Selenium Event Listener

Selenium provides an API for various events that occur when our scripts are executed like click, switch to a window, navigation, onException, etc. and these can be registered using WebDriverEventListener interface or EventFiringWebDriver class. These events play a pivotal role in analyzing results and in debugging issues (if any). EventFiringWebDriver class takes care of all events that are occurred while the execution of your script. EventFiringWebDriver class can be bind to more than one listener but all event listeners should be registered with the EventFiringWebDriver class so that it can be notified. EventFiringWebDriver eventFiring =new EventFiringWebDriver(driver); FirstEventCapture firstListener =new FirstEventCapture(); //FirstEventCapture implements WebDriverEventListener SecondEventCapture secondListener =new SecondEventCapture(); //SecondEventCapture implements WebDriverEventListener eventFiring.register(firstListener); eventFiring.register(secondListener); Check this link to know details about all the methods in WebDriverEventListener Interface: https://selenium.dev/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/support/events/WebDriverEventListener.html Note* WebDriver listener (WebDriverEventListener) is doing a similar job like TestNG listeners i.e. of logging/reporting things but both work on different events. WebDriverEventListener works on different automation events like click, navigation, etc. whereas TestNG works on different test's related events like onStart(), beforeStart(), etc. hashtagselenium hashtagtestautomation hashtagautomationtesting hashtageventListener

How to Unzip files in Selenium (Java)?

1) Using Java (Lengthy way) : Create a utility and use it:>> import java.io.BufferedOutputStream; import org.openqa.selenium.io.Zip; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.zip.ZipEntry; import java.util.zip.ZipInputStream;   public class UnzipUtil {     private static final int BUFFER_SIZE = 4096;     public void unzip (String zipFilePath, String destDirectory) throws IOException {         File destDir = new File(destDirectory);         if (!destDir.exists()) {             destDir.mkdir();         }         ZipInputStream zipIn = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(zipFilePath));         ZipEntry entry = zipIn.getNextEntry();         // to iterates over entries in the zip folder         while (en...

The use of Verbose attribute in testNG or POM.xml (maven-surefire-plugin)

At times, we see some weird behavior in your testNG execution and feel that the information displayed is insufficient and would like to see more details. At other times, the output on the console is too verbose and we may want to only see the errors. This is where a verbose attribute can help you- it is used to define the amount of logging to be performed on the console. The verbosity level is 0 to 10, where 10 is most detailed. Once you set it to 10, you'll see that console output will contain information regarding the tests, methods, and listeners, etc. <suite name="Suite" thread-count="5" verbose="10"> Note* You can specify -1 and this will put TestNG in debug mode. The default level is 0. Alternatively, you can set the verbose level through attribute in "maven-surefire-plugin" in pom.xml, as shown in the image. #testNG #automationTesting #verbose # #testAutomation

Encode/Decode the variable/response using Postman itself

We get a lot of use cases where we may have to implement Base64 encoding and/or decoding while building our APIs. And, if you are wondering if it is possible to encode/decode the variable/response using Postman itself or how to encode/decode the token or password in postman and save it in a variable? To Base64 encode/decode, the quickest way is to use JavaScript methods btoa, atob: atob - It turns base64-encoded ASCII data back to binary. btoa - It turns binary data to base64-encoded ASCII. Sample code : var responseBody = pm.response.json(); var parsedPwd = JSON.parse(atob(responseBody.password)); // presuming password is in the payload pm.collectionVariables.set("password", parsedPwd);
