I am creating a test suite written in python using selenium webdriver. However, when I run my test, I get the error that: 'PythonOrgSearch' object has no attribute 'driver'
I am pretty sure this is because the tests are not running in order, so the driver is closed before the tests are completed. I had previously also gotten the error: "Tried to run command without establishing a connection", which I thought also indicated that the tests were not running in order so the driver hadn't started? I am not sure this is accurate though, just my best guess. My code looks like:
import unittest
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import os
import time
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from urllib.request import urlopen
from html.parser import HTMLParser
gecko = os.path.normpath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'geckodriver'))
binary = FirefoxBinary('C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary, executable_path=gecko+'.exe')
class PythonOrgSearch(unittest.TestCase):
#sets up driver to run tests
def setUp(self):
self.driver = driver
self.driver.start()
def test_opens(self):
driver.get("url.com")
driver.find_element_by_id('username').send_keys('user')
driver.find_element_by_id('password').send_keys('pass')
driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("button[type='submit']")[0].click()
time.sleep(2);
self.assertIn("title", driver.title)
def ztearDown(self):
self.driver.close()
if __name__ == "__main__":
unittest.main()
EDIT: I added driver=self.driver at the start of each function
setUpbefore each test; no matter what order they run in, no test should be running when a driver is not started. With several tests running in parallel, open / close could interfere, because you likely only have one browser running.
