Going multi-platform: Running the tests from MacOs and Linux

Going multi-platform: Running the tests from MacOs and Linux

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…

Going Multi-Platform – Adding a Mac to the Grid: Part 2

Going Multi-Platform – Adding a Mac to the Grid: Part 2

This entry is part 5 of 5 in the series Building a WebDriver Grid

Last time I discussed the differences in setting up a Mac as a node on a Selenium grid. That is not even half the battle however as I also need to get the supporting code in the framework and find out if I have to work around any differences in the WebDriver implementations. Back in January I wrote some tests checking that the framework was launching the correct browser and getting this working properly. I enjoy the challenge of writing…

Going Multi-Platform – Adding a Mac to the Grid: Part 1

This entry is part 4 of 5 in the series Building a WebDriver Grid

Apologies if you got a link to the incomplete first attempt at this post. This one is the real deal. It has long been my intention to look at adding multi-platform testing to my set-up, and finally I got my hands on a Mac to see if I could get it working. I am sure that I could easily have got a linux VM up and running in no time, but both my stats for this site, and from gs.statcounter.com…

C# and the disappearing PageFactory – My next steps in Selenium testing

C# and the disappearing PageFactory – My next steps in Selenium testing

This entry is part 1 of 5 in the series Building a .Net Core PageFactory Framework

Being an Open Source project maintainer is a thankless task Ask Jim Evans, the maintainer of the C# (aka dotnet) language bindings for Selenium Webdriver as well as as the Internet Explorer driver that I am sure just about everyone who has ever written a Selenium test has used. Until I started my new job at Altitude Angel 16 days ago I had spent very little time worrying about the C# language bindings as I have been working in Java. As…

Finally JUnit 5 has native support in Gradle

Finally JUnit 5 has native support in Gradle

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…
