I'm learning to use the above testing software and was just wondering if there is any way so that selenium detects whatever browser the user is using rather then a specific driver having to be defined i.e.
private WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver()
Another quick question is how can I loop a test so that it repeats a set number of time?
Try using QAF. It has all configuration out side the code. For example you don't need to specify which driver you need to initiate in code instead you can provide as property in property file or in run configuration file like:
driver.name=firefoxDriver
There are lots of features specific to web, mobile web and native automation.
Here you can find step-by-step-tutorial to start with.
If you were using Java you could specify the browser in a properties file.
Failing that, you could use an environment variable.
Or you could put your choice in a file in your file system and read the value.
Lots of choices.

I have developed one selenium webdriver script in JMeter. My script is running well but it stuck at one scenario. I am not able to upload/file/files in Dropzone from my system.
I tried below code but it is not working. What is right way to do that with Java/Javascript-Selenium in JMeter.
var chooseFile = WDS.browser.findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By.id("formImportFilesDropZone"));
WDS.browser.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(1000, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
chooseFile.sendKeys("C:\Users\RIDE.txt");
I think you need to escape the back slashes with another instance of backslash like:
chooseFile.sendKeys("C:\\Users\\RIDE.txt");
or just use forward slashes:
chooseFile.sendKeys("C:/Users/RIDE.txt");
You may also need to specify fully qualified class name for the TimeUnit like:
WDS.browser.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(1000, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Also get used to look at jmeter.log file, normally it contains if not the reason of failure or misbehaviour but at least a clue.
Once window explorer is opened, you can use send Keys method to send the path of the file and then again use send Keys method to send Enter key.
I am writing UI automation script using karate DSL. In this at certain point I need to get value from network call in chrome. I want to interact with one of the webservice call in chrome devtools network tab and get the json response of that webservice.
I need this because I have to extract the value from that particular call and pass it on to the next step in my automation script.
I have seen the question related to sessionStorage(Is there a way of getting a sessionStorage using Karate DSL?) but I wonder how to do the same for network call using script command or any other way?
The first thing I would recommend is don't forget that Karate is an API testing tool at its core. Maybe all you need to do is manually make that call and get the response. You should be able to scrape the HTML and get the host and parameters needed.
That said - there's a new feature (only for Chrome) which is documented here: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/develop/karate-core#intercepting-http-requests - and is available in 0.9.6.RC2
It may not directly solve for what you want, but in a Karate mock, you should be able to set a value for use later e.g. by using a Java singleton or writing to a temp-file.
If there is something oddly more specific you need, please contribute code to Karate. Finally, there is an experimental way in which you can actually make raw requests to the Chrome DevTools session: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/develop/examples/ui-test#devtools-protocol-tips - it is for advanced users, but maybe you are one :)
Is there a way to send a mail with result file (I set this file in console command with option --result) after running.
I have run my selenium test cases in following way
How to Schedule Selenium Web Drivers Tests in C#
The result file was created after OneTimeTearDown function.
If sending an e-mail into OneTimeTearDown function - the result file comes incomplete
Thanks in advance
Sangeetha P.
I'm not sure I'd actually recommend doing this - but I think it's possible. Personally, I'd instead handle the email sending outside of the NUnit console, in a separate script in your CI System.
Anyway. You could achieve this by writing your own ResultWriter extension. Take a look at the implementation of the standard NUnit3XmlResultWriter as an idea - you'd essentially want the same thing, except to send the file by email, rather than write a file. (You may even want to make your ResultWriter actually inherit the NUnit3XmlResultWriter class.)
in a continuous integration build environment when running several Selenium tests in parallel (using Firefox driver) for different applications and each tests records its screenshots after every "action" (e.g. navigating to a page, submitting a form etc.) it seems like that whichever application window pops up that one gets on the top of the z-axis and will have the focus.
So using the method getScreenshotAs() from the Selenium API to record images results in mixed up screenshots sometimes showing one application and sometimes the other application.
Recording the HTML responses with getPageSource() on the other hand seems to work correctly using the Firefox driver instance "bound" to the test.
Is there any solution how to deal with the mixed up image screenshots? Is there a possibility how to ensure that getScreenshotAs() only consideres its own Firefox driver instance? Thanks for any hints!

I don't know what flavor of selenium you are using but here is a reference to the API that looks like it would fix your problem, but I have never tested it.
http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/dotnet/index.html
What that link shows is the IWrapDriver which according to the documentation Gets the IWebDriver used to find this element.
So from my understanding you could set your IWebDriver in your method and then wrapit with the IWrapDriver and then use that to reference for you getScreenShotAs();
I am putting together some ideas for our automated testing platform and have been looking at Selenium for the test runner.
I am wrapping the recorded Selenium C# scripts in an MbUnit test, which is being triggered via the MbUnit NAnt task. The Selenium test client is created as follows:
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("host", 4444, "*iexplore", "http://[url]/");
How can I pass the host, port and url settings into the test so their values can be controlled via the NAnt task?
For example, I may have multiple Selenium RC servers listening and I want to use the same test code passing in each server address instead of embedding the settings within the tests themselves.
I have an approach mocked up using a custom NAnt task I have written but it is not the most elegant solution at present and I wondered if there was an easier way to accomplish what I want to do.
Many thanks if anyone can help.
Thanks for the responses so far.
Environment variables could work, however, we could be running parallel tests via a single test assembly so I wouldn't want settings to be overwritten during execution, which could break another test. Interesting line of thought though, thanks, I reckon I could use that in other areas.
My current solution involves a custom NAnt task build on top of the MbUnit task, which allows me to specify the additional host, port, url settings as attributes. These are then saved as a config file within the build directory and then read in by the test assemblies. This feels a bit "clunky" to me as my tests need to inherit from a specific class. Not too bad but I'd like to have less dependencies and concentrate on the testing.
Maybe I am worrying too much!!
I have a base class for all test fixtures which has the following setup code:
[FixtureSetUp]
public virtual void TestFixtureSetup ()
{
BrowserType = (BrowserType) Enum.Parse (typeof (BrowserType),
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["BrowserType"],
true);
testMachine = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["TestMachine"];
seleniumPort = int.Parse (System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SeleniumPort"],
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
seleniumSpeed = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SeleniumSpeed"];
browserUrl = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["BrowserUrl"];
targetUrl = new Uri (System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["TargetUrl"]);
string browserExe;
switch (BrowserType)
{
case BrowserType.InternetExplorer:
browserExe = "*iexplore";
break;
case BrowserType.Firefox:
browserExe = "*firefox";
break;
default:
throw new NotSupportedException ();
}
selenium = new DefaultSelenium (testMachine, seleniumPort, browserExe, browserUrl);
selenium.Start ();
System.Console.WriteLine ("Started Selenium session (browser type={0})",
browserType);
// sets the speed of execution of GUI commands
if (false == String.IsNullOrEmpty (seleniumSpeed))
selenium.SetSpeed (seleniumSpeed);
}
I then simply supply the test runner with a config. file:
For MSBuild I use environment variables, I create those in my CC.NET config then they would be available in the script. I think this would work for you too.
Anytime I need to integrate with an external entity using NAnt I either end up using the exec task or writing a custom task. Given the information you posted it would seem that writing your own would indeed be a good solution, However you state you're not happy with it. Can you elaborate a bit on why you don't think you current solution is an elegant one?
Update
Not knowing internal details it seems like you've solved it pretty well with a custom task. From what I've heard, that's how I would have done it.
Maybe a new solution will show itself in time, but for now be light on yourself!
