This project contains UI tests for baeldung.com
The project uses Selenium framework, Crawler4J, jsoup and REST Assured for UI tests . The tests can be run in GUI or headless mode. UI browser has been configured with Firefox using gecodriver and tested with Firefox 56.0 (64 bit) on Windows. Headless mode works with Chrome and HtmlUnit browsers.
The default configuration executes tests with headless mode in Windows environment, target URL is https://www.baeldung.com, and the concurrency level is 3. The configuration can be changed using following properties:
- spring.profiles.active - environment variable to either "headless-browser" and "ui-browser"
- target.env - environment variable should be set to "win" or "linux" for headless browser
- base.url - to target base URL, for example http://www.baeldung.com
- concurrency.level - parallel threads to request to the target url
These can be set as environment variables via the Eclipse run configuration.
Three Maven profiles are available for running tests:
- headless-browser-windows
- headless-browser-linux
- ui-browser-windows
The target URL for all profiles is https://www.baeldung.com, and the concurrency level is 3. This can be changed using following properties:
- base.url - to target base URL, for example http://www.baeldung.com
- concurrency.level - parallel threads to request to the target url
Available headless browsers
- HtmlUnit
- chrome-headless
Headless browser can be configured using following system property
- headless.browser.name
- In case you are running on MacBook, you will have to download it's specific ChromeDriver version on your own. It can be downloaded from here https://chromedriver.chromium.org.
- Note there are two versions of chromedriver available for MacBook, depending on processor type (Intel or M1).
- To match the maven profile for M1 Macbook that exists in pom.xml, you will have to paste the chromedriver under project location bin/mac-m1/.
Run UpdateArticlesAndPagesLinks#updateLinks test for updating list of articles and pages.
Following tags are available for running tests selectively. Refer Java docs in GlobalConstants.java for details
- hourly
- daily
- weekly
- editorial
- github-related
- technical
URLs can be added to the following file to skip a specific test from the bi-monthly build - https://github.com/eugenp/blogwatch/blob/master/src/main/resources/exceptions-for-tests.yaml
Set environment variable "LAUNCH_FLAG" to either true or false to set launch mode. Default is false
After all the tests have finished, a test execution summary is logged, with the following format:
============================================================================
Test Execution Summary
============================================================================
Total Failures: X
Executed Tests: Y
testName_1(y1 executions)
testName_2(y2 executions)
...
Failed Tests: Z
failedTest_1(z1 failures)
failedTest_2(z2 failures)
...
=============================End of the Summary===============================
Test execution and test failure counts are automatically collected with the TestMetricsExtension.
For specific situation where this can not be used, we can explicitly collect these numbers inside the test, by invoking:
BaseTest.recordExecution("<TEST_NAME>");
BaseTest.recordFailure("<TEST_NAME>", <COUNT>);
Explicit invocation of these methods is needed in the following situations:
- the test is annotated with GlobalConstants.TAG_SKIP_METRICS
- we want to record multiple failures inside the same test
- the test is invoked from another test (eg: AllUrlsUITest.givenAllTestsRelatedTechnicalArea_whenHittingAllArticles_thenOK)
Currently, concurrency.level property is only in effect for these tests:
Concurrency supported tests are done by extending special base classes:
- AllUrlsUIBaseTest: provides a pre-configured thread-safe URL iterator for all Articles and Pages.
- ConcurrentBaseUISeleniumTest: provides an isolated instance of SitePage for each thread.
- ConcurrentBaseTest: provides the basic concurrent execution support. (When we don't need Selenium, see: CommonConcurrentUITest)
To perform UI tests on all Articles and Pages concurrently, we can extend our test class from AllUrlsUIBaseTest:
public class ConcurrentTest extends AllUrlsUIBaseTest {
@ConcurrentTest
@PageTypes({ SitePage.Type.PAGE, SitePage.Type.ARTICLE })
@LogOnce("testMethodForAll")
public final void testMethodForAll(SitePage page) {
// individual test logic
// runs for each configured URL in AllUrlsUIBaseTest
// Different instances of SitePage is provided for each thread
}
@ConcurrentTest
@PageTypes(SitePage.Type.ARTICLE)
@LogOnce("testMethodOnlyArticles")
public final void testMethodOnlyArticles(SitePage page) {
// runs for only articles configured in AllUrlsUIBaseTest
// here the page parameter has always the type ARTICLE
}
@ConcurrentTest
@PageTypes({ SitePage.Type.PAGE, SitePage.Type.ARTICLE })
@LogOnce("testBulk")
public final void testBulk(SitePage page) {
// We can give already provided page into methods
testMethod(page);
// Type specific individual tests must be guarded by the correct type!
if (AllUrlsConcurrentExtension.ensureTag(page, SitePage.Type.ARTICLE)) {
testMethodOnlyArticles(page);
}
}
}
To run any single test method in parallel, use Maven's test property in the format of -Dtest=<test-class-name>#<method-name>
.
An example maven command:
test -Dtest=AllUrlsUITest#givenAllPages_whenAnalysingImages_thenImagesDoNotPoinToTheDraftsSite -Dconcurrency.level=3 -Dheadless.browser.name=chrome-headless -Dbase.url=http://staging8.baeldung.com
The tests are running here, on Jenkins
