I am working on new application in which I need to make demo for client using TestNG. The flow is simple where I have to compare few values on webpage with excel sheet. The problem I am facing is that the application is in Japanese. When I use getText() for any element, it prints either 'null' or '??????'. But when the any element isin English, then its working fine. Is there any way to get text of element in a string which is in Japanese language?

Its not issue with selenium. Its something to do with eclipse encoding.

Hi,

I have tried this again. Set the encoding to UTF-8, but still getting '??????' through getText. I have also observed that this happens only in TestNG flows. I had couple flows I scripted for practice without using TestNG, and Japanese letters are getting dispalyed in that code. Encoding is set to UTF-8 in that case as well.

Try using latest version of TestNG
