Selenium-IDE template for TestNG

As mentioned in the previous post we can get a customized test class template for Selenium-IDE using existing templates. As we use TestNG for our testing we faced an issue when generating UI tests through Selenium-IDE. Selenium-IDE currently has support for JUnit but not for TestNG. As a solution we customized the JUnit 4 template for TestNG.

We use the  'Java / JUnit 4 / WebDriver' as the base template in this post as well.
The changes needed to be done

• Change the imports to TestNG
• Modify assertion methods according to TestNG specification
• TestNG and JUnit has different order of parameters in 'assertEquals' method [1] [2]

JUNIT  ---> assertEquals(expected, actual);

TESTNG ---> assertEquals(actual, expected);

Create a new template as described in the previous post using Java / JUnit 4 / WebDriver' template and  give a new name. Then do the following changes to the source file in a text editor.

Replace following imports with the imports given next.

import org.junit.*;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;

New Imports

import org.testng.annotations.*;
import static org.testng.Assert.*;

Next we need to change the order of the arguments. Replace the Equals.prototype.assert section with the following.

Equals.prototype.assert = function() {
  return "assertEquals(" + this.e2.toString() + ", " + this.e1.toString() + ");";
};

• Click Add button in the formats section mentioned in previous post. 
• Copy and paste the customized source on it. 
• Save and Close.
• Restart the Selenium-IDE.

Now you are ready to generate UI tests on TestNG!!!
