Golem.WebDriver, Getting Started

===== ###Guide Navigation Creating a Test

###Selenium WebDriver C# Framework

Selenium WebDriver is collection of language specific bindings used to drive browser actions natively the way a real user would. Combined with the Golem’s Core functionality, you now have a powerful tool to create, and execute, robust, browser-based test automation scripts. By default, the framework will automatically launch Firefox on your local browser before each test, and instantiates a WebDriver instance. Controlling which browsers to use, can easily be modified via the Config class, or an App.Config file.

Golem includes a variety of "features" that get started automatically. For example, having each WebDriver command written to the test log.

####Creating a Test

• Create a new Class Library File -> New -> Project -> Class Library.
• Right click on references -> Manage NuGet Packages
• Add Package “ProtoTest.Golem”.
• WebDriver is available via "driver" property.
• Paste the following code into your class file, save the project/solution, and build:

using MbUnit.Framework;
using ProtoTest.Golem.Tests.PageObjects.Google;
using ProtoTest.Golem.WebDriver;

namespace ProtoTest.Golem.Tests
{
    class Test : WebDriverTestBase
    {
        [Test]
        public void TestGoogle()
        {
            OpenPage<GoogleHomePage>("http://www.google.com/").SearchFor("Selenium").VerifyResult("Selenium – Web Browser Automation");
        }
	}
}

Executing a Test:

From Within Visual Studio

• TestDriven.net plugin is required
• Right Click on Test - > Run Test (Should open browser and close it)
• Right Click on Class or project to run all tests within.

From Gallio Icarus

• Open Gallio Icarus
• Click "Add" and navigate to our ProjectName.dll file located in the /bin/release or /bin/debug/ directory.
• Select tests to execute.
• Click Run.

Configuring Tests

Through an App.Config :

• Add an "Application Configuration File".
• Edit the App.config -> Set browser using key “Browser1” value=”Firefox”

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="Browser1" value="Firefox"/>
   </appSettings>
</configuration>

• Execute Test - > Should open Firefox instead of Chrome.
• Supports Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari, HtmlUnit, and Android (remote only)

Through code :

[FixtureInitializer]
        public void init()
        {
            Config.Settings.httpProxy.startProxy = false;
            Config.Settings.httpProxy.useProxy = false;

        }

####Building a new Page Object:

• Look in the Tests/PageObjects directory in the Golem repository for examples
• Page Objects Inherit BasePage
• Instances of Element represent elements in the web page under test
• The Element API provides convenient methods for locating elements
• WebDriver API available through 'driver' property;
• WaitForElements method is called when page object is instantiated. Use it to wait for dynamic elements.

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using ProtoTest.Golem.WebDriver;

namespace ProtoTest.Golem.Tests.PageObjects.Google
{
    public class GoogleHomePage : BasePageObject
    {
        Element searchField = new Element("SearchField", By.Name("q"));
        Element googleLogo = new Element("GoogleLogo", By.Id("hplogo"));
        Element searchButton = new Element("SearchButton", By.Name("btnK"));
        Element feelingLuckyButton = new Element("ImFeelingLuckyButton", By.Name("btnI"));
        Element signInButton = new Element("SignInButon", By.LinkText("Sign in"));

        public GoogleResultsPage SearchFor(string text)
        {
            searchField.Text = text;
            searchField.Submit();
            return new GoogleResultsPage();
        }

        public override void WaitForElements()
        {
            searchField.Verify().Present();
            googleLogo.Verify().Present();
            searchButton.Verify().Present();
            feelingLuckyButton.Verify().Present();
            signInButton.Verify().Present();
        }
    }
}

####Executing on a Remote Computer

• Modify App Config, set host to IP or Hostname of remote computer

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="Browser1" value="Chrome"/>
    <add key="RunOnRemoteHost" value="True"/>
    <add key="HostIp" value="10.10.1.151"/>
   </appSettings>
</configuration>

####Configurable Features:

• Multi Threaded Execution. Mark test with [Parallelizable] attribute. Set number of threads with "DegreeOfParallelism", "1"
• Automatically Launch Browser - LaunchBrowser", "True"
• Specify up to five browsers - "Browser1" value="Firefox"
• Add a delay between commands - "CommandDelayMs" value="0"
• Run on local or remote computer - "RunOnRemoteHost" value="false", "HostIp" value="localhost"
• Capture screenshot on error - "ScreenshotOnError" value="True"
• Capture page html source on error - "HtmlOnError" value="True"
• Capture screen video recording on error - "VideoRecordingOnError", "True"
• Write all webdriver commands to the log - "CommandLogging" value="True"
• Write all page object functions to the log - "ActionLogging" value="True"
• Launch a proxy to capture http traffic - "StartFiddlerProxy" value="True", "ProxyPort" value="8876"
• Appium support - "LaunchApp", "False" - "AppPath", "" - "AppPackage", "" - "AppActivity", "" - "AppOs", "Android"
• Configurable Test timeout - "TestTimeoutMin","5"
• Configurable element Timeout - "ElementTimeoutSec","20"
• Configurable environment Url - "EnvironmentUrl",""
• Automatically check spelling on each page -

###Things to know :

• Multi-threaded support (Parallel test execution)
• Selenium GRID/SauceLabs supported.
• Extended WebDriver API to add additional commands.
• Using EventDrivenWebDriver to log commands.
• Fully configurable programmatically or with an App.Config. Config class reads the App.config and stores all values as properties. Each value should have a default defined.
• Built on the Page Object Design Pattern. Page Objects should inherit BasePageObject
• Test class should inherit TestBaseClass, and each test function should be marked with the [Test] attribute.
• Optional Element class wraps and hides WebDriver API
• WebDriver driver is instantiated automatically for each test, and stored in a static IDictionary in the TestBaseClass. This is for multi-threaded support. Each thread automatically knows which driver belongs to it. Access it in any test or page object like "driver.FindElement".
• Page Objects need to define a WaitForElements() function. This is called automaticalled when the PO is instantiated. You should put waits or validations in here to wait or validate that a page object is fully loaded and ready to be used.
• Page Objects don't need a constructor. The base constructor instantiates everything, and the driver object is stored statically in the TestBaseClass
• You can use MbUnit.Framework.Assert to make assertions. These will stop the test on failure.
• Created a variety of Verifications in the WebDriver API. These will not stop the test if they fail. '
• Supports data driven testing through MbUnit attributes.
