Using Eclipse to run Cucumber tests with Maven is causing multiple Chrome windows to open, and won't close

hopefully someone can help.
I've got tests written out, but for some reason Chrome launches a blank browser page, then a second. The second chrome window follows all of the steps, but ignores the After hook to close the browser/delete cookies etc. Basically, the test runs, but I'm left with a mess to clean up after.
How do I get Chrome to stop opening multiple windows and how do I get it to actually close the browser?
Here's the test case:
package CucumberFramework.stepsFiles;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import cucumber.api.java.Before;
import cucumber.api.java.en.Given;
import cucumber.api.java.en.Then;
public class Launchpad_Battery_Search{
WebDriver driver;
#Before
public void setup() {
this.driver = new ChromeDriver();
this.driver.manage().window().maximize();
this.driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
this.driver.manage().timeouts().setScriptTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
#AfterMethod
public void teardown() {
this.driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
this.driver.close();
this.driver = null;
}
#Given ("^user logs in$")
public void user_logs_in() throws Throwable{
driver.get("https://app.websitebeingtested.com");
Thread.sleep(4000);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"ObservableObject#20.email\"]")).sendKeys("definitelyabetatester#gmail.com");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"ObservableObject#20.password\"]")).sendKeys("BasicPass!23");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[text()='Sign In']")).click();
Thread.sleep(6000);
}
#Given ("^user clicks launchpad icon$")
public void user_clicks_launchpad_icon() throws Throwable {
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[#href='/agencyLaunchpad']")).click();
}
#Given ("^user searches launchpad for batteries$")
public void user_searches_launchpad_for_batteries() throws Throwable {
Thread.sleep(4000);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[3]/div/div[1]/div/input")).sendKeys("batteries");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[text()= 'Search']")).click();
Thread.sleep(6000);
}
#Then ("^search returns applicable results$")
public void search_returns_applicable_results() throws Throwable {
WebElement GetAQuote = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(), 'Get a Quote')]"));
AssertJUnit.assertEquals(true, GetAQuote.isDisplayed());
}
}

As you picked up earlier in the comments, you are most likely running this as a JUnit test rather than testng, which is why your framework is not recognizing the #AfterMethod tag. Since you are using cucumber, (and already using its #Before tag) the simplest way to solve this would be to use the cucumber #After tag instead.
import cucumber.api.java.After;
#After
your method here.
Additionally, for your particular situation you may be better served to use the driver.quit() method instead of close.

LeanFT & Selenium custom automation framework - no HTML report generated

I have been trying to make LeanFT html reports work with my Selenium/Junit framework, however so far without any joy.
I have searched the topic multiple times on different forums incl. HP official materials and tried all setup methods that I could find.
An XML runresults file is still generated when using a custom Selenium/LeanFT framework.
I create a LeanFT Testing Project project using JUnit as my framework and Selenium as SDK. I also add relevant Selenium jars.
LeanFT version is 14.0.2816.0.
I am conscious of this issue: https://community.softwaregrp.com/t5/UFT-Practitioners-Forum/HTML-report-not-generated-in-custom-framework-using-LeanFT/td-p/1614027 .
I would be grateful, if someone could explain where I am making a mistake here or if the software version is the problem here. Any help is very much appreciated.
The actual setup contains more abstractions, is generally more complex and runs as a jar file, but I have simplified the code for the purpose of this topic as the outcome of both setups is the same - a runresults.xml and no html:

