selenium declared package doesn't match expected package

Question

I am leaning selenium. I have trouble to run a sample script. Please help me to figure out what I did wrong. Thanks! My installations: JDK1.7.0._02 selenium-server-standalone-2.31.0.jar Eclipse IDE 3.7.0 Selenium IDE 1.9.0 (Firefox plugin)

Eclipse indicates the following error message when I click on the package section in the code 1.the declared the package org.openqa.selenium.example; doesn't match expected package Seletest1 2. syntax error on token package, imported expected Eclipse also suggested move Test1.java to package 'org.openqa.selenium.example

Please suggest the right action for me to take, should I imported org.openqa.selenium.example into the build path of my project or should I move Test1.java into the package?

where Can I find out the location of the package-org.openqa.selenium.example?

Here is my code copied from Google code get started with Selenium my project structure SeleniumTest1>Src>SeleTet1

package SeleTest1;
package org.openqa.selenium.example;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;

public class Test1 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        // Create a new instance of the html unit driver
        // Notice that the remainder of the code relies on the interface, 
        // not the implementation.
        WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();

        // And now use this to visit Google
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");

        // Find the text input element by its name
        WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));

        // Enter something to search for
        element.sendKeys("Cheese!");

        // Now submit the form. WebDriver will find the form for us from the element
        element.submit();

        // Check the title of the page
        System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
    }

}

The error message showed when I execute the code When I run the code in Eclipse, I received the following error message: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: The method sendKeys(CharSequence[]) in the type WebElement is not applicable for the arguments (String)

Answer 1

You have a duplicate package declaration on the top of your code. I would remove the second one ( org.openqa.selenium.example ) since your code is probably in the SeleTest1 folder.

Your package declaration is not required to match the one of the framework you are using.

Answer 2

When you export the selenmium IDE recorded test case into webdriver format, by default the package statement will get added as

package org.openqa.selenium.example;

We need to modify it as per our package name created in Eclipse.

So, in your case, you can remove the below duplicate line.

package org.openqa.selenium.example;

You will not get the 2nd error also once you have done this modification.
