Hi,
I am trying to use TestNG and Selenium for UI testing. I have a
question on using @BeforeSuite and @AfterSuite annotations. I want to
setup and start selenium drivers in the @BeforeSuite annotated method
and stop in @AfterSuite. I have defined these in a class, say,
TestSuiteSetup
public class TestSuiteSetup () {
@BeforeSuite(alwaysRun = true)
public void setupSuite() {
...
}
@AfterSuite(alwaysRun = true)
public void tearDown() {
...
}
}
My test method are defined in separate classes, say LoginTest and
MainPageTest
public class LoginTest {
@Test(description = "Testdnvalid Login")
public void testInvalidLogin() {
}
@Test(description = "Test valid login")
public void testValidLogin () {
}
@Test(description = "Test logout.")
public void testLogout () {
}
}
public class MainPageTest {
@Test(description = "test banner")
public void testBanner () {
}
@Test(description = "test navigation")
public void testNavigation () {
}
}
The XML suite file looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >
<suite name="UI Tests - FireFox">
<listeners>
<listener class-name="org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter" />
<listener class-name="org.testng.reporters.XMLReporter" />
</listeners>
<parameter name="selenium.browser" value="*firefox" />
<parameter name="selenium.port" value="4444" />
<parameter name="test.login.username" value="test" />
<parameter name="test.login.password" value="test" />
<test name="LoginTest">
<classes>
<class name="LoginTest"></class>
</classes>
</test>
<test name="MainPage">
<classes>
<class name="MainPageTest"></class>
</classes>
</test>
</suite>
Where should I include the TestSuiteSetup. The setup and tear down
needs to be executed before and after the suite is executed. It works
if I include it in within the <classes> tag. Do I need to include it
in both the test definitions? But since this is for the suite, is
there a way to include this in the <suite> definition?
Thanks

Hi Anand,

You should be able to just specify TestSuiteSetup in one <test> tag (preferably its own <test> tag).

Thanks. Putting it in a separate <test> tag works.
<test name="SuiteSetup>

<class name="TestSuiteSetup"></class>

Anand,
If it's of any help to you, here's what I did in setting up the
@BeforeSuite & @AfterSuite for Selenium testing.
I defined a Base Test class(see code below), which contains the
@BeforeSuite & @AfterSuite methods.
The @BeforeSuite starts the Selenium RC driver instance, sets the
speed and logs in. The @AfterSuite logs out & shuts down.
Other test classes then extend this Base Test class. This way I only
need to refer to the Test classes in the xml file.
public class OAMBaseTestClass {
protected static OAMMainPage myOAMMainPage;
protected static SeleniumHelper selenium;
@BeforeSuite (alwaysRun = true)
@Parameters({"selenium.host","selenium.port","selenium.browser","selenium.url",
"selenium.speed", "username","password"})
public void Setup(String selHost, String selPort, String
selBrowser,String selURL, String selSpeed, String username, String
password) {
// Start the Selenium RC instance
selenium = new SuiteUtils().getSeleniumHelperInstance(selHost,
selPort, selBrowser, selURL);
selenium.setSpeed(selSpeed);
OAMLoginPage myOAMLoginPage = new OAMLoginPage(selenium);
OAMAppSelectorPage myOAMAppSelectorPage = new
OAMAppSelectorPage(selenium);
System.out.print("\n$$$Waiting for Login Page\n");
while (!myOAMLoginPage.isLoginPageLoaded()){
System.out.print(".");
}
if (myOAMLoginPage.functionLogin(username, password)){
System.out.print("\n$$$Login was successful\n");
myOAMAppSelectorPage.doClickOAMLink();
System.out.print("\n$$$OAM Link clicked...\n");
}
else {
selenium.takeScreenShot("LOGIN Failed");
new SuiteUtils().endSeleniumInstance(selenium);
fail("Failed to login");
}
}
@AfterSuite(alwaysRun = true)
public void SuiteTeardown (){
myOAMMainPage.doLogout();
new SuiteUtils().endSeleniumInstance(selenium);

Yes, that's another option.

Cédric
There are two minor drawbacks to this approach, though:
- All your test classes extend the set up class while only one really needs to.
- It forces your classes to extend from that class, and you might want to save that "extends" slot for a class that does something else than suite set up.
I don't believe either of these drawbacks are a big deal, though.

That's what I usually do as well.
I haven't faced any scenario that I would need to extend a different class yet.

Hi Cedric,
Yes, it seems to work quite well for my tests. Interestingly, it only
invokes the @BeforeSuite & @AfterSuite methods once when I put 2 test
classes into a single xml suite with 2 tests. If the 2 test classes
had different @BeforeSuite & @AfterSuite methods, which ones would be
invoked for the suite?
xml example below - is it correct?

Hi Liam,

Cédric
Yes, TestNG recognizes that the same method is being included more than once, and if that method is a @BeforeSuite/@AfterSuite, it will only run it once. Which is why it's safe to have all your test classes extend that set up suite, it's just a bit wasteful (but negligibly so).

Hi All,
I am also not able to follow the behaviour of annotations 'BeforeSuite' and 'AfterSuite' for my following implementation. When I use the tag <groups> to include a group in my Test, it does not execute the methods for above annotations. But when I comment out the <groups> tag in testng.xml both methods are executed at the expected sequence in test. Could someone please clarify why the use of tag <groups> hinder the execution of annotations 'BeforeSuite' and 'AfterSuite'. Thanks
public class ClassTwo {
@BeforeSuite
public void runsBeforeSuiteClassOne(){
System.out.println("Running before suite from ClassTwo");
}
@AfterSuite
public void runsAfterSuiteClassOne(){
System.out.println("Running after suite from ClassTwo");
}
@Test(groups={"groupTwo"},description="Testing in class two's method one")
public void methodOneFromClassTwo(){
System.out.println("Written from methodOneFromClassTwo");
}
}

Add the attribute alwaysRun=true to your before suite annotations and retry. They r not getting executed because you are selecting on groups and they are not part of any groups [ per your sample code ]

Hi Cedric:
I have one class SuiteSetup which only contains @BeforeSuite and @AfterSuite, however I don't want this class shows up in my report.
How can I do that? (On my report , I only want all classes names which does have the @Test in it )
BTW, I am using ISuite.

Sneha,
You would need to add a lot more context to your question. What exactly is the problem you are facing ? [ include stacktrace for e.g.,]
