selenium-utils

The purpose of this framework is to make UI testing much easier and cheaper. Framework is based on selenium wrappers and principles which canopy uses.

APIs

We created types of 2 APIs.

• AssertAPI
• FluentAPI - discontinued due to lack of interest.

Assert API

Assert API uses concept of one assertation on one line. This approach has big advantage when you need to quickly navigate between stack trace and source code.

AssertUI.InnerTextEquals(element, "expected value", "Custom error message.");

Fluent API (discontinued)

Fluent API is perfect for really simple tests. You can stack more checking methods in a row.

element.CheckIfInnerTextEquals("value", ...).CheckHasAttribute("data-custom");

Lambda API

Lambda API is a theoretical concept for now. It is a compromise between AssertApi and FluentApi.

    browser.First("#button").Check().InnerText(s => s.Contains("text"));
    browser.First("#input").Check().Tag(s => s.Contains("input"));

Configuration

All critical settings are configurable in seleniumconfig.json. This provides you the possibility of creation specific configuration for your CI servers.

seleniumconfig.json file has to be copied to bin folder.

{
  "factories": { // defines browser factories
    "chrome:fast": {
      "capabilities": [ "--window-size=1920,1080" ]
    }
    "chrome:coordinator": { // integration with docker
      "options": {
        "coordinatorUrl": "http://192.168.88.216:5001/"
      }
    }
  },
  "baseUrls": [ // all tested base urls for tests
    "http://localhost:6277/"
  ],
  "testRunOptions": {
    "runInParallel": false, // sets whether browsers are used in parallel mode or not
    "testAttemptsCount": 1 // number of attempts to pass the test (1 = do not re-try) 
  },
  "logging": {
    "loggers": {
      "testContext": {}, // uses TestContext in MSTest to log 
    }
  }
