Cucumber Tutorial – How to setup Cucumber with Eclipse

HOME

In the previous tutorials, we discussed BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) and GherkinCucumber is one such open-source tool, which supports Behaviour Driven Development (BDD). In simple words, Cucumber can be defined as a testing framework, driven by plain English. It serves as documentation, automated tests, and development aid – all in one.

In this tutorial, we will set up Cucumber with Eclipse

Implementation Steps

1. Download and Install Java

Java is a robust programming language. Java is a general-purpose programming language that is concurrent; class-based and object-oriented language. Java follows the concept of “write once and run anywhere (WORA)” which means that compiled Java code can be run on all different platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation. Cucumber supports the Java platform for execution. Click here to know How to install Java.

2. Download and Start Eclipse

Eclipse is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It contains a base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for customizing the environment. To download Eclipse, please refer to this tutorial – How to install Eclipse.

3. Maven –  How to install Maven on Windows 

Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. It uses the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project’s build, reporting, and documentation from a central piece of information. MAVEN helps us in creating the project structure and managing and downloading the dependencies. We need to define the required dependencies in pom.xml. To install Maven on Windows, please refer to this tutorial – How to install Maven.

4. Install Cucumber Eclipse Plugin

The Cucumber plugin is an Eclipse plugin that allows eclipse to understand the Gherkin syntax. Cucumber Eclipse Plugin highlights the keywords present in Feature File. To install Cucumber Eclipse Plugin, please refer to this tutorial – How to install Cucumber Eclipse Plugin

5. Configure Cucumber with Maven

Step 1 – Create a new Maven Project.

Click here to know the steps to create a new Maven project –  How to create a Maven project.

Step 2 – Open pom.xml of the project
       

Step 3 − Add dependency for selenium

This will indicate to Maven that Selenium jar files are to download from the central repository to the local repository.                                                                             

Open pom.xml in the edit mode, create dependencies tag (), inside the project tag.                   

 <!-- Selenium -->
 <dependency>
      <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
      <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
      <version>4.15.0</version>
 </dependency>

Step 4 –  Add dependency for Cucumber-Java

This will indicate Maven, which Cucumber files are to be downloaded from the central repository to the local repository.  Create one more dependency tag.

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
    <version>7.14.0</version>
</dependency>

Step 5 – Add dependency for Cucumber-JUnit

This will indicate Maven, which Cucumber JUnit files are to download from the central repository to the local repository. Create one more dependency tag. 

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
    <version>7.14.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Step 6 –  Add dependency for JUnit

This will indicate Maven, which JUnit files are to be downloaded from the central repository to the local repository. Create one more dependency tag.

<dependency>
   <groupId>junit</groupId>
   <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
   <version>4.13.2</version>
   <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Below is the screenshot which shows that Maven Project called Cucumber_JUnit4_Demo.

After adding the above mention dependencies, pom.xml looks like the image below

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

  <groupId>org.example</groupId>
  <artifactId>Cucumber_JUnit4_Demo</artifactId>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>jar</packaging>

  <name>Cucumber_JUnit4_Demo</name>
  <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>

  <properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <cucumber.version>7.14.0</cucumber.version>
    <selenium.version>4.15.0</selenium.version>
    <junit.version>4.13.2</junit.version>
  </properties>

  <dependencies>

    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
      <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
      <version>${cucumber.version}</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
      <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
      <version>${cucumber.version}</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

    <!-- Selenium -->
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
      <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
      <version>${selenium.version}</version>
    </dependency>

    <!-- JUnit4 -->
    <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>${junit.version}</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>

</project>

After adding the dependencies and then building the project, the below image shows the entire jar files added to the Maven Dependency.

Congratulations!! We are done with the setup of the Cucumber in Eclipse. Happy Learning.

What is Springboot?

Spring Boot is an open-source micro framework maintained by a company called Pivotal. It provides Java developers with a platform to get started with an auto-configurable production-grade Spring application. With it, developers can get started quickly without losing time on preparing and configuring their Spring application.

What is Cucumber?

A cucumber is a software tool that supports behavior-driven development (BDD). Cucumber can be defined as a testing framework, driven by plain English. It serves as documentation, automated tests, and development aid – all in one.

Dependency List

  1. Springboot – 2.5.2
  2. Cucumber – 6.10.4
  3. Java 11
  4. JUnit – 4.13.2
  5. Maven – 3.8.1
  6. RestAssured – 4.3.3
  7. JUnit Vintage Engine (To run the tests through command line)

Below is the structure of a SpringBoot application project.

Below are various Java classes present in a SpringBoot REST Application.

  • SpringBootRestServiceApplication.java – The Spring Boot Application class is generated with Spring Initializer. This class acts as the launching point for the application.
  • pom.xml – This contains all the dependencies needed to build this project. 
  • Student.java – This is JPA Entity for Student class
  • StudentRepository.java – This is JPA Repository for Student. This is created using Spring Data JpaRepository.
  • StudentController.java – Spring Rest Controller exposing all services on the student resource.
  • CustomizedExceptionHandler.java – This implements global exception handling and customizes the responses based on the exception type.
  • ErrorDetails.java – Response Bean to use when exceptions are thrown from API.
  • StudentNotFoundException.java – Exception thrown from resources when the student is not found.
  • data.sql –  Data is loaded from data.sql into the Student table. Spring Boot would execute this script after the tables are created from the entities.
  • application.properties – Spring Boot automatically loads the application.properties whenever it starts up. You can de-reference values from the property file in the Java code through the environment.

Student.java

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotBlank;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotNull;
import javax.validation.constraints.Size;

@Entity
public class Student {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Long id;

    @NotNull
    @Size(min = 4, message = "Name should have atleast 4 characters")
    private String name;

    @NotBlank(message = "passportNumber is mandatory")
    private String passportNumber;

    public Student() {
        super();
    }

    public Student(Long id, String name, String passportNumber) {
        super();
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.passportNumber = passportNumber;
    }

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getPassportNumber() {
        return passportNumber;
    }

    public void setPassportNumber(String passportNumber) {
        this.passportNumber = passportNumber;
    }
}

    private StudentRepository studentRepository;

    @GetMapping("/students/{id}")
    public EntityModel<Student> retrieveStudent(@PathVariable long id) {
        Optional<Student> student = studentRepository.findById(id);

        if (!student.isPresent())
            throw new StudentNotFoundException("id-" + id);

        EntityModel<Student> resource = EntityModel.of(student.get());

        WebMvcLinkBuilder linkTo = linkTo(methodOn(this.getClass()).retrieveAllStudents());

insert into student values(10002,'John', 'A1234568');
insert into student values(10003,'David','C1232268');

Test Automation Framework Implementation

Step 1 – Add SpringbootTest, Rest-Assured, and Cucumber dependencies to the project

To Test a SpringBoot Application, we are using SpringBoot Test, JUnit, Cucumber, and Rest Assured. Below mentioned dependencies are added in POM.xml

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <version>4.13.2</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId>
            <artifactId>rest-assured</artifactId>
            <version>4.3.3</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
            <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
            <version>6.10.4</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
            <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
            <version>6.10.4</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
            <artifactId>cucumber-spring</artifactId>
            <version>6.10.4</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

Step 2 – Create a directory src/test/resources and create a feature file under src/test/resources

By default, the Maven project has src/test/java directory only. Create a new directory under src/test with the name of resources. Create a folder name as Features within src/test/resources directory.

