Selenium v1 means use java package com.thoughtworks.selenium to call/test csv, run Selenium,
Selenium v3 means use java package org.seleniumhq.selenium, support Remote Selenium WebDriver
Later will explain how to difference for starting.
These 2 different selenium versions also support different browser versions, e.g. Firefox
Tested in selenium v1 on FFv3, and selenium v2 on FFv63
Here will compare this two different selenium typical commands usage:
#Open
Sele1:
Selenium.open(url);
Sele3:
Webdriver.get(url);
#TYPE
Sele1:
Selenium.type(element,value);
Sele3:
WebElement.sendKeys(value);
#CLICK
Sele1:
Selenium.click(element);
Sele3:
WebElement.click();
#WAIT
Sele1:
Selenium.waitForPageToLoad(timeout);
Sele3:
long waitSeconds=...; try { Thread.sleep(waitSeconds); }catch(InterruptedException e){ e.printStackTrace(); }
#CLICKAT
Sele1:
Selenium.clickAt(element,posString);
Sele3:
WebDriver driver...; Actions builder = new Actions(driver); builder.moveToElement(element, 0, 0).click().build().perform();
#SELECT
Sele1:
Selenium.select(element,value);
Sele3:
WebElement.click();
#KEYPRESS
Sele1:
Selenium.keyPress(element,value);
Sele3:
WebDriver driver..;. Actions action = new Actions(driver); action.sendKeys(value);
#ASSERTTEXTPRESENT
Sele2:
Selenium.isTextPresent(element);
Sele3:
WebDriver.getPageSource().contains(element);
Actually, there are still many commands need to migrate, such as selectAndwait,check,typefilename,AssertElementPresent…
can combine implemented above Sele3 commands, others e.g. WindowFocus,OpenWindow etc, we can use JavascriptExecutor to implement or specially handle for Actions class.
