com.codeborne.selenide.Selenide [src][javadoc]

The main class for using Selenide library. The basic methods areopen,$and$$(import static com.codeborne.selenide.Selenide.* for readability):

• open(String URL) opens the browser
• $(String cssSelector) defines CSS locator, returns SelenideElement
• $(By) defines any other locator (id, name, text, xpath etc.) - returns SelenideElement
• $$(String cssSelector) defines CSS locator, returns collection of elements
• $$(By) returns collection of elements

Defining SelenideElement doesn’t trigger the search in DOM yet, so you can save the locators in variables for later use at any place. With a SelenideElement instance, you can either do action with it (click,setValueetc.) or check a condition:shouldHave(text("abc")). Both will trigger the search of the elements in DOM.

There is also a number of other less frequently used methods in Selenide class: sleep(), refresh() and title().
