Selenium

Trying to find a nice way to test application with code generation in mind and using the PageFactory pattern

Pages

@Page
public class LoginPage {
    @FindBy(id = "j_username")
    public WebElement user;
    @FindBy(id = "j_password")
    public WebElement password;
    @FindBy(name = "submit")
    public WebElement submit;
    Client client;

    public void login(String _user, String _password) {
        client.fill(user, _user);
        client.fill(password, _password);
        client.click(submit);
    }
}

Test

and the tests feels like this

    @Test
    public void as_an_admin_I_update_a_user() throws InterruptedException {
        client.page("/app/home?locale=en");
        String userName = "user19";

        client.step("Login as cnorris, and verify it is not valid");
        client.click(anonymousHomePage.connexionLink);
        loginPage.login("cnorris", "kickass");
        client.text("Invalid login or password");

        client.step("Login as admin");
        loginPage.login("admin", "admin");
        client.click(loggedHomePage.accountLink);
        assertThat(accountSearchPage.searchResultsRegion.getText()).isEmpty();

        client.step("Search by mail and verify ajax, next/previous navigation");
        accountSearchPage.searchByEmail("1");
        client.difference(accountSearchPage.searchResultsRegion, "");
        client.text(accountSearchPage.paginatorText, "1 / 2");
        assertThat(accountSearchPage.searchResultsRegion.getText()).isEqualTo("13 results");
        client.click(accountSearchPage.paginatorNextButton);
        client.text(accountSearchPage.paginatorText, "2 / 2");
        client.click(accountSearchPage.paginatorPrevButton);
        client.text(accountSearchPage.paginatorText, "1 / 2");

        client.step("Search by username, select the user, and update its value");
        accountSearchPage.searchByUsername(userName);
        client.text(userName + "@example.com");
        accountSearchPage.clickEditAccount(userName);
        client.text("Username (required)");
        accountEditPage.update("cnorris", "kickass", "gmail@chucknorris.com");
        client.click(accountEditPage.submit);
        client.text("Submitted data received, validation skipped, binded on model, not saved in database");

        client.step("Add a ROLE_ADMIN to the selected user");
        client.click(accountEditPage.rolesTab);
        client.click(accountRoleTab.selectButton);
        roleSearchPage.searchByRolename("ADMIN");
        roleSearchPage.clickSelectRole("ROLE_ADMIN");
        client.text("Roles: Selected existing and added it, but not saved in database");

        client.step("Add a document");
        client.click(accountEditPage.documentsTab);
        client.click(documentTab.addButton);
        documentEditPage.send("README");
        client.warning("Error is expected");
        client.text("Invalid file type.");
        documentEditPage.send("src/test/resources/for_upload.txt");
        client.click(documentTab.submit);

        client.step("Save to database");
        client.click(accountEditPage.save);
        client.text("Saved OK in database");

        client.step("Logout");
        client.click(loggedHomePage.logoutLink);

        client.step("Let's try to log as cnorris as set previously");
        client.click(anonymousHomePage.connexionLink);
        loginPage.login("cnorris", "kickass");
        client.click(loggedHomePage.accountLink);
        client.click(loggedHomePage.logoutLink);

        client.step("Now log back as admin and search for chuck norris");
        client.click(anonymousHomePage.connexionLink);
        loginPage.login("admin", "admin");
        client.click(loggedHomePage.accountLink);
        accountSearchPage.searchByUsername("cnorris");
        client.text("gmail@chucknorris.com");

        client.step("Select account and revert previous changes");
        accountSearchPage.clickEditAccount("cnorris");
        client.text("Username (required)");
        accountEditPage.update(userName, userName, userName + "@example.com");
        client.click(accountEditPage.booksTab);
        client.click(accountEditPage.documentsTab);
        client.click(accountEditPage.rolesTab);
        accountRoleTab.clickDeleteRole("ROLE_ADMIN");
        client.click(accountEditPage.save);

        client.text("Saved OK in database");
    }
