Ride hailing with Selenium
Pickup and drop autocomplete with swap, fares per vehicle computed from distance, a promo, then a live ride that moves from searching to completed — with OTP, a cancel fee rule, rating and tip.

Scenarios to automate
Work top to bottom — each one adds a new technique.
- 1
Autocomplete
BeginnerType in pickup-input / drop-input and choose *-option-<place>; the same place can't be both.
- 2
Swap & shortcut
Beginneruse-home fills pickup; swap-locations exchanges both inputs and redraws ride-map.
- 3
Fare maths
Intermediatefare-<vehicle> = base + per-km × distance + per-min × time; check against trip-distance.
- 4
Promo cap
IntermediateFIRSTRIDE halves the fare but caps at ₹75 — fare-payable reflects the cap.
- 5
Live status
Advancedride-status walks through all five stages on a timer — chain text waits, don't sleep.
- 6
Cancel rules
AdvancedCancel before arrival is free; after “Driver arrived” cancel-fee-warning shows ₹30 and cancel-fee records it.
- 7
Moving marker
IntermediateDuring the trip, map-car moves along the route (SVG text element).
- 8
Rate & tip
BeginnerAfter completion pick rate-driver-* and tip-*; trip-total includes the tip.
Sample Selenium suite
A working starting point that finds elements every way Selenium can — by role, label, text, id, name, CSS, XPath and data-testid — so you practice them all. Pick your language, switch to data-testid only to compare, or try your own in the Locator Playground.
