
   {
      System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\priyj_kumar\\Downloads\\chromedriver.exe");
      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
      driver.get("https://www.gmail.com");
      driver.findElement(By.id("identifierId")).sendKeys("priyajkumart",Keys.ENTER);
      Thread.sleep(3000);
      driver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys("PASSWORD",Keys.ENTER);
      Thread.sleep(4000);
      driver.close();
   }
}

---

Ok I'll try.thanks for the above script.

---

@Pratik this doesn't give you the logout option rest all works fine. Do let me know as what is your view for the above code and it worked for you or not.
