How can ID used as a locator to enter an email-id in gmail

Question

I have started my project on automating the process of login in Gmail and am new to selenium. Can someone help me on as how to locate the Username text box using ID?

Answer 1

You can use the id field of the gmail to enter your email id:

See the screenshot attached:

Here the id is mentioned as   "identifierId" you can use that to find the element. Here is the code that I used to do this :

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://www.gmail.com");
WebElement id = driver.findElement(By.id("identifierId"));
id.sendKeys("youremailid");
WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.className("CwaK9"));
button.click();

Hope this helps.
