[Updated] ExecuteAutomation speech in New Zealand – Meetup 1

Dear Friends,

I am pretty excited to share you all, probably you might have know that before, I am going to talk for the first time in Auckland, New Zealand @WeTest community meetup on BDD with Specflow.

We are expecting to have around 60+ participant from across Auckland joining physically since we have space limitation, but there are still around 40+ waiting list to attend the meetup, and many have shown interest from across the globe to participate but unfortunately not everyone can fly for just 1 hour session, hence we are going to Go Live in YouTube on 12th Dec as shown below

Please Join with me for complete session happening on 12th Dec right from your Mobile/Desktop.

 

Update

Meetup yesterday was fantastic and I could see lot of people turn around even during their busy working day schedule, great questions and great hospitality from Clearpoint.

Selenium PageFactory does not work in .NET Core 2.0

In this post we will discuss one of the recent burning issue with Selenium PageFactory which does not work in .NET Core 2.0 framework.

Selenium 3.6.0 and 3.7.0 are the first official package to natively support .Net Standard 2.0 as opposed to earlier version which even though works in .NET Core 2.0 framework, will still see warnings in references as shown below

 

But the problem now with Selenium 3.6.0 and Selenium 3.7.0 is its missing one of the most important Class PageFactory used for Page Object Model and Page Navigation, which we can literally see from the Object browser of visual studio in comparison with .NET framework 4.7

 

Here is the change log of Selenium 3.6.0

Here is the complete video of the above discussion

Thanks for reading the post and watching the video!!!

Please leave your comments and let me know if there is anything I should update in this post.

Thanks,

Running Chrome in headless mode with Selenium C#

In this post we are going to discuss about running Chrome in headless mode with Selenium C#

Chrome headless

Headless Chrome is a way to run Chrome browser without the actual browser UI being spawned. Essentially its running Chrome without chrome! It brings all modern web platform features provided by Chromium and the Blink rendering engine to the command line and automation testing tool such as Selenium in our case

Where is it useful ?

  • A headless browser is a great tool for automated testing and server environments where you don’t need a visible UI shell.
  • And again its not a completely new technology, since there are other big players in this area such as
    • PhantomJS
    • HTMLUnitDriver

So when is Chrome Headless available ?

  • Chrome Headless is supported from Chrome 59.x and above.
  • The current stable version for Windows 10 is Chrome 60.x
  • ChromeDriver v2.30 and above supports headless mode

What changes should I make in my Existing Selenium test ?