Create a feature file to test the Springboot application.

Below is a sample feature file.

Feature: Verify springboot application using Cucumber

@ReceiveUserDetails
Scenario Outline: Send a valid Request to get user details
Given I send a request to the URL "/students" to get user details
Then the response will return status 200 and id <studentID> and names "<studentNames>" and passport_no "<studentPassportNo>"

Examples:
|studentID    |studentNames  |studentPassportNo|
|10001        |Annie         |E1234567         |
|10002        |John          |A1234568         |
|10003        |David         |C1232268         |

Step 3 – Create the Step Definition class or Glue Code for the Test Scenario under src/test/java

The corresponding step definition file of the above feature file is shown below.

import io.cucumber.java.en.Given;
import io.cucumber.java.en.Then;
import io.cucumber.spring.CucumberContextConfiguration;
import io.restassured.RestAssured;
import io.restassured.http.ContentType;
import io.restassured.response.ValidatableResponse;
import io.restassured.specification.RequestSpecification;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
import org.springframework.boot.web.server.LocalServerPort;
import static io.restassured.RestAssured.given;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;

@CucumberContextConfiguration
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
public class SpringbootCucumberTestDefinitions {

    private final static String BASE_URI = "http://localhost";

    @LocalServerPort
    private int port;

    private ValidatableResponse validatableResponse;

    private void configureRestAssured() {
        RestAssured.baseURI = BASE_URI;
        RestAssured.port = port;
    }

    protected RequestSpecification requestSpecification() {
        configureRestAssured();
        return given();
    }

    @Given("I send a request to the URL {string} to get user details")
    public void iSendARequest(String endpoint) throws Throwable {
        validatableResponse = requestSpecification().contentType(ContentType.JSON)
                .when().get(endpoint).then();
        System.out.println("RESPONSE :"+validatableResponse.extract().asString());
    }

    @Then("the response will return status {int} and id {int} and names {string} and passport_no {string}")
    public void extractResponse(int status, int id, String studentName,String passportNo) {
        validatableResponse.assertThat().statusCode(equalTo(status))
                .body("id",hasItem(id)).body(containsString(studentName))
                .body(containsString(passportNo));

    }

}

The @CucumberContextConfiguration annotation tells Cucumber to use this class as the test context configuration for Spring. It is imported from:-

import io.cucumber.spring.CucumberContextConfiguration;

With the @SpringBootTest annotation, Spring Boot provides a convenient way to start up an application context to be used in a test.  It is imported from package:-

import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;

By default, @SpringBootTest does not start the webEnvironment to refine further how your tests run. It has several options: MOCK(default), RANDOM_PORT, DEFINED_PORT, NONE.

RANDOM_PORT loads a WebServerApplicationContext and provides a real web environment. The embedded server is started and listens on a random port. LocalServerPort is imported from package:-

import org.springframework.boot.web.server.LocalServerPort;

The assertions are imported from the Hamcrest package:-

import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;

Step 4 – Create a Cucumber Runner class under src/test/java

A runner will help us to run the feature file and act as an interlink between the feature file and StepDefinition Class. To know more about Runner, refer to this link. The TestRunner should be created within the directory src/test/java.

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import io.cucumber.junit.Cucumber;
import io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions;

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(plugin = "pretty", features = {"src/test/resources/Features"}, glue = { "com.example.demo.definitions"})

public class CucumberRunnerTests {
}

The @CucumberOptions annotation is responsible for pointing to the right feature package, configuring the plugin for a better reporting of tests in the console output, and specifying the package where extra glue classes may be found. We use it to load configurations and classes that are shared between tests.

Step 5 – Run the tests from JUnit

You can execute the test script by right-clicking on TestRunner class -> Run As JUnit in Eclipse.

In case you are using IntelliJ, select “Run CucumberRunnerTests“.

SpringBootTest creates an application context containing all the objects we need for the Integration Testing It, starts the embedded server, creates a web environment, and then enables methods to do Integration testing.

Step 6 – Run the tests from the Command Line

To run the tests from the command line, we need to add junit-vintage-engine dependency. Starting with Spring Boot 2.4, JUnit 5’s vintage engine has been removed from the spring-boot-starter-test. If we still want to write tests using JUnit 4, we need to add the following Maven dependency:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.junit.vintage</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-vintage-engine</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

Use the below command to run the tests:-

mvn clean test

Step 7 – Cucumber Report Generation

To get Cucumber Test Reports, add cucumber.properties under src/test/resources and add the below instruction in the file. To know more about Cucumber Report Service, refer to this tutorial.

cucumber.publish.enabled=true

Below is the image of the report generated after the completion of the execution. This report can be saved on GitHub for future use.

That’s it! Congratulations on making it through this tutorial and hope you found it useful! Happy Learning!!

driver.findElement(By.id("email")) 


driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/form/content"));

Double Slash “//” – Double slash is used to create an XPath with a relative path i.e. the XPath would be created to start selection from anywhere within the document. For example, the below example will select any element in the document which has an attribute named “id” with the specified value “email”.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id = 'email']")

4. How do we can launch the browser using WebDriver?

Firstly, we should instantiate a Chrome/Chromium session by doing the following

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
           
 ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
 WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

The chromedriver is implemented as a WebDriver remote server that instructs the browser what to do by exposing Chrome’s internal automation proxy interface.

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.Firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxOptions;

         FirefoxOptions firefoxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxOptions);

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeOptions;

      EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
      WebDriver driver = new EdgeDriver(options);

For more details, click here 


5. What are the different types of Drivers available in WebDriver?

The different drivers available in WebDriver are

  • FirefoxDriver
  • InternetExplorerDriver
  • ChromeDriver
  • SafariDriver
  • OperaDriver
  • AndroidDriver
  • IPhoneDriver
  • HtmlUnitDriver

6. Explain the different exceptions in Selenium WebDriver

Exceptions in Selenium are similar to exceptions in other programming languages. The most common exceptions in Selenium are:


1. TimeoutException: This exception is thrown when a command performing an operation does not complete in the expected time.

2. NoSuchElementException: This exception is thrown when an element with given attributes is not found on the web page. Suppose webdriver is trying to click on XPath – “//*[@id=’yDmH0d’]/div/div[2]/div[2]/form/content” which doesn’t exist on that particular web page, then the below exception is displayed – org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException.

3. ElementNotVisibleException: This exception is thrown when the element is present in DOM (Document Object Model), but not visible on the web page.

4. StaleElementException: This exception is thrown when the element is either deleted or no longer attached to the DOM. This exception occurs, when Selenium navigates to a different page, comes back to the same old page, and performs operations on the old page. Technically, it occurs when the element defined in the Selenium code is not found in the cache memory and the Selenium code is trying to locate it. 


