Selenium Data-driven Text file | @DataProvider


Note|  Text in Blue [#PYTHON] and Orange [#JAVA] can be edited or mentioned important for the entire blog. All the posts are practically done by me.


This is the continuation of one my previous topics, #link.  In this method, we are using @dataProvider annotation on TestNG to fetch keywords from a Text file and passing the arguments to Test class. This is our (Prashanth Sams + Karthikeyan) implementation to work with Text file via dataprovider.


Text File | @DataProvider

The below example illustrates on how to work with @dataprovider in-order to fetch values from a text file.

1| Create a Test class file similar to the one given below:


package packagename;

import java.util.HashMap;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.DataProvider;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class Google {
    private WebDriver driver;

    @DataProvider(name="keywords")
    public Object[][] data() throws Exception {
        HashMap<String,String[]> dataSet= new Text2TestData(System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\config.txt").getData();
        
        String search1Strings[]=dataSet.get("search1");
        String search2Strings[]=dataSet.get("search2");
        int size =search1Strings.length;
   
        // modify 2 upon the no. of rows; Here, I used two rows, 'search1' & 'search2'
        Object[][] creds = new Object[size][2];  
        for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
        {
            creds[i][0]=search1Strings[i];
            creds[i][1]=search2Strings[i];
        }
        return creds;
    }


    @BeforeTest
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        driver = new ChromeDriver();

    }

    @Test(dataProvider = "keywords", description = "Google_Test")
    public void search(String search1, String search2) throws Exception {
   
        driver.get("http://www.google.co.in");

        // search google via keyword 1
        driver.findElement(By.name("q")).clear();
        driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys("" + search1);
        driver.findElement(By.name("q")).submit();
        Thread.sleep(4000);

        // search google via keyword 1
        driver.findElement(By.name("q")).clear();
        driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys("" + search2);
        driver.findElement(By.name("q")).submit();
        Thread.sleep(4000);

    }
    
    @AfterTest
    public void tearDown() throws Exception {
        driver.quit();
    }

}



Text2TestData

2| Create another java class file, 'Text2TestData' under the same package.


package packagename;

import java.io.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashMap;

public class Text2TestData {

    private String fileLocation;

    public Text2TestData(String fileLocation) {
        this.fileLocation = fileLocation;
    }

    public HashMap<String,String[]> getData(){
        FileInputStream fs;
        HashMap<String,String[]> keyValuePair=new HashMap<String,String[]>();
        try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileLocation))){
            String stringLine;
            //Read File Line By Line
            while ((stringLine = br.readLine()) != null)   {
                // Print the content on the console
                String[] keyValue=stringLine.split("=");
                keyValuePair.put(keyValue[0],keyValue[1].split(","));
            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return keyValuePair;
    }


}



3| Create a text data-source file similar to the contents given below separated with comma (,)

search1=Prashanth Sams,bypasshacker
search2=seleniumworks.com,bypasshacker.blogspot.com

4| Now, place the config.txt file inside your project
5| Save the file and run test :)
