Go HTTP Proxy Server

Shared proxies should be understood as IPs and port numbers available to everyone. That is, many users can use them simultaneously. The most unreliable and slowest option.

If you're facing issues where Selenium WebDriver (using JUnit) is not able to locate elements that were detectable by Selenium IDE, there could be a few reasons for this discrepancy. Here are some common troubleshooting steps:

1. Timing Issues

Selenium WebDriver might execute commands faster than Selenium IDE, leading to timing issues. Add explicit waits in your WebDriver script to ensure that the elements are present or visible before interacting with them.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

// ...

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);

// Example: Wait for an element to be clickable
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("yourElementId")));
element.click();

2. Different Browser Profiles

Selenium IDE may use a different browser profile or settings compared to your WebDriver script. Ensure that the browser profile and settings are consistent.

3. Synchronization Issues

Elements might not be fully loaded or rendered when WebDriver tries to locate them. Add proper synchronization mechanisms to wait for the page to be ready.

4. Browser Window Size

Ensure that the browser window size in Selenium WebDriver is suitable for the elements to be visible. Use the manage().window().maximize() method to maximize the browser window.

driver.manage().window().maximize();

5. JavaScript Execution

Selenium IDE may execute JavaScript differently than WebDriver. If your website relies heavily on JavaScript, ensure that WebDriver handles JavaScript appropriately.

6. Switching to Iframes

If the elements are inside iframes, make sure to switch to the correct iframe using driver.switchTo().frame() before interacting with the elements.

7. Browser Console Logs

Check the browser console logs for any error messages or warnings that might indicate issues with JavaScript or other resources.

System.out.println(driver.manage().logs().get("browser").getAll());

8. CSS Selectors and XPath

Selenium IDE may use different selectors than your WebDriver script. Double-check the selectors (CSS or XPath) used in your WebDriver script.

9. Browser Extensions

Selenium IDE may have browser extensions installed that affect the behavior of the web page. Ensure that WebDriver runs in an environment that mimics the configuration used by Selenium IDE.

10. Headless Mode

If Selenium IDE is running in headless mode, try running your WebDriver script in headless mode as well to replicate the environment.

If the issue persists after considering these points, you may want to inspect the HTML source of the page and compare it with the recorded script in Selenium IDE to identify any differences.

In Selenium Python, you can use the send_keys method to simulate typing keys into an input field. To press keys correctly, you can use the Keys enumeration provided by the selenium.webdriver.common.keys module. Here's an example of how to use the send_keys method to press keys in Selenium Python:

Install the required package:

pip install selenium

Create a method to press keys in an input field:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

def press_keys(driver, locator, keys_to_press):
    element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located(locator))
    element.clear()
    element.send_keys(keys_to_press)
    element.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

Use the press_keys method in your test code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

# Set up the WebDriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.maximize_window()

# Navigate to the target web page
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

# Locate the input field
locator = (By.ID, "username")

# Press keys in the input field
press_keys(driver, locator, "your_username")

# Perform any additional actions as needed

# Close the browser
driver.quit()

In this example, we first create a method called press_keys that takes a driver instance, a locator tuple containing the locator strategy and locator value, and a keys_to_press string containing the keys to press. Inside the method, we use the WebDriverWait class to wait for the element to become visible and then clear the input field, send the keys to press, and simulate pressing the Enter key using the Keys.RETURN enumeration value.

In the test code, we set up the WebDriver, navigate to the target web page, and locate the input field using the locator variable. We then call the press_keys method with the driver, locator, and "your_username" as input. After pressing the keys, you can perform any additional actions as needed.

Remember to replace "https://www.example.com", "username", and "your_username" with the actual URL, input field ID or name, and the text you want to type into the input field.

First you should check if its characteristics are correct. Some proxy servers are just IP address and port number, others use so called "connection script". You need to double-check that the data was entered correctly.

Proxies in Instagram are most often used for two purposes. The first is to bypass access blocking. The second is to avoid being banned when working with several accounts at once. The latter, as a rule, is used when arbitrating traffic, when launching massive advertising campaigns, which allows you not to worry about possibly getting a permanent ban.
