Tutorial 14 – Integrate Cucumber with Selenium – Part 1
What you will Learn :
Add Selenium-java dependency in pom.xml
Add WebDriverManager dependency
Add ExtentReports Cucumber6 Adapter dependency
Create Login page feature and it’s step definition
Add page layer
Create DriverFactor class
Create config.properties file
AUT walkthrough and create feature file
Create Step definition file
Add Selenium-java dependency in pom.xml
We will now integrate cucumber with Selenium so that we can automate end-to-end cucumber scenario.
Go to the url https://mvnrepository.com/search?q=selenium and search for ‘selenium’. You would find ‘Selenium Java’ in search results
Click ‘Selenium Java’. The below page would come up
Click the stable version link 3.141.59, the below page would come up
Uncheck the checkbox ‘Include comment with link to declaration’, you will see as below
Mouse click the dependency, it gets copied as seen below
Paste it inside the dependency tag in pom.xml, see below
You can press Ctrl+Shift+F to format the pom.xml file
Save the pom.xml file. This would start downloading the dependencies.
Add WebDriverManager dependency
WebDriverManager library is used to automate the management of the drivers (e.g. chromedriver, geckodriver, etc.) required by Selenium WebDriver. We don't have to download the binaries required for different browsers (Chrome, IE etc).
Go to the url https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.github.bonigarcia/webdrivermanager
Click the stable version link 4.3.1
Copy the dependency and paste it in pom.xml
Save the pom.xml file.
Add ExtentReports Cucumber6 Adapter dependency
Go to
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/tech.grasshopper/extentreports-cucumber6-adapter
Click the stable version link 2.7.0
Copy the dependency and paste it in pom.xml
Add the <scope> line as seen below
Save the pom.xml file.
Create Login page feature and it’s step definition
Create a blank LoginPage.feature file under src/test/java/Features
Create a blank LoginPageSteps.java step definition file under src/test/java/StepDefinitions
Add page layer
Now we will add page layer under src/main/java
Create a package ‘pages’ under src/main/java
Create LoginPage class inside this package
Create DriverFactor class
Create package ‘factory’ under src/main/java and create DriverFactory.java under this package
Create config.properties file
Create package ‘config’ under src/test/resources and create a file config.properties
Add ‘browser’ property as shown below
AUT walkthrough and create feature file
Launch
http://automationpractice.com/index.php?controller=authentication&back=my-account
Let us find the page title:
Right click > View Page Source > search for ‘title’
Notice the page title below
So let us write our first scenario
Next we have ‘Forgot your password’ link
So below is our 2nd scenario
Next, on the home page, create your own account by entering an email address and click ‘Create an account’
Once you create your own account, login by entering your email address and password
Click ‘Sign in’
Once you sign in, below page comes up
Let us find the page title
So our 3rd scenario becomes
Create Step definition file
Let us run the feature file and copy/paste the missing steps in our step definition file
So we have created the basic building blocks. In our next tutorial, we will write a utility in our DriverFactory.java
