Setup:<\/h3>\n\n- You will need to fork and clone\u00a0<\/span>qxf2’s page object model<\/a>\u00a0repo.<\/li>\n
- Follow the setup instructions mentioned in the\u00a0<\/span>Readme.md<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nHow capturing screenshots are implemented in Qxf2’s framework:<\/h3>\n
We have written a screenshot method in the utils\/wrapit.py file. This method is used as a decorator and this\u00a0decorator is called before every method in Page Objects.<\/span> You can refer to Understanding Python decorators<\/a> blog to know how decorators work in Python.
\nWe use a wrapper @Wrapit._screenshot before a test method to take screenshots. The below code sets the name in the text field predefined with the decorator.<\/p>\n@Wrapit._screenshot\r\ndef set_name(self,name):\r\n \"Set the name on the form\"\r\n result_flag = self.set_text(self.name_field,name)<\/pre>\nWhen a\u00a0@Wrapit._screenshot is called before the test method, the test method itself is passed as a parameter to the method screenshot. There is another method under screenshot namely wrapper which stores this test method name to use for screenshot name and executes this test method and captures the screenshot.\u00a0There is a screenshot counter which keeps incrementing after capturing each screenshot.<\/p>\n
def _screenshot(func):\r\n \"Decorator for taking screenshots\"\r\n #Usage: Make this the first decorator to a method (right above the 'def function_name' line)\r\n #Otherwise, we cannot name the screenshot with the name of the function that called it\r\n def wrapper(*args,**kwargs):\r\n result = func(*args,**kwargs)\r\n screenshot_name = '%003d'%args[0].screenshot_counter + '_' + func.__name__\r\n args[0].screenshot_counter += 1\r\n args[0].save_screenshot(screenshot_name)\r\n return result\r\n return wrapper\r\n _screenshot = staticmethod(_screenshot)<\/pre>\nIn a similar way, the screenshots for other Page Object methods are captured.\u00a0<\/span>Once the screenshots are captured,\u00a0the screenshots are converted into a Gif file and stored on the same Screenshot folder. You can refer to\u00a0Converting test screenshots into Gif<\/a> to understand how a Gif file is created.<\/p>\n
\nHow to run:<\/h3>\n\n- I hope you have already cloned\u00a0<\/span>qxf2 page object model<\/a>\u00a0repo and followed the setup section of our\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Readme.md<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>file.<\/li>\n
- Next, open up Gitbash and execute\u00a0<\/span>pytest -k example_form<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>command.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A screenshot folder will be created for every test script inside the parent screenshot directory.\u00a0At the end of the test run, you will see the Screenshots and Gif file created under “\/Screenshot\/executed test run\/” folder.<\/span><\/p>\n
