[Cucumber:3083] cuke4nuke with Selenium

[Natarajan Balashanmugam]

Hello,

Is it possible to run the cuke4nuke with Selenium instead of WatiN?
Did anyone used before, if so can you provide me some sample code?
We have serveral automated test created using Selenium, I like to reuse
them without rewrite the tests in WatiN.

Thanks,

-Nat.

Hi Nat,

It shouldn't cause any problems, you should just be able to use
Selenium + Cuke4Nuke in the same way you would with say NUnit.

I haven't got Selenium setup at the moment, but if you encounter
issues then I will be more than happy to set it up locally and help
you.

Thanks

Ben

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your feedback. I just removed my WatiN reference in my
class file and included the selenium references. I am getting the
time out error when I try to run the ckue4nuke.
Before executing this command I manually start the Selenium-RC
server, I see the Selenium-RC window getting launched and the browser
trying to connect to the google.com website
and then, I am getting this error and it stops. I really
appreciate all your help on this...!

If you do anything relatively slow in a Before hook, like starting up
a browser, for example, the default timeout won't be adequate. You can
increase it by adding a line to your cucumber.wire file to set the
before_scenario message timeout. The following seems to work well for
me:

host: localhost
port: 3901
timeout:
invoke: 35
before_scenario: 10

[Richard Lawrence]

It's possible 10 seconds isn't enough to start the browser and get a
result back to cucumber. Set the timeout much higher, kick off a
scenario, and go get a cup of coffee. When you come back, you'll have
a better idea of what the timeout needs to be in your environment.

Hi Richard,

I tried with much higher timeout, still I could not get this to
work on my end. Is it possible to share your sample code (cuke4nuke
with Selenium)? I am thinking, I may not structure the
code in proper way.

Thanks,

-Nat.

[Richard Lawrence]

Sorry, I've never used Selenium with Cuke4Nuke—WatiN meets my needs—so
I don't have a sample around this. If you can share your code (maybe
at gist.github.com if it's just one step def class), I'd be willing to
have a look at it, though.

Nat - please reply inline so others can pick up the thread of the

Richard - presumably if SetupTest() were to raise an exception within
the 300 seconds, that would (should) bubble up to Cucumber, right? So
Nat's code must be hanging somewhere in that method, right?

Nat - can you add come logging to try to find out where your code
might be getting stuck?

Hi Richard,
Thank you so much for your help on this. I shared my code on
gist.github.com Here is the url
URL: git://gist.github.com/274369.git

Nat - please reply inline so others can pick up the thread of the
discussion from the newer messages.
Richard - presumably if SetupTest() were to raise an exception within
the 300 seconds, that would (should) bubble up to Cucumber, right? So
Nat's code must be hanging somewhere in that method, right?
Nat - can you add come logging to try to find out where your code
might be getting stuck?

Matt - I added few Debug.Print statements in the SetupTest()
[Before] method. Nothing got printed on the Visual Studio Output
window.

Why would you expect it to? Did you attach your debugger to the
Cuke3Nuke Server process?

I am executing the cuku4nuke from command line as the example showed
in Richard's WatiN example. Because of that I could not attach to the
cuke4nuke from Visual Studio.
What I am thinking is create a another window application project and
create instance of the SerachSteps.cs and access the Setup() method
that way, is there any other better way
to do this?

Thanks,

-Nat.

[Richard Lawrence]

Rather than trying to attach to Cuke4Nuke, maybe you could debug your
step definitions with NUnit like I blogged about yesterday her:
http://www.richardlawrence.info/2010/01/12/debugging-cuke4nuke-step-definitions/.

I've only ever used Selenium with Cucumber on Java (driving Firefox),
but my Before code looked very similar to what you have. I don't see
any obvious reason why your Before hook wouldn't return reasonably
quickly, except maybe if the Selenium server isn't running.

I have it working on my system. I couldn't get the timeout values in
the wire file to work, but I edited the configuration.rb file (in C:
\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\cucumber-0.6.1\lib\cucumber\wire_support
on my system) so that the timeout was 300 and then it worked fine. At
some point I'll look into the wire file timeout specs and figure out
what is going on but in the meantime, that might get you up and
running.

