Selenide Automation Skill

Core Patterns

Basic Test

import com.codeborne.selenide.*;
import static com.codeborne.selenide.Selenide.*;
import static com.codeborne.selenide.Condition.*;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

class LoginTest {
    @Test
    void loginWithValidCredentials() {
        open("/login");
        $("#email").setValue("user@test.com");
        $("#password").setValue("password123");
        $("button[type='submit']").click();
        $(".dashboard").shouldBe(visible);
        $(".welcome").shouldHave(text("Welcome"));
    }

    @Test
    void loginShowsError() {
        open("/login");
        $("#email").setValue("wrong@test.com");
        $("#password").setValue("wrong");
        $("button[type='submit']").click();
        $(".error").shouldBe(visible).shouldHave(text("Invalid"));
    }
}

Selectors

$("css-selector")                     // CSS
$(byText("Login"))                    // Exact text
$(withText("Welc"))                   // Contains text
$(byId("email"))                      // By ID
$(byName("password"))                 // By name
$(byXpath("//button"))                // XPath (avoid)
$("[data-testid='login-btn']")        // data attribute (best)

// Collections
$("li").shouldHave(size(5));
$("li").first().shouldHave(text("Item 1"));
$("li").filterBy(text("Active")).shouldHave(size(2));

Conditions

element.shouldBe(visible);
element.shouldBe(hidden);
element.shouldBe(enabled);
element.shouldBe(disabled);
element.shouldHave(text("expected"));
element.shouldHave(exactText("Exact Match"));
element.shouldHave(value("input value"));
element.shouldHave(attribute("href", "/link"));
element.shouldHave(cssClass("active"));
element.shouldNot(exist);
