Dynamic webdriver.base.url

[Grégory Bougeard]

Hi,

I have to modify my thucydides tests for a new environment on which the webdriver.base url will be dynamic.

I will have urls like http://id.dev/foo where id will vary.

id might be in a data file for Parameterized jobs.

I think it's not possible out the box to handle this case, isn't it?

Hi,

Please write more details to your question. 

What you mean  "id will vary" ? Host will change during one test or in different test-suites, you want to use different host?

As I said, I might have a csv file which contains differents ids and wihch should be applied in the base url.

my base.urls could be :

http://1.dev/foo

http://2.dev/foo

for a file like this :

ID,LOGIN,PWD

1,user1,pwd1

2,user2,pwd2

As I uderstand your issue, you can use this feature http://thucydides.info/docs/thucydides-one-page/thucydides.html#_data_driven_testing_using_csv_files and @Before annotation for JUnit.
Something like this:

...
@ManagedPages
public Pages pages;
@Before
public void set_preconditions_for_data_driven_test() {
String newBaseUrl = "http://" + getId() + ".dev/foo";
pages.getConfiguration().getEnvironmentVariables().setProperty(ThucydidesSystemProperty.BASE_URL.getPropertyName(), newBaseUrl);
}
@Test
public void data_driven_test() {
pages.get(AnyPage.class).open();
}
...
