How to use Javascript in Selenium in Java

I found out that JavaScript is not working at all in my Selenium Tests in Java. I do not know why. Any suggestions?

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return arguments[0].innerText", driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[id$=main:domainsCounter]")));

The javascript works fine in the console of the browser.

in console of browser

  • Finally I found that is is possible and necessary to set options. Like this:

    ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
FirefoxOptions firefoxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
EdgeOptions edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("--enable-javascript");
firefoxOptions.addArguments("--enable-javascript");
edgeOptions.addArguments("--enable-javascript");
try {
    chromeDriver = new RemoteWebDriver(
                new URL(getRemoteWebDriverUrl()),
                chromeOptions);
    firefoxDriver = new RemoteWebDriver(
                new URL(getRemoteWebDriverUrl()),
                firefoxOptions);
    edgeDriver = new RemoteWebDriver(
                new URL(getRemoteWebDriverUrl()),
                edgeOptions);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
    LOGGER.error("Test failed because url is wrong ", e);
}
