Selenium C# I moved my driver variable from HomePage.cs class to the TestFixture.cs class because I want the browser variable to be instantiated in the setup of TestFixture.
E.g.
[SetUp]
public void FixtureSetup() {
driver1 = new FirefoxDriver();
driver1.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://localhost:8080/searchtest");
}
I am getting the error:
The name driver 1 does not exist in the current context File: HomePage.cs
I think it cannot find the variable "driver1" If i want to use this variable from the TestFixture class in other classes, HomePage.cs I thought if i define the var as public the other classes should be able to access the variable.
What is the best way I can solve this? Should i put the "driver1" variable in a globals.cs class?
My code snippet is as follows:
class TestFixture.cs
using NUnit.Framework;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.PageObjects;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using SearchTest.Setup;
using earchTest.PageObjects;
namespace GoogleSearchTest.Setup
{
[SetUpFixture]
//public class TestConfiguration : SeleniumDriver
public class TestConfiguration
{
public IWebDriver driver1;
[SetUp]
public void FixtureSetup()
{
driver1 = new FirefoxDriver();
driver1.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://localhost:8080/searchtest");
}
[TearDown]
public void FixtureTearDown()
{
//if (WebDriver != null) WebDriver.Quit();
}
}
}
Class HomePage.cs
using System;

using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.PageObjects;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using NUnit.Framework;

namespace SearchTest.PageObjects
{
class HomePage : PageObjectBase
{
//private IWebDriver driver{ get; set; }
//private IWebDriver driver1 { get; set; }
[FindsBy(How = How.XPath, Using = ".//TITLE")]
public IWebElement Title{ get; set; }
// search text field on the homepage
//[FindsBy(How= How.Id, Using="twotabsearchtextbox")]
//private IWebElement Searchfield_ID { get; set; }
[FindsBy(How = How.XPath, Using = ".//*[@id='twotabsearchtextbox']")]
private IWebElement Searchfield_XPATH { get; set; }
[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = "nav-search-submit-text")]
private IWebElement SearchButton { get; set; }
[FindsBy(How = How.XPath, Using = ".//*[@id='nav-search']/form/div[2]/div/input")]
private IWebElement searchButton_Xpath {get; set;}
public HomePage() : base("Title - Search Test")
{
//driver1 = new FirefoxDriver();
//Console.Out.WriteLine("from Homepage Constructor Driver.title in SearchResultsPage class = " + driver.Title);
//driver1.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5)); // Set implicit wait timeouts to 5 secs
PageFactory.InitElements(driver1, this);
}
public void goToURL() {
//driver = new FirefoxDriver();
//driver1.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://localhost:8080/searchtest");
}
public void EnterSearchText(String text) {
Searchfield_XPATH.SendKeys(text);
}
public SearchResultsPage click_search_button() {
searchButton_Xpath.Click();
return new SearchResultsPage(driver1);
}
}
}
Class PageObjectBase.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
/* The PageObjectBase class. This class is to represent anything that applies to all pages
* of the site to be tested. The example here shows that you can pass in by default a
* Title from the driver to ensure that the correct page is loaded, but the intention * of this is to provide a base class so that codereplication is kept to a minimum
*/
namespace SearchTest.PageObjects
{
class PageObjectBase
{
private IWebDriver Driver { get; set; }
//public PageObjectBase(IWebDriver driver,String titleOfPage)
public PageObjectBase(String titleOfPage)
{
//Driver = driver;
Driver = new FirefoxDriver();
Console.Out.WriteLine("From base class driver.title = " + Driver.Title);
//if (Driver.Title != titleOfPage)
// throw new NoSuchWindowException("PageObjectBase: The Page Title doesnt match.");
}
}
}
In my Python code i have the SetUp as follows, how to do it in C#?:
BaseTestCase.py
import unittest
from selenium import webdriver
from Locators import Globals
from Pages import login
import time
import os
class BaseTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
@classmethod
def setUpClass(cls):
webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.INTERNETEXPLORER["unexpectedAlertBehaviour"] = "accept"
cls.driver = webdriver.Ie(Globals.IEdriver_path)
cls.driver.get(Globals.URL_riaz_pc)
cls.login_page = login.LoginPage(cls.driver)
cls.driver.implicitly_wait(120)
cls.driver.maximize_window()
@classmethod
def tearDownClass(cls):
time.sleep(5)
cls.login_page.click_logout()
cls.driver.close()
# kill the IEDriverServer process because it stays left open when test finishes. Multiple instances will remain otherwise every time a test runs.
print "Kill process IEDriverServer.exe"
os.system('taskkill /f /im IEDriverServer.exe')
Globals.py
IEdriver_path = "C:\Webdriver\IEDriverServer\IEDriverServer.exe"
URL_riaz_pc = "http://riaz-pc.company.local:8080/clearcore"
URL_test1 = "http://test1:8080/clearcore"
I am trying to follow a page object model in C# as I want to use BDD Specflow instead of Behave in Python.
My E.g. Steps file is:
using System;
using TechTalk.SpecFlow;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using NUnit.Framework;
using SearchTest.PageObjects;
namespace SearchTest
{
[Binding]
public class SearchSteps
{
private IWebDriver driver { get; set; }
PageObjects.HomePage home_page { get; set; }
private SearchResultsPage search_results_page;
[Given(@"I navigate to the page ""(.*)""")]
public void GivenINavigateToThePage(string p0)
{
//driver = new FirefoxDriver();
//driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://localhost:8080/searchtest");
home_page = new PageObjects.HomePage();
//home_page.goToURL();
}
etc...
Thanks, Riaz