7. What are the different types of waits available in WebDriver?

How do you achieve synchronization in WebDriver?

There are three types of wait in Selenium WebDriver

 1.   Implicit Wait – The implicit wait will tell to the web driver to wait for a certain amount of time before it throws a “NoSuchElementException“. The default setting is 0. Once we set the time, the web driver will wait for that time before throwing an exception. Implicit waits are used to provide a default waiting time (say 30 seconds) between each consecutive test step/command across the entire test script.
We need to import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit to use ImplicitWait.

    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(2));

2.    Explicit Wait – An explicit wait is a code you define to wait for a certain condition to occur before proceeding further in the code. The explicit wait will tell the web driver to wait for certain conditions like visibilityOfElementLocated and the maximum amount of time before throwing the NoSuchElementException exception. Unlike Implicit waits, explicit waits are applied for a particular instance only.

 Wait<WebDriver> wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(2));
  wait.until(d -> revealed.isDisplayed());

3.  Fluent Wait – Fluent Wait instance defines the maximum amount of time to wait for a condition, as well as the frequency with which to check the condition.

Users may configure the wait to ignore specific types of exceptions whilst waiting, such as  NoSuchElementException when searching for an element on the page.

Fluent Wait commands are mainly used when the web elements which sometimes visible in a few seconds and sometimes take more time than usual. Mainly in Ajax applications. We could set the default pooling period based on the requirement.

Wait<WebDriver> wait =
        new FluentWait<>(driver)
            .withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(2))
            .pollingEvery(Duration.ofMillis(300))
            .ignoring(ElementNotInteractableException.class);

    wait.until(
        d -> {
          revealed.sendKeys("Displayed");
          return true;
        });

8. How to set the size of the Window in Selenium WebDriver?

First, fetch the size of the browser window in pixels by the below code Dimension

//Access each dimension individually
int width = driver.manage().window().getSize().getWidth();
int height = driver.manage().window().getSize().getHeight();

//Or store the dimensions and query them later
Dimension size = driver.manage().window().getSize();
int width1 = size.getWidth();
int height1 = size.getHeight();

Now, change the size of the window by using

driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1024, 768)); 

9. How to set the position of Window in Selenium?

First fetch the coordinates of the top left coordinate of the browser window by

// Store the dimensions and query them later
Point position = driver.manage().window().getPosition();
         int x1 = position.getX();
         int y1 = position.getY();

// Access each dimension individually
int x = driver.manage().window().getPosition().getX();
int y = driver.manage().window().getPosition().getY();

The window can be moved to the chosen position by

// Move the window to the top left of the primary monitor
driver.manage().window().setPosition(new Point(0, 0));

10. What is the difference between driver.findElement() and driver.findElements() commands?

FindElement – This method locates the first web element on the current web page matching the criteria mentioned as the parameter.  
If the web element is not found, it will throw an exception – NoSuchElementException. 

driver.findElement(By.xpath("Xpath location"));

FindElements – This method locates all the web elements on the current web page matching the criteria mentioned as parameters. 

If not found any WebElement on the current page as per the given element locator mechanism, it will return the empty list.     

findElements (By arg0):List<WebElement

11. How to type in a textbox using Selenium?

The user can use sendKeys(“String to be entered”) to enter the string in the textbox. The sendKeys type a key sequence in the DOM element even if a modifier key sequence is encountered.

Syntax - sendKeys(CharSequence… keysToSend ) : void
Command – driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@name = 'email']")).sendKeys("abc123@gmail.com") 

For more details, click here


12. How can we get a text of a web element?

The get command is used to retrieve the inner text of the specified web element. The command doesn’t require any parameter but returns a string value. It is also one of the extensively used commands for verification of messages, labels, errors, etc displayed on the web pages. 

String Text = driver.findElement(By.id(“Text”)).getText();

13. How to input text in the text box without calling the sendKeys()?

//Creating the JavascriptExecutor interface object by Type casting                                     JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;              

//Launching the Site        
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");                      
js.executeScript("document.getElementsByName('q')[0].value = 'Selenium Introduction';");

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element).click().sendKeys("Selenium Introduction").build().perform();

15. What is JavaScriptExecutor and in which cases JavaScriptExecutor will help in Selenium automation?

There are some conditions where we cannot handle problems with only WebDriver. Web controls don’t react well to selenium commands. In this kind of situation, we use Javascript. It is useful for custom synchronizations, hiding or showing web elements, changing values, testing flash/HTML5, and so on. 
To do these, we can use Selenium’s JavascriptExecutor interface which executes JavaScript through Selenium driver.

It providesexecutescript” & “executeAsyncScript methods, to run JavaScript in the context of the currently selected frame or window.

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver; 
js.executeScript(Script,Arguments);

Script – This is the JavaScript that needs to be executed.

Arguments – It is the arguments to the script. It’s optional
Let’s see some scenarios we could handle using this Interface:
1. To type Text in Selenium WebDriver without using sendKeys() method 2. To click a Button in Selenium WebDriver using JavaScript
3. To handle Checkbox
4. To generate an Alert Pop window in Selenium
5. To refresh the browser window using Javascript
6. To get inner text of the entire webpage in Selenium
7. To get the Title of our webpage
8. To get the domain
9. To get the URL of a webpage
10. To perform Scroll on an application using  Selenium

16. How To Highlight Element Using Selenium WebDriver?

By using the JavascriptExecutor interface, we could highlight the specified element

//Create the JavascriptExecutor interface object by Type casting               
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver; 

//Higlight element - Total PageCount
WebElement TotalCount = driver.findElement(By.id("Stats1"));
js.executeScript("arguments[0].style.border='3px dotted blue'", TotalCount);

17. List some scenarios that we cannot automate using Selenium WebDriver?


18. How can you find if an element is displayed on the screen?

WebDriver facilitates the user with the following methods to check the visibility of the web elements. These web elements can be buttons, drop boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, labels, etc.

  • isDisplayed()
  • isSelected()
  • isEnabled()
isDisplayed():
boolean elePresent = driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath")).isDisplayed();
isSelected():
boolean eleSelected= driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath")).isSelected(); 
isEnabled():
boolean eleEnabled= driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath")).isEnabled();

19. Explain how you can switch back from a frame?

To switch back from a frame use the method defaultContent().  

driver.switchTo().defaultContent(); 

20. What is the difference between getWindowhandles() and getwindowhandle() ?

getwindowhandles(): It is used to get the address of all the open browser and its return type is Set<String>

getwindowhandle(): It is used to get the address of the current browser where the control is and return type is string.

21. How to select the value in a dropdown?

To perform any operation on DropDown, we need to do 2 things:-

1) Import package org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select 
2) Create a new Select object of the class Select

Select oSelect = new Select());
Different Select Commands
Select yselect = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("year")));
yselect.selectByValue("1988");
 Select mselect = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("month")));
 mselect.selectByVisibleText("Apr");
Select bselect = new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("birthday_day")));
bselect.selectByIndex(8);

22. How to switch to a new window (new tab) that opens up after you click on a link?

If you click on a link in a web page and it opens a new window, but WebDriver will not know which window the Operating system consider active. To change the WebDriver’s focus/ reference to the new window we need to use the switchTo() command. driver.switchTo().window();

Here, ‘windowName’ is the name of the window you want to switch your reference to.

