SpecFlow with Coypu and Coypu BrowserSession manager

SpecFlow UI tests might be run with Selenium IWebDriver or, you might use Coypu framework (https://github.com/featurist/coypu).

With Coypu you can manage browsers and interact with elements on page. After Coypu description:

"If your tests are littered with sleeps, retries, complex XPath expressions and IDs dug out of the source with browser developer tools then Coypu might help."

Template

Specflow-coypu template with Coypu BrowserSession manager you will find on GitHub:

https://github.com/bazylMN/specflow-coypu

Coypu configuration for browsers

Choice between browsers is managed by 'GetBrowser()' method in BrowserSessionManager class:

public BrowserSession GetBrowser()

        {

            if (browser != null)

                return browser;

            var sessionConfiguration = new SessionConfiguration()

            {

                Browser = GetBrowserName(),

                AppHost = "https://specflow.org/", // whatever url you want

                Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2)

            };

            browser = new BrowserSession(sessionConfiguration);

            browser.MaximiseWindow();

            return browser;

        }

private Browser GetBrowserName()

        {

            var browserType = TestContext.Parameters["BROWSER"];

            switch (browserType)

            {

                case "CHROME":

                    browserName = Coypu.Drivers.Browser.Chrome;

                    break;

                case "INTERNETEXPLORER":

                    browserName = Coypu.Drivers.Browser.InternetExplorer;

                    break;

                case "FIREFOX":

                    browserName = Coypu.Drivers.Browser.Firefox;

                    break;

                default:

                    browserName = Coypu.Drivers.Browser.Chrome;

                    break;

            }

            return browserName;

        }

nunit3-console specflow-coypu\bin\Debug\specflow-coypu.dll --params:BROWSER=INTERNETEXPLORER --work=NUnitTestResult --out=NUnitTestResult.txt --result=NUnitTestResult.xml
