Question

I have to test few sites which sales the same things, but they have an another template.

So I want to run each MainTestClass with giving some input parameter, let’s say :

java -jar SeleniumServerStandalone-2.0b2.jar -port 5555 (template_id=5)

Is it possible?

class MainTestCases(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):

        #self.template_id=template_id I want something like that
        self.verificationErrors = []

        self.selenium = selenium("localhost", 5555, "*chrome", "http://www.google.com/")
        time.sleep(5)
        self.selenium.start()


    def test_test1(self):
        if self.template_id==1:
        ...
        elif self.template_id==2:
        ...
    def test_test2(self):
        if self.template_id==1:
        ...
        elif self.template_id==2:
        ...
    def tearDown(self):
        self.selenium.stop()
        self.assertEqual([], self.verificationErrors)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    unittest.main()

Now, I use this solution:

1. Create suite test which runs testcases:

import unittest
from Flights.FlightsTestCases import FlightsTestCases
import sys
from Flights.FlightTemplate import FlightTemplate

def suite():

    testSuite= unittest.TestSuite()
    testSuite.addTest(FlightsTestCases('test_test1'))


    FlightsTestCases.www_address='http://testpage.pl/'
    FlightsTestCases.flight_template=FlightTemplate.Test

    #FlightsTestCases.www_address='http://productionpage.pl/'
    #FlightsTestCases.flight_template=FlightTemplate.Production

    return testSuite


if __name__ == "__main__":
    result = unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite())
    sys.exit(not result.wasSuccessful())

change set_up to something like:

class FlightsTestCases(unittest.TestCase):
www_address = None
flight_template = None
xml_report_generator = None

def setUp(self):
    self.verificationErrors = []
    if self.www_address == None:
        self.selenium = selenium("localhost", 5555, "*chrome", "http://testpage.pl/")
    else:
        self.selenium = selenium("localhost", 5555, "*chrome", self.www_address)
