Highlight elements in WebDriver during runtime

Question

Can someone please help!

How can I highlight all web elements in following class during test execution in WebDriver? With Selenium RC, it was quite straight forward

Answer 1

In webdriver
Create a class for highligh element HighlightElement

HighlightElement.java

import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import com.project.setup.WebDriverManager;

public class HighlightElement {

    public static void highlightElement(WebElement element) {
        for (int i = 0; i <2; i++) {
            JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) WebDriverManager.driver;
            js.executeScript("arguments[0].setAttribute('style', arguments[1]);", element, "color: yellow; border: 2px solid yellow;");
            js.executeScript("arguments[0].setAttribute('style', arguments[1]);", element, "");
            }
        }
}

You can use

HighlightElement.highlightElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath("blaah blaah"));)

to highlight the WebElement with xpath "blaah blaah" in your test.