Hi Nat,
It shouldn't cause any problems, you should just be able to use
Selenium +Cuke4Nukein the same way you would with say NUnit.
I haven't got Selenium setup at the moment, but if you encounter

It looks to me reading the number correctly from the wire file.
Should this setting on wire file overwrites the configuration.rb

So there's your mistake Nat: the .wire file has a timeout value for
the non-existent 'before_scenario' message, and as the error message
shows, the message is actually 'begin_scenario'. If you edit your wire
file to look like this, it should work:

host: localhost
port: 3901
timeout:
invoke: 35
begin_scenario: 300

I think I'll change the error message in Cucumber to give a better
explanation of how to edit the .wire file. Would that have helped?

Matt,

If you have a chance, can you add something to the Cuke4Nuke wiki
about the timeouts in the wire file? Also, because most Cuke4Nuke
users probably will use it with WatiN or Selenium, the default
begin_scenario and end_scenario timeouts ought to be long like the
invoke timeout.

Thanks,

Richard

your .wire file (maybe as a gist.github.com) so we can have a look at
it?
[1]http://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/blob/master/features/wire_pr
...

Here is the copy of my cucumber.wire file content
host: localhost
port: 3901
 invoke: 35
 before_scenario: 300
Configuration.rb file original install contains this value
     def timeout(message = nil)
I changed that 3 to 300 and started to work.  Here is the version #
cucumber (0.5.3)
cuke4nuke (0.3.0)

Thanks Nat. Would you mind doing me a favour and hacking your
def timeout(message = nil)
   p message
end
That should print-out what's been read from the wire file. Can you
then share the (relevant bits) of the output with us?

  Matt, here is the output from the command window
  ∩╗┐Feature: Google search
   In order find things on the internet
   As a user
   I want to search for web pages with particular text in them
 Scenario: Load search page            # features/search.feature:6
{"before_scenario"=>300, "invoke"=>35}
nil
{"before_scenario"=>300, "invoke"=>35}
"begin_scenario"
Timed out calling wire server with message
'begin_scenario' (Timeout::Error)

So there's your mistake Nat: the .wire file has a timeout value for
the non-existent 'before_scenario' message, and as the error message
shows, the message is actually 'begin_scenario'. If you edit your wire
     host: localhost
     port: 3901
       invoke: 35
       begin_scenario: 300
I think I'll change the error message in Cucumber to give a better
explanation of how to edit the .wire file. Would that have helped?

 Thanks Matt, I restored my configuration.rb file back to original
value and added begin_scenario: 300.  It's working fine for me.  Yes,
please share the
 list of configuration settings or how to edit provide .wire file
will be really helpful.
  Thanks,
   -Nat.

   It looks to me reading the number correctly from the wire file.
Should this setting on wire file overwrites the configuration.rb

Hi Nat,
It shouldn't cause any problems, you should just be able to use
Selenium +Cuke4Nukein the same way you would with say NUnit.
I haven't got Selenium setup at the moment, but if you encounter
issues then I will be more than happy to set it up locally and help
you.
Thanks
Ben

Hello,
     Is it possible to run thecuke4nukewith Selenium instead of
WatiN?
Did anyone used before, if so can you provide me some sample code?
     We have serveral automated test created using Selenium, I
like to reuse
them without rewrite the tests in WatiN.
     Thanks,
     -Nat.

Matt,
If you have a chance, can you add something to the Cuke4Nuke wiki
about the timeouts in the wire file? Also, because most Cuke4Nuke
users probably will use it with WatiN or Selenium, the default
begin_scenario and end_scenario timeouts ought to be long like the
invoke timeout.

done:

I have it working on my system. I couldn't get the timeout values in
the wire file to work, but I edited the configuration.rb
file (in
\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\cucumber-0.6.1\lib\cucumber
\wire_support
on my system) so that the timeout was 300 and then it worked fine.
At
some point I'll look into the wire file timeout specs and
figure
out
what is going on but in the meantime, that might get you up and
running.

Thank you so much everyone. I got cuke4nuke working with Selenium. I
fixed the ruby file (configuration.rb) and on top of that
there was the permission issue caused the script not to run on the
Vista OS. Once I start all the services as administrator, everything
started to work together.

I would very much like to understand why you had to hack the source
code (configuration.rb) instead of configuring your timeouts in
the .wire file. Did you see the example in [1]? Could you post
your .wire file (maybe as a gist.github.com) so we can have a look at
it?

Yes, I am using Selenium-RC with C# client drivers, some of our
original test automation was built of Selenium, going forward, and we
want to use the Cucumber (GWT) to define the acceptance test.

Thanks,
