To get the current URL and title of a webpage using Selenium in Java, you need to follow these steps:
Set up your Selenium environment: Ensure you have the necessary dependencies for Selenium. If you are using Maven, add the Selenium dependency to your
pom.xml.Initialize the WebDriver: Create an instance of the WebDriver. For this example, we’ll use ChromeDriver.
Navigate to a webpage: Use the WebDriver to open a webpage.
Retrieve the current URL and title: Use the appropriate WebDriver methods to get the URL and title of the current page.
Here’s a detailed step-by-step example:
Step 1: Set up your Selenium environment
If you are using Maven, add the following dependency to your ‘pom.xml‘ file:
<dependencies>
<!-- Selenium Java -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
<version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<!-- Selenium Chrome Driver -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-chrome-driver</artifactId>
<version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Step 2: Initialize the WebDriver
You need to have ChromeDriver executable in your system. Download it from ChromeDriver download page and place it in a suitable location.
Step 3: Write your Java code
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class GetCurrentURLAndTitle {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Set the path to the ChromeDriver executable
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");
// Initialize WebDriver
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// Navigate to a webpage
driver.get("https://www.example.com");
// Get the current URL
String currentURL = driver.getCurrentUrl();
System.out.println("Current URL: " + currentURL);
// Get the page title
String pageTitle = driver.getTitle();
System.out.println("Page Title: " + pageTitle);
// Close the browser
driver.quit();
}
}
Detailed Explanation
1. Setting up ChromeDriver:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");
This line sets the system property for ChromeDriver. Replace ‘"path/to/chromedriver"‘ with the actual path to the ChromeDriver executable on your machine.
2. Initializing WebDriver:
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
This initializes a new instance of ChromeDriver, which will open a new Chrome browser window.
3. Navigating to a webpage:
driver.get("https://www.example.com");
This command tells the browser to open the specified URL.
4. Getting the current URL:
String currentURL = driver.getCurrentUrl();
System.out.println("Current URL: " + currentURL);
This retrieves the current URL of the webpage and prints it to the console.
5. Getting the page title:
String pageTitle = driver.getTitle();
System.out.println("Page Title: " + pageTitle);
This retrieves the title of the webpage and prints it to the console.
6. Closing the browser:
driver.quit();
This closes the browser and ends the WebDriver session.
Running the Code
- Ensure you have the ChromeDriver executable downloaded and its path set correctly in the code.
- Ensure your Maven project is set up correctly with the required dependencies.
- Run the
GetCurrentURLAndTitleclass as a Java application.
This example demonstrates the basics of navigating to a webpage and retrieving its URL and title using Selenium WebDriver in Java.