In case you do not know the name of the window, then you can use the driver.getWindowHandle() command to get the name of all the windows that were initiated by the WebDriver. Note that it will not return the window names of browser windows which are not initiated by your WebDriver.

Once you have the name of the window, then you can use an enhanced for loop to switch to that window. Look at the piece of code below.

String handle= driver.getWindowHandle();
for (String handle : driver.getWindowHandles()) 
{
driver.switchTo().window(handle); 
}

//Store the ID of the original window
String originalWindow = driver.getWindowHandle();

//Check we don't have other windows open already
 assert driver.getWindowHandles().size() == 1;

 //Click the link which opens in a new window
 driver.findElement(By.linkText("new window")).click();

 //Wait for the new window or tab
 wait.until(numberOfWindowsToBe(2));
  
//Loop through until we find a new window handle
for (String windowHandle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
    if(!originalWindow.contentEquals(windowHandle)) {
        driver.switchTo().window(windowHandle);
        break; 
    } 
}
  
//Wait for the new tab to finish loading content
wait.until(titleIs("Selenium documentation"));

23. How to handle browser (chrome) notifications in Selenium?

In Chrome, we can use ChromeOptions as shown below.

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
WebDriver player = new ChromeDriver(options);

24. How to delete Browser Cookies with Selenium Web Driver?

driver.Manage().Cookies.DeleteAllCookies();
driver.manage().deleteCookieNamed("cookie_name");
// Get the cookie
Cookie cookie = driver.manage().getCookieNamed("cookie_name");

// Delete the specific cookie
driver.manage().deleteCookie(cookie);

25. What are the different types of navigation commands?

  • driver.navigate().forward(); – to navigate to the next web page with reference to the browser’s history.
  • driver.navigate().back(); – takes back to the previous webpage with reference to the browser’s history.
  • driver.navigate().refresh(); – to refresh the current web page thereby reloading all the web elements.
  • driver.navigate().to(“url”); – to launch a new web browser window and navigate to the specified URL.

26. How can we handle Web-based Pop-ups or Alerts in Selenium?

To handle Web-based alerts or popups, we need to do switch to the alert window and call Selenium WebDriver Alert API methods.

  • dismiss(): To click on Cancel button.
  • accept(): To Click on OK button.
  • getText(): To get the text which is present on the Alert.
  • sendKeys(): To enter the text into the alert box.

27. What are the ways to refresh a browser using Selenium WebDriver?

1. Using driver.navigate().refresh() command.
2. Using driver.get(“URL”) on the current URL or using driver.getCurrentUrl()
3. Using driver.navigate().to(“URL”) on the current URL or driver.navigate().to(driver.getCurrentUrl());
4. Using sendKeys(Keys.F5) on any textbox on the webpage.        



28. What are the different mouse actions that can be performed?

The different mouse events supported in selenium are
1. click(WebElement element)
2. doubleClick(WebElement element)
3. contextClick(WebElement element)
4. mouseDown(WebElement element)
5. mouseUp(WebElement element)
6. mouseMove(WebElement element)
7. mouseMove(WebElement element, long xOffset, long yOffset)

For more details, click here


29. Write the code to double-click an element in selenium?

To double-click an element in Selenium, you can use the Actions class, which provides the doubleClick() method. The code to double-click an element in selenium is mentioned below

driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/mouse_interaction.html");

WebElement clickable = driver.findElement(By.id("clickable"));
new Actions(driver)
.doubleClick(clickable)
.perform();

30. Write the code to right-click an element in selenium?

To right-click an element in Selenium, you can use the Actions class, which provides the contextClick() method for performing a right-click action. Below is an example:

 driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/mouse_interaction.html");

WebElement clickable = driver.findElement(By.id("clickable"));
new Actions(driver)
.contextClick(clickable)
.perform();

31. How to mouse hover an element in selenium?

// Launch the URL
driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/mouse_interaction.html");

WebElement hoverable = driver.findElement(By.id("hover"));
	     
new Actions(driver)
.moveToElement(hoverable)
.perform();

Using the Action class, drag and drop can be performed in selenium.

// Launch the URL
driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/mouse_interaction.html");

WebElement hoverable = driver.findElement(By.id("hover"));
	     
new Actions(driver)
.moveToElement(hoverable)
.perform();

    Or
driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/mouse_interaction.html");
 
WebElement draggable = driver.findElement(By.id("draggable"));
WebElement droppable = driver.findElement(By.id("droppable"));
new Actions(driver)
.dragAndDrop(draggable, droppable)
.perform();

33. How can we capture screenshots in selenium?

Using the getScreenshotAs method of the TakesScreenshot interface, we can take the screenshots in selenium.

File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("D:\\testScreenShot.jpg"));


Set<Cookie> cookies = driver.manage().getCookies();
driver.manage().getCookieNamed(arg0);
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("cookieName", "cookieValue");
driver.manage().addCookie(cookie);
driver.manage().deleteCookieNamed("cookieName");
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

Integration of Serenity with Rest Assured

HOME

In this tutorial, I will explain the Integration of Serenity BDD with Rest Assured for the testing of RestFul API.

What is Serenity BDD?

Serenity BDD is an open-source library that aims to make the idea of living documentation a reality.

What is Rest Assured?

Rest Assured is one of the most powerful libraries for testing RESTful API using Java language. Rest-Assured is a Java-based library that is used to test RESTful Web Services. This library behaves like a headless Client to access REST web services. The rest-Assured library also provides the ability to validate the HTTP Responses received from the server.

Step 4 – Create the Test Code in src/java/test directory

There are 2 ways to create the same test. One approach is to have a Definition file that contains all the test code as shown below.

package org.example.tests;

import io.restassured.response.Response;
import net.serenitybdd.rest.SerenityRest;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.junit.Test;

import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.equalTo;

public class Employee {
    private static final String URL = "https://reqres.in/api";
    public Response response;

    int id = 2;

    @Test
    public void verifyValidUser() {

        response = SerenityRest
                .given()
                .contentType("application/json")
                .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
                .when()
                .get(URL + "/users/" + id);

        SerenityRest.restAssuredThat(response -> response.statusCode(200)
                .body("data.id", equalTo(2))
                .body("data.email", equalTo("janet.weaver@reqres.in"))
                .body("data.first_name", equalTo("Janet"))
                .body("data.last_name", equalTo("Weaver")));

    }

    @Test
    public void verifyCreateUser() {
        JSONObject data = new JSONObject();

        data.put("name", "Test");
        data.put("job", "Test Architect");

        response = SerenityRest
                .given()
                .contentType("application/json")
                .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
                .body(data.toString())
                .when()
                .post(URL + "/users");

