Execute jQuery With Selenium WebDriver Example

This example will show you how to execute jQuery script in selenium webdriver automation test script. When your web page contain jQuery js file, it will execute the jQuery script directly, when the web page do not contain jQuery js file, it can inject a local jQuery js file and then execute the jQuery script.

1. Run jQuery In Selenium WebDriver Example.

There are two web page as below. The page content is same, the only difference is that one page contain jquery-3.3.1.min.js the other do not contain it.

  1. https://www.dev2qa.com/demo/jquery/hide-show-contain-jquery.html, this page contains jQuery include script as below. So we can execute jQuery directly in selenium webdriver with this page.
    <script type=”text/javascript” src=”./jquery-3.3.1.min.js”></script>
  2. https://www.dev2qa.com/demo/jquery/hide-show-not-contain-jquery.html, this page do not contain jQuery include script. So we should inject a local version of jQuery script before execute it.

This example run two test case method in a TestNG class. The two test method will ordered by it’s priority attribute value. You can refer TestNG Tutorial Article List to learn more about TestNG.
