Project description
TestProject SDK For Python
TestProject is a Free Test Automation platform for Web, Mobile is coming soon.
To get familiar with the TestProject, visit our main documentation website.
TestProject SDK is a single, integrated interface to scripting with the most popular open source test automation frameworks.
From now on, you can effortlessly execute Selenium and Appium (coming soon) native tests using a single automation platform that already takes care of all the complex setup, maintenance and configs.
With one unified SDK available across multiple languages, developers and testers receive a go-to toolset, solving some of the greatest challenges in open source test automation.
With TestProject SDK, users save a bunch of time and enjoy the following benefits out of the box:
100% open source and available as a PyPI project.
5-mins simple Selenium and Appium (coming soon) setup with a single Agent deployment.
Automatic test reports in HTML/PDF format (including screenshots).
Collaborative reporting dashboards with execution history and RESTful API support.
Always up-to-date with the latest and stable Selenium driver version.
A simplified, familiar syntax for both web and mobile applications.
Complete test runner capabilities for both local and remote executions, anywhere.
Cross platform support for Mac, Windows, Linux and Docker.
Ability to store and execute tests locally on any source control tool, such as Git.
Getting started
To get started, you need to complete the following prerequisites checklist:
Login to your account at https://app.testproject.io/ or register a new one.
Download and install an Agent for your operating system or pull a container from Docker Hub.
Run the Agent and register it with your Account.
Get a development token from the Integrations / SDK page.
Installation
The TestProject Python SDK is available on PyPI. All you need to do is add it as a Python module using:
pip install testproject-python-sdk
and you’re good to go.
Drivers
The TestProject SDK overrides standard Selenium/Appium drivers with extended functionality.
The examples shown in this document are based on Chrome. The SDK works in the same way for all other supported browsers:
Firefox
Safari
Edge
Internet Explorer
Android apps (using Appium) (coming soon)
iOS apps (using Appium) (coming soon)
Using a TestProject driver is identical to using a Selenium driver. Once you have added the SDK as a dependency to your project, changing the import statement is enough in most cases.
You can create a TestProject-powered version of a test using Chrome by using the TestProject Chrome driver:
# from selenium import webdriver <-- replace this import
from src.testproject.sdk.drivers import webdriver
def test_create_a_chrome_driver_instance():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
# Your test code goes here
driver.quit()
Here’s an example of a complete test that is using the Chrome driver from the TestProject SDK:
from src.testproject.sdk.drivers import webdriver
def simple_test():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://example.testproject.io/web/")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#name").send_keys("John Smith")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#password").send_keys("12345")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#login").click()
passed = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#logout").is_displayed()
print("Test passed") if passed else print("Test failed")
driver.quit()
if __name__ == "__main__":
simple_test()
Development token
The SDK uses a development token for communication with the Agent and the TestProject platform. To configure your development token for use with the SDK, you have to specify it in an environment variable TP_DEV_TOKEN.
Alternatively, you can pass in your developer token as an argument to the driver constructor:
def test_create_a_chrome_driver_instance():
driver = webdriver.Chrome(token='YOUR_TOKEN_GOES_HERE')
# Your test code goes here
driver.quit()
TestProject Agent
By default, drivers communicate with the local Agent listening on http://localhost:8585. This value can be overridden by setting the TP_AGENT_URL environment variable to the correct Agent address.
Driver command reporting
By default, the TestProject SDK reports all executed driver commands and their results to the TestProject Cloud. This allows us to create and display detailed HTML reports and statistics in your project dashboards.
This functionality can be disabled if desired:
def test_disable_automatic_reporting():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.report().disable_command_reports(True)
# From here on, driver commands will not be reported automatically
driver.quit()
Driver command report redaction
When driver command are being reported, the SDK will, by default, replaces the values typed into sensitive elements by replacing the actual text with three asterisks (***) in the report. Elements are considered sensitive if they:
have an attribute type with value password (all browsers and platforms)
are of type XCUIElementTypeSecureTextField (iOS / XCUITest only)
This redaction of sensitive commands can be disabled, if desired:
def test_disable_driver_command_report_redaction():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.report().disable_redaction(True)
# From here on, driver commands will not be redacted
driver.quit()
Test reports
Tests are reported automatically when the driver quits. You can specify a custom name for your test using the @report decorator:
from src.testproject.decorator import report
@report(test='Your custom test name here')
def test_specify_test_name_in_decorator():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
# Your test code goes here
driver.quit()
If no test name is specified using the decorator, the test method name will be used as the test name in the report.
