LeanFT and Selenium Compatibility? - selenium

Question

I would like to know if Selenium and LeanFT can play nicely together. I don't know if anyone has tried to do this yet, but I think if it can work, LeanFT can provide some supplementary benefits to the selenium framework.
As I understand it currently, the limitations of Selenium are:
Selenium MUST open the initial browser to recognize it
Selenium MUST open all popups to recognize them.
Selenium WebDriver may become stale while waiting for non-Selenium procedures.
I have attempted the object flow UML for both HP's suggested model and my own idea of how this might work.
The Control flow would be something like:
#Before -> globalSetup (LeanFT init)
#BeforeClass -> testSetup (LeanFT init)
#BeforeClass -> getSeleniumDriver (Selenium)
#Test -> some selenium procedures
/**** To prevent Selenium from dying. ****/
#Test -> new Thread -> run leanFTsnippet1()
#Test -> resume selenium final steps..
#After -> reporting, closing Webdriver
Here is some of my current code from an example Test Class.
#BeforeClass
public static void beforeLFTClass() throws Exception {
globalSetup(CoreFunctionality.class);
}
#AfterClass
public static void afterLFTClass() throws Exception {
globalTearDown();
}
#Test
public void runLeanFtThread() {
// put selenium code here
// ...
// begin leanft part of test
Thread leanftThread = new Thread( new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
test();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
leanftThread.start();
try {
leanftThread.join();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void test() throws Exception {
//Starting Browser
Browser browser = BrowserFactory.attach(new BrowserDescription.Builder().title(driver.getTitle()).build());
Assert.assertEquals(browser.getTitle(), driver.getTitle());
}
Anyways, its a pretty interesting problem. Would really love to see what you guys think.
Thanks!

Answer 1

They indeed play nicely together. I have been using them in my scripts and I like to utilize the powers of each tool. What I have done is create a LeanFT test template and add the Selenium libraries to it.
Here is a sample code:
using System;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using HP.LFT.SDK;
using HP.LFT.SDK.Web;
using Search_Regression_Test;
using TestAutomationReporting;
using UnifiedFramework;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Diagnostics;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
using Selenium = OpenQA.Selenium;
namespace Search_Regression_Test
{
[TestClass]
public class LeanFtTest : UnitTestClassBase<LeanFtTest>
{
static IBrowser browser;
static IWebDriver chromeDriver;
[ClassInitialize]
public static void ClassInitialize(TestContext context)
{
GlobalSetup(context);
ChromeOptions CO = new ChromeOptions();
CO.AddExtension(#"C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\LeanFT\Installations\Chrome\Agent.crx");
chromeDriver = new ChromeDriver(CO);
chromeDriver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
browser = BrowserFactory.Attach(new BrowserDescription
{
Type = BrowserType.Chrome
});
.... and so on.

The new Version of LeanFT (14) even brings some explicit Selenium-integration: You can select Selenium as your automation SDK in the project creation wizard, there is a Selenium-specific Object Identification Center, and some additional locators and utilities. Full story here: LeanFT for Selenium.

I'm not entirely sure why this question doesn't have an accepted answer yet, but I'm going to take a stab at answering this with a sample that highlights once more that LeanFT and Selenium are playing nicely together
It's written in Java. Probably it can be optimized a bit, but it should clearly show how you can achieve simultaneous interaction with the same browser.
(The Java Project was created from LeanFT templates. UnitTestClassBase class comes from there. It basically initializes LeanFT and the reporter behind the scenes. To get around it if you don't want to use it you'd have to call SDK.init(), Reporter.init(), Reporter.generateReport() and SDK.cleanup() as needed - check the docs for details)
