Controlling Cucumber Tests By Driver Script



I will Show you how to  filter and run the cucumber tests by using the master driver script.We will use the following components for this as below:

1).YML based Configuration File
**************************************************************
env_1:
  Priority : p1

##############

ApplicationData:
      ResultsPath : "D:\\TestProject\\Results"
      FeaturesFolderPath : "D:\\TestProject"
      ResultFormat : "html"

***********************************************************************
This file will help us in providing the following info:
a).Tag Filter "p1" by which we can execute only high priority test scenarios.
b).Results Path Folder
c).Features folder path
d).Desired Result Format



2).Master Driver Script(Driver.rb)
********************************************************************************
#Importing the required libraries
require 'yaml'
require 'FileUtils'


#Reading the YML config file and loading the variables and creating the timestamp to suffix results
time = Time.now.strftime("%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M%S")
configData = YAML.load_file "config.yml"
featureFilePath = configData["ApplicationData"]["FeaturesFolderPath"]
opFileFormat = configData["ApplicationData"]["ResultFormat"]
resBaseFolder = configData["ApplicationData"]["ResultsPath"] + "\\" + "ExecutionStatus_" + time

   
 
#Reading the config file and parsing the tags to filter the Features/Scenarios for execution                  def getTagsFromFilters(configData)
    strPriority = configData["env_1"]["Priority"]
    if strPriority.to_s.strip.length > 0
        if strPriority.include? ","
            arrVals = strPriority.split(",")           
            arrVals.each do |val|
                strPriority = strPriority.gsub val,"@" + val
            end
            strRetVal =  " --tags " + strPriority + strRetVal.to_s
        else
            strRetVal =  " --tags " + strPriority.gsub(strPriority,"@" + strPriority) + strRetVal.to_s
        end
    end
    return strRetVal
end


#Creating the cucumber command by concatenating the all config variables
      FileUtils.makedirs(resBaseFolder)
      strExecutionCmd = "cucumber " 
      strExecutionCmd = strExecutionCmd + " --out " +  resBaseFolder +  "\\Test_Results"
      strExecutionCmd = strExecutionCmd + " --format " + opFileFormat
      strExecutionCmd = strExecutionCmd + "  SCREENSHOT_PATH=" + resBaseFolder + "\\"
      strTags = getTagsFromFilters(configData)
      strExecutionCmd = strExecutionCmd + strTags
      print strExecutionCmd + "\n"
      system(strExecutionCmd)
     
   
********************************************************************************




This driver script can be directly executed from command prompt:

C:\ProjectFolder>ruby Driver.rb

or better can scheduled through a batch file and run automatically as required.

Testing Webservice with SoapUI Having Windows Authentication

Sometims SoapUI doesn't seem to work directly with NTLM authentication, but you can use a proxy such as Burp Suite to do the auth for you. Following are the steps you can perform: Burp Suite Configuration     Download Burp Suite from http://portswigger.net/burp/ and set it up.     On Burp's "Proxy : Intercept" tab, click the button to turn intercept off.     On Burp's "Proxy : Options" tab, make sure it's set to an unused port, the default is 8081     On Burp's "Options" tab, tick "do www authentication" and add a setting for the server you wish to hit. Also tick "prompt for credentials on authentication failure"     Switch to Burp's "Proxy : History" tab so you can see requests going through. SoapUI Settings     In SoapUI, choose File > Preferences, then select "Proxy Settings". Enter Host "localhost" and port "8081".     Use SoapUI as normal. It will s

How to Re-run Failed Scenarios in Cucumber

Usually we require to rerun the failed test cases again once they are fixed or for double verification.In cucumber we can do that easily without developing any customize code for it. Cucumber directly supports the feature to re- run the failed test cases as following: Run Cucumber with rerun formatter simply using :   cucumber -f rerun --out rerun.txt It will output locations of all failed scenarios to the file. Then you can rerun them by using cucumber @rerun.txt This can be further bundled as a rake task and can be run simply as : require 'cucumber' require 'cucumber/rake/task' Cucumber::Rake::Task.new(: jenkins_with_rerun ) do |t|   cucumber -f rerun --out rerun.txt   cucumber @rerun.txt end task :default => : jenkins_with_rerun  And then can be run as simply "rake" inside the project folder:   C:/>ProjectFolder>rake