        SerenityRest.restAssuredThat(response -> response.statusCode(201)
                .body("name", equalTo("Test"))
                .body("job", equalTo("Test Architect")));

    }

}

Another approach is that all tests are split into reusable blocks called “steps“. The main principle of the BDD approach is that we are trying to keep complexity to a high-level human-readable level. First of all, let’s create a separate package to keep our steps. It is always better to keep them separate as it shows which classes contain reusable components. It is better to make steps smaller. So let’s make separate reusable steps from our tests:

package org.example.steps;

import io.restassured.response.Response;
import net.serenitybdd.annotations.Step;
import net.serenitybdd.rest.SerenityRest;
import org.json.JSONObject;

import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.equalTo;

public class EmployeeSteps {
    private static final String URL = "https://reqres.in/api";
    public Response response;

    @Step("Search user by id {0}")
    public void sendUser(int id) {
        response = SerenityRest
                .given()
                .contentType("application/json")
                .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
                .when()
                .get(URL + "/users/" + id);

    }

    @Step("Create a new user")
    public void createUser() {

        JSONObject data = new JSONObject();

        data.put("name", "Test");
        data.put("job", "Test Architect");

        response = SerenityRest
                .given()
                .contentType("application/json")
                .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
                .body(data.toString())
                .when()
                .post(URL + "/users");

    }

    @Step("Verify the status code {0}")
    public void verifyStatusCode(int expectedStatusCode) {
        SerenityRest.restAssuredThat(response -> response.statusCode(expectedStatusCode));
    }

    @Step("Verify the user id {0}")
    public void verifyId(int expectedId) {
        SerenityRest.restAssuredThat(response -> response.body("data.id", equalTo(expectedId)));
    }

    @Step("Verify the user first name {0}")
    public void verifyFirstName(String expectedFirstName) {

        SerenityRest.restAssuredThat(response -> response.body("data.first_name", equalTo(expectedFirstName)));
    }

    @Step("Verify the user last name {0}")
    public void verifyLastName(String expectedLastName) {
        SerenityRest.restAssuredThat(response -> response.body("data.last_name", equalTo(expectedLastName)));
    }

    @Step("Verify the user email {0}")
    public void verifyEmail(String expectedEmail) {
        SerenityRest.restAssuredThat(response -> response.body("data.email", equalTo(expectedEmail)));
    }

    @Step("Verify the new user name {0}")
    public void verifyNewUserName(String expectedName) {
        SerenityRest.restAssuredThat(response -> response.body("name", equalTo(expectedName)));
    }

    @Step("Verify the new user job {0}")
    public void verifyNewUserJob(String expectedJob) {
        SerenityRest.restAssuredThat(response -> response.body("job", equalTo(expectedJob)));
    }

}

Now our steps are ready. Let’s refactor the main class with our tests:

package org.example.tests;

import net.serenitybdd.annotations.Steps;
import net.serenitybdd.annotations.Title;
import net.serenitybdd.junit.runners.SerenityRunner;
import org.example.steps.EmployeeSteps;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

@RunWith(SerenityRunner.class)
public class EmployeeTests {
    @Steps
    EmployeeSteps employeeSteps;

    @Test
    @Title("Get User")
    public void verifyValidUser() {
        employeeSteps.sendUser(2);
        employeeSteps.verifyStatusCode(200);
        employeeSteps.verifyId(2);
        employeeSteps.verifyFirstName("Janet");
        employeeSteps.verifyLastName("Weaver");
        employeeSteps.verifyEmail("janet.weaver@reqres.in");

    }

    @Test
    @Title("Create User")
    public void createValidUser() {

        employeeSteps.createUser();
        employeeSteps.verifyStatusCode(201);
        employeeSteps.verifyNewUserName("Test");
        employeeSteps.verifyNewUserJob("Test Architect");

    }

}

One more important thing we added is the @RunWith(SerenityRunner.class)” annotation on top of the class. As we have now organized our structure to meet some basic Serenity principles, we are ready to run the test using Serenity. This time (after we added the mentioned annotation) these tests will be run using the “SerenityRunner”. For that we can use exactly the same command to run our tests:

mvn clean verify

The output of the above program is

In the console, you should find printed messages for tests to start. At the same time under the target directory you can find the HTML-generated report we were talking about before:

You can open the report in any browser:

If you click on any test you should see a detailed description of the test steps:

One of the most important features of the Serenity and REST Assured integration is that by using detailed reporting, you can easily validate all requests and response details even if you are not adding any logs inside tests. Like the example above, for each executed REST request you can click the button “REST Query” and get a detailed request and response description:

There is another very useful Serenity Report – Serenity Symmary.html

As you can see, Serenity and REST Assured provide you with a wonderful combination. REST Assured keeps API testing clean and easy to maintain, while Serenity gives you outstanding test reporting and flexibility in running and grouping your tests inside a test suite.

We are done! Congratulations on making it through this tutorial and hope you found it useful! Happy Learning!!

Integration of Cucumber7 with Selenium and JUnit5

Last Updated On

HOME

I have created a lot of tutorials on creating Test Frameworks by integrating JUnit4 with Selenium, Cucumber, Serenity, Rest API, Springboot. This tutorial explain the steps to Integrate Cucumber7 with JUnit5.

JUnit 5 is composed of several different modules from three different sub-projects.

JUnit 5 = JUnit Platform + JUnit Jupiter + JUnit Vintage

We can use the JUnit Platform to execute Cucumber scenarios.

Add the cucumber-junit-platform-engine dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
   <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
   <artifactId>cucumber-junit-platform-engine</artifactId>
   <version>${cucumber.version}</version>
   <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

This will allow IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, Maven, Gradle, etc, to discover, select and execute Cucumber scenarios.

Table of Contents

Prerequisite

  1. Java Version 17 installed
  2. Eclipse or IntelliJ installed
  3. Maven or Gradle installed and setup
  4. Cucumber Eclipse Plugin installed

Project Structure

Implementation Steps

Step 1- Download and Install Java

Cucumber and Selenium need Java to be installed on the system to run the tests. Click here to know How to install Java.

Step 2 – Download and setup Eclipse IDE on the system

The Eclipse IDE (integrated development environment) provides strong support for Java developers, which is needed to write Java code. Click here to know How to install Eclipse.

Step 3 – Setup Maven

To build a test framework, we need to add a number of dependencies to the project. It is a very tedious and cumbersome process to add each dependency manually. So, to overcome this problem, we use a build management tool. Maven is a build management tool that is used to define project structure, dependencies, build, and test management. Click here to know How to install Maven.

Step 4 – Install Cucumber Eclipse Plugin (Only for Eclipse IDE)

The Cucumber Eclipse plugin is a plugin that allows eclipse to understand the Gherkin syntax. The Cucumber Eclipse Plugin highlights the keywords present in Feature File. Click here to know more – Install Cucumber Eclipse Plugin.

Step 5 – Create a new Maven Project

Click here to know How to create a Maven project

Below is the Maven project structure. Here,

Group Id – com.example
Artifact Id – Cucumber7JUnit5Demo
Version – 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
Package – com. example. Cucumber7JUnit5Demo

Step 6 – Add Maven dependencies to the POM

Add the dependencies to the POM.xml.

