How to record a script using selenium webdriver?

While doing automation we come across the scenario where our script dont run as expected and we need to show someone what is happening , so that time we need to record our script.

So, that thing we can easily do with the ATUTestRecorder library.

Step 1:-

Download ATUTestRecorder library from here

Step 2:-


Right click on project> Go to build path > Configure build path


Step 3:-



Go to Add External jars and select the downloaded jar file


Step 4:-


Click on Apply and close

this will add that Jar file into your project path.

By refreshing on Refrence libraries you can see this jar file.




Step 5:-

write a code to record and stop the script.

ATUTestRecorder record = new ATUTestRecorder("E://Recording", "fb", false);
  record.start();

here you can use Date and time name to save this file, i have used simple name "fb" for easy understanding


This class will take 3 parameters ( 1 file location to save this file , 2nd name of the file , 3 rd is to save background audio)


to Stop recording,

record.stop();

Here i have sample class i have created one script which will record signup script of the facebook.

package facebook;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;

import atu.testrecorder.ATUTestRecorder;
import atu.testrecorder.exceptions.ATUTestRecorderException;


public class facebook {

 public static void main(String[] args) throws ATUTestRecorderException {
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\5558\\eclipse-workspace\\chromedriver.exe");
  
  WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
  ATUTestRecorder record = new ATUTestRecorder("E://Recording", "fb", false);
  record.start();
    

  driver.navigate().to("https://www.facebook.com");
  
  driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='u_0_j']")).sendKeys("sam");
  driver.findElement(By.name("lastname")).sendKeys("jani");
  driver.findElement(By.id("u_0_o")).sendKeys("sam123@yahoo.com");
  driver.findElement(By.name("reg_passwd__")).sendKeys("dixit1234");
  
  Select sel = new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("birthday_day")));
     sel.selectByValue("24");
     Select month= new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("birthday_month")));
     month.selectByIndex(8);
     Select year = new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("birthday_year")));
     year.selectByVisibleText("1997");
     driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='u_0_a']")).click();
     driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='u_0_11']")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='u_0_r']")).sendKeys("sam123@yahoo.com");
     driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='u_0_11']")).click();
     record.stop();
     driver.close();
     
  
 }

}
