In my application I need a way to clear only the cache of the chrome browser before log out (except cookies – I do not want to delete cookies).
Can any one suggest me a way to click on the CLEAR DATA button in chrome.
I have written the below code but the code is not working.
Configuration :
Chrome Version: Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Selenium Version: 3.11.0
//Clear the cache for the ChromeDriver instance.
driver.get("chrome://settings/clearBrowserData");
Thread.sleep(10000);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='clearBrowsingDataConfirm']")).click();
Best Answer
You are using here
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='clearBrowsingDataConfirm']")).click();
Unfortunately, this won’t work because the Chrome settings page uses Polymer and WebComponents, need to use query selector using the /deep/ combinator, so selector in this case is
* /deep/ #clearBrowsingDataConfirm
.Here is workaround to your problem...you can achieve the same using either one of the following...
