Selenium Automation Test Case for Google Search

package com.test.webdriver;

import static org.junit.Assert.fail;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class TestExample {
  private WebDriver driver;
  private String baseUrl;
  private StringBuffer verificationErrors = new StringBuffer();

  @Before
  public void setUp() throws Exception {
    driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    baseUrl = "http://www.google.com";
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
  }

  @Test
  public void testExample() throws Exception {
        driver.get(baseUrl + "/webhp?tab=ww&ei=PaDQU4j6N4-QuATW2oB4&ved=0CBMQ1S4");
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("id=gbqfq")).sendKeys("Test");
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("id=gbqfba")).click();
  }

  @After
  public void tearDown() throws Exception {
    driver.quit();
    String verificationErrorString = verificationErrors.toString();
    if (!"".equals(verificationErrorString)) {
      fail(verificationErrorString);
    }
  }
}

Can someone please tell me why the above code is not working? I am running the above quote in eclipse and getting bellow errors

Eclipse Version: 3.7.1 Firefox Version : 30

First, your xpath is incorrect, and the button you're trying to click is no more displayed, once you type something inside the textbox.

This will work, 

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='gbqfq']")).sendKeys("Test"); 
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='gbqfb']/span")).click();

You're using incorrect path of a different button. Why?

bcoz, when you type something in google, the button you tried to click(Google button) will get disappeared, and totally a new page will come(you can notice that the textbox moves to the top right, and a blue search icon will appear).

So please notice what is happenning in the application, and then try to automate it.

Hi this should be working now I've left some comments in the Comment block Cheers.. Hope this helps see links that might help with locators

import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class TestExample {
private WebDriver driver;
private String baseUrl;
private StringBuffer verificationErrors = new StringBuffer();

  @Before
  public void setUp() throws Exception {
  driver = new FirefoxDriver();
  baseUrl = "http://www.google.com";
  driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);}

  @Test
  public void testExample() throws Exception {
    driver.get(baseUrl + "/webhp?tab=ww&ei=PaDQU4j6N4-QuATW2oB4&ved=0CBMQ1S4");
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='gbqfq']")).sendKeys("Test");

    /**Comment 
    The element with id "gbqfba" becomes invisble as page nagivates to results/ suggestion page
    instead a button with id "gbqfb" becomes available to click to submit
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='gbqfba']")).click(); */

    //I decided to submit whatever is entered into the SearchField here and everything passes
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='gbqfq']")).submit();

    }

   @After
  public void tearDown() throws Exception {
  driver.quit();
  String verificationErrorString = verificationErrors.toString();
  if (!"".equals(verificationErrorString)) {
  fail(verificationErrorString);
  }
}

Your xpath is invalid.Try:

"//*[@id='gbqfba']"

Most browsers will allow you to test Xpath.

Alternatively, the css selector would be;

"#gbqfba"

Or Selenium also allows you to find by id;

"gbqfba"

Personally I prefer the CSS selector. Any reason you have chosen XPath?
