8.Reporting in WebDriver

Email your failing Selenium WebDriver scripts’ Stack Trace to your Email Id

This is my new post and I am very excited because through this we would be able to find all Stack Trace of our failing WebDriver Scripts.This has been made possible through one of the Java Mail API.
1- Pre-requisite
First we need to download two jar files
1- javaee-api-5.0.3.jar
2- javamail1_4_7.zip
download both file from here
In this Java Mail API we use mainly two packages
1) javax.mail.internet.
2) javax.mail
In general we use three steps to send mails using Javamail API
1- Session Object creation that stores all the information like Host name, username and password
like this
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(“usermail_id”,”password”);
}
})
2- Setting Subject and Message body like this
message.setSubject(“Testing Subject”); //this line is used for setting Subject line
message.setText(“your test has failed <============================>”+ExceptionUtils.getStackTrace(e) );
3- Sending mail that could be done with this line of code
Transport.send(message);
2- Now I am pasting here my code of Mail sending class
package test_Scripts;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.exception.ExceptionUtils;
public class SendMail{
public SendMail(String fromMail,String tomail, Exception e )
{
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",
"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,
new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication("Email_Id","password");
}
});
try {
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromMail));
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(tomail));
message.setSubject("Script failed");
message.setText("your test has failed for script name:Name of your scipt <============================>"+ ExceptionUtils.getStackTrace(e) );
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Done");
} catch (MessagingException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException(ex);
}
}
}
I have written one class SendMail with one constructor with three parameter. that I would call in my WebDriver script. and When My code would fail some where then It will send the Stack Trace.
3- My script of WebDriver

package test_Scripts;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class Except {
WebDriver d;
@BeforeMethod
public void launch()
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:\DD MISHRA\workspace\chromedriver_win_26.0.1383.0\chromedriver.exe");
d = new ChromeDriver();
}
@Test
public void test()
{
d.get("www.gmail.com");
try{
WebElement element= d.findElement(By.xpath("//div/span"));
element.sendKeys("dwarika");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
new SendMail("Sender_Mailid","Receiver_Mailid",e);
}
}
}

I have tried this code and find that we can use it in our selenium Scripting for sending mail for failing scripts. but I am hoping some more valuable advise from you people to use it in more optimized form..So if you have any other method then please let me know about the same.

Junit: Rerun failed Test cases instantly..!!

We guys encounter sometime in need to rerun our failed test cases instantly, But if we wanna retry our test case twice/thrice etc then it is not achievable with Junit. But if we are following TestNG we can do that very fast.
For Junit, How we can achieve is mentioned below:-
We can run this by defining a TestRule, This will give you the flexibility you need. A TestRule allows you to insert logic around the test, so you would implement the retry loop. For this you need to define a class in your framework :-
public class RetryTest {
public static class Retry implements TestRule {
private int retryCount;
public Retry(int retryCount) {
this.retryCount = retryCount;
}
public Statement apply(Statement base, Description description) {
return statement(base, description);
}
private Statement statement(final Statement base, final Description description) {
return new Statement() {
@Override
public void evaluate() throws Throwable {
Throwable caughtThrowable = null;
// implement retry logic here
for (int i = 0; i < retryCount; i++) {
try {
base.evaluate();
return;
} catch (Throwable t) {
caughtThrowable = t;
System.err.println(description.getDisplayName() + “: run ” + (i+1) + ” failed”);
}
}
System.err.println(description.getDisplayName() + “: giving up after ” + retryCount + ” failures”);
throw caughtThrowable;
}
};
}
}
}
================================================================
Now its very simple to rerun the test case with adding the rule before @Test:-
Say we want to run 3 retry for our test case
@Rule public Retry retry = new Retry(3);
