Every rose has its thorn. In the unlikely event that you have read all of my posts, you will be aware that I have had a try at dependency injection before but wasn’t happy enough with the results to push them. After looking at it this week I have managed to understand where my difficulties lie and and implement a solution that works. I’m still not really happy with it, but its enough to be able to get going on…
As I discussed in ‘Driver factory part 3 – Remotewebdrivers and my very own grid’ I found that it was pretty painless to set up a grid hub and node on a single Windows machine. Whilst the grid was itself perfectly stable, it is a bit of a pain to start up multiple command prompts and run individual nodes etc. There were two obvious improvements to this that I could try: Work out how to configure multiple browsers on a…

I know its kind of pointless as being based on the same engine as Chrome, but it is one of my favourite browsers so I thought I’d give it a go. I’ve made a few incremental changes to my grid…

The last changes in my CheckStyle implementation Having set the Javadoc rules to ignore in my ruleset, I of course remembered that…
The sensible way to make your own ruleset. As I mentioned in CheckStyle – Enforcing a coding style: part 2, there is a far simpler way to choose your own rules than by manually editing an xml file. I use the Community edition of Intellij IDEA. Going back a few years however I learnt my first Java code at ITU using Eclipse. To be fair I did try it out when I started programming professionally, but I never really was happy…