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

	</build>
</project>

Step 7 – Create a feature file in src/test/resources

Below is a sample feature file. Feature file should be saved as an extension of .feature. Add the test scenarios in this feature file. I have added sample test scenarios. The test scenarios are written in Gherkins language.

@LoginPage
Feature: Login to HRM Application

Background:
    Given User is on HRMLogin page "https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/"

   @ValidCredentials
   Scenario: Login with valid credentials

    When User enters username as "Admin" and password as "admin123"
    Then User should be able to login successfully and new page open
    
   @InvalidCredentials
   Scenario Outline: Login with invalid credentials
     
    When User enters username as "<username>" and password as "<password>"
    Then User should be able to see error message "<errorMessage>"
    
  Examples:
  | username   | password    | errorMessage                      |
  | Admin        | admin12$$  | Invalid credentials               |
  | admin$$     | admin123    | Invalid credentials               |
  | abc123        | xyz$$           | Invalid credentials               |
  
    
  @FaceBookLink
  Scenario: Verify FaceBook Icon on Login Page
     
    Then User should be able to see FaceBook Icon
    
  @LinkedInLink
  Scenario: Verify LinkedIn Icon on Login Page
     
    Then User should be able to see LinkedIn Icon  
@ForgetPassword
Feature: Login to ForgotPassword Page

  Background:
    Given User is on HRMLogin page "https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/"

  @ForgetPasswordLink
  Scenario: Verify ForgetPassword link on Login Page

    When User clicks on Forgot your Password Link
    Then User should navigate to a new page

Step 8 – Create cucumber.properties file in src/test/resources

We need to create the junit-platform.properties file in the src/test/resources folder. Using a property file for reporting is quite helpful if you want to define several different properties.

cucumber.publish.enabled=true

Step 9 – Create a Helper class in src/main/java

We have used Page Object Model with Cucumber and TestNG. Create a Helper class where we are initializing the web driver, initializing the web driver wait, defining the timeouts, and creating a private constructor of the class, it will declare the web driver, so whenever we create an object of this class, a new web browser is invoked. 

import java.time.Duration;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

public class HelperClass {

	 private static HelperClass helperClass;
     
	    private static WebDriver driver;
	    public final static int TIMEOUT = 5;
	      
	     private HelperClass() {
	           
	        WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
			ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
			options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
	        driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
	        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(TIMEOUT));
	     }      
	              
	    public static void openPage(String url) {
	        driver.get(url);
	    }
	  	      
	    public static WebDriver getDriver() {
	        return driver;              
	    }
	      
	    public static void setUpDriver() {
	          
	        if (helperClass==null) {
	              
	            helperClass = new HelperClass();
	        }
	    }
	      
	    public static void tearDown() {
	           
	        if(driver!=null) {
	             driver.quit();
	        }
	           
	       helperClass = null;
	   } 
	      
	}

Step 10 – Create Locator classes in src/main/java

Create a locator class for each page that contains the detail of the locators of all the web elements. Here, I’m creating 3 locator classes – LoginPageLocators, HomePageLocators, and ForgotPasswordLocators.

LoginPageLocators

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBy;

public class LoginPageLocators {

	@FindBy(name = "username")
    public WebElement userName;
 
    @FindBy(name = "password")
    public WebElement password;
 
    @FindBy(id = "logInPanelHeading")
    public WebElement titleText;
 
    @FindBy(xpath = "//*[@id='app']/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[2]/form/div[3]/button")
    public WebElement login;
 
    @FindBy(xpath = "//*[@id='app']/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[1]/p")
    public  WebElement errorMessage;
    
    @FindBy(xpath = "//*[@href='https://www.linkedin.com/company/orangehrm/mycompany/']")
    public  WebElement linkedInIcon;
    
    @FindBy(xpath = "//*[@href='https://www.facebook.com/OrangeHRM/']")
    public  WebElement faceBookIcon;
    
    @FindBy(xpath = "//*[@id='app']/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[2]/form/div[4]/p")
    public  WebElement ForgotYourPasswordLink;
    
}

HomePageLocators

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBy;

public class HomePageLocators {

	@FindBy(xpath = "//*[@id='app']/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/h5")
	public  WebElement homePageUserName;
 
}

ForgotPasswordLocators

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBy;

public class ForgotPasswordLocators {
	
	@FindBy(xpath = "//*[@id='app']/div[1]/div[1]/div/form/h6")
    public WebElement ForgotPasswordHeading;

}

Step 11 – Create Action classes in src/main/java

Create the action classes for each web page. These action classes contain all the methods needed by the step definitions. In this case, I have created 2 action classes – LoginPageActions, HomePageActions, and ForgotPasswordActions.

LoginPageActions

In this class, the very first thing will do is to create the object of the LoginPageLocators class so that we should be able to access all the PageFactory elements. Secondly, create a public constructor of LoginPageActions class.

import org.openqa.selenium.support.PageFactory;
import com.example.locators.LoginPageLocators;
import com.example.utils.HelperClass;

public class LoginPageActions {

	LoginPageLocators loginPageLocators = null; 
	
    public LoginPageActions() {

    	this.loginPageLocators = new LoginPageLocators();

		PageFactory.initElements(HelperClass.getDriver(),loginPageLocators);
	}
 
	// Set user name in textbox
    public void setUserName(String strUserName) {
    	loginPageLocators.userName.sendKeys(strUserName);
    }
 
    // Set password in password textbox
    public void setPassword(String strPassword) {
    	loginPageLocators.password.sendKeys(strPassword);
    }
 
    // Click on login button
    public void clickLogin() {
    	loginPageLocators.login.click();
    }
 
    // Get the title of Login Page
    public String getLoginTitle() {
        return loginPageLocators.titleText.getText();
    }
       
    // Get the title of Login Page
    public String getErrorMessage() {
        return loginPageLocators.errorMessage.getText();
    }
    
    // LinkedIn Icon is displayed
    public Boolean getLinkedInIcon() {
   
        return loginPageLocators.linkedInIcon.isDisplayed();
    }
    
    // FaceBook Icon is displayed
    public Boolean getFaceBookIcon() {
   
        return loginPageLocators.faceBookIcon.isDisplayed();
    }
    
    // Click on Forget Your Password link
    public void clickOnForgetYourPasswordLink() {
    	
    	loginPageLocators.ForgotYourPasswordLink.click();
    }
 
    public void login(String strUserName, String strPassword) {
 
        // Fill user name
        this.setUserName(strUserName);
 
        // Fill password
        this.setPassword(strPassword);
 
        // Click Login button
        this.clickLogin();
 
    }
}

HomePageActions

import org.openqa.selenium.support.PageFactory;
import com.example.locators.HomePageLocators;
import com.example.utils.HelperClass;

public class HomePageActions {

	HomePageLocators homePageLocators = null;
   
	public HomePageActions() {
    	
		this.homePageLocators = new HomePageLocators();

		PageFactory.initElements(HelperClass.getDriver(),homePageLocators);
    }

    // Get the User name from Home Page
    public String getHomePageText() {
        return homePageLocators.homePageUserName.getText();
    }

}

ForgotPasswordActions

import org.openqa.selenium.support.PageFactory;
import com.example.locators.ForgotPasswordLocators;
import com.example.utils.HelperClass;

public class ForgotPasswordActions {
	
	ForgotPasswordLocators forgotPasswordLocators = null;
	   
	public ForgotPasswordActions() {
    	
		this.forgotPasswordLocators = new ForgotPasswordLocators();

		PageFactory.initElements(HelperClass.getDriver(),forgotPasswordLocators);
    }

 
    // Get the Heading of Forgot Password page
    public String getForgotPasswordPageText() {
        return forgotPasswordLocators.ForgotPasswordHeading.getText();
    }
}

Step 12 – Create a Step Definition file in src/test/java

Create the corresponding Step Definition file of the feature file.