TL;DR
The report is only generated in 14.00 by extending UnitTestBase. To have the report generated with a custom automation framework, you must upgrade to at least LeanFT 14.01 (latest one at the time of writting is 14.02 though).
Oh, and just for clarification: this issue has nothing to do with Selenium. You'd have the same behavior in C# LeanFT SDK using NUnit 3, for example.
Details
What is a custom automation framework in this context?
When I say custom automation framework I mean any framework that does the SDK and Reporter initialization and cleanup itself.
LeanFT does all the magic through its engine. To tell a custom framework to connect to the engine, you need perform the following steps:
at the beginning of a test suite:
SDK.init();
Reporter.init(); // This is not for the engine, but for the HTML report generation
at the end of a test suite
Reporter.generateReport();
SDK.cleanup();
When you are using the builtin templates, you'll notice that a UnitTestClassBase class is automatically created, that extends from UnitTestBase and that your LeanFtTest class extends from this UnitTestClassBase.
By doing so you are initializing the SDK and the Reporter in a very specific way, which is the reason why with this initialization the HTML report is generated. If you were to reproduce this specific way in your custom framework, you'll also have the HTML report generated. If you are curious, you can check the contents of the UnitTestBase.class file to see what it does.
You are extending from UnitTestBase. Why is it not working?
As mentioned in my comments, you are actually doing the SDK and Reporter initialization twice, once by extending the UnitTestBase (which, as I described above, does that initialization already) and the second time in your setUp method.
Since you are using LeanFT 14.00, you should let the UnitTestBase do the initialization, cleanup and report generation. This means that your Test Class file should be changed to no longer include the init of the SDK and Reporter, as follows:
import com.hp.lft.report.CaptureLevel;
import com.hp.lft.report.ModifiableReportConfiguration;
import com.hp.lft.report.Reporter;
import com.hp.lft.sdk.ModifiableSDKConfiguration;
import com.hp.lft.sdk.SDK;
import com.hp.lft.sdk.web.Browser;
import com.hp.lft.sdk.web.BrowserDescription;

ModifiableReportConfiguration reportConfig = new ModifiableReportConfiguration();
reportConfig.setOverrideExisting(true);
reportConfig.setTargetDirectory("C:\\Users\\user\\IdeaProjects\\LeanFT_Selenium\\RunResults");
reportConfig.setReportFolder("LastRun");
reportConfig.setTitle("Summary");
reportConfig.setDescription("Description");
reportConfig.setSnapshotsLevel(CaptureLevel.All);
Reporter.init(reportConfig);
*/
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addExtensions(new File
("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\HP\\Unified Functional Testing\\Installations\\Chrome\\Agent.crx"));
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
"C:\\HP_Reporting\\Webdriver\\chromedriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
browser = BrowserFactory.attach(new BrowserDescription.Builder()
.type(BrowserType.CHROME).build());
}
#After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
driver.quit();
browser = null;
//Reporter.generateReport();
//SDK.cleanup();
}
#Test
public void test() throws Exception {
driver.get("https://www.google.co.uk/");
}
}
But I need to configure the SDK and the Report. How can I achieve that in LeanFT 14.00?
The SDK and the Reporter can be configured in two ways:
At initialization, as you attempted to do through the ModifiableSDKConfiguration and ModifiableReportConfiguration
or
In the test settings file (resources/leanft.properties). You can see plenty details in the official help.
You can manipulate some report settings at runtime as well, through the Reporter API:
Set the report level: Reporter.setReportLevel(ReportLevel.All);
Set the snapshot capture level Reporter.setSnapshotCaptureLevel(CaptureLevel.All);
Even if you initialized the SDK and the Reporter through the base class, you can still add custom report events in the report (these work: Reporter.reportEvent();, Reporter.startReportingContext();, Reporter.startTest();, etc.)

Not download/init browser driver when used webdrivermanager-x.x.x.jar (without Maven)

For my Selenium/Java project [without Maven], using webdrivermanager-1.7.2.jar in to automate binary downloads for chromedriver but I'm getting "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/LoggerFactory" message.
My code:
package selenium_webdriver_api;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.ChromeDriverManager;
public class Topic_29_ManageBrowserVersion {
private WebDriver driver;
#BeforeClass
public static void setupClass() {
ChromeDriverManager.getInstance().version("2.33").setup();
// Or: ChromeDriverManager.getInstance().setup();
}
#Before
public void setupTest() {
driver = new ChromeDriver();
}
#After
public void teardown() {
if (driver != null) {
driver.quit();
}
}
#Test
public void test() {
driver.get("https://github.com/bonigarcia/webdrivermanager");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
}

WebDriverManager depends on several libraries such as slf4j-api, commons-io, gson, among others (see its pom.xml for the complete list). If you are using WebDriverManager without the help of a build tool (e.g. Maven, Gradle) you need to resolve these dependencies manually. The other option is to generate a fat jar from the source, for example using the maven-assembly-plugin (info here) or maven-shade-plugin (info here).

