Modifying a Windows registry value from Selenium WebDriver

The WindowsUtils class also provides methods to update existing Windows registry values or create new registry keys and values. Similar to reading registry values, WindowsUtils class provides multiple methods to modify keys and values.

In this recipe, we will use the WindowsUtils class to create a new registry key with a string value.

How to do it...

Use the writeStringRegistryValue() method for modifying existing Windows registry value or creating a new key and value represented as a string.

WindowsUtils.writeStringRegistryValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Selenium\\SeleniumVersion", "2.24");
assertEquals("2.24",WindowsUtils.readStringRegistryValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Selenium\\SeleniumVersion")); 

How it works...

When the writeStringRegistryValue() method is executed along with the path, a new registry key will be created in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE with Selenium and a new value will be stored in SeleniumVersion.
