This is to get browser name and browser version with Selenium Web driver. This will return browser name and version name like Firefox 29, Internet Explorer 08, Chrome 35.
This is done with javascript and selenium web driver to display the version number. OSDetector returns Operating system name for Windows, MAC, Linux and Solaris.

public class BrowserVersion {

String browsername = cap.getBrowserName();
// This block to find out IE Version number
if (“internet explorer”.equalsIgnoreCase(browsername)) {
String uAgent = (String) ((JavascriptExecutor) browserDriver).executeScript(“return navigator.userAgent;”);
System.out.println(uAgent);
//uAgent return as “MSIE 8.0 Windows” for IE8
if (uAgent.contains(“MSIE”) && uAgent.contains(“Windows”)) {
browser_version = uAgent.substring(uAgent.indexOf(“MSIE”)+5, uAgent.indexOf(“Windows”)-2);
} else if (uAgent.contains(“Trident/7.0”)) {
browser_version = “11.0”;
} else {
browser_version = “0.0”;
}
} else
{
//Browser version for Firefox and Chrome
browser_version = cap.getVersion();// .split(“.”)[0];
}
String browserversion = browser_version.substring(0, browser_version.indexOf(“.”));
return browsername + ” ” + browserversion;
}
public static String OSDetector () {
String os = System.getProperty(“os.name”).toLowerCase();
if (os.contains(“win”)) {
return “Windows”;
} else if (os.contains(“nux”) || os.contains(“nix”)) {
return “Linux”;
}else if (os.contains(“mac”)) {
return “Mac”;
}else if (os.contains(“sunos”)) {
return “Solaris”;
}else {
return “Other”;
}
}
}
The Os Detection will be incorrect if you run Grid/Cloud based execution
Can you please add support for Edge browser to getBrowserAndVersion()?
Thanks,
Use simple code for getting browser version
C# selenium -:ICapabilities capabilities = ((RemoteWebDriver)driver).Capabilities;
strBrowserVersion = capabilities.Version.ToString();
if (strBrowserVersion == "")
{
strBrowserVersion = capabilities.GetCapability("browserVersion").ToString();
}
When I declare “private static WebDriver browserDriver;”.It’s giving null pointer exception in “Capabilities cap = ((RemoteWebDriver) browserDriver).getCapabilities()” this line.When I debug the code the browserDriver is showing as null.That’s why it is giving that exception.Can anyOne help me?
