How to write selenium script for taking random alphanumeric number from a list

Question

I need help in selenium script. I need to take random alphanumeric values from my table list. How I can do it in selenium? I want to use

String uniqueID = UUID.randomUUID().toString(); 

This in my selenium script. But I don't know how to use?

Answer 1

As mentioned in my comment, it won't be possible to match the newly generated UUID.randomUUID().toString() with any of the the predefined values within your table list.

However, to generate and send a random number to the Search Box on Google Home Page you can use the following solution:

• Code Block:

  import java.util.UUID;
  
  import org.openqa.selenium.By;
  import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
  import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
  
  public class RandomNumbers_GoogleSearchBox {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
  
          System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
          WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
          driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
          new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.name("q"))).sendKeys(UUID.randomUUID().toString());
      }
  }