LoginPageDefinitions

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions;
import com.example.actions.ForgotPasswordActions;
import com.example.actions.HomePageActions;
import com.example.actions.LoginPageActions;
import com.example.utils.HelperClass;
import io.cucumber.java.en.Given;
import io.cucumber.java.en.Then;
import io.cucumber.java.en.When;

public class LoginPageDefinitions{	

	LoginPageActions objLogin = new LoginPageActions();
    HomePageActions objHomePage = new HomePageActions();
    ForgotPasswordActions objForgotPasswordPage = new ForgotPasswordActions();
 
    @Given("User is on HRMLogin page {string}")
    public void loginTest(String url) {
    	
    	HelperClass.openPage(url);
 
    }
 
    @When("User enters username as {string} and password as {string}")
    public void goToHomePage(String userName, String passWord) {
 
        // login to application
        objLogin.login(userName, passWord);
 
        // go the next page
        
    }
    
    @When("User clicks on Forgot your Password Link")
    public void goToForgotYourPasswordPage() {
    	
    	objLogin.clickOnForgetYourPasswordLink();
    	
    }
 
    @Then("User should be able to login sucessfully and new page open")
    public void verifyLogin() {
 
        // Verify home page
        Assertions.assertTrue(objHomePage.getHomePageText().contains("Employee Information"));
 
    }
    
    @Then("User should be able to see error message {string}")
    public void verifyErrorMessage(String expectedErrorMessage) {
 
        // Verify home page
    	Assertions.assertEquals(objLogin.getErrorMessage(),expectedErrorMessage);
 
    }
    
    @Then("User should be able to see LinkedIn Icon")
    public void verifyLinkedInIcon( ) {
    	
    	Assertions.assertTrue(objLogin.getLinkedInIcon());
    }
    
    @Then("User should be able to see FaceBook Icon")
    public void verifyFaceBookIcon( ) {
    	
    	Assertions.assertTrue(objLogin.getFaceBookIcon());
    }
    
    @Then("User should navigate to a new page")
    public void verfiyForgetYourPasswordPage() {
    	
   	Assertions.assertEquals(objForgotPasswordPage.getForgotPasswordPageText(), "Reset Password");
    }
      
}

Step 13 – Create Hook class in src/test/java

Create the hook class that contains the Before and After hook to initialize the web browser and close the web browser.

import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;
import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;
import com.example.utils.HelperClass;
import io.cucumber.java.After;
import io.cucumber.java.Before;
import io.cucumber.java.Scenario;

public class Hooks {
		
	@Before
    public static void setUp() {

       HelperClass.setUpDriver();
    }

	@After
	public static void tearDown(Scenario scenario) {

		//validate if scenario has failed
		if(scenario.isFailed()) {
			final byte[] screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot) HelperClass.getDriver()).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BYTES);
			scenario.attach(screenshot, "image/png", scenario.getName()); 
		}	
		
		HelperClass.tearDown();
	}
}

Step 14 – Create a Cucumber Test Runner class in src/test/java

Cucumber needs a TestRunner class to run the feature files. It is suggested to create a folder with the name of the runner in the src/test/java directory and create the Cucumber TestRunner class in this folder. Below is the code of the Cucumber TestRunner class.

import static io.cucumber.junit.platform.engine.Constants.GLUE_PROPERTY_NAME;
import org.junit.platform.suite.api.ConfigurationParameter;
import org.junit.platform.suite.api.IncludeEngines;
import org.junit.platform.suite.api.SelectClasspathResource;
import org.junit.platform.suite.api.Suite;

@Suite
@IncludeEngines("cucumber")
@SelectClasspathResource("com.example")
@ConfigurationParameter(key = GLUE_PROPERTY_NAME, value = "com.example")
 
public class CucumberRunnerTests  {
 
}

Step 15 – Run the tests from Maven or Command Line

Use the below command to run the tests.

mvn clean verify 

Step 16 – Cucumber Report Generation

Below is the image of the Cucumber Report generated using the Cucumber Service.

The complete code can be found on GitHub.

Congratulations!! We have built the framework using Cucumber 7 with JUnit5.

Integration of Cucumber with Selenium and TestNG

Last Updated on

HOME

Cucumber is a BDD Tool, and Selenium WebDriver is used for the automation of web applications. Imagine we need to build a test framework. This framework can be used by businesses to understand the test scenarios. It can also test the web application. This can be achieved by integrating Cucumber with Selenium. I’m going to use TestNG as the Test Automation tool for assertions. In the previous tutorial, I used Cucumber with Page Object Model. To know more about this, please refer to this tutorial – Page Object Model with Selenium, Cucumber, and TestNG.

In this tutorial, I’ll create a BDD Framework for the testing of web applications. I will use Cucumber, Selenium WebDriver, Maven and TestNG.

Table of Contents:

Dependency List:

  1. Cucumber Java- 7.15.0
  2. Cucumber TestNG – 7.15.0
  3. Java 17
  4. TestNG – 7.10.0
  5. Maven – 3.9.6
  6. Selenium – 4.16.1
  7. Maven Compiler Plugin- 3.12.1
  8. Maven Surefire Plugin – 3.2.3

To build a test framework, we need to add a number of dependencies to the project. It is a very tedious and cumbersome process to add each dependency manually. So, to overcome this problem, we use a build management tool. Maven is a build management tool that is used to define project structure, dependencies, build, and test management. Click here to know How to install Maven.

Step 4 – Install Cucumber Eclipse Plugin (Only for Eclipse IDE)

The Cucumber Eclipse plugin is a plugin that allows eclipse to understand the Gherkin syntax. The Cucumber Eclipse Plugin highlights the keywords present in Feature File. Click here to know more – How to install Cucumber Eclipse Plugin

Step 5 – Download and install TestNG plugin

TestNG plugin is needed to run the tests as TestNG tests as mentioned in step 13. Click here to know – How to download and install TestNG in Eclipse.

