Need help in adding new section is app.config in specflow project

[Bharat C]

Hi

I am adding a new section "users" to app.config. I have added config handler to read values from app.config. The problem is I am always getting null when I try to read users. Below are files, please help me if I miss any thing.

Command used to read:

var users = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("Users");

App.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<configuration>

  <configSections>

    <section name="specFlow" type="TechTalk.SpecFlow.Configuration.ConfigurationSectionHandler, TechTalk.SpecFlow" />

    <section name="users" type="Browser_Feature_Tests.UserConfigHandler, Browser_Feature_Tests" />

  </configSections>

  <specFlow>

    <!-- For additional details on SpecFlow configuration options see http://go.specflow.org/doc-config -->

  <!-- For additional details on SpecFlow configuration options see http://go.specflow.org/doc-config --><unitTestProvider name="NUnit" /></specFlow>

  <users>

    <user usertype="csr" username="abc" password="xxx" />

    <user usertype="admin" username="xyz" password="xxx" />

  </users>

</configuration>

UserConfigHandler.cs

namespace Browser_Feature_Tests

{

    public class UserConfigHandler : ConfigurationSection

    {

        [ConfigurationProperty("users")]

        [ConfigurationCollection(typeof(UserCollection), AddItemName = "user")]

        public UserCollection Users 

        { 

            get { return (UserCollection)base["users"]; }

            set { this["users"] = value; }

        }

    }

    public class UserCollection : ConfigurationElementCollection

    {

        protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement()

        {

            return new UserElement();

        }

        protected override object GetElementKey(ConfigurationElement element)

        {

            return ((UserElement)element).UserType;

        }

    }

    public class UserElement : ConfigurationElement

    {

        [ConfigurationProperty("usertype", IsRequired=true)]

        public string UserType

        {

            get { return (string)this["usertype"]; }

            set { this["usertype"] = value; }

        }

        [ConfigurationProperty("username", IsRequired = true)]

        public string UserName

        {

            get { return (string)this["username"]; }

            set { this["username"] = value; }

        }

        [ConfigurationProperty("password", IsRequired = true)]

        public string Password

        {

            get { return (string)this["password"]; }

            set { this["password"] = value; }

        }

    }

}

Based on your other posts, if you are trying to execute your code in multiple environments you might want to try this. 

create a line in your app.config:

<add key="Environment" value="test" />

Create a data.cs file

     

 public class EnvData
        {
            public EnvData()
            {
                if (ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Environment"] == "test")
                {
                    defaultEmailLogin = "te...@no.com";
                    defaultPassword = "Tesing@987";
                }


                else if (ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Environment"] == "dev")


                {
                    defaultEmailLogin = "te...@no.com";
                    defaultPassword = "Tesing@123";
                }
            }
 
 public static string defaultEmailLogin;
 public static string defaultPassword;
 }

Add the below to your steps file:

 private readonly EnvData _envData;
        public LoginSteps(EnvData envData )
        {
            _envData = envData;
        }

Your steps will look like this:

 [Given(@"I login as my default user")]
        public void GivenILoginAsMyDefaultUser()
        {
           Pages.LoginPage.VerifyPageReady();
            Pages.LoginPage.TypeEmail(EnvData.defaultEmailLogin);
            Pages.LoginPage.TypePassword(EnvData.defaultPassword);
            Pages.LoginPage.ClickSignInButton();
        }
