In my selenium test suite (html), I define a first test case to initialize variable called in the next test case.
Sample :
In first script :
store|//div[#id="myfield"]|myvar
In my second script :
type|${myvar}|myvalue
But when I start test runner (from maven), it returns an error telling that ${myvar} is not found
The value contained in the stored var is not used.
Any suggestion ?
Thans a lot
Maybe you could use cookies to store variable?
createCookie is in selenium and to read it you might use javascrpt(getEval)
As far as I know you cannot reference variables declared in a different test when running HTML suites.
What you need is Test and/or Suite "Setup" and "Teardown" functionality.
Test setup and teardown happen before and after each test. Suite setup and teardown only happen once, before and after the suite is run.
As you are using Maven, I assume that your development is in Java, so you could use JUnit
http://www.junit.org/
This has both test and suite setup and teardown:
Test Setup
http://kentbeck.github.com/junit/javadoc/latest/org/junit/Before.html
Test Teardown
http://kentbeck.github.com/junit/javadoc/latest/org/junit/After.html
Suite Setup
http://kentbeck.github.com/junit/javadoc/latest/org/junit/BeforeClass.html
Suite Teardown
http://kentbeck.github.com/junit/javadoc/latest/org/junit/AfterClass.html
I've created separate tests in Selenium IDE and then batched them in a test suite
After that ... when I ran them, the ${variable_name} stored in test 1 works fine in test 2.

The current version of selenium test runner doesn't pass variables from test to test like the IDE does. There is a javascript work around, check out Nick G's post on http://jira.openqa.org/browse/SEL-605

We have some generic test cases in Azure DevOps that are included in multiple test suites. When you run a test case for a web app, the test runner window displays the test case ID and name but not the test suite name. Our client is finding this is leading to some confusion as to what is actually being tested. is there a way to display the test suite name as well as the test case name? I've just discovered that you can use parameters in a test case so I'm about to investigate that, but I think that it may apply only to steps and not the title.
For the record, I have decided to use configurations for this. It's more of a workaround than a solution, because it means creating lots of configurations and assigning them to test suites and also that configurations can't be used for other purposes.
my problem is that I made two test cases which are perfectly fine and working nicely, however I need to run second one only if first one fails. How can I do that? I'm using RIDE Robotframework and working on IE, because of legacy app.
What you can do is make tests:
Test A passes.
Test A fails.
Test A fails and runs test B.
However I'd prefer you wouldn't do that. Usually tests should be logically separate. If you could you would run all of them on parallel.
If a test fails you shouldn't be concerned with testing other stuff at that point. You should fix the first test. Otherwise you will go in a rabbit hole of tests.
You can't do what you want. At least, not directly. Robot provides no way to add additional tests after the tests have started running.
However, if instead of "run second one" you say "run a special keyword", you can move the functionality to a keyword and call it in a test teardown using Run keyword if test failed
*** Keywords ***
On test teardown
run keyword if test failed
... log BUMMER! WARN
*** Test Cases ***
Passing test
[Teardown] On test teardown
log hello, world
Failing test
[Teardown] On test teardown
fail this test has failed.
You could use Pass Execution If keyword with suite variables. This is not perfect solution because Test B is still logged as passed.
*** Test Cases ***
Test A
Set Suite Variable ${a_passed} ${FALSE}
Fail This case failed
Set Suite Variable ${a_passed} ${TRUE}
Test B
Pass Execution If ${a_passed} A passed so skipping B
Log To Console Running Test B
I'm running 11 test scenarios on 3 different system all together parallely.
S1: Win7 Firefox46.0
S2: Win10 Chrome58.0
S3: Mac Safari9.0
After completion I can see the test failure in TestNG report but I can't track in which system the scenario is failed.
Is there any way so that I can track in which system or environment test failed.
How do yo execute the test cases? Do you do it in your build with CI-System, IDE?
On the selenium website https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/Grid2 is described how to surrender capabilities on the grid. You could deliver them as String variables and looking for their values in case of failing.
Maybe this could help you?
Using TestNG it can be very easy: Just put the browser name as a parameter into a data provider and print it in your stacktrace. It can be shortened like: "ch" for Chrome or "ff" for Firefox.
A control variable like can be useful for you if you decide to run a test case in another browser tommorow.
Suppose I have 10 test cases in my Test suite and when I execute the Test suite I get an error for test case no.7.
Now is there any way that I can restart my execution from test case no.7 after correcting the changes?
I'm using TestNG.
Do we have recovery scenarios in Selenium?
TestNG generates .xml configuration with failed tests http://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html#rerunning
Or you can use org.testng.IRetryAnalyzer which runs failed tests again and you have more control over it.
Example here http://seleniumeasy.com/testng-tutorials/execute-only-failed-test-cases-using-iretryanalyzer.
Yes you can do that if you are using Eclipse IDE. Click on the arrow just before test class name, it will show you all the methods(test cases) of that test class. Right click on the one which you want to run. It will run that specific test only.
I'm using Selenium IDE 2.3.0 to record actions in my web application and create tests.
Before every test I have to clear all cookies, load the main page, log in with a specific user and submit the login form. These ~10 commands are fix and every test case needs them, but I don't want to record or copy them from other tests every time.
Is there a way to configure how "empty" test cases are created?
I know I could create a prepare.html file or something and prepend it to a test suite. But I need to be able to run either a single test or all tests at once, so every test case must include the commands.
Ok I finally came up with a solution that suits me. I wrote custom commands setUpTest and tearDownTest, so I only have to add those two manually to each test.
I used this post to get started:
Adding custom commands to Selenium IDE
Selenium supports object-oriented design. You should create a class that takes those commands that you are referring to and always executes those, in each of the tests that you are executing you could then make a call to that class and the supporting method and then execute it.
A great resource for doing this is here.
