Add global property "BASE_LAUNCH_URL" to avoid each write the navigation base url in test case frequently

Hi @ansonliao can you please elaborate this feature. I really wanted to commit to this repo, as I liked this one very much and I need your help in understanding the requirement so that I can try to implement

[ansonliao]

Hi @saicharan2311 , will implement it soon.

[ansonliao]

Hi @saicharan2311 , actually, you can add this feature by adding your customise listener to implement in your testing project, for example:

1. Extends the default listener SeleniumParallelTestListener.java

public class Your_Test_Listener extends SeleniumParallelTestListener {
    @Override
    public void beforeInvocation(IInvokedMethod iInvokedMethod, ITestResult iTestResult) {
        String browserName = iInvokedMethod.getTestMethod().getXmlTest()
                .getParameter(getConfigInstance().testngXmlBrowserParamKey());

        Method method =
                iInvokedMethod.getTestMethod().getConstructorOrMethod().getMethod();
        DriverManager driverManager =
                DriverManagerFactory.getManager(browserName);
        driverManager.setHeadless(method.isAnnotationPresent(Headless.class));
        driverManager.setIncognito(method.isAnnotationPresent(Incognito.class));
        setDriver(driverManager.getDriver());

        List<String> groups = TestGroupUtils.getMethodTestGroups(method);
        if (getConfigInstance().addBrowserGroupToReport()) {
            groups.add(browserName);
        }

        ExtentTestManager.createTest(
                method, browserName, AuthorUtils.getMethodAuthors(method),
                groups, iTestResult.getParameters());
      
        // check the global property BASE_LAUNCH_URL whether existed or not, if existed, open it
        if (Strings.isNotNullOrNotEmpty(SEConfig.getInstance.getString("BASE_LAUNCH_URL"))) {
            getDriver(SEConfig.getInstance.getString("BASE_LAUNCH_URL"));
        }
    }
}

2. Then add your customise listener to the configuration file seleniumextensions.properties to let it effected. Add your customise listener to the property testngListeners, and replace the default listener com.github.ansonliao.selenium.parallel.SeleniumParallelTestListener with your customise listener The_Package_Your_Test_Listener, so the listeners properties of configuration file looks like:

testngListeners=YOUR_PACKAGE_YOUR_TEST_LISTENER, 
com.github.ansonliao.selenium.testng.TestResultListener
defaultTestNGListeners=com.github.ansonliao.selenium.testng.TestResultListener, 
com.github.ansonliao.selenium.parallel.SeleniumParallelTestListener

3. Added property BASE_LAUNCH_URL to the configuration seleniumextensions.properties, and then set the value to the property;
   Or even you don't need to add the property BASE_LAUNCH_URL to the configuration file, and passed the property BASE_LAUNCH_URL by the maven command line.

so far you added the global property BASE_LAUNCH_URL feature to your testing project.