Jira Test Automation Using Selenium WebAPI

We recorded a test case to log into jira using Selenium IDE. And it was running correctly.BUT when it exported to java web driver(jUnit4), it did not worked and gave element not found error.
The code is :
package newjiralogin;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.junit.*;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class NewJiraLogin {
private WebDriver driver;
private String baseUrl;
private final StringBuffer verificationErrors = new StringBuffer();
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
baseUrl = "http://jiratest/";
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
#Test
public void testUntitled2() throws Exception {
driver.get("http://jiratest");
driver.findElement(By.id("login-form-username")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id("login-form-username")).sendKeys("saumlk");
driver.findElement(By.id("login-form-password")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id("login-form-password")).sendKeys("saumlk");
driver.findElement(By.id("login")).click();
}
#After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
driver.quit();
String verificationErrorString = verificationErrors.toString();
if (!"".equals(verificationErrorString)) {
fail(verificationErrorString);
}
}
The main Method class :
package newjiralogin;
import org.junit.runner.JUnitCore;
public class NewJiralogintest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
JUnitCore.main("newjiralogin.NewJiraLogin");
}
}

The login form resides inside an iframe, i.e. before accessing the elements you have to switch the context of the driver, .e.g.
driver.switchTo().frame("gadget-0");
(assuming "gadget-0" is the id of the frame which contains the login box).
I'm not an expert for the IDE->WebDriver conversion, but it seems that the context switch got lost. If you want to implement UI automation for JIRA, have a look at the JIRA PageObjects which really ease many of the common tasks. A sample how they can be employed is available at the Atlassian documentation pages or here: https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2014/07/part-3-agile-testing-jira-plugins-system-tests/. This blog entry is part of a short series we wrote b/c we had similar issues and wanted to share what we learned.

ClassNameFilter and BeforeClass

I have dozens of Selenium Webdriver tests. I want to run them all at once. How do I run the test so that each test does not open a new Webdriver browser window?
Is a solution something like this possible? This causes nullPointError from driver.
#ClassnameFilters({"com.company.package*", ".*Test"})
public class TestSuite {
public static WebDriver driver;
#BeforeClass
public static void setUpClass() {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}
#AfterClass
public static void setDownClass() {
driver.quit();
}
}
public class Test {
private WebDriver driver = TestSuite.driver;
#Test.... {
}
Putting the new object initialization attribute gets the first test running, but then the others cause unreachable browser error. Please help!

hah, sorry for my inattentiveness.
This causes nullPointError from driver that can be caused only by improper web driver initialization.
As you declare public static WebDriver driver; in public class TestSuite and create instance in
#BeforeClass
public static void setUpClass() {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}
you don't need in
public class Test
initialize
private WebDriver driver = TestSuite.driver; once again.
Instead of it I would use inheritance public class Test from public class TestSuite in the following way and in my tests annotated by #Test simply called my driver as it is initialized as static. Code be like:
public class Test extends TestSuite {
#Test
public void findButtonAndClickOnIt(){
String buttonCssSelector ="...blablabla...";
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(buttonCssSelector)).click();
}
}
hope now it works for you.

to handle this issue try using #BeforeClass, #AfterClass annotation:
import com.google.common.base.Function;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestBase;
import junit.framework.Assert;
import org.junit.AfterClass;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.FluentWait;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Wait;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer;
import org.springframework.core.io.support.PropertiesLoaderUtils;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.NoSuchElementException;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
public class BaseSeleniumTest extends SeleneseTestBase {
static WebDriver driver;
#Value("login.base.url")
private String loginBaseUrl;
#BeforeClass
public static void firefoxSetUp() throws MalformedURLException {
DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://192.168.4.52:4444/wd/hub"), capability);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(); //for local check
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1920, 1080));
}
#Before
public void openFiretox() throws IOException {
driver.get(propertyKeysLoader("login.base.url"));
}
#AfterClass
public static void closeFirefox(){
driver.quit();
}
....
#BeforeClass means that you initialize something and all the following selenium tests annotated by #Test be run in a single browser window open.
Hope this helps you.
