Jenkins for Selenium !

• Jenkins is an open source continuous integration tool written in Java

• Jenkins was originally developed as the Hudson project. Hudson's creation started in summer of 2004 at Sun Microsystems. It was first released in java.net in Feb. 2005.

                                                       Know more about Jenkins

What is the use of Jenkins in Selenium

• Using Jenkins we can create build (Build - set of Testcase combined together) and we can run easily using batch file or Git or build.xml or SVN etc

• Jenkins- can schedule the build periodically 

         for Example- You want to run 100 Testcase daily at 10 pm

• Email-Notification- Jenkins provide notification mails too once build passed or failed to respective recipients (Depends of configuration)

 Lets have a look How Jenkins works

1- Download Jenkins - refer the below url

    Download Jenkins

2- Configure Jenkins for Running Build - Refer the below url

    Configure Jenkins

3- Finally run build using Jenkins

WebDriver Wait Commands !

Wait commands in WebDriver

Listing out the different WebDriver Wait statements that can be useful for an effective scripting and can avoid using the Thread.sleep() comamnds

After few searches and digging into the WebDriver Java doc, I managed to design a mindmap of the different WebDriver commands available

WebDriver.manage().timeouts()

implicitlyWait

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

driver.get("http://somedomain/url_that_delays_loading");

WebElement myDynamicElement =

driver.findElement(By.id("myDynamicElement"));

The Implicit Wait will tell the webDriver to poll the DOM for certain duration when trying to find the element, this will be useful when certain elements on the webpage will not be available immediately and needs some time to load.
By default it will take the value to 0, for the life of the WebDriver object instance throughout the test script.

pageLoadTimeout

driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(100, SECONDS);

Sets the amount of time to wait for a page load to complete before throwing an error. If the timeout is negative, page loads can be indefinite.

setScriptTimeout

driver.manage().timeouts().setScriptTimeout(100, SECONDS);

Sets the amount of time to wait for an asynchronous script to finish execution before throwing an error. If the timeout is negative, then the script will be allowed to run indefinitely.

Support.ui

FluentWait

   // Waiting 30 seconds for an element to be present on the page, checking

   // for its presence once every 5 seconds.

   Wait wait = new FluentWait(driver)

       .withTimeout(30, SECONDS)

       .pollingEvery(5, SECONDS)

       .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);

   WebElement foo = wait.until(new Function() {

     public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) {

       return driver.findElement(By.id("foo"));

     }

   });

Each FluentWait instance defines the maximum amount of time to wait for a condition, as well as the frequency with which to check the condition. Furthermore, the user may configure the wait to ignore specific types of exceptions whilst waiting, such as NoSuchElementExceptions when searching for an element on the page.

ExpectedConditions

 

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);

WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id(>someid>)));

Models a condition that might reasonably be expected to eventually evaluate to something that is neither null nor false.
Examples : Would include determining if a web page has loaded or that an element is visible.
Note that it is expected that ExpectedConditions are idempotent. They will be called in a loop by the WebDriverWait and any modification of the state of the application under test may have unexpected side-effects.

WebDriverWait will be used as we used in the Expected conditions code snippet as above.

Sleeper is something same as the Thread.sleep() method, but this with an Abstraction around the thread.sleep() for better testability.
