How to Find Broken links in an Application using Selenium Webdriver....?

[neeraj bakhtani]

Hi,
How can we find broken links or Broken images in an application by using Selenium Webdriver....?

Hi,

You can use webdriver to get the "href"  values of all the "a" (hyperlink) elements. Once u have all the links with you, you can use Apache Http Client to sent a "get" request through code. By checking the response code (whether it is a 200 or not), you can say whether the link is broken or not.

Here's something I did in the past that worked well for me. It's all in Python but you can get the gist:

# First, we'll use selenium to get the page and grab all the links and images from the page:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/")
links = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("a")
images = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("img")

# Now we'll hit each of the URLS using the head request from the Python Requests library
import requests
for link in links:
    r = requests.head(link.get_attribute('href')
    print(r.status_code == 200)
# Do the same with the images
for image in images:
    r = requests.head(image.get_attribute('src')
    print(r.status_code == 200)

I hope this helps,

-Doug

You could alter the code to show ONLY the bad links (not 200):

for link in links:
    r = requests.head(link.get_attribute('href')

    if r.status_code != 200:
        print(link.get_attribute('href')
