4. Click on upload photo

Answer 1

yes i agree with Saifur writing selenium scripts for facebook or google would be very difficult for beginners but the fact is both facebook and google are using selenium for testing...

To click on upload button u can use the below javascript

JavascriptExecutor js=(JavascriptExecutor) driver;

js.executeScript("document.getElementsByClassName('_156p')[0].click();");

I checked with some attempts and refreshes the classname was not changing...If u feel the classname is changing and if u want your script to be more robust u can try javascript below here we take all the div elements into an array an iterate through it and get the innerHTML of all the divs if the innerHTML is equal to "Update Profile Picture" we click on it....

var stringToMatch = "Update Profile Picture";
var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
for (var i = 0; i < divs.length; i++) {
  if (divs[i].innerText == stringToMatch) {
  divs[i].click();
  } 
}

Hope this helps...Kindly get back if you have any queries
