💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using By.name or By.className when the element has a unique ID.

Using By.tagName which is too broad and may select multiple elements.

The id locator is used to find the element with the exact ID 'searchBox'. This is the most direct and reliable way to locate the input field.

Complete the code to send the text 'Selenium' to the auto-complete input field.

Selenium Java

input.[1]("Selenium");

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using click() instead of sendKeys() to enter text.

Using clear() which only clears the field but does not enter text.

The sendKeys method types the given text into the input field, simulating user input.

hard

Fix the error in the code to wait until the auto-complete suggestions are visible.

Selenium Java

new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.[1](By.className("suggestions")));

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

AinvisibilityOfElementLocated

CelementToBeClickable

DvisibilityOfElementLocated

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using invisibilityOfElementLocated which waits for element to disappear.

Using presenceOfElementLocated which may not guarantee visibility.

The visibilityOfElementLocated condition waits until the element is present and visible on the page, which is needed to interact with the suggestions.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to select the first suggestion from the auto-complete list.

Selenium Java

List<WebElement> suggestions = driver.findElements(By.[1]("suggestion-item"));
suggestions.get([2]).click();

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

AclassName

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using id instead of className when suggestions have a class.

Using index 1 which selects the second suggestion instead of the first.

The suggestions are located by their class name 'suggestion-item'. The first suggestion is at index 0 in the list, so clicking it selects the first option.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to verify the selected suggestion text matches 'Selenium WebDriver'.

Selenium Java

String selectedText = suggestions.get([1]).getText();
assertEquals([2], selectedText, "Suggestion text should be correct");
System.out.println("Selected: " + [3]);

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A0

B"Selenium WebDriver"

CselectedText

D1

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using index 1 which selects the wrong suggestion.

Mixing up expected and actual parameters in assertEquals.

Printing the expected string instead of the selected text variable.

The first suggestion is at index 0. We compare its text to the expected string 'Selenium WebDriver' using assertEquals. Then we print the selected text variable.
