How to add Coded Ignore Regions dynamically in Applitools

There is a special feature in in Applitools Eyes that's called "coded ignore regions" to handle dynamic data. It's often used in Strict mode to increase test coverage if you don't want to switch to Layout mode. You can add coded ignore regions to the screenshot like this: target = target.ignore(By.id('reg1')).ignore(By.id('reg2')).ignore(By.id('reg3'));

But what if these elements are created dynamically and you don't know how many of them will appear on the page? There could be 5 elements, or maybe 100... You cannot just add them in a chain by modifying a target like that. The answer is - you have to count them first and then add them in a loop. You can see the complete solution below for JavaScript.

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

Using querySelector in Selenium WebDriver

Sometimes it's very helpful if we are able to click some element directly, by calling JavaScript click event. For example, this can be the case when the element is not visible, or not clickable, thus we cannot use native WebDriver methods. WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver; js.executeScript("document.querySelector('.pane .object_options .dropdown-toggle span').click();");
