How can I run the same test on browserstack and local browsers? - selenium

Question

I've set up NUnit tests that runs on BrowserStack (set up from this example https://github.com/browserstack/nunit-browserstack )
Base class:
namespace Bloc.TestProject
{
public class BrowserStackNUnitTest
{
protected IWebDriver driver;
protected string profile;
protected string environment;
private Local browserStackLocal;
public BrowserStackNUnitTest(string profile, string environment)
{
this.profile = profile;
this.environment = environment;
}
[SetUp]
public void Init()
{
...
Browserstack tests:
namespace Bloc.TestProject
{
[TestFixture("parallel", "chrome")]
[TestFixture("parallel", "ie11")]
[TestFixture("parallel", "iphoneX")]
[TestFixture("parallel", "ipad")]
[TestFixture("parallel", "samsungGalaxyS8")]
[Parallelizable(ParallelScope.Fixtures)]
public class OnTimeOnlineBooking : BrowserStackNUnitTest
{
WebDriverWait wait;
public OnTimeOnlineBooking(string profile, string environment) : base(profile, environment)
{
}
... my tests ...
Local tests:
namespace Bloc.TestProject
{
[TestFixture(typeof(PhantomJSDriver))]
public class LocalBrowserTest<TWebDriver> where TWebDriver : IWebDriver, new()
{
private IWebDriver driver;
[SetUp]
public void CreateDriver()
{
this.driver = new TWebDriver();
}
[TearDown]
public void Cleanup()
{
driver.Quit();
}
... my tests ...
Is there any way I can structure my tests so that I can run a test and it'll run both locally and on browserstack without having to duplicate the test code?

Answer 1

I can Suggest a workaround for this case in Java, needs to change in C#.
write the code of browser-stack setup
public static browserstack_setup() {
DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("browserName", "chrome");
caps.setCapability("version", "");
caps.setCapability("platform", "windows");
caps.setCapability("os_version", "8.1");
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(URL), caps);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
}
then write code for launch browser
public void openbrowser(String browsername, String URL){
if(browsername.equalsIgnoreCase("broserstack")){
browserstack_setup();
}else if(browsername.equalsIgnoreCase("CH")){
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",chromedriverpath);
driver=new ChromeDriver();
driver.get(URL);
}
}

You may fetch the name from test context and based on that information, launch the local driver or remote driver. For the repo and you example, I assume the below code should work. You may also want to look at other APIs available under TestContext.CurrentContext.Test for your comparison operation
[SetUp]
public void Init()
{
if(TestContext.CurrentContext.Test.Name == "MyTestName"){
this.driver = new TWebDriver();
}
else{
NameValueCollection caps = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("capabilities/" + profile) as NameValueCollection;
NameValueCollection settings = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("environments/" + environment) as NameValueCollection;
DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
foreach (string key in caps.AllKeys)
{
capability.SetCapability(key, caps[key]);
}
foreach (string key in settings.AllKeys)
{
capability.SetCapability(key, settings[key]);
}
String username = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME");
if(username == null)
{
username = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("user");
}
String accesskey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY");
if (accesskey == null)
{
accesskey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("key");
}
capability.SetCapability("browserstack.user", username);
capability.SetCapability("browserstack.key", accesskey);
if (capability.GetCapability("browserstack.local") != null && capability.GetCapability("browserstack.local").ToString() == "true")
{
browserStackLocal = new Local();
List<KeyValuePair<string, string>> bsLocalArgs = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>();
bsLocalArgs.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("key", accesskey));
browserStackLocal.start(bsLocalArgs);
}
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://"+ ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("server") +"/wd/hub/"), capability);
}
}
You need to ensure you have specified test fixtures for running on Local and Grid. For example, if test A on Safari on Grid and test A on local browser
