Notes: Selenium 3, the Spec, and Onwards by Simon Stewart Title : Selenium 3, the Spec, and Onwards Speaker : Simon Stewart, Selenium Project Lead Host : Applitools Date : Wed. May 25, 2016 @ 1:00 PM EDT Duration : 60 minutes Summing up Simon's Webinar: Selenium 3 ( no release date given ) will be a removal of all old Selenium RC code into a legacy library called "leg-RC". Selenium 4 will move closer to the new W3C WebDriver Protocol they have been pushing for. Selenium 5 will be the full W3C WebDriver. Before that information was given at the end of the talk, Simon took a long walk down Memory Lane... How Selenium Started Jason Huggins (  @hugs  ) at the consulting company, ThoughtWorks, was in Tech Support working on a new web application to track time and expenses. Jason would fix one bug only to have it appear in another browser. He saw Ward Cunningham FIT ( Framework for Integrated Test ). Jason took this idea and realized that all browsers handled HT...

Problem:  Unable to install npm behind the proxy Solution:   Similar to what we did when we installed git  http://go-gaga-over-testing.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/setup-github-within-companys-firewall.html  behind a company's firewall we shall edit the config settings for Node The best way to install npm is to install node using  the node.js installer .  npm is installed as part of node. The problem occurs when you clone the Node repository from  Github npm uses a configuration file and it can be added to via the command line npm config set ... To get packages behind a proxy npm config set strict-ssl false npm config set registry "http://registry.npmjs.org/" npm config set proxy http://"username:password"@proxy:8080 npm config set https-proxy http://proxy-server-address:8080  Update:  Try changing to npm config set registry "http s ://registry.npmjs.org/" Update: You can skip the username password and just ha...

For anyone who is interested: http://lp.applitools.com/selenium3/ In 2016, the Selenium Project is working hard to (finally!) ship 3.0. Join Simon Stewart on May 25, and discover: What will this release contain What impact will it have on your test runs How can you preserve your existing investment in tests using the Selenium WebDriver APIs, and your even older RC tests Looking forward, when will the W3C spec be complete And what can we expect from Selenium 4 Speaker: Simon Stewart At ThoughtWorks, Simon invented WebDriver. At Google, he became the lead of the Selenium project and built the infrastructure required to run millions of browser-based tests every day. At Facebook, Simon advocated for a monorepo, setup the mobile end-to-end testing frameworks, and lead the Buck build tool team, all of which helped slash the time from code to release.

Purpose Command Run all tests mvn test Run using testng verify mvn verify Run the allure reports mvn site Run a single maven test within a class mvn -Dtest=TestObjects#ostiariusAddUserWithCancel test where "TestObjects" is the test class name and "ostiariusAddUserWithCancel" is the test method.

Problem:   Endless loading screen when open Allure report using Chrome / Internet explorer browser This means that report data failed to load.  Possible solutions: When opening the report from the local file, either open it in Firefox or launch Chrome with the   --allow-file-access-from-files  flag. For other browsers, you need to enable cross-origin requests to local files. Windows Exit any running-instance of chrome. Find the shortcut you normally use to launch chrome. Create a copy of it Right click on the new shortcut, and select  Properties At the very end of the  Target:  text box, add a space and then the desired command line flags ( --allow-file-access-from-files ) Upload the report to the web server and open it from there If you get a 404 error from the remote server, check logs in order to verify that the report was built successfully. If your test framework is JUnit, check that you're using version 4. Allure is inco...

Inspired from the previous post on Test Automation Frameworks , Reporting frameworks play an important part in these frameworks. So here are some of the best open source reporting frameworks out there: Extent Reports Serenity  (Formally Thucydides) RedwoodHQ Allure There are other frameworks like TestNG/ReportNG but we are looking at more robust reporting frameworks with graphical outputs that fit into the CI/CD world. Happy Reporting!

Every-time I read Joe Colantonio's posts I learn something new and this time it was a newbie called Gauge. If you don't know what it is here are the 6 opensource frameworks Joe talks about: Serenity (Formally Thucydides) Robot Framework RedwoodHQ Sahi Galen  Framework Gauge Update:  Two more to the list: An old one  Open2Test New:  Extensive Testing Further Reading:  http://www.joecolantonio.com/2016/05/10/6-open-source-test-automation-frameworks-need-know/

Problem: While using the serenity cucumber framework with maven run only specific scenarios or feature files Solution:  To run only individual feature, run a specific tag say @wip Work In Progress tag @wip mvn verify -Dcucumber.options="--tags @wip" mvn  verify  -Dcucumber.options="--tags @wip @debug2" More -DCucumber.options here:  http://cucumber.github.io/api/cucumber/jvm/javadoc/cucumber/api/CucumberOptions.html#tags-- You can also do this by creating test runner class for each .feature file: @RunWith (CucumberWithSerenity. class ) @CucumberOptions ( features = "src/test/resources/features/search/search_by_keyword.feature" ) public class SearchByKeyword { } Triggering this as any other test class, would execute only the  SearchByKeyword .feature.
