Create java selenium in 10 steps and execute

Aim:
To create java selenium Scripts using a IDE and execute them in Eclipse in less than 10 steps. Here we are using the IDE to create java code which is different from using webdriver which a richer and more flexible api.


Difficulty level:
Advanced

What you will learn?

• How to switch from IDE to Selenuium RC using Java
• Basics of the advanced IDE Eclipse Setup
• Introduction to the Selenium Java Client Driver
• Introduction to JUnit Api

Tips:

• Basic idea of Selenium IDE
• Basic knowledge of Java.

Pre-requisites:

• Can access Wordpress.com and is familiar with Familiarise yourself with Wordpress.com?
• Eclipse installed
• Selenium RC server
• Firefox and Selenium IDE installed
• Download Junit 4.X.jar from http://www.junit.org/
• selenium-server.jar, selenium java client driver. jar from http://seleniumhq.org/download/ ( current version is 2.6.0)
• add the jar files to eclipse

Exercise Steps:

1. Use the IDE to record a simple script
2. convert into Junit/Java Formatted Code using the IDE
3. Save the code QuickTest.java on the harddrive
4. Launch Eclipse
5. Create a Java project directory, see the attached video file for how to create Java project in Eclipse
6. Move QuickTest.java to the project directory
7. Start Selenium RC Server via command line
8. Execute QuickTest.java via JUnit
9. See the Result

Conclusions

• Installed Ecplise IDE and seen it working with a java selenium Example
• Familiar with end to end advanced Selenium Script Design
• Familiar with how to record a script using Selenium IDE and convert it to Java

Solution:
Zip file location: ( download from here)
C:\FoundationSelenium\JavaBasedScript\QuickTest.java.

Scripts:

See the java code below after converting the recorded HTML script in IDE to Junit:

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 QuickTest extends SeleneseTestCase {
@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
 selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*chrome", "http://foundation.time2test.co.uk/");
 selenium.start();
}

@Test
public void testQuick() throws Exception {
 selenium.open("/");
 selenium.click("link=Log in");
 selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
 assertTrue(selenium.isTextPresent("Username"));
 assertTrue(selenium.isTextPresent("Password"));
 selenium.type("id=user_login", "admin");
 selenium.type("id=user_pass", "time4test");
 selenium.click("id=wp-submit");
 selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
 for (int second = 0;; second++) {
  if (second >= 60) fail("timeout");
  try { if (selenium.isElementPresent("//div[@id='user_info']/p/a[2]")) break; } catch (Exception e) {}
  Thread.sleep(1000);
 }

 selenium.click("link=Posts");
 selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
 for (int second = 0;; second++) {
  if (second >= 60) fail("timeout");
  try { if (selenium.isElementPresent("//div[@id='wpbody-content']/div[3]/h2")) break; } catch (Exception e) {}
  Thread.sleep(1000);
 }

 selenium.click("link=Add New");
 selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
 selenium.type("id=title", "MyPost");
 selenium.click("id=publish");
 selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
 selenium.click("link=Users");
 selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
 assertTrue(selenium.isTextPresent("Users"));
 selenium.click("//li[@id='menu-users']/div[3]/ul/li[2]/a");
 selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
 selenium.type("id=user_login", selenium.getEval("\"Testuser\" + new Date().getMilliseconds();"));
selenium.type("id=email", selenium.getEval("\"Testemail\" + new Date().getMilliseconds()+\"@gmail.com\";"));
selenium.type("id=first_name", "TestFirst");
 selenium.type("id=last_name", "TestLast");
 selenium.type("id=url", "http://www.google.com/");
 selenium.type("id=pass1", "time2test");
 selenium.type("id=pass2", "time2test");
 selenium.click("id=addusersub");
 selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
 selenium.click("link=Log Out");
 selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
}

@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
 selenium.stop();
}
}

Record a script by Selenium IDE and change into Java Format and run on Selenium RC
1. start Selenium IDE
2. record a script on Selenium IDE against wordpress.com
3. click on Options->Format->jUnit 4 to covert the selenium script to Java format
4. Save test case as QuickTest.java
5. Now open Ecilpse IDE
6. create a java project
7. Create a package in that java project ( com.example.tests)
8. Now copy the previously aved test case into the package just created
9. Now include all the jar files
create a lib directory and add the jar file
10. Now lauch the selenium Server
java -jar selenium-server.jar
11. Now run the java project
