I'm having an issue with Specflow. For some reason, a new instance of chrome is started per step. can you help with this?
For follow test, 3 steps, 3 chrome instance are started.
Feature: Home
Background:
Given The QA Department site
Scenario: QA Department title
When QA site open
Then QA site tile must be "UI Testing Site"The first instance has the content i want but the other two, that i don´t know why are started, are empty.
namespace QAtests.SpecFlow_Steps.Home
{
using NUnit.Framework;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using TechTalk.SpecFlow;
[Binding]
class HomeTestSteps
{
private readonly MainPage mainPage = new MainPage();
private readonly PageHelper pageHelper = new PageHelper();
public HomeTestSteps()
{
}
[When(@"QA Department site open")]
public void GivenQADepartmentSiteOpen()
{
var url = this.mainPage.ValiteSiteAddress();
Assert.AreEqual(url, this.mainPage.siteURL);
}
[Then(@"QA Department site tile must be ""(.*)""")]
public void ThenQADepartmentSiteTileMustBe(string pageTile)
{
var title = this.pageHelper.GetElementTitle();
Assert.AreEqual(pageTile, title);
}
}
}
The main page class just sets the url and checks elements
namespace QAtests.Pages.Main
{
public class MainPage
{
private ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
private readonly string elementTitle = "//title";
public readonly string siteURL = "http://uitest.duodecadits.com/";
public MainPage()
{
}
public void StartSite()
{
try
{
this.driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(siteURL);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw new Exception("Can´t set address.", e);
}
}
public void Close()
{
this.driver.Close();
}
public string ValiteSiteAddress()
{
return this.driver.Url;
}
public IWebElement ElementTitleisVisible()
{
try
{
return this.driver.FindElement(By.XPath(elementTitle));
}
catch(Exception e){
throw new Exception("Element tile not found.", e);
}
}
}
}
I think that is related with the declaration of
private ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
