Cheatsheet for Effective ways to use XPath in Selenium

By
XPath in Selenium:

  • XPath is a technique in Selenium to navigate through the HTML structure of a page. 
  • XPath enables testers to navigate through the XML structure of any document, and this can be used on both HTML and XML documents.
When to use XPath:
  • while the locators in Selenium are not enough to search elements using tags or CSS class names, then we use XPath to find the elements or to traverse the element

Benefits of XPath:
  • XPath provides an option to dynamically search for an element within a web page, thus giving sufficient flexibility to tweak a locator to one’s advantage.
Types of XPaths in Selenium:
  • Absolute Path/single slash search
    • simple but most vulnerable to minor changes in the structure of the page
    • Example: /html/body/form/p[3]/input
  • Relative Path/double slash search
    • begins with double slashes
    • Example: //form/p[3]

Merge/join two or more video files using Python

By
Using Pyhton, we can easily add two or more videos files easily. We just need to use the moviepy package. Once we import that package, we can ean use the methods or functions to add movie files. Here, in this tutorial, we joined/merged two video files. But it is not limited to add only two video files. We can add multiple video files using the same program with the change of no of files expressions. Just import all the movie files and then join using the same concept. from moviepy.editor import * # load clips clip_01 = VideoFileClip('nature.mp4') clip_02 = VideoFileClip('rain.mp4') # join + write result_clip = concatenate_videoclips([clip_01, clip_02]) result_clip.write_videofile('combined.mp4') Here, in this program we imported the moviepy package. Later, we loaded two video files. If you want to add multiple video files, just import all of them. Finally, we concatenate by using the method concatenate_videoclips() and we saved it in the directory locat...
