Selenium generic autoconfiguration

[cdalexndr]

Currently, only HtmlUnit driver is supported, and the following utility classes are not public so they cannot be used/extended by user with other drivers: WebDriverScope, WebDriverContextCustomizerFactory, WebDriverTestExecutionListener

The rhino engine used by HtmlUnit has limitations (HtmlUnit/htmlunit#232 : mozilla/rhino#652, mozilla/rhino#678 ), and with the headless option already implemented by browsers, using other drivers is a good alternative.

Autoconfigurations should be made for other drivers, maybe with the help of WebDriveManager.

It looks like we currently apply the WebDriverScope to all org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver beans and to the MockMvcHtmlUnitDriverBuilder (see this static final). We also have MockMvcWebDriverAutoConfiguration which creates a MockMvcHtmlUnitDriverBuilder with a WebConnectionHtmlUnitDriver.

Looking at MockMvcHtmlUnitDriverBuilder.withDelegate it appears that we can't configure anything other than an HtmlUnit driver.

@cdalexndr an you provide some more details about the kinds of drivers you want to be auto-configured and how they'll be used? Perhaps we need a Spring Framework issue to update MockMvc?

Due to htmlunit rhino engine limitation, I use Firefox with gecko driver, plus WebDriverManager for easy setup:

@Bean
//WARNING: name must be same as WebDriverScope.NAME <-- cannot access WebDriverScope.NAME to reference it
public WebDriver webDriver() {
    WebDriverManager.firefoxdriver().setup();
    return new FirefoxDriver(
            new FirefoxOptions().setHeadless( true ) );
}

I also use mockito SpyBean/MockBean in my test, so I have to register spring's mockito test execution listeners:
@TestExecutionListeners({MockitoTestExecutionListener.class, ResetMocksTestExecutionListener.class})

This will cause the default test execution listeners to not be registered, among them, the required WebDriverTestExecutionListener.
Because WebDriverTestExecutionListener class is not public, I cannot add it to the above @TestExecutionListeners for my test class (without dirty hack).

Hmm, that's interesting. The MockitoTestExecutionListener, ResetMocksTestExecutionListener and WebDriverTestExecutionListener classes should be loaded automatically via spring.factories. You shouldn't need to declare them with the @TestExecutionListeners annotation.

Do you have a small sample that you can share that shows things not working as expected?

[cdalexndr]

I'm using TestNg so I extend AbstractTransactionalTestNGSpringContextTests, that uses @TestExecutionListeners without MergeMode.MERGE_WITH_DEFAULTS.

Even if I use @TestExecutionListeners(mergeMode=MergeMode.MERGE_WITH_DEFAULTS) it will be overwritten by the above base class, and it will not merge with defaults: see code. If I don't use any @TestExecutionListeners on my class, still the defaults are not loaded due to same issue.

A possible workaround would be to use @TestExecutionListeners(inheritListeners=false,mergeMode=MergeMode.MERGE_WITH_DEFAULTS) in my class, but this way I loose all AbstractTransactionalTestNGSpringContextTests's configured TestExecutionListeners, and I don't want to copy-paste them from the library.

Note, same issue with AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests.

I’m not that familiar with the TestNg integration, perhaps @sbrannen knows more.

@cdalexndr could we still have a sample application that shows the problem? I think it would really help us.
