Just a quickie tonight. Part of the reason for writing anything in Java is its ability to run on many devices. Before I move on from Java to dotnet and C# there are a couple of things to complete. In principle it should be no problem to call gradle to run my tests on both Linux and Macos. I’m going to cheat a little with Linux by running on Ubuntu on the Windows Subsystem for Linux. While we are at…
As promised, this time I am taking a look at the support that is offered for JUnit 5 now that we are more than 6 months past the official release of JUnit 5. If you have read through the process of developing this test suite, you will be aware that I had to use JUnit’s own JUnitPlatform Gradle plugin to run my test suite. This works just fine, but it is clunky, requires a LOT of code and most frustratingly…
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 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 background This was never intended to be an article in itself, but one of the problems with working on this late at night, is that sometimes I have to finish up, even though I know that there is another simple change I would like to make. In this case, my DriverFactoryTests were just screaming out for parameterisation. I know I had added some Windows 10 checks in there, but as I was of course running the tests over a…
