Hey Guys,
suppose I have following HTML

<ul>
   <li>Test 1</li>
   <li>Test 2</li>
   <li>Test 3</li>
</ul>

i want to click random item (test 1 or test 2 or test 3)
please give any solution for that.

can I store those all “li” tag as a TestObject into array list?

Assuming that you already have a Test Object that identifies all of the <li> elements:

List<WebElement> elements = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElements(myTestObject, 30);
WebElement randomElement = elements.get(new Random().nextInt(elements.size()));
randomElement.click();

You just need to import some classes. Press ctrl + shift + o on your keyboard.

You need to write an import statement for WebElement class in the header part of your test case script. That is:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

The javadoc of this class is published here:

How can I find the fully qualified class name?

Either of the followings:

  1. Try searching pages for WebElement, or
  2. Press Ctrl + Shiift + o, as @Brandon_Hein suggested. KS knows what WebElement is so that it will resolve the fully qualified class name for you.
