RemoteWebDriver Grid

Hi Nick,

Very good job. I am trying to use it with RemoteWebDriver Grid. I don't see a real example in the example solution. I am getting

System.InvalidCastException : Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.Object]'

when trying to use a remote web driver. He is my config:

  <component name="RemoteWebDriver"

       type="Unickq.SeleniumHelper.RemoteWebDriver, Unickq.SeleniumHelper.SpecFlowPlugin"
       service="OpenQA.Selenium.IWebDriver, WebDriver" instance-scope="per-dependency">
    <parameters>
      <parameter name="url" value="http://192.168.207.202:4444/" />
      <parameter name="browser" value="Chrome" />
      <parameter name="capabilities">
        <dictionary>
          <item key="CapabilityType.BrowserName" value="chrome" />
        </dictionary>
      </parameter>
    </parameters>
  </component>

I have a working solution with RemoteWebDriver and now I am trying to integrate your job. This is what I need to have working with your solution:

  			capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.Chrome();
  			capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.BrowserName, "chrome");
  			capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Platform, new Platform(PlatformType.Windows));

Can you help me with this?

Seems browserstack.local is not being picked when set

Hi,

If browserstack.local is set to true in appsettings it throws error: [browserstack.local] is set to true but local testing through BrowserStack is not connected. There is a post (Testing on Internal Networks) here https://www.browserstack.com/automate/specflow, which says BrowserstackLocal needs to be installed. However I haven't found any references in your code that initiate it.

Is there a way to test with browserstack.local?

Specflow AfterScenario runs after Nunit Teardown

Hi @unickq,

Thanks again for your help before on the enhancement.

I am facing a new issue where when a test fails the browser is closed down as part of the NUnit Teardown before the Specflow AfterScenario is run, which is where I take a screenshot of the browser to help diagnose the issue.

When I manually comment out the driver.quit like below in the generated code then the after scenario takes a screenshot as expected.

        [NUnit.Framework.TearDownAttribute()]
        public virtual void ScenarioTearDown()
        {
            try
            {
                ((Unickq.SpecFlow.Selenium.WebDriverGrid.PaidWebDriver) driver).UpdateTestResult();
            }
            catch (System.Exception)
            {
            }
            //try {System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50); driver.Quit(); } catch (System.Exception) {}
            driver = null;
            try
            {
                testRunner.ScenarioContext.Remove("Driver");
            }
            catch (System.NullReferenceException)
            {
            }
            testRunner.OnScenarioEnd();
        }

Code to create the screenshot in the specflow after scenario:
driver.TakeScreenshot().SaveAsFile(path, ScreenshotImageFormat.Jpeg);

I think in the previous base class version, the browser closing was not in the teardown but I'm not certain of this.

Any ideas how I can solve or work around this?

Thanks,
Adil

SpecFlow.Selenium.Plugin with Visual Studio 2017

Hi Nick,

I created a C# Unit Test Project (.NET Framework) on Visual Studio 2017 community edition and added the latest versions (as of 3/10/2018) of these following .Nuget packages

• Autofac, Autofac.configuration, NUnit, MSTest, Specflow.Assist.Dynamic, TechTalk.Specflow and
  Unickq.Specflow.Selenium.SpecFlowPlugin

In the App.config file , I set the test provider to NUnit and set the component name to ChromeDebug as shown below
















.....

I then created a feature file called GoogleSearch

Feature: GoogleSearch
Feature to test Google search functionality
We will test auto-search as well as navigationg to search results

@browser:ChromeDebug
Scenario: Google search for Execute Automation term
Given I have navigated to Google page
And I see the Google page fully loaded
When I type the following Keyword
| Keyword |
| Execute Automation |
Then I should see the results for the keyword
| Keyword |
| Execute Automation |

There are some issues with the generated GoogleSearch.feature.cs file

1. It does not like the parameter 'GoogleSearchFeature' as shown below
   [NUnit.Framework.ParallelizableAttribute("GoogleSearchFeature")]
   public partial class GoogleSearchFeature
   {
   It shows this error when you mouse over 'GoogleSearchFeature'
   (Argument1: cannot convert from 'string' to type 'NUnit.Framework.ParallelScope' )

Why is this happening?

2. In your Unickq.SpecFlow.Selenium.Example project's F1.feature,cs file, you have the following code that is missing from my GoogleSearch.feature.cs

   using Autofac; // missing from mine
   using Autofac.Configuration; // missing from mine

private OpenQA.Selenium.IWebDriver driver; // missing from mine, and all the code referring to driver is missing

private IContainer container; // missing from mine and all the code referring to container is missing

Your file
[NUnit.Framework.TestCaseAttribute("ChromeDebug", etc..]
public virtual void CheckWebsiteTitle(string browser, etc..)
{
InitializeSeleniumBrowser(browser);

versus mine

[NUnit.Framework.CategoryAttribute("Browser:ChromeDebug")]
public virtual void GoogleSearchForExecuteAutomationTerm()
{
// string browser and InitializeSeleniumBrowser(browser); are missing from mine
// also, mine does not have an [NUnit.Framework.TestCaseAttribute it has an
[NUnit.Framework.CategoryAttribute( "Browser:ChromeDebug")

private void InitializeSeleniumBrowser(string browser) // this function is missing from mine
{
driver = container.ResolveNamed<OpenQA.Selenium.IWebDriver>(browser);
}

Because of all the missing code, the following code in the step file is giving errors

if (scenarioContext == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(scenarioContext));
ScenarioContext = scenarioContext;
Browser = scenarioContext.GetWebDriver();

How can we fix this issue?

Thanks. :)

Using POM within this framework

Hello,

I cloned this project and started using it for a proof of concept I am working on for automation. What I found is that when I started to create Page classes POM (Page Object Model) implementation, I started running into issues. It dawned on me that maybe this plugin is NOT POM-friendly. Is that the case? What I am finding is that when I try to use the IWebElement and scenario context within the Page Class files, I get errors/issues. Here is an example of an error I am facing:

Issue 2.4

@tag:Parameter doesn't work with 2.4

unickq.seleniumhelper throwing errors while compiling

Add the ability to set desired capabilities to local drivers in App.config

Hi Nick,

Great work here.
Would it be possible to add the ability to set the desired capabilities for local drivers? Allowing the option to set a firefox profile on start up would be very helpful.

Just to add that what i'm specifically trying to accomplish with this is to have the ability to set settings such as 'AcceptUntrustedCertificates' on the FF Profile and 'acceptInsecureCerts' as a desired capability.

Thanks for your help

Tagging at feature

Hi Nick, this is great that you've made the original usable with the latest versions of NUnit/Selenium/Specflow.

Any possibility of tagging at the feature level? If a feature has many scenarios it may be easier just to tag once instead for each scenario.

To take take it one step further it would be nice to these browsers globally (somewhere) so the user doesn't have to worry about tagging individually.

I've been working on my own custom plugin and the TestFixture attribute that accepts an argument could be a possibility for feature tagging. Also the TextFixtureSource attribute seems to be powerful.

Sorry for the lengthy post but what you have so far is something I have waiting for and will definitely be using. Thanks, Prab

define the saucelabs job name for a scenario

In the original repository there are an opportunity to add job name and test status.
Could you please add the same according to the issue baseclass/Contrib.SpecFlow.Selenium.NUnit#7
