Selene + Pytest tests project template

Overview and general guidelines

This is a template project. It's supposed to be cloned or downloaded and edited according to your needs.

The project itself reflects an implementation of acceptance web ui tests for a "web", i.e. as "application under test" we consider here the "whole web", under "root pages" we mean "web sites", under "sub-pages" we mean "web site pages". Take this into account when applying the template to your context;)

Hence, download it, rename the project folder to something like my-product-test, then rename the modules correspondingly (like web_test to my_product_test, etc...), edit the "project" section in pyproject.toml to something like:

[tool.poetry]
name = "my-product-test"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "my product web ui acceptance tests"
authors = ["Your Name <your.name@yourcompanymailbox.com>"]

...

And you should be ready to go ;)

You can also consider keeping the template examples for some time. Maybe just leave web_test package as it is, and add your own my_product_test module. Then duplicate the tests folder, edit the copy as you need, while keeping the original tests folder under another name, e.g. examples;)

Pay attention to a lot of comments and docstrings in code to understand what happens. You will find different styles of implementing page-objects. Probably you will need only one style in your case. So read all explanations and choose the one that fits your needs.

Installation

Given installed:

• pyenv + python
• poetry
• allure

Clone template with git clone

Do in your favourite terminal:

cd $YOUR_PROJECT_FOLDER_PATH
poetry install
poetry shell

So you can run your tests via:

pytest tests/

The ./run folder contains a bunch shell scripts as examples of different variations of running tests and other tasks, like setting selenoid up & running. To make them runnable do in your unix terminal inside $YOUR_PROJECT_FOLDER_PATH :

chmod -R u+x run

Now you can do something like:

./run/tests_and_reserve_report.sh

or even passing additional args, for example to filter only tests marked as "smoke":

./run/tests_and_reserve_report.sh -m smoke

Some scripts expects at least one argument, like in this example:

./run/tests_marked_by.sh smoke

Or this:

./run/tests_remote_on.sh http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub

Some needs docker and docker-compose to be preinstalled, so you can pull all needed browser images:

./run/pull_docker_images_for_selenoid_browsers.sh

And get selenoid up and running:

./run/start_up/selenoid_with_ui.sh

You might want to check corresponding etc/selenoid/compose.yaml docker-dompose file and tune it to your needs.

Check all scripts to see more examples of the framework usage, tune and remove not needed ones, according to your needs.

So you are ready to go;) Feel free to use your editor of choice to surf the code base, and tune it correspondingly.

          browser.element('[name=q]')\
              .should(be.blank)\

              .should(have.size_greater_than(5)) \
              .first.should(have.text('User-oriented Web UI browser tests'))
      
          browser.all('.result__body').first.element('a').click()
          browser.should(have.title_containing('yashaka/selene'))

    • reported test body

      

  • example of reported test case with PageObejcts

    • code:

      def test_ecosia():
          ecosia.open()
      
          ecosia.search('selene python')
          ecosia.results\
              .should_have_size_at_least(5)\
              .should_have_text(0, 'User-oriented Web UI browser tests')
      
          ecosia.results.follow_link(0)
          github.should_be_on('yashaka/selene')

    • reported
      • test body
      • sub-steps
  • reporting steps with automatic rendering of
    • underscores to spaces
    • inline params
    • context of step-function (object, class or module)
    • actions on raw selene elements
  • last screenshot and page-source are attached to test body on failure

  • use allure webserver to see reports with webui:

    allure serve reports
