Feature file:

Feature: Log User in. I want to log Admin User in

    @firstTest
    Scenario: Login Admin user
      Given that user launches the browser
      When user enters login details and click login button    
    
    **Step definition class** This is what I have done so far:
    
              
    public class login_StepDefinition {
        
        @Steps
        LoginSteps loginstep;
        
    
        @Given("that user launches the browser")
        public void that_user_launches_the_browser() throws IOException {
            loginstep.openBrowser();
           
        }       
    
        @When("user enters login details and click login button")
        public void user_enters_login_details_and_click_login_button() {        
            loginstep.enterLoginCredentials();
           
        }     
    }

Steps class:

public class LoginSteps {       
        
        LoginPage loginpage = new LoginPage();
        
        @Step
        public void openBrowser() throws IOException{
            SetUp_PageObject.launchURL();
        }
        
        @Step
        public void enterLoginCredentials(){
            loginpage.enterUserName();          
        }    
    }
    
    **Java class extending page Object:**    
        
    public class LoginPage extends PageObject{  
        
        Action action= new Action();    
        
        @FindBy(xpath="//input[@id='user_login']") @CacheLookup   WebElement userName;      
        
            
        public void enterUserName(){    
            //System.out.println("what is this: "+ ReadFile.parseConf_File("USERNAME"));

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(SetUp_PageObject.driver, 15); 
        WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(userName));
            userName.sendKeys("kate@me.com");           
        }       
    }

SetUp class:

public class SetUp_PageObject {

        public static WebDriver driver;
        final static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(SetUp_PageObject.class);      
        static boolean verifyFileExist = ReadFile.Verify_Setup_Conf_File_Exist();
        

        public static void launchURL() throws IOException{              
            
                /*Verify Config file exist*/
                if(verifyFileExist == true){                    
                    log.info("Config file exist, continue ....");
                    log.info(DetectOS());}              
                else {log.info("Config file DOES NOT exist, pause ....");}
                
                
                String exepath = "chromedriver.exe";
                System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", exepath); 
                ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
                options.setPageLoadStrategy(PageLoadStrategy.EAGER);                
                driver = new ChromeDriver(options); 
                
                driver.manage().window().maximize();
                driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
                driver.get(ReadFile.parseConf_File("scorebuddy_5.6.11"));

  • Not sure from where your code is reading firefox driver. Meanwhile try to perform mvn clean install. If your code is reading old class files then it will get updated. – Being Automation Feb 18 '20 at 15:08
  • @BeingAutomation i just deleted my m2 folder and eclipse .metadata folder as well. closed my project and reopened it, ran mvn clean install with a success build but am still getting same error. have tried to figure out where this error is coming from but all to no avail, pls help me – Sandra Feb 19 '20 at 09:12
  • There is a lot of code here, and your choice of formatting does not help. If you could narrow it down to [mcve] it would be easier to help. Start with a new project, see if you can get Chrome to open something like google-dot-com; no other code. – SiKing Feb 19 '20 at 15:53
  • @SiKing I tried to narrow down the code to make it more readable and to understand whats going on, The chrome driver launches successfully with the URL specified but when it hits sendkey to username field, i get that error. – Sandra Feb 20 '20 at 08:36

Lets do some work around, can you please place the below code above this statement

driver = new chromeDriver(options);                                                          

Here, these below statements are tying to get some preferences using options and that has to be passed chromeDriver as an argument.

ConcurrentHashMap<String, Object> chromePrefs = new ConcurrentHashMap<String, Object>();
chromePrefs.put("profile.default_content_settings.popups", 0);

/*Chrome Arguments*/
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePrefs);
options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false);
options.addArguments("--test-type");
options.addArguments("--ignore-certificate-errors");                            
options.addArguments("--no-first-run");
options.addArguments("homepage=about:blank");               

/*Desired Capabilities*/
DesiredCapabilities Capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
Capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
Capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PAGE_LOAD_STRATEGY, "none");
Capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
Capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.SUPPORTS_ALERTS, true);
options.merge(Capabilities);

  • I discovered that serenity runs differently, have modified the code and the new error am getting, now its launching the browser but launching 2 instances of chromedriver and the error updated as well. – Sandra Feb 20 '20 at 13:16
