This repo accompanies this blog post and is an example maven project demonstrating how to use Spring's dependency injection with Cucumber-JVM in a test automation framework.
The purpose of this repo is to demonstrate how a cucumber scenario can be written in such a way as to be implementation agnostic, achieving this using dependency injection. Depending on one system property the tests will either run the mobile implementation of the application under test, or the desktop implementation.
It's pretty simple: webdriver loads Bing, searches for "cucumber", and verifies that the first hit in the search results contains the word "Cucumber".
The project is set up such that Page Objects are implementation specific, i.e. there's a MobileBingHomePage and a
DesktopBingHomePage, but both implement a single BingHomePage interface. The decision between which implementation
is used is determined at runtime through the use of spring Profiles.
If the -Dspring.profiles.active command line argument is set to desktop then the step definition class will be injected
with DesktopBingHomePage, or, if it's set to mobile then MobileBingHomePage will be injected.
The same happens with the Page Objects themselves. They all need a WebDriver instance so one is injected in. Depending, again, on which spring profile is set, the Page Object will be injected with a WebDriver instance that is either set up with "desktop" dimensions, or with "mobile" dimensions and appropriate user-agent.
That's about the sum of it.
Note, this is just one way to arrange things. This repo is to demonstrate how all the pieces work together, not their optimal arrangement - that'll be determined by your own unique requirements.
To run the feature with a "desktop browser":
mvn clean verify -Dspring.profiles.active=desktopTo run the feature with a "mobile browser":
mvn clean verify -Dspring.profiles.active=mobileOn 14th Jan 2019, with the following setup, It Worked On My Machine:
