How to use multiple wait conditions in Selenium Webdriver using ruby?

I wanted to know, how I can use following waits in program at which situations?

driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 20
driver.manage.timeouts.script_timeout = 20
driver.manage.timeouts.page_load = 20

My program error is:
C:/Ruby200-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/selenium-webdriver-2.52.0/lib/selenium/webdriver/common/wait.rb:76:in `until’: timed out after 10 seconds (Unable to locate element: {“method”:”xpath”,”selector”:”.//*[@id=’calendar’]//*[contains(@class, ‘fc-slot4′)]/td/div”}) (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::TimeOutError)
from anonymouspatient.rb:61:in `<main>’

I can locate this element using IRB commands but can’t find an element in selenium Webdriver using Ruby.

Test Case Result Chart to multiple Test Suites?

I have recently taken over Test Suite creation for my team and I have encountered a rather annoying and time-consuming issue.
Scenario: Let’s say we have 5 Test Suites (folders) and each one needs to have 2 Test Result Charts:

Outcome of Test
Who ran the Test

Currently, I have to go into each Test Suite and add the same exact two Charts every time.
Is there a way that I can just select X Suites and add the Charts en-masse?

Page Object Model: Base Page necessary?

I’ve gone back and forth on this, and am sort of having a hard time deciding if a “Base page” class is necessary or a good idea.
In most cases this base page class someone stores common functions (or sometimes common locators like headers/footers) and a lot of time these are abstract classes with abstract methods that all child page classes should have (Such as a goto/navigate method all page objects may have or similar “action” methods).
However, I have also seen others argue that we should prefer composition over inheritance: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49002/prefer-composition-over-inheritance which means we should use utility classes or classes that hold action methods and then use components to pull into our other PoM classes (In the case of a common component such as a header/footer)
I’ve conflicted in whether a base class really ever has a place for PoM? Personally i’ve only ever housed methods such as a goto method that all PoM sub-classes SHOULD have but even that’s probably not 100% necessary.
What are the benefits to one way over the other, and if there is a base class what should be in it?

Switching from inner iFrame to the outter (parent) iFrame

I have an iFrame in another iFrame, I´am able to switch to the parent iFrame and then to the child iFrame, but I´am just not able to switch back to the parent one. Is it even possible to switch up top to the parent one, as the driver is in the child iFrame?

How to generate report using extent reports in Page Object Model in C#

I have created a POM framework using NUnit in C#. I have created Reporting.cs file which creates reports for the test in that class. How I can generate reports for all tests in different classes without rewriting the reporting code.

BaseTest
– References
– package
– config
– projects
|- project_name
|- pages
|- tests
|- utils
|- reporting.cs

In tests folder files with TestLoginModule.cs have functions

[Test]
public void TestFirst()
{
// test code
}
[Test]
public void TestSecond()
{
// test code
}

In tests folder files with TestDashboardModule.cs have functions

[Test]
public void TestThird()
{
// test code
}
[Test]
public void TestFourth()
{
// test code
}

In Reporting.cs file

[OneTimeSetUp]
public void BeforeClass()
{
// create a test report directory and attach reporter
extent = new ExtentReports();
var dir = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.Replace(“/bin/Debug”,””);
DirectoryInfo di = Directory.CreateDirectory(dir + “//Test_Execution_Reports”);
var htmlReporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter(dir + “//Test_Execution_Reports” + “//Automation_Report” + “.html”);
extent.AttachReporter(htmlReporter);
}

[TearDown]
public void AfterTest()
{
var status = TestContext.CurrentContext.Result.Outcome.Status;
var stacktrace = “” + TestContext.CurrentContext.Result.StackTrace + “”;
var errorMessage = TestContext.CurrentContext.Result.Message;
Status logstatus;

switch(status)
{
case TestStatus.Failed:
logstatus = Status.Fail;
test.Log(logstatus, “Test ended with” + logstatus + “-” + errorMessage);
test.Log(logstatus, “screenshot”);
break;
case TestStatus.Skipped:
logstatus = Status.Skip;
break;
default:
logstatus = Status.Pass;
break;
}

SB.Driver.Close();
SB.Driver.Quit();
}

[OneTimeTearDown]
public void AfterClass()
{
extent.Flush();
}

I want to call Reporting.cs OneTimeSetUp and TearDown after every Test in different files

Managing exclusive resources across tests

I have a serial E2E test suite that’s growing and getting slower.
To solve this issue, I have to run the tests in parallel. But creating a user and all the required configurations is very complicated in this project.
Having one user per test is also not ideal, as some pieces of the configuration cost money.
So I was thinking of using something similar to Jenkins Lockable Resources or, where each user is a resource that can be “locked” per test and “unlocked” at the end.
Is there a simple API for achieving this? (Or another solution)

How to repeat the same test with Selenium Webdriver without opening a new browser instance each time?

I am using Selenium Webdriver on Node.js with Cucumber.js.
I want to run the same test on multiple pages. In this case just checking for 404s in my footer.
My Cucumber .feature file looks like:
Feature: Check footer links

Scenario: Check for broken links in the footer section
Given I am checking the footer on the ‘<page>’ page
Then there should be no broken links in the footer on ‘<page>’ page

Examples:
| page |
| about-us |
| contact-us |
| products |

And in my steps.js file I have:
const { When, Then, Given, AfterAll } = require(‘@cucumber/cucumber’);
const assert = require(‘assert’);
const { Builder, By, until, Key, http } = require(‘selenium-webdriver’);
const firefox = require(‘selenium-webdriver/firefox’);
const XMLHttpRequest = require(‘xhr2’);
var {setDefaultTimeout} = require(‘@cucumber/cucumber’);
setDefaultTimeout(60 * 1000);

Given(‘I am checking the footers on the {string} page’, async function (string) {
this.driver = new Builder()
.forBrowser(‘firefox’)
.build();

this.driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.className(‘logo-image’)));

await this.driver.get(‘https://www.some-site.com/’ + string);
});

Then(‘there should be no broken links in the footer on {string} page’, async function(string) {
var urlArr = [];
var footerLinks = await this.driver.findElements(By.css(‘.footer a’));
for (let i = 0; i < footerLinks.length; i++) {
var url = await footerLinks[i].getAttribute(“href”);
urlArr.push(url);
}

if (urlArr.length < 1) {
console.log(`Could not find any footer links on ${string} page`);
}
else {
for (let i = 0; i < urlArr.length; i++) {
var respStatus = await checkLink(urlArr[i]);
assert.ok(respStatus==200);
}
}
});

function checkLink(url) {
//Check link function returns status code….
}

This works fine, but for one thing: For each page that is tested a new instance of FireFox opens up.
I tried adding
After(async function() {
this.driver.quit();
});

To the end but this closes the session completely and the other tests fail after the first initial one is done.
Would anyone know how I could repeat the tests in the same browser instance?

The First Hurdle Heuristic

There is a testing techique that I often apply. I have recently decided to name it the First Hurdle Heuristic. The basic idea: get the product out of the starter’s blocks, and see how it performs given a relatively easy challenge. This heuristic can useful when you want to identify problems and risks immediately, or to determine whether a product might not be ready for use or for deeper testing. … Read more
