selenium - jUnit4 - selenium

Question

I am trying to run the below code but in vain.
Code is not compiling and giving error as "selenium cannot be resolved".
Can anyone look into the below code -
package com.example.tests;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class prashantk {
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*chrome", "http://book.theautomatedtester.co.uk/");
selenium.start();
}
#Test
public void testAuto_1() throws Exception {
selenium.open("/chapter2");
verifyEquals("Button with name", selenium.getValue("name=but2"));
verifyEquals("chocolate", selenium.getValue("xpath=(//input[#name='verifybutton'])[2]"));
selenium.click("link=Index");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("60000");
verifyTrue(selenium.isTextPresent("Chapter4"));
}
#After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
}
}

Answer 1

You have references to a field named selenium, but there is no such field defined.
Somewhere in your class, probably on a line just before the #Before, you want to add this field:
Selenium selenium;
Apparently from comments you also don't have the methods verifyEquals and verifyTrue referenced in your code. Those methods are defined in a base class SeleneseTestCase which your test should extend:
public class prashantk extends SeleneseTestCase {

Answer 2

Replace the below line in your code as shown below
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*chrome", "http://book.theautomatedtester.co.uk/");
to
DefaultSelenium selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*chrome", "http://book.theautomatedtester.co.uk/");

Answer 3

Looking at code gives an impression it was done in Selenium IDE first the exported to a tool like eclipse.
I really don't think 'verifyEquals' exist in WebDriver instead use JUnit assertions or Hamcrest assertions. Try to write your code from scratch in Java its a lot less hassle.
