First project with maven + selenium + IntelliJ

[Aleksandar]

Hi, 

I am trying to set up my first project with selenium + maven + IntelliJ.

So as first step i followed

http://seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.html

then i added my project into IntelliJ by following 

http://seleniumhq.org/docs/appendix_installing_java_driver_Sel20_via_maven.html#importing-maven-into-intellij-reference

I didn't do anything outside what is written in thous two pages but when I build the project there is an error message

The only thing i have in my class is:

error: cannot access RemoteWebDriver

class file for org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver not found

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType;

public class MyAppHomePageTest

{

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

        WebDriver driver;

        driver = new FirefoxDriver();

    }

}

What could be the problem, i Maven should have downloaded all dependencies?

My pom file is as the example (http://seleniumhq.org/docs/appendix_installing_java_driver_client.html) so this should work or the documentation on the seleniumhq.org is incorrect.

I just need one working example to start with my first steep (to create a call to the browser) after that it will be easy.

Thank you

I have a Selenium maven template available here, give it a go:

 

https://github.com/Ardesco/Selenium-Maven-Template

 

Your POM looks fine, although you are using selenium-java, rather than selenium-server so you aren’t pulling down everything available (You should be pulling down enough to write and run tests though).

 

I don’t know if you have things in the correct maven file structure, the above template will show you what that is if you aren’t sure (as will the maven documentation)

 

Have you performed a maven reimport in IntelliJ IDEA?

 

To do this click on the “Maven Projects” tab on the right side of the IDE and then the refresh icon on the top left of the box that has opened up.  This will sync IDEA with your local maven repo (Or download the dependencies if you don’t have them in your local Maven repo).

Thanks, yore example works. 

Do you by any chance have a step by step instructions how to get to the stage you are in the project you sent me?

I understand the code part I just need the setup instructions how to get to the section where you can actually start writing yore code.

Thanks

The setup is literally create the POM file and the directory structure as shown in the example project.  Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Maven has a specific directory structure as described here:

 

http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html

 

The POM file I’m using is pretty minimal; it just has dependencies on selenium, opera driver and junit (as I use junit and not TestNG).  For details on getting started with maven have a look here:

 

http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html

 

The template is basically designed to give you a POM with the basic maven structure pre-configured so that you can just add in new test cases, the only thing you would probably want to do is delete the com.lazerycode.selenium package and create your own package structure (the convention for the package structure is your domain in reverse, so www.google.com would become a package called com.google.www) and then create your own java class files that have tests.

 

If there is anything specific I have missed that you want clarified, let me know.

Thank you for yore detail explanation, one more question.

You don't actually use something like: 

mvn clean install

Because I thought that once yo use the mvn install, mnv will actually create the folder structure.. 

I was following the instruction on the maven hope page and they always have create the pom and then use install command, then import it in the Eclipse or IntelliJ. But if I do that and try to build my project through Eclipse or IntelliJ won't build (there will be a lot of errors)

Thanks

Mvn clean install is actually used to clear your target directory (where all your .class files reside) then do

1. Compilation

2. Run unit tests

3. Create a jar file of your project

4. Deploy it to your local maven repo (~/.m2)

I dont know about Intellij but in eclipse you would need the eclipse maven plugin in order to be able to build a maven project. 

Have you installed it in eclipse?

Yes, I did install the eclipse plugin for Maven and IntelliJ has a built in support for Maven.

Ok will start without actually building the solution in Maven, will follow Marks approach and once I get a little more familiar with Maven will try to actually use it in other ways.

Thanks for the reply

No you have to create the project structure manually, you can have a non standard project structure for maven and modify the file paths in your POM but it’s not something you should do really if you want people with maven experience to know where everything is.
