08 Select Oneway Flight

Introduce Xpath locator and drive a select list.

Learning Objectives

• Clone an existing test script file

• XPath Locator

• Drive a Select (Combo) box in Selenium WebDriver

• Review

  • enter TestWise debugging mode

  • work on individual test steps (one by one) in TestWise debugging mode

  • copy the working test steps over to complete the test script.

Test Case 08

After login (session #04), perform the four steps as shown in the task card. Ignore the selecting departing dates for now.

A reminder: perform manual testing first.

Test Design

First of all, this will be a new test script file, with two test cases. These two test cases are similar.

1. Start a new test script

2. Can copy over the previous login steps over.

3. Click the one-way radio button

4. Select a departure city

5. Select a destination city

6. Click the continue button

7. Assert the “ departure city to destination city

Tasks

Task 1. Clone an existing test script

Highlight the login script file (`07-login_spec.rb’) and select “Refactor” → “Copy File …”.

In the “Copy File” dialog, enter the new file name, in this case, ‘08-select_flight_spec.rb’.

You change change a different name. This is a test script file, must end with ‘_spec.rb’.

Also, dont include space or special characters in a file name.

A new test script file ‘08-select_flight_spec.rb’ will be created with the content from the ‘login_spec.rb’.

Tip: After copy-n-paste, I immediately put my mind in alert mode. Why? I have been “lazy”. I must act quickly to change the copied code.

Update the “test group name” and “test case name” (as bolded below).

describe "Select Flights" do
  include TestHelper

  before(:all) do
    # browser_type, site_url defined in test_helper.rb
    @driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(browser_type, browser_options)
    driver.manage().window().resize_to(1280, 800)
    driver.get("https://travel.agileway.net")
  end

  after(:all) do
    driver.quit unless debugging?
  end

  it "User can select one way trip" do
    driver.find_element(:id, "username").send_keys("agileway")
    driver.find_element(:name, "password").send_keys("testwise")
    driver.find_element(:name, "commit").click
    expect(page_text).to include("Signed in!")
    # ...
  end

end

Also, I append “#…” (comment) to remind me that the test case is incomplete.

Task 2. Start developing a new test case, one-way trip.

Repeat the process of how we did our login test:

1. Run the test case
   (individual test execution mode)

   

2. After the test execution completes, focus on the Chrome browser window

3. Prepare to inspect the control of the next operation, in this case, the “one-way radio button”.
   (you did manual testing first, right?)

Task 3. Click the one-way radio button

Right-click the radio button, and get its HTML:

<input type="radio" name="tripType" value="oneway" onclick="$('#returnTrip').hide();">

There is no ID, seems a good case for the NAME locator.
