Selenium - Override javascript functions to ignore downloading process

I have got an issue with downloading process on IE 8. This browser blocks my automatic-download functionality on my app so that I could not work with my test case any more after that. In my case, I didn't care about the file is downloaded or not, I just focus on the result after downloading process finished successfully. Therefore, I found a solution to ignore this process so that I can work normally.

I use Primefaces, here is the remote command to trigger the download process

<p:remoteCommand name="cmdGenerateDocument" actionListener="#{logic.onGenerateDocument}" update="xrflDocumentCreationPanel" oncomplete="clickDownloadButton();"/>

The following is my test case:
@Test
 public void shouldUpdateStep6ToWarningIfStep1IsValidAfterFinished(){
  MainPage mainPage = new MainPage();
  waitForLoading(mainPage.getDriver());
  
  EmployeeDetailPage empDetailPage = new EmployeeDetailPage();
  waitForLoading(empDetailPage.getDriver());
  empDetailPage.fillDataForAllFields();
  
  mainPage.clickNext();
  waitForLoading(mainPage.getDriver());
  
  mainPage.clickNext();//move to step 3
  waitForLoading(mainPage.getDriver());
  
  mainPage.clickNext();//move to step 4
  waitForLoading(mainPage.getDriver());
  
  mainPage.clickNext();//move to step 5
  waitForLoading(mainPage.getDriver());
  
  //avoid issue with download automatically on IE8
  mainPage.ignoreDownloadProcess(); 
  
  mainPage.clickNext();//move to step 6
  waitForLoading(mainPage.getDriver());
  
  mainPage.jumpToEmployeeDetailTab();
  waitForLoading(mainPage.getDriver());
  
  empDetailPage.setEmptySalutaion();
  waitForLoading(mainPage.getDriver());
  
  mainPage.jumpToDocumentCreationTab();
  waitForLoading(mainPage.getDriver());
  
  assertTrue(mainPage.isRequriedFinishedAllStepsMessageShown());
  assertTrue(mainPage.isRequriedMessageShownOnStep1());
  assertTrue(mainPage.isStep6Warning());
 }

The content of function "ingnoreDowloadProcess()"
public void ignoreDownloadProcess() {
  String script = "clickDownloadButton = function(){};";
 ((JavascriptExecutor) getDriver()).executeScript(script);
}

[Snippet] CSS - Child element overlap parent

I searched from somewhere and found that a lot of people says a basic concept for implementing this feature looks like below: HTML code: <div id="parent">  <div id="child">  </div> </div> And, CSS: #parent{   position: relative;   overflow:hidden; } #child{   position: absolute;   top: -1;   right: -1px; } However, I had a lot of grand-parents in my case and the above code didn't work. Therefore, I needed an alternative. I presumed that my app uses Boostrap and AngularJs, maybe some CSS from them affects mine. I didn't know exactly the problem, but I believed when all CSS is loaded into my browser, I could completely handle it. www.tom-collinson.com I tried to create an example to investigated this problem by Fiddle . Accidentally, I just changed: position: parent; to position: static; for one of parents -> the problem is solved. Look at my code: <div class="modal-body dn-placeholder-parent-positi...

The HelloWorld example of JSF 2.2 with Myfaces

I just did by myself create a very simple app "HelloWorld" of JSF 2.2 with a concrete implementation Myfaces that we can use it later on for our further JSF trying out. I attached the source code link at the end part. Just follow these steps below: 1. Create a Maven project in Eclipse (Kepler) with a simple Java web application archetype "maven-archetype-webapp". Maven should be the best choice for managing the dependencies , so far. JSF is a web framework that is the reason why I chose the mentioned archetype for my example. 2. Import dependencies for JSF implementation - Myfaces (v2.2.10) into file pom.xml . The following code that is easy to find from  http://mvnrepository.com/  with key words "myfaces". <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId> <artifactId>myfaces-api</artifactId> <version>2.2.10</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core<...

Selenium - Use Explicit Waits for checking elements quickly disappear like loading icon

I have a table that is displayed a list of competence groups. When I click on a competence group, it will display a table that contains a lot of criteria belong to the competence group. Each times I click on a competence group, a "loading" icon is displayed while waiting for all criteria is fully displayed. <div id="loading" style="display: none;"> <div></div> <div></div> I tried to write a Selenium test to make sure this behavior is covered. I saw that the loading icon element is always available on DOM tree because I just used Jquery to handle its displaying. Beside that, the loading icon is appeared dynamically and quickly disappear afterwards. It is hard to checking the visibility on GUI of loading icon. By normal way that I frequently used, the code looks like: public boolean isLoadingIconDisplayed() { List<WebElement> loadingIcons = driver.findElements(By.id("loading")); if(!loadingIcons.isE...

DevOps for Dummies

Everyone talks about it, but not everyone knows what it is. Why DevOps? In general, whenever an organization adopts any new technology, methodology, or approach, that adoption has to be driven by a business need. Any kind of system that need rapid delivery of innovation requires DevOps (development and operations). Why? DevOps requires mechanisms to get fast feedback from all the stakeholders in the software application that's being delivered. DevOps approaches to reduce waste and rework and to shift resources to higher-value activities. DevOps aims to deliver value (of organization or project) faster and more efficiently. DevOps Capabilities The capabilities that make up DevOps are a broad set that span the software delivery life cycle. The following picture is a reference architecture which provides a template of a proven solution by using a set of preferred methods and capabilities. My Remarks Okay, that sounds cool. What does it simply mean, again? The f...
