XYZ CODE: How to automatically update blogger page with selenium driver

<Back

You can use selenium driver to automatically update your blogger page.

Step 1. create a new default maven project

Step 2. change the default maven project's pom.xml, add the selenium dependencies.

The maven pom.xml is the following:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

<groupId>blogger</groupId>

<artifactId>bloger-updater</artifactId>

<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

<name>bloger-updater</name>

<url>http://maven.apache.org</url>

<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>

</properties>

<groupId>junit</groupId>

<artifactId>junit</artifactId>

</dependency>

<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>

</dependency>

<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

<artifactId>selenium-chrome-driver</artifactId>

</dependency>

<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

<artifactId>htmlunit-driver</artifactId>

</dependency>

<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

<artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>

</dependency>

</dependencies>

</project>

Step 3. drop the following code into your java folder, replace those Change_ME.

The automation code is the following.

Basically, you login google account, then edit your post then submit. Selenium driver will drive a local firefox browser to do these automatically.

package blogger.bloger_updater;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedCondition;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

public class BloggerTestPageUpdater {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Create a new instance of the Firefox driver

// Notice that the remainder of the code relies on the interface,

// not the implementation.

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

//System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/Users/homenetwork/Downloads/chromedriver");

//WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

//Launch the Online Store Website

driver.get("http://www.gmail.com");

// Print a Log In message to the screen

System.out.println("Successfully opened the website gmail.com");

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

//Maximize window

driver.manage().window().maximize();

//Enter Username

driver.findElement(By.id("Email")).sendKeys("Change_ME");

//Click on Next

driver.findElement(By.id("next")).click();

// Wait For Page To Load

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

//Enter Password

driver.findElement(By.id("Passwd")).sendKeys("Change_ME");

// Click on 'Sign In' button

driver.findElement(By.id("signIn")).click();

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

driver.navigate().to("https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=Change_ME#editor/target=post;postID=Change_ME");

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

//WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("postingComposeBox"));

WebElement iframe = driver.findElement(By.id("postingComposeBox"));

driver.switchTo().frame(iframe);

WebElement description = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body"));

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].innerHTML = '<p>from selenium driver</p>'", description);

driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(.,'Update')]")).click();

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

driver.navigate().to("http://xyzcode.blogspot.com/2016/04/test-page.html");

//Close the browser

//driver.quit();

}

step 4. right click the project, select run as maven install

step 5. right click BloggerTestPageUpdater.java, select run as Java Application

The following page then get updated
