Windows Install Speedrun checklist

Install Java Pre-requisites

You need to have Java, Maven and IntelliJ installed.

For instructions on how to install Java, Maven and IntelliJ; and check they are working, use the checklist in startUsingJavaJunit project:

Note: I currently recommend using ChromeDriver as your default driver and the current version of Chrome as your default browser. If you only setup one driver and browser, make it Chrome, it is a lot easier to start with.

Install Firefox GeckoDriver or ChromeDriver the 'fast' way on Windows

Both GeckoDriver and ChromeDriver are available to install via Chocolatey

Install Firefox GeckoDriver or ChromeDriver the 'long' way on Windows

Note: You only really have to install one of these to get started. I recommend ChromeDriver and Chrome.

Install Chrome and ChromeDriver on Windows

  • [ ]Install Current version of Chrome
  • [ ]download ChromeDriver add it to the path
  • [ ]in startUsingSeleniumWebDriver folder run command mvn test -Dtest=MyFirstChromeTest
    • If you did everything correctly then Chrome should have started and a test should have run

Install Firefox and GeckoDriver on Windows

  • [ ] Install Current version of Firefox
  • [ ]download GeckoDriver add it to the path
  • [ ]in startUsingSeleniumWebDriver folder run command mvn test -Dtest=MyFirstTest
    • If you did everything correctly then Firefox should have started and a test should have run

Install Sample WebDriver Project on Windows

  • Check the most up to date version of WebDriver
    • [ ]check for most up to date version of WebDriver in the unzipped pom.xml file
    • [ ]amend the pom.xml file if the version number is not up to date
    • [ ]exit IntelliJ

The version number is contained in this section of the pom.xml e.g. this says use version 3.13.0 of Selenium WebDriver

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
			<version>3.13.0</version>
        </dependency>

Run Test From IDE on Windows

  • [ ]Back in IntelliJ

  • [ ]run MyFirstTest, or MyFirstTestFF48 or MyFirstChromeTest class

    • [ ]right click on the class in the project window and select "Run

  • [ ]When the test runs from the IDE, you are finished your install and setup

Mac Install Speedrun checklist - Homebrew

Install Java Pre-requisites

For instructions on how to install Java, Maven and IntelliJ; and check they are working, use the checklist in startUsingJavaJunit project:

Install WebDriver Sample Project on Mac

Note: Currently recommend using ChromeDriver as your default driver and the current version of Chrome as your default browser. If you only setup one driver and browser, make it Chrome, it is a lot easier to start with.

  • [ ]open project for the unzipped pom.xml file

  • [ ]check most up to date version of webdriver in the unzipped pom.xml file

    • [ ]check the Selenium webdriver downloads page for the up to date version
      • I do not recommend using a beta version
    • [ ]amend the pom.xml file if the version number is not up to date
    • [ ]exit IntelliJ

Install SafarDriver on Mac

SafariDriver is built into the Mac operating system.

We need to enable remote execution in Safari Browser to use it.

  • Safari \ Preferences \ Advanced
    • [x] show develop menu in menu bar
  • Develop \ Allow Remote Execution

Install Firefox and GeckoDriver on Mac

Install Homebrew if you don't already have it.

Note: to upgrade use brew cask upgrade

Install Chrome and ChromeDriver on Mac

Note: to upgrade use brew cask upgrade

Install Firefox GeckoDriver or ChromeDriver the 'long' way on Mac

Remember you can skip this step if you used HomeBrew.

Firefox GeckoDriver the 'long' way on Mac

  • [ ]download GeckoDriver add it to the path

ChromeDriver the 'long' way on Mac

  • [ ] Install ChromeDriver * [ ]download ChromeDriver add it to the path * https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/ * extract into a folder * add folder path to .bash_profile * export PATH=$PATH:/folder/you/extracted/it/to * [ ]in startUsingSeleniumWebDriver folder run command mvn test -Dtest=MyFirstChromeTest

Run Test From IDE on Windows or Mac

  • [ ] Back in IntelliJ

  • [ ] run MyFirstTest, or MyFirstChromeTest or MyFirstSafariTest class depending on which drivers you installed

    • [ ]right click on the class in the project window and select "Run

  • [ ]When the test runs from the IDE, you are finished your install and setup

Note: on mac if you experience an error running ChromeDriver "chromedriver" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. then try the answers here:** https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60362018/

  • I use which chromedriver to find out where chromedriver is installed
  • cd /usr/local/Caskroom/chromedriver/ to go to chromedriver install
  • ls to find out the version of chromedriver then
  • cd 83.0.4103.39 where 82.0.4103.39 was the version shown when I typed ls
  • then xattr -d com.apple.quarantine chromedriver

Short cut command for this xattr -d com.apple.quarantine $(which chromedriver)
