To create my first test in Selenium, I was using this web site.
Download and install Eclipse, download Chrome driver, download and install Maven.
To install Maven, in my case, I downloaded apache-maven-3.2.2-bin.zip, and I extracted it to C:\opt\maven. After that on the keyboard click Windows sign + Pause, system properties should open, and click Advanced Settings. On Windows 7 it looks like this:
System properties window should pop - up, click on Advanced -> Environment Variables:
Environment Variables should pop - up. First I had to add M2_HOME variable with the value C:\opt\maven into system variables, because with user variables didn't work, I don't know why:
Then in user variables click new:
Add the M2 environment variable in the user variables with the value %M2_HOME%\bin
Add / update path variable, by adding %M2%:
Make sure that Java_Home exists:
After adding all those variables, I had to restart my computer, then to check if everything is correctly set in command line write
echo %M2_HOME%
result should be (in my case):
C:\opt\maven
Now we can check if Maven is installed by writing in command line:
mvn --version
Result should be something like:
Apache Maven 3.2.2 (45f7c06d68e745d05611f7fd14efb6594181933e; 2014-06-17T15:51:42+02:00)
Maven home: C:\opt\maven
Java version: 1.7.0_45, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1250
OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"
To start with Maven, create folder for example d:\com.milosev.app, open command line in that folder, execute:
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.milosev.app -DartifactId=my-firstTest -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
Now your folder structure should look like:
Open Eclipse, go to Help -> Install New Software:
Then, in my case, I've choose Work with: Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/Luna, filtered by maven, and check Collaboration m2e...:
Click Next -> Next -> Accept license agreement -> Finish, wait to install software, restart Eclipse.
Go to File -> Import
Then choose Existing Maven Projects
Click Browse go to folder where is your project (in my case that is d:\com.milosev.app), click ok -> Finish.
Open pom.xml, since I am unexpirienced Eclipse user I open it with Text Editor:
It should look like:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId> <artifactId>my-app</artifactId> <packaging>jar</packaging> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>my-app</name> <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>3.8.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId> <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId> <version>2.40.0</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </project>
Basically you will need to add just:
<dependency> <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId> <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId> <version>2.40.0</version> </dependency>
After saving, Maven Dependencies should be populated, in my case it looks something like:
Now, open my-firstTest -> src/test/java -> com.milosev.app -> AppTest.java, right click on com.milosev.app -> New -> Class
Give the name like openChrome
Open your new file, in my case openChrome.java, and write something like:
package com.milosev.app; import junit.framework.TestCase; import org.junit.Test; import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; public class openChrome extends TestCase { WebDriver driver; @Test public void testDevice_183_102_1152921504606846975() throws InterruptedException { System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\myUserName\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe"); driver = new ChromeDriver(); driver.get("http://www.google.com"); assertTrue(true); } }
Part C:\\Users\\myUserName\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe change with path where you downloaded your chromedriver.
After adding the code, there is possibility that @Test will be underlined with red color, which means that it is not recognized. In that case go with mouse over @Test, wait for drop down window, and click on "Add JUnit 4 library to the building path":
Click F11, and magic should happen.
Example project you can download from here, but be aware that this is my very first project made in Selenium / Java.
