Installation:

Install LCTP using the following command: pip install LCTP

Usage:


{ 
"setup":{
"driver_path" : "../../../path",
"auto_install":"true",
"browser":"Opera",
"get":"https://www.saucedemo.com/",
"window" : "maximize"
"screen_recorder":"true", "run_amd_wait":"true" }
}

The `setup` keyword is mandatory when using LCTP.
  1. driver_path: Provide the path to the Selenium Chrome driver executable.
  2. auto_install: Automatically download and install the Chrome driver if not found.
  3. browser: Specify the browser to be used (e.g., Chrome, Firefox).
  4. get: Define the URL of the landing page.
  5. window: It's recommended to use "maximize" to maximize the browser window. You can also use "minimize" if needed.
  6. screen_recorder: Enable screen recording of the testing session.
  7. run_and_wait: Wait for the browser window to run the program.

Auto_install can handle the following browsers:

        1. Chrome

  • browser (str): Specify the browser to use.
  • get (str): The URL of the website to test.
  • window (str): Maximize the browser window after opening.

Login Testing Section

The login_testing section defines actions for logging into a website.

  • Each action should be a JSON object with a unique name.
  • Specify the target element using its attributes (e.g., id, xpath).
  • Use the data field to provide input data (e.g., username and password).
  • Use take to take a screenshot after the action (optional).
  • Use click to perform a click action (optional).

Home Page Section

The home_page section defines actions for interacting with elements on the home page of the website.

  • set_window_position (optional): Set the position of the browser window.
  • ls_id_clk (list of str): Click elements by their IDs.
  • ls_name_clk (list of str): Click elements by their names.

View Cart Section

The view_cart section defines actions for viewing the shopping cart.

  • select_select_box (optional): Select an option from a dropdown menu by index.
  • nav_to_view_cart (optional): Navigate to the shopping cart and maximize the window.

Advanced Features

Screen Recording

Enable screen recording during testing by setting "screen_recorder" to "true" in the setup section.

Running and Waiting

Set "run_and_wait" to "true" in the setup section to make the script wait for elements to become visible or clickable before performing actions.

Taking Screenshots

Take screenshots after specific actions by adding "take": "screenshot" to those actions in the login_testing section.

Executing Python Code

Execute custom Python code during testing by setting "code" to "true" in a login action. Specify your Python code in the "python_code" field or provide a file path using "python_code_path".

Additional Example Configuration

Here's an additional example configuration demonstrating web driver location setup and login page testing actions. You can configure various element attributes for testing different web pages.
