SELENIUM: HOW TO CAPTURE TOOLTIP MESSAGE IN SELENIUM WEBDRIVER:

HOW TO CAPTURE TOOL TIP MESSAGE IN SELENIUM WEB DRIVER:

Tooltip is nothing but an Advice Message to the User (or) Helper Text.

For example In Gmail Signup Page while you are clicking or entering username or Password helper text appears, those text messages are called Tooltip messages.

Steps to read tooltip message:

1. Open browser, enter your application URL (www.gmail.com in this example)

2. Click on the Web element (Password field in this example)and mouse Hover to that tooltip text (Mouse Hover can be performed by using Actions(C) or JavaScript Executor(I)).

3. call get Text() on that mouse hovered Web Element ,store the value in String format and print on the console.

4. Verify with Actual text with Expected result.

Sample Program for reading or capturing the tool tip message :

package com.rameshsoft.demos;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class CaptureTooltipDemo {

          WebDriver driver;

          @Test

          public void mm() throws InterruptedException

          {

                   System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Users\\ramesh\\Desktop\\desktop1\\java\\desk\\geckodriver-v0.11.1-win64\\geckodriver.exe");

                    driver=new FirefoxDriver();

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/SignUp?service=mail&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F&ltmpl=default");

Thread.sleep(2000);

//click on Password

driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='Passwd']")).click();;

WebElement ele=driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[3]/div[1]/div[2]"));

//perfroming mouseHover

mouseHOver(ele);

String ActualText="at least 8 characters. Don’t use a password from another site, or something too obvious like your pet’s name. Why?";

String expectedText=ele.getText();

System.out.println("text is: "+expectedText);

if(ActualText.equalsIgnoreCase(ele.getText()))

{

System.out.println("Both Actual and Expected values are  Equal");        

}

else

{

System.out.println("Both Actual and Expected values are not Equal");   

}

          }

          public void mouseHOver(WebElement ele)

          {

                  

String mouseOverScript = "if(document.createEvent){var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');evObj.initEvent('mouseover',true, false); arguments[0].dispatchEvent(evObj);} else if(document.createEventObject) { arguments[0].fireEvent('onmouseover');}";

         

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(mouseOverScript,ele);

                  

          }

}

OUTPUT:

text is: Use at least 8 characters. Don’t use a password from another site, or something too obvious like your pet’s name. Why?

Both Actual and Expected values are  Equal
