In this article we will talk about running Selenium test with .Net core 2.0 Preview 2 using Visual Studio 2017 15.3
I am very happy and excited to write this article, since many of automation testers like you and me were waiting for this news and its finally happening !
Here is the System Requirement for running Selenium with .Net core
In this post we will discuss yet another useful feature introduced in NUnit 3.x where we can pass a parameter to NUnit test class of C# from Command Line Interface (CLI) using a new feature called –params
Passing parameters
Starting NUnit 3.x, there is an most awaited option introduced for Nunit-console runner, which is passing parameters to test method(s) via CLI using –params
What’s the use case of this?
Consider a scenario something like this, Lets say we have to test application with multiple browsers and we somehow have to parameterize the BrowserType like Firefox,Chrome,IE
Then, we can do it via CLI and pass the parameter to the whole framework to run test based on the parameter (browser type) that we passed.

Here is the complete modified code
You can checkout the complete code from GitHub here

In this post we will discuss how to handle multiple assert in Selenium with Assert.multiple of NUnit 3.6, this is one of the most requested feature of NUnit.
NUnit 3.6
Nunit 3.6 released by Jan 9th 2017 has number of notable improvement and features something like this
.NET Standard 1.6 is now supported
Adds support for Multiple Assert blocks
Added the –params option to NUnitLite
Theories now support Nullable enums
Improved assert error messages to help differentiate differences in values
Added warnings with Warn.If(), Warn.Unless() and Assert.Warn()
Enabled Path, File and Directory Asserts/Contraints for .NET Core testing
Added NonTestAssemblyAttribute for use by third-party developers to indicate that their assemblies reference the NUnit framework, but do not contain tests
Where is Assert.Multiple helpful ?
Consider a scenario something like this
Lets say we have to test multiple properties of an UI element in Selenium
In Nunit test framework, if the first assert fails (not meeting the condition), then the second assertion will not even takes place and the whole test fails (which we all know)
But using new Assert.Multiple method, the code can be written something like this
In our last post we discussed working with multiple data using DataTable and Custom classes of DataTable, in this post we will discuss working with cucumber hooks and how helpful it is to initialize and teardown different test artifacts
Cucumber hooks
If you are from Specflow background, you might have noticed there are different types of hooks available like
But unfortunately in cucumber for Java we only have two hooks
@After
@Before
Limitation in cucumber for Java
In Specflow, you can call hooks for each and every steps, features, scenario, scenario block or whole test run, but its not possible with cucumber for Java

We might need to supply multiple data instead of hardcoded value passed in steps from feature files, this happens most of the time while working with your project
This can be done using DataTable class available in Cucumber, basically DataTables are of type List<List<String>>
Table in the scenario looks something like this
Here is the complete videos of the above discussion
Working with DataTable using DataTable.raw()
Working with DataTable using custom class