You can disable the automatic reporting of tests as well:
def test_disable_automatic_test_reporting():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.report().disable_auto_test_reports(True)
# Tests will not be reported automatically from here on
driver.quit()
In addition to this, you can also manually report a test:
def test_report_a_custom_test():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.report().test(name='My custom test name', passed=True, message='A custom message')
driver.quit()
Switching reporting on or off
If you want to temporarily disable and later reenable all reporting for a section of a test, you can do that, too:
def test_temporarily_disable_all_reporting_then_reenable_it_later():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.report().disable_reports(True)
driver.find_element_by_id('your_element_id').click() # This statement will not be reported
driver.report().disable_reports(False)
driver.quit()
Disable all reporting for a test
Finally, you can also prevent the Agent from creating a test report on TestProject at by setting the disable_reports flag in the driver constructor:
def test_do_not_create_a_report_at_all():
driver = webdriver.Chrome(disable_reports=True)
# No reporting will be done at all for this test
driver.quit()
Please note that reporting can not be reenabled at a later point for this specific driver instance.
Specifying project and job names
There are different ways to specify custom project and job names for use in your reports. In order of precedence, these are:
Similar to the test name, you can also use the @report decorator to specify a custom project and job name:
from src.testproject.decorator import report
@report(project='My project', job='My job')
def test_specify_project_and_job_name_in_decorator():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
# Your test code goes here
driver.quit()
You can also specify custom project and job names by passing them as arguments to your driver constructor:
def test_specify_project_and_job_names_in_driver_constructor():
driver = webdriver.Chrome(projectname='My custom project', jobname='My custom job')
# Your test code goes here
driver.quit()
If neither of the above options is used, the SDK will attempt to automatically infer project and job names from your package and test module names. This is only supported for pytest and unittest.
For pytest, tests in the my_tests.py module in the e2e_tests/chrome package will be reported with a project name e2e_tests.chrome and job name my_tests.
For unittest, tests in the my_tests.py module in the e2e_tests/chrome package will be reported with a project name chrome and job name my_tests.
Step reports
As mentioned earlier, by default, all driver commands that are executed will be reported to TestProject Cloud. In addition to this, you can also report custom steps, whether they should be marked as passed or failed, and include a screenshot of the current browser state:
def test_report_a_custom_step():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.report().step(description='My step decription', message='A custom message', passed=True, screenshot=True)
driver.quit()
The importance of using quit()
Even more so than with regular Selenium- or Appium-based tests, it is important to make sure that you call the quit() method of your TestProject driver object at the end of every test that uses the TestProject SDK.
Upon calling quit(), the SDK will send all remaining report items to the Agent, ensuring that your report on the TestProject platform is complete.
Tip for pytest users: use a pytest fixture to ensure that quit() is called at the end of the test, even when an error occurred during test execution:
import pytest
@pytest.fixture
def driver():
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
yield driver
driver.quit()
def test_using_pytest_fixture(driver):
driver.get("https://example.testproject.io/web")
Tip for unittest users: use the setUp() and tearDown() methods for driver creation and destroying:
import unittest
class ChromeTest(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome()
def test_using_unittest_setup_and_teardown(self):
driver.get("https://example.testproject.io/web")
def tearDown(self):
self.driver.quit()
Logging
The TestProject Python SDK uses the logging framework built into Python. The default logging level is INFO and the default logging format is %(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s, which results in log entries formatted like this:
13:37:45 INFO Using http://localhost:8585 as the Agent URL
If you wish, you can override the default log configuration:
For pytest users, it is recommended to provide alternative values in your pytest.ini
Users of unittest can override the configuration by setting the TP_LOG_LEVEL and / or TP_LOG_FORMAT environment variables, respectively, to the desired values
See this page for a list of accepted logging levels and look here for more information on how to define a custom logging format.
