Reliable way to click on WebElement in Selenium Webdriver

Introducing a more robust way to click on the WebElement in situations when the native WebDriver click method doesn't work for some unknown yet obscure and annoying reason. Example of implementation in C# is given below. Probably porting of this code to Java wouldn't take too much time as well. Everything you need is a getter method with a CSS selector, which is automatically converted into Xpath in generateXpath method, and then the click event is triggered using JavaScript evaluate in ClickJS method. Works like a charm, also makes my tests more robust, especially in a multithreaded mode.

Switching between keyboard layouts in Openbox (Arch Linux)

Switching between two (or more) keyboard layouts in Openbox DE is a task that's quite easy to accomplish, although it might not be so obvious as in other desktop environments.

How to control CPU frequency on Linux Fedora 20

Sometimes you need to make CPU run faster or slower, depending on your needs. In Linux you can control this by using different CPU governors. The following steps were tested on Fedora 20, but most likely they would also work on later versions of Linux Fedora OS. sudo yum install kernel-tools Check the available CPU governors: sudo cpupower frequency-info --governors sudo cpupower frequency-set --governor [governor] More information about the governors here: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Power_Management_Guide/cpufreq_governors.html

How to run Jekyll server on Cloud9

So you already have your Cloud9 account and your Jekyll site is in your workspace. Now you want to run the server. It is actually very simple. In a fresh Could9 workspace you only need to execute the following two commands in the terminal window: gem install jekyll jekyll serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 After executing these two commands you can open your site in the browser using the following link: https://[workspacename]-c9-[username].c9.io Important note: Only port 8080 works for me in Cloud9, other ports are closed. Also assigning host to 0.0.0.0 is necessary.
