Fear not.. I am not going to put you to sleep by “blowing my own trumpet” or narrating to you how I managed to bend the rainbow or build a bridge to Heaven and what not… π
I am this “yet” another guy on the internet who is blogging technical posts, not for the sake of it, or for the sake of seeking publicity, but with an intention of doing whatever I can, to share what I have learnt with others, who might have been looking for information, just like me on the net.
If you find things useful, let me know.. If you feel my posts suck or bore you to death, feel free to navigate away…
And yes, I am a person who is aspiring on two things to be done…
1. Be called as an Automation Architect some day..
2. See my name in one of the commits on the “Selenium” codebase !!
Someday, I hope to achieve both these !
Until then, I will continue to share what I know.. here… !
Oh btw, if you have any queries or doubts related to any of the posts, I would strongly encourage you to post it as a query on either the TestNG or the Selenium Google forums. I pretty much view all the mails there. I don’t frequent the blog site that often unless and until I am writing up a new post (which you can see has also become very rare these days….).
Misadventures of a castaway coder! 
All the best buddy!
You will… π
Posted by savita | January 24, 2012, 1:59 pmThank you Savita… Am eagerly awaiting that day as well π
Posted by Confusions Personified | January 24, 2012, 2:02 pmAll the best..I know content on your blog will definitely help others in future.
Let me be the first one to subscribe to your blog. π
Posted by Gulshan Saini | January 24, 2012, 2:30 pmThanks Gulshan. Lets hope that it does serve the purpose for which I decided to start it π
Posted by Confusions Personified | January 24, 2012, 2:34 pmKrishnan – I am really struggling with TestNg Listeners. Can you please post a tutorial on same? It will be very helpful. I have searched on web and could not find one. The documentation on testng website is not enough to understand how to implement listeners. If you know any good link that can help me understand, that will also work.
Posted by Gulshan Saini | January 27, 2012, 6:20 pmThathasthu is the Sanskrit word π Check I managed to put something out there for you. Hope that helps!

Posted by N sreekumar | May 19, 2014, 8:53 pmYou should post questions on the selenium-users google forums where you stand the chance of getting an instant reply.

I would be eager to know how to deploy custom servlets to extend both Hub and Nodes into Selenium Grid; I am using Selenium Grid βselenium-server-standalone-3.5.3β. I would be very thankful if you let me know the exact packaging (the directory structure) and deployment process; I want to extend some functionalities of Nodes and Hub in order to meet my requirements.

I have a question.
Iβm getting Error: Could not find or load main class org.testng.TestNG with selenium-server-standalone-3.9.1.jar
But the same works fine with selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0.
Do you have any idea on this?
Thank,
Senthil

Posted by Babu | March 17, 2018, 9:49 pmHi, I need to fetch chrome console(dev tool) data.

}
I am using this code with DesiredCapabilities but I get a message with around 78 character which is some icon and rest data for truncated. Is there a way to get the full message? appreciate your help.
