Multiple Feature files launching multiple browser instances

[ALISTER ERNEST]

We have multiple feature files with their own step definitions as well as pulling from a common step definition class. When each feature file is run individually, the tests run great, but when all 3 feature files are run, they launch 3 instances of the browser and the tests end up randomly failing and passing. 

How to have just one instance of the browser launched and have these tests run sequentially. Also, if they run in parallel, how to ensure that there is no threading issue within the run causing the tests to randomly fail?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Kindly use Hooks. 

1. BeforeTestRun - get the instance of the driver

2. BeforeFeature/BefoeScenario - register the instance using IObjectContainer

3. Call driver instance in Feature Test Step binding class constructor

4. NOTE: do not call instance of driver in common Step binding class

5. PARALLEL EXECUTION. use default.srprofile (Spec Runner) and add testThreadCount=1/2/3

I hope it helps.

Regards,

Praveen

Hi Praveen, thank you very much for some of these pointers. I think the one thing I am missing is the srprofile. I will implement it and update you.
