How to continue test execution after assertion failed? - selenium

Question

I know that this question is duplicate one. But I am searching for the result from yesterday. I didn't got any solution for that..
I am using Selenium Webdriver 2.47.1 & TestNG for automation. In my automation script I have 12 set of tests & I am using TestNG Assert method to compare Expected Result & Actual Result. My code format is given below...
#Test(priority = 6)
public void TestingeNote1() {
cd.switchTo().frame("RTop");
cd.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
String TesteNote1 = cd.findElement(By.xpath("//table/tbody/tr[2]/td[5]")).getText();
StringBuffer object1 = new StringBuffer(TesteNote1);
String ActeNote1 = object1.substring(108);
String ExpeNote1 = ex.getExcelValue(scenarioName, 75, 4);
try {
Assert.assertEquals(ExpeNote1, ActeNote1);
ex.setExcelValue(scenarioName, 75, 8, "PASSED");
}
catch(Exception e) {
ex.setExcelValue(scenarioName, 75, 8, "FAILED");
}
cd.switchTo().defaultContent();
}
Execution of test script stops once assertion got failed. I want to continue the execution after assertion fail also. I have used Verify() also, It just gives the verify result as passed. But the above test result is Failed one.

Answer 1

I'd recommend using a try/finally block.
.
.
.
try {
//use IF condition to match Strings (ExpeNote1, ActeNote1)are equal
ex.setExcelValue(scenarioName, 75, 8, "PASSED");
}
catch(Exception e)
{ ex.setExcelValue(scenarioName, 75, 8, "FAILED");}
finally { cd.switchTo().defaultContent();}

Answer 2

Use try catch block with proper exception catcher. For example when you try to catch a normal exception use exception in the catch block, if the element is not present in the DOM then use NoSuchElementException etc... In your case catch the exception that you are getting in your error console. Here's how -
try {
Assert.assertEquals(ExpeNote1, ActeNote1);
ex.setExcelValue(scenarioName, 75, 8, "PASSED");
}
catch(AssertionError e) {
ex.setExcelValue(scenarioName, 75, 8, "FAILED");
}
Your execution stops because you are not catching the proper exception that your assert statement throws. I guess you are getting an AssertionError, if not replace the exception type you get from your code above. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Use soft asserts. It will continue test even after one assertion failed.
SoftAssert softAssert = new SoftAssert();
String ActualErrorMEssage = firstNameerrorXpath.getText;
String ActualErrorMEssage2 = secondNameNameerrorXpath.getText;
softAssert.assertEquals(ActualErrorMEssage,ExpectedErrorMEssage);
softAssert.assertEquals(ActualErrorMEssage2,ExpectedErrorMEssage);
softAssert.assertAll();
