Is it possible to execute different sets of data in parallel

[Tulsi tester]

Hi All,

I have the following requirement. I have 3 sets of data for login functionality for gmail application. I am writing one test method for login functionality and one data provider method to read the data with parallel=true

@Test(dataprovider="data")

public void testLogin(String username,String password)

{

//need to do login functionality

}

@Dataprovider(name="data", parallel=true)

public object[][] getData(){

   returning data from here

}

and i have the testng.xml as 

<suite name="parallesuite"  parallel="tests" thread-count="4" data-provider-thread-count="10">

<test name="paralletest"  parallel="methods">

<classes>

<class name="hybridframe.RegistrationTest"></class>

</classes>

</test>

</suite>

I am able to start the browsers but facing the problem of input the data. Selenium inputs the complete rows of data as a single row and inserts 3 usernames as single username into one browser. 

Please let me know how to solve this issue.

Tulsi,

As I mentioned in the selenium-users forum, the problem is with your test code.

Your test code must be looking kind of the below for you to experience this problem

public class ASampleClass {

  private WebDriver driver;

  

  @Test(dataprovider="data")

  public void testLogin(String username,String password) {

    driver = new FirefoxDriver();

    

  }

  @Dataprovider(name="data", parallel=true)

  public object[][] getData(){

   //returning data from here

  }  

}

When the above mentioned test method runs in parallel all the threads literally end up sharing the same data member “driver”. You would need to move the variable declaration into your @Test annotated test method for you to get past the problem.

Thanks & Regards

HI Krishnan,

Assuming the same code which you posted, lets say instead of 1 @Test , if i have 100 then it becomes redundant to declare variable under each @Test.

Can we create a generic method which would instantiate webdriver using Thread.Local. I would try this but just want to understand if it would work.

Thanks,

Sunny

Its still going to be the same redundancy. ThreadLocal is basically geared towards thread safety.
