Hi Uma,

We can implement UI automation for the Lightning component using Selenium Web Driver. You can avoid using Id’s to locate the Web Elements. Below are the list of Xpath’s which could be useful:

If you are trying to perform a “sendkeys” action on the leads page, you can follow similar XPath Locators that I’ve created for my project:

By.xpath(“//fieldset[contains(@class,’uiInput’)]//span[contains(text(),’Last Name’)]/following::input[1]”);

By.xpath(“//*[contains(@class,’inputLabel’)]//span[contains(text(),’Phone’)]/following::input[1]”);

By.xpath(“//*[contains(@class,’inputLabel’)]//span[contains(text(),’Email’)]/following::input[1]”);

By.xpath(“//div[contains(@class,’forceInputPicklist’)]//span[contains(text(), ‘Lead Source’)]/following::a[1]”);

If you follow this dynamic XPath pattern, you will never have to use dynamic @id tags used for Lightning.

I am new to lightning testing services. I came across to a scenario where I have to write LTS for onblur event which is present in tag and when onblur is called, it will invoke a controller method.

Can you please help we this scenario.

Thanks,
Vishal

Nice and informative article..
What is your view on automated testing with Selenium in Lightning. I have seen your videos on Selenium testing in classic. Have you had any luck with using Selenium to test lightning pages. For eg: Creation of account to make it simple. Due to the fact that ids are generated dynamically Selenium is not able to find the target. Any ideas to overcome this issue?

Thanks
Uma
