Create Maven project in eclipse

Selenium 4.0

Click Next > Select checkbox ‘Create a simple project’

Selenium 4.0

Selenium 4.0

Click this section to copy it

Paste it in dependencies section of pom.xml file

Selenium 4.0

Ctrl+Shift+F to format the file

Save the pom.xml file to automatically download all the dependencies of selenium 4

Once the save process completes, you will see ‘Maven Dependencies’ folder getting created 

Selenium 4.0

If you expand this folder, you will see all the Selenium 4 related dependencies

Selenium 4.0

If you see below error, just edit the pom.xml file and save it again. For example, you can edit <dependency> to <dependency and change it back to <dependency>

If you save it now, the error should disappear

Add webdriver manager dependency to manage browsers

We will next add webdriver manager dependency to pom.xml file so that we can execute test(s) on different browser types (like chrome, firefox etc.)

Selenium 4.0

Selenium 4.0

Selenium 4.0

Save the file, you will than see the webdrivermanager jar

The advantage of webdrivermanager is that, we don’t have to manually download the executables of different browsers (chrome, firefox etc.)

Create simple Selenium 4 test 

Create a simple java class and write the selenium code as shown below

Selenium 4.0

Run as Java application, notice that the browser is launched and gets navigated to desired website

Selenium 4.0

Below is the snapshot of console

Selenium 4.0

Code snippet

package sel4scripts;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;

public class FirstSelTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.get(“https://www.bing.com/”);

}

}

We are now set to learn the new features in selenium 4.
