Test cases can be dependent to each other or may have to be executed in a certain order in a test suit. 
TestNg gives us the capability to manage the test execution.

In TestNG framework,  create an xml file to handle multiple test class where you can configure your test run, 
set test dependency, include or exclude any test, method, class or package and set priority etc.

Selenium is primarily  used for automating web applications, but it is certainly not limited to just that.

There are many external links available to start with Selenium IDE or web driver automation.
Please find below some links may be helpful.

You can set up a continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipeline that uses a Pega repository in which you can store and test
software and Jenkins server can be used to perform operations on your software. As of now, we dont have support for Selenium script automation
for CI/CD pipeline. However, you can configure an automation server with REST services to automatically run unit tests from Jenkins.
 

Hi,

POM (Page Object Model) is a design pattern to create Object Repository for web UI elements that can be implemented using Selenium web driver.

Corresponding page class is created for each web page in the application in this model.

This Page class will find the Web Elements of that web page and also contains Page methods which perform operations on those elements.

Advantages :

1) Under this model, operations and flows in the UI are separated from verification.

2) Object repository is independent of test cases, so we can reuse the same object repository for a different methods.
In future, if there is a change in the one web element, we need to make the change in just 1 class file instead of multiple different scripts.

3) It helps in functional encapsulation, low maintenance and low redundancy.

Hi,

Hope you will copy the project folder in the Jenkins server.
You can create a Sample folder named Data in your existing project and download and upload the file from that location.

Please find sample code snipped below which might be helpful for you

String currentDir = System.getProperty("user.dir"); // Gets the current working directory location
currentDir = currentDir.concat("\\Data\\"); 
currentDir = (currentDir.concat(filename)).concat(".csv"); // Set the current directory location till filename.extension
WebElement uploadFile = Webdriver.findElement(INPUT_FILE_LINK); // Find the search box to enter the path  to upload the file
uploadFile.sendKeys(currentDir); // Pass the current directory path till the file name.

Hi,

If you are trying to find the unique attribute of each grid in a repeating layout, you can find the stable parent element (reference element) of the grid and find child element based on its index of occurrence.

You can find with a parametrized Xpath from parent element.

To support more on this, could you provide the html structure of the grid

Hi,

If there are multiple elements with found with the Xpath , then we can let the code to perform the action on correct element using

driver.findElements(INPUT_FILE_LINK).get(0) or driver.findElements(INPUT_FILE_LINK).get(1) .

As you mentioned there are two elements with type=file, please debug the code by pointing to each element once to find the correct one.

And regarding the set focus, as your objective is to upload the file, hope you might need to enter the file path in the input element.

So you can use sendKeys() function (WebElement.sendKeys()) which tries find an input tag box to enter some information, but if you want to set Focus

then you can use line like below for input elements.

new Actions(driver).moveToElement(WebElement).click().perform();

Hi,

There are different design approaches available like Strategy Design pattern, Page Factory with in Page object etc..
Each has its own pros and cons.

As you have mentioned to want to have a generic framework, you may need to analyse the type of test scenarios that needs to be automated.You can initially start with creating the interface files where a abstract methods and place holder elements can be defined. And based on your test scenario we can follow the implementation approach of those interfaces accordingly.

LiveUI is used to just parse the DOM structure , enabling it should not impact the identification of elements. Could you check the frame id of element is getting changed or constant for the particular element. Also, can you try putting some wait in the script before finding the element, just to check if the controls are taking time to load. 

Hi,

Could you check if more than one element is visible in DOM for the xpath mentioned. 

Also it is not recommended to use Thread.sleep , instead we can use wait (implicit / explicit) methods.
Example of explicit wait:  wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath(""))) 

Is it possible to share the html code of the page so i can debug more.

Hi ,

We can use  Telerik, selenium or any other automation tool, i am currently using selenium for the pega application,
if we have to automate the web based application, we can choose selenium as its open-source features help to script own extensions that makes it easy to develop customized actions and even manipulate at an advanced level.

To get the Test ID’s in HTML, add the role PegaRULES:TestID to your access group.

Hi,

Xml used to carry data unlike html designed to display data.

I have saved the attached file as .html and able to find the element with id locator and used sendKeys() method for providing the text in the input tag. 

driver.findElement(By.id("LocalityPostcode")).sendKeys("");
