Selenium has the ability to temporarily store data items and then later retrieve them

  • 0

Selenium has the ability to temporarily store data items and then later retrieve them in subsequent tests, e.g.

storeText | @id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_FormView1' | someValue

This works well within a single test and also between tests in the same Test Suite when a value needs to be carried forward across test boundaries. Unfortunately it doesn’t work between Test Suites (which is a requirement for our application that includes a number of workflows referring to the same object). How can Selenium be used to store values across Test Suite boundaries?

    It’s possible to store values from a Selenium Test into the browser’s Local Storage using javascript, e.g. if previously a value had been stored to someValue:

    getEval | this.browserbot.getUserWindow().localStorage.setItem("someValue",storedVars['someValue'])
assertEval | this.browserbot.getUserWindow().localStorage.getItem("someValue") | ${someValue}
storeEval | this.browserbot.getUserWindow().localStorage.getItem("assetLabel") | someValue

    In this case, this.browserbot.getUserWindow() returns the window of the application. This will store someValue into Local Storage from where it can subsequently be retrieved back into the Selenium stored variables.
