Question

I am using Selenium WebDriver with Java & TestNG framework. I want to use Firefox, IE, Chrome in one single code at a time for doing cross-browser testing. I can only initialize Firefox as

driver = new FirefoxDriver();

but cannot initialize other browsers in the same way. For example:

driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

gives the error InternetExplorerDriver cannot be resolved.

driver = new ChromeDriver();

gives the error ChromeDriver cannot be resolved.

How can I initialize IE and Chrome and execute my tests in all the desired browser ?

Answer 1

For C#

Add

using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using OpenQA.Selenium.IE;

Create a config file which will contain browser name.
Implement a method for interaction with the config file

And you can use below code for initialize browsers:

string browser = GetConfigProperty("browser"); //Get browser name from the config
        switch (browser)
        {
            case "chrome":
                driver = new ChromeDriver();
                break;
            case "firefox":
                driver = new FirefoxDriver();
                break;
            case "InternetExplorer":
                driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
                break;
        }

good luck!
