Press control+F5 using webdriver

[Mattayi]

I am using webdriverbackedselenium. My requirement is to press control
+ F5 such as to clear my cache. Is there any method provided by
selenium or webdriver to do so. Also it will great if the key press
events are independent of any other page elements.

I read somewhere that java Robot class can be used to simulate this.
But this always does for whichever window that has focus.

[Leonardo Galani]

close and open again the browser to kill the cache. (stop / start)

Mathew,

Since you would be having an instance of WebDriver even though you have instantiated WebDriverBackedSelenium,

maybe you can use the WebDriver instance and use

new Actions(driver).keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).keyDown(Keys.F5).keyUp(Keys.CONTROL).keyUp(Keys.F5).perform();

I havent tested this to ascertain that this is working fine, but am guessing that this should work.

Thanks & Regards

You could try:

Actions actionObject = new Actions(driver);

actionObject.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).keyDown(Keys.F5).keyUp(Keys.CONTROL).keyU
p(Keys.F5).perform();

Krishnan,

When I attempt to use the example code, I get the following...what does this mean?

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Key Down / Up events only make sense for modifier keys.

at org.openqa.selenium.interactions.internal.SingleKeyAction.<init>(SingleKeyAction.java:46)

at org.openqa.selenium.interactions.KeyDownAction.<init>(KeyDownAction.java:32)

at org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions.keyDown(Actions.java:98)

at org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions.keyDown(Actions.java:85)

at org.stag.hello.HelloStepDefs.whenStep(HelloStepDefs.java:52)

at ✽.When an action takes place(hello.feature:8)

My Environment:

Firefox 8.0

Linux (Kubuntu) -- 3.0.0-13-generic #22-Ubuntu

Selenium -- 2.14.0

From the error message, I would suspect it doesn't like you to use
keyDown or keyUp with the Keys.F5.

Ctrl is a modifier key but F5 is not. You probably want to use:

actionObject.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys(Keys.F5).keyUp(Keys.CONTROL).perform();

@Krishnan

I too am getting the same error message

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Key Down / Up events only make
sense
for modifier keys.

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Mathew,

Did you try using Darrell's recommendation ?

Hello Everyone,

I need to open print dialogue using selenium webdriver. How can I perform Cntrl + P functionality. There is no link which opens print dialogue

[darrell]

Somesh,

If you have a new topic you should open a new thread. Tacking your question onto the end of thread which is over a month old could cause people to miss your question.

That said, WebDriver allows you to do web browsing. Printing is a system level action. WebDriver does not go outside the web browser window. Even if you could open a print dialogue, WebDriver would halt and wait for something else to close the print dialogue. If you need to test printing then you want to look outside of WebDriver.

use this code:

Actions builder =new Actions(driver);
builder.sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,"P")).perform();
