Selenium: How do I get the src of an image?

Question

I\'m using Selenium (within PHPUnit) to test my web application. I would like to test whether a certain image which is present on the page really exists. More precisely, whe

Answer 1

Well, in chrome one can write code in java to get the list of image src

import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;


public class imageUrl {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

                //Create Driver-object for chrome browser
                System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","//Users//admin//Desktop//chromedriver");
                WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

                //get the page
                driver.get("https://jet.com/");

                // this will find the elements by tag name. Don't forget to write "WebElement" after List.
                //or else it will give an error on the for loop

                List<WebElement>links=driver.findElements(By.tagName("img"));

                // this will display list of all images exist on page
                for(WebElement ele:links){
                    System.out.println(ele.getAttribute("src"));
                }
    }

}

Answer 2

use xPath, for example

//img[@src='The image src']

but unfortunately i am not sure that it is a good way to test if image was loaded

Answer 3

Assuming that you have an image in a WebElement (lets say img), in Java world you can retrieve the link below

Editing the answer to clarify. By Java world I mean Selenium 2.0 Java bindings. In Selenium 2.0 (of course if you are using webdriver) has a class called WebElement representing elements on the page. getAttribute is a selenium Method in Java binding.

String url = "http://www.my.website.com";
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get(url);
WebElement img = driver.findElement(By.id("foo"));
String src = img.getAttribute("src");

Perhaps there is something similar in PHPUnit
