A Template for using SHAFT_Engine

I. Quick Start Guide 🏃

Step 1: Setting up your project

• Click the blue button above that says "Use this template" > "Create a new repository"
• From your new repository click the blue button that says "<> Code" > "Open with GitHub Desktop"
• From your GitHub Desktop click the button that says "Open in JetBrains IntelliJ Idea Community Edition"
• With the latest SHAFT_Engine version, the engine will be able to configure itself in TestNG or JUnit mode automatically. You will not need to add any listeners anymore.
• If you're using Cucumber, due to a known issue with IntelliJ you need to edit your run configuration templates before running your feature files by following these steps:
  • Open 'Edit Run/Debug Configurations' dialog > Edit Configurations... > Edit configuration templates...
  • Select Cucumber Java > Program Arguments > and add this argument:
    --plugin --plugin com.shaft.listeners.CucumberFeatureListener
  • After saving the changes, remember to delete any old runs you may have triggered by mistake before adding the needed config.

Step 2: Running some Tests

• Navigate to the module that you want to play with. For example GUI_Web
• Navigate to any test class. For example src/test/java/TestPackage/TestClass.java
• Press the green play button next to the class name to run the entire class, or next to a test method to run only that method.
• Test execution will begin, and you'll see the browser opening and the test running.
• The Test execution report will open automatically in your default web browser after the test run is completed.

• Navigate to "Actions" and then select "Desktop Browser Tests" from the side menu
