Using Selenified In an Ant Project

Selenified is designed to work seamlessly in your ant project, whether it is a new one, or existing one. Ensure you are using the standard ant project setup.

Dependencies

First thing to do is to add Selenified as a dependency. Update your ivy.xml file to include (or add the dependency block to your current dependencies).

<dependencies>
    <dependency org="com.coveros" name="selenified" rev="3.1.0" />
</dependencies>

Alternatively, you can embed your dependency block in your build.xml file, to avoid external dependencies. To do this, simply create a resolve target, which the classpath will need to depend on.

<target name="resolve">
    <ivy:retrieve pathid="classpath">
        <dependency org="com.coveros" name="selenified" rev="3.1.0" />
    </ivy:retrieve>
</target>

Test Execution

If following the setup indicated, you'll need to add a target to execute your tests. Update your build.xml file to include

<target name="selenified" depends="compile" description="Run integration tests in parallel">
    <java classpathref="classpath" classname="org.testng.TestNG" failonerror="true">
        <arg value="-testclass"/>
        <arg value="SampleIT"/>
    </java>
</target>

This assumes that a Java class called SampleIT.java exists and contains your functional tests. Alternatively, you could specify a testng.xml file which contains test packages, classes, or methods to run. Then from the command line run

ant selenified

Additional Run Parameters

If everything is set up properly, no runtime parameters are required, but many can be provided to change and optimize runtime performance. This can and should be done by configuring the selenified target. Several options exist to change how your tests are run.

Configuration	Description
threads	how many tests you want to run in parallel
verbosity	how much logging is desired
listener	if you want to loop through multiple browsers for the same test, use the custom Selenified Transformer
groups	what tests do you want to include or exclude in the test run based on the provided groups tagging
files	what tests do you want to include or exclude in the test run based on the test file names

More options can he found here. It's best to set most of these configuration values up as parameters, so that they can be easily overridden from the command-line. You'll want to add these as options to the selenified target.

<arg value="-parallel"/>
<arg value="methods"/>
<arg value="-threadcount"/>
<arg value="${threads}"/>
<arg value="-dataproviderthreadcount"/>
<arg value="${threads}"/>
<arg value="-verbose"/>
<arg value="${verbosity}"/>
<arg value="-listener"/>
<arg value="com.coveros.selenified.utilities.Transformer"/>
<arg value="-groups" if:set="groups.include"/>
<arg value="${groups.include}" if:set="groups.include"/>
<arg value="-excludegroups" if:set="groups.exclude"/>
<arg value="${groups.exclude}" if:set="groups.exclude"/>
<arg value="-testclass"/>
<arg value="[TESTCLASSES]"/>

Additionally, the system properties to override settings should also be added.

<sysproperty key="hub" value="${hub}" if:set="hub"/>
<sysproperty key="proxy" value="${proxy}" if:set="proxy"/>
<sysproperty key="appURL" value="${appURL}" if:set="appURL"/>
<sysproperty key="browser" value="${browser}" if:set="browser"/>
<sysproperty key="headless" value="${headless}" if:set="headless"/>
<sysproperty key="options" value="${options}" if:set="options"/>
<sysproperty key="defaultWait" value="${defaultWait}" if:set="defaultWait"/>
<sysproperty key="generatePDF" value="${generatePDF}" if:set="generatePDF"/>
<sysproperty key="packageResults" value="${packageResults}" if:set="packageResults"/>

Finally, ensure some of these values have default settings

<condition property="threads" else="5">
    <isset property="threads"/>
</condition>
<condition property="verbosity" else="3">
    <isset property="verbosity"/>
</condition>

To set these parameters from the command-line, you'll want to pass in the variable name preceded by a -D and set the desired value. For example, to change threading from the default 5 to 2, the below command would be used:

ant selenified -Dthreads=2
