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 reuse steps in Cucumber

While working in cucumber many times we find that some piece of code is redundant across multiple step definitions.To make this work a simple solution is callling a step from another step like: Given /^ I login successfully$ / step "I login with valid credentials" end But this approach is problematic from debugging perspective as in case of we need to debug the scripts as it will lead to only first level of step calling which will not be helpful for issues resolution. Somewhat better way to achieve re usability,robustness and clarity is to simply fall back on language basic primitives -methods.We may encapsulate these small defs inside a module and extract it to " World " and call the method directly from where ever required as below: #/support/world_extensions.rb module KnowsUser def login visit ( '/login' ) fill_in ( 'User name' , with : user . name ) fill_in ( 'Password' , with : user . passw...

How to Uncheck All checkboxes Using Cucumber/Capybara

Sometimes while automating we need to have  all checkboxes unchecked as a precondition or baseline state in a given page.We can do that in Cucumber/Capybara using following code: all ( 'input[type=checkbox]' ). each do | checkbox | if checkbox . checked ? then checkbox . click end end Similar logic can be developed for other types of objects if required or better object type and locator detail can be passed as parameters to achieve higher level of abstraction which will work for any type of objects.
