Execute Test on MS Edge

Now let’s see how to execute the same test in the MS Edge browser.

Pre-Requisites#

Make sure you have installed the latest version of MS Edge which is Chromium-based.

Config changes specific to MS Edge#

Edit the default.properties file under config folder, like below

# Web Config

# Web url of web application under test
web.url: http://google.com

# Target Browser. Supported values <any | chrome | firefox | msedge |responsive>
web.target: msedge

Execute test from IDE#

Creating separate config for MS Edge#

By default, the configs are read from default.properties.

However, we could create a separate config file for MsEdge. So instead of modifying default.properties let’s override it.

How do we override default.properties ?

Create a file msedge.properties and specify properties to override. That’s it.

Use msedge.properties config while running tests#

Now that we created a separate config for msedge, we need to supply it during test execution

Pass the config to the Gradle task as below:

./gradlew clean runWebTests -Dconfig=msedge

This would trigger the tests and msedge.properties as config. Once the execution is complete the Allure reports are can be fetched with the below command

./gradlew allureServe

Creating Gradle task to execute tests for msedge config#

Another way to execute tests is to create a Gradle task-specific to msedge config as below:

task runWebTestsOnMsedge(type: Test) {
    systemProperties = [
            config         :  "msedge"
    ]
    filter {
        excludeTestsMatching "*.mobile.*"
        excludeTestsMatching "*.api.*"
        excludeTestsMatching "*.db.*"
    }
    outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
    useTestNG {
        parallel = "methods"
        threadCount Integer.parseInt(System.getProperty("sessions", "2"))
        includeGroups System.getProperty("tags", "web")
        testLogging.showStandardStreams = true
        useDefaultListeners true
        outputDirectory = file("$buildDir/" + System.getProperty('tags', 'NONE'))
    }
}

Call the task like below:

./gradlew clean runWebTestsOnMsedge