Step 6 – Create a new Maven Project

Click here to know How to create a Maven project

Below is the Maven project structure. Here,

Group Id – com.example
Artifact Id – Cucumber_TestNG_Demo
Version – 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
Package – com. example. Cucumber_TestNG_Demo

Step 7 – Create source folder src/test/resources to create test scenarios in Feature file

When a new Maven Project is created, it has 2 folders – src/main/java and src/test/java as shown below image. To create test scenarios, we need a new source folder called – src/test/resources. To create this folder, right-click on your maven project ->select New ->Java, and then Source Folder.

Step 8 – Add Selenium, TestNG, and Cucumber dependencies to the project

Add the below-mentioned Selenium, TestNG, and Cucumber dependencies to the project.

 <properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <cucumber.version>7.15.0</cucumber.version>
    <selenium.version>4.16.1</selenium.version>
    <testng.version>7.10.0</testng.version>
    <maven.compiler.plugin.version>3.12.1</maven.compiler.plugin.version>
    <maven.surefire.plugin.version>3.2.3</maven.surefire.plugin.version>
    <maven.compiler.source.version>17</maven.compiler.source.version>
    <maven.compiler.target.version>17</maven.compiler.target.version>
  </properties>

    <dependencies>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
            <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
            <version>${cucumber.version}</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
            <artifactId>cucumber-testng</artifactId>
            <version>${cucumber.version}</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

        <!-- Selenium -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
            <version>${selenium.version}</version>
        </dependency>

        <!-- TestNG -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
            <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
            <version>${testng.version}</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

    </dependencies>

Step 9 – Add Maven Compiler Plugin and SureFire Plugin

The compiler plugin is used to compile the source code of a Maven project. This plugin has two goals, which are already bound to specific phases of the default lifecycle:

  • compile – compile main source files
  • testCompile – compile test source files
<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${maven.compiler.plugin.version}</version>
                <configuration>
                    <source>${maven.compiler.source.version}</source>
                    <target>${maven.compiler.target.version}</target>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${maven.surefire.plugin.version}</version>
                <configuration>
                    <suiteXmlFiles>
                        <suiteXmlFile>testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
                    </suiteXmlFiles>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

If you don’t add a compiler plugin to the POM.xml, the build will fail. This happens when you try to run the tests through Maven.
Then the build will fail with the below message.

The complete POM.xml is shown below.

      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

</project>

Step 10 – Create a feature file under src/test/resources/features

It is recommended to create a features folder in the src/test/resources directory. Create all the feature files in this features folder. Feature file should be saved as an extension of .feature. The test scenarios in the Feature file are written in Gherkins language. Add the test scenarios in this feature file. I have added sample test scenarios.

Feature: Login to HRM Application 

Background: 
   Given User is on HRMLogin page "https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/"
 
   @ValidCredentials
   Scenario: Login with valid credentials
     
    When User enters username as "Admin" and password as "admin123"
    Then User should be able to login sucessfully and new page open
    
   @InvalidCredentials
   Scenario Outline: Login with invalid credentials
     
    When User enters username as "<username>" and password as "<password>"
    Then User should be able to see error message "<errorMessage>"
    
  Examples:
   | username   | password     | errorMessage                       |
   | Admin        | admin12$$   | Invalid credentials               |
   | admin$$     | admin123     | Invalid credentials               |
   | abc123        | xyz$$           | Invalid credentials               |

Step 11 – Create the step definition class in src/test/java

Create the step definition class corresponding to the feature file to test the scenarios in the src/test/java directory. The StepDefinition files should be created in this definitions directory within the folder called definitions.

Below is the step definition of the LoginPage feature file.

package com.example.definitions;

import io.cucumber.java.After;
import io.cucumber.java.Before;
import io.cucumber.java.en.Given;
import io.cucumber.java.en.Then;
import io.cucumber.java.en.When;
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.testng.Assert;
import java.time.Duration;

public class LoginPageDefinitions {
    private static WebDriver driver;
    public final static int TIMEOUT = 5;

    @Before
    public void setUp() {

        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
        driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(TIMEOUT));

    }

    @Given("User is on HRMLogin page {string}")
    public void loginTest(String url) {

        driver.get(url);

    }

    @When("User enters username as {string} and password as {string}")
    public void goToHomePage(String userName, String passWord) {

        // login to application
        driver.findElement(By.name("username")).sendKeys(userName);
        driver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys(passWord);
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@class='oxd-form']/div[3]/button")).submit();

    }

    @Then("User should be able to login successfully and new page open")
    public void verifyLogin() {

        String homePageHeading = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@class='oxd-topbar-header-breadcrumb']/h6")).getText();

        //Verify new page - HomePage
        Assert.assertEquals(homePageHeading, "Dashboard");

    }

    @Then("User should be able to see error message {string}")
    public void verifyErrorMessage(String expectedErrorMessage) {

        String actualErrorMessage = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@class='orangehrm-login-error']/div[1]/div[1]/p")).getText();

        // Verify Error Message
        Assert.assertEquals(actualErrorMessage, expectedErrorMessage);

    }

    @After
    public void teardown() {

        driver.quit();
    }

}

assertThat() and containsString are imported from package:-

import static org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert.assertThat;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.containsString;

Step 12 – Create a TestNG Cucumber Runner class in src/test/java

We need to create a class called Runner class to run the tests. This class will use the TestNG annotation @RunWith(), which tells TestNG what is the test runner class. TestRunner should be created under src/test/java within the folder called runner.

import io.cucumber.testng.AbstractTestNGCucumberTests;
import io.cucumber.testng.CucumberOptions;
   
@CucumberOptions(tags = "", features = {"src/test/resources/features/LoginPage.feature"}, glue = {"com.example.definitions"},
                 plugin = {})
   
public class CucumberRunnerTests extends AbstractTestNGCucumberTests {
   
}

Step 13 – Test Execution through TestNG

Go to the Runner class and right-click “Run As TestNG Test”. The tests will run as TestNG tests. This is for Eclipse.

In case you are using IntelliJ, then select “Run CucumberRunner Tests“.

This is what the execution console will look like in Eclipse.

Step 14 – Run the tests from TestNG.xml

Create a TestNG.xml as shown below and run the tests as TestNG.

Below is an example of testng.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "https://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="Suite">
  <test  name="Cucumber with TestNG Test">
    <classes>
      <class name="com.example.runner.CucumberRunnerTests"/>
    </classes>
  </test> <!-- Test -->
</suite> <!-- Suite -->

Step 15 – Run the tests from the Command Line

Run the below command in the command prompt to run the tests and to get the test execution report.

mvn clean test

The execution screen looks like something as shown below.

Step 16 – Cucumber Report Generation

Add cucumber.properties under src/test/resources and add the below instructions in the file.

cucumber.publish.enabled=true

Below is the image of the Cucumber Report generated using the Cucumber Service.

Step 17 – TestNG Report Generation

TestNG generates various types of reports under the test-output or target folder like emailable-report.html, index.html, testng-results.xml.

We are interested in the ‘emailable-report.html’ report. Open “emailable-report.html“, as this is an HTML report, and open it with the browser. The below image shows emailable-report.html.

emailable-report.html

Index.html

TestNG also produces “index.html” report, and it resides under the test-output folder. The below image shows the index.html report.
