Step by Step automation guide – Selenium using Ruby Mini-Test framework

Setup Automation using Selenium/Ruby Mini-Test in 10 minutes (step by step) The assumption is that you are using a MAC…. (sorry PC users)

1. 1. 1. Download a webdriver (in this case, I am getting a chrome driver: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads . Make sure you set the PATH which you where your webdriver was install to.
      2. get rvm (which is to set your ruby version, and get different gems (ruby libraries) https://rvm.io/rvm/install
      3. install the following gem libraries:
         1. gem install minitest (Mini Test framework for all the assert)
         2. gem install selenium-webdriver (this is pretty obvious)
      4. Now create a test_login_file.rb like the following code, then run: ruby test_login_file.rb

   require "minitest/autorun"
   require "selenium-webdriver"
   
   class TestLogin < Minitest::Test
    def setup
      @driver=Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome
      @driver.navigate.to "http://yoursite.com/login"      
    end
   
    def test_login_correct
          @driver.find_element(:id,"login").send_keys "username" 
          @driver.find_element(:id,"password").send_keys "password"
          @driver.find_element(:id,"submit").click
          sleep (1)
          if @driver.find_elements(:id,"logins").size <= 0 
   	   assert false, "Bad Login"
          else
          	   assert_match "success",ps, "Page Failed"
          end
    end
   end
   

   Now there you go with your first automation test! easy?
   Okay, I guess I still own you some explaination

   The setup function basically tells your program to start chrome browser and go to url “yourlogin.com”.  find_element is part of the function within the webdriver class, which do different thing within your browser window (you can find all the reference here: https://gist.github.com/huangzhichong/3284966)

Each Minitest class represents 1 test case.
