The fact that selenium driven WebDriver gets detected doesn’t depends on any specific Selenium, Chrome or ChromeDriver version. The Websites themselves can detect the network traffic and can identify the Browser Client i.e. Web Browser as WebDriver controled. However some generic approaches to avoid getting detected while web-scraping are as follows: The first and foremost … Read more

As of Firefox version 48.0 the old driver will be deprecated completely and only Marionette can be used … Read more
Given you already found your element and you want to check for a certain class inside the class-attribute: public boolean hasClass(WebElement element) { String classes = element.getAttribute(“class”); for (String c : classes.split(” “)) { if (c.equals(theClassYouAreSearching)) { return true; } } return false; } #EDIT As @aurelius rightly pointed out, there is an even simpler … Read more
I have found the same thing on Internet Explorer 8 when attempting to click links using .Click() – even though I can see Selenium clicking on the link.

driver.Manage().Timeouts().PageLoad = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5); Note: driver.Manage().Timeouts().SetPageLoadTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5)) is now deprecated.
I used java print statements for easy understanding. To check Element Present: if(driver.findElements(By.xpath(“value”)).size() != 0){ System.out.println(“Element is Present”); }else{ System.out.println(“Element is Absent”); } Or if(driver.findElement(By.xpath(“value”))!= null){ System.out.println(“Element is Present”); }else{ System.out.println(“Element is Absent”); } To check Visible: if( driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“a > font”)).isDisplayed()){ System.out.println(“Element is Visible”); }else{ System.out.println(“Element is InVisible”); } To check Enable: if( driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“a > … Read more
