Why to use excel file
In Selenium we can get data from external files like excel and csv
MS Excel is most commonly used
Helps to make our scripts independent of data handling
Helps to add, update, manage data separately (outside the framework)
Helps to make our framework data driven
How to add excel libraries
Step 1
Add apache poi libraries
Download and add Jars
from : poi.apache.org/download.html
OR
Add maven dependency
From : mvnrepository.com/artifact/or...
Step 2
Check if the libraries are added in your project
Get Row Count
Step 1
Create excel file and add some data
Step 2
Create references for Workbook
for new excel format (xlsx)
XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(“excel file location”);
for old excel format (xls)
HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(“excel file location”);
Step 3
Create references for Worksheet
XSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(“sheet name”);
Step 4
Call row count function
sheet.getPhysicalNumberOfRows();
Get Cell Data
Step 1
Create references for Workbook
XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(“excel file location”);
Step 2
Create references for Worksheet
XSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(“sheet name”);
Step 3
Call function to get cell data
sheet.getRow(rownum).getCell(colnum).getStringCellValue();
sheet.getRow(rownum).getCell(colnum).getNumericCellValue();
How to call excel functions
Step 1
In all excel functions get rowNum, colNum as parameters
This is to avoid hard coding of values and get the values from calling function
Step 2
Create a constructor
A constructor is a special method without any return type and name same as the class name
Constructor is called every time a class object is created using the new() keyword
Step 3
Parametrize the constructor
To get excel path and sheet name
Step 4
Create a new class to call excel functions

    hello Raghav, thanks for making this so easy for us beginners. I hope you are reading ur comments still. I have one question if the Excel sheet has around 5 sets of usernames and passwords how does this work. how can I use them in cucumber log in

  • @RaghavPal

    @RaghavPal

    Жыл бұрын

    To use multiple sets of usernames and passwords for data-driven testing in Selenium with Java and Cucumber, you can follow the below steps: Store the username and password in a data file (such as a CSV, Excel, or JSON file) with each set of credentials in a separate row or object. Read the data file in your Java code using a library such as Apache POI or OpenCSV. Use a loop to iterate through the rows or objects in the data file, and for each iteration, retrieve the username and password values and pass them as parameters to your login step in Cucumber. In your Cucumber feature file, use placeholders for the username and password parameters, such as and . Use the Cucumber Scenario Outline syntax to define the login scenario with placeholders for the username and password, and provide the values for the placeholders in a table underneath the Scenario Outline. In the step definition, retrieve the username and password values from the placeholders using the Cucumber DataTable API. Here is an example of how the Cucumber feature file, step definition, and data file could look like: *Login.feature* Feature: User login Scenario Outline: Login with valid credentials Given I am on the login page When I enter "" and "" And I click the login button Then I should be logged in Examples: | username | password | | user1 | pass1 | | user2 | pass2 | | user3 | pass3 | *LoginSteps.java* @When("I enter {string} and {string}") public void i_enter_username_and_password(String username, String password) { LoginPage loginPage = new LoginPage(driver); loginPage.enterUsername(username); loginPage.enterPassword(password); } @Then("I should be logged in") public void i_should_be_logged_in() { // Assertions to verify login success } *data.csv* username,password user1,pass1 user2,pass2 user3,pass3 In this example, we are using a CSV file as the data source. We read the CSV file in the Java code using the OpenCSV library, iterate through the rows, and pass the username and password values to the Cucumber step definitions. In the Cucumber feature file, we use the Scenario Outline syntax to define the login scenario with placeholders for the username and password, and provide the values for the placeholders in a table underneath the Examples keyword.

  • @RaghavPal

    @RaghavPal

    Жыл бұрын

    Hi Ajay Sure, you can pass Excel data for some login credentials in Chrome using Selenium Java. Here are the steps on how to do it: 1. Create an Excel file and save it in a location that you can access from your Java program. 2. In the Excel file, create a sheet named "LoginCredentials" and add the following columns: * Username * Password 3. Save the Excel file. 4. In your Java program, create a `WebDriver` object and start a new instance of Chrome. 5. Import the `org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook` class. 6. Create a `Workbook` object and load the Excel file that you created in Step 1. 7. Get the sheet named "LoginCredentials" from the `Workbook` object. 8. Get the cell values for the `Username` and `Password` columns. 9. Use the `WebDriver` object to login to the website using the credentials that you got from the Excel file. Here is an example of how to do this in Java: ```java import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; public class LoginWithExcelData { public static void main(String[] args) { WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); // Load the Excel file Workbook workbook = WorkbookFactory.create(new File("login_credentials.xlsx")); // Get the sheet named "LoginCredentials" Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet("LoginCredentials"); // Get the cell values for the "Username" and "Password" columns String username = sheet.getRow(0).getCell(0).getStringCellValue(); String password = sheet.getRow(0).getCell(1).getStringCellValue(); // Login to the website driver.get("www.example.com"); driver.findElementById("username").sendKeys(username); driver.findElementById("password").sendKeys(password); driver.findElementById("login").click(); } } ``` This code will load the Excel file named `login_credentials.xlsx` and get the cell values for the `Username` and `Password` columns. The code will then use the `WebDriver` object to login to the website using the credentials that it got from the Excel file

    Hi Purvi, generally null pointer exception comes when you try to use a variable that is not pointing to any object. The most common way to handle it is create a try catch block around the code that is throwing this exception and in the catch block write *catch(Exception exp){ system.out.println (exp.getCause()); system.out.println (exp.getMessage()); system.out.println (exp.printStackTrace()); }* Take care of syntax, spelling, I am just writing directly. www.educative.io/edpresso/how-to-resolve-the-javalangnullpointerexception

  • @RaghavPal

    @RaghavPal

    Жыл бұрын

    Hi Papun The NullPointerException you are getting is because the `XSSFRow.getCell()` method is trying to access a cell that does not exist. This can happen if the `XSSFSheet.getRow()` method returns `null`. There are a few ways to handle this exception. One way is to add a null check before calling the `XSSFRow.getCell()` method. For example: ```java XSSFRow row = sheet.getRow(1); if (row != null) { int cellValue = row.getCell(0).getNumericCellValue(); } else { // Handle the case where the row is null } ``` Another way to handle this exception is to use the `try-catch` block. For example: ```java try { int cellValue = row.getCell(0).getNumericCellValue(); } catch (NullPointerException e) { // Handle the case where the row is null } ``` The `try-catch` block will catch the NullPointerException and you can handle it accordingly. Here are some other things you can do to prevent this exception: * Make sure that the `XSSFSheet.getRow()` method returns a valid row before calling the `XSSFRow.getCell()` method. * Use the `XSSFRow.getPhysicalNumberOfCells()` method to check the number of cells in a row before calling the `XSSFRow.getCell()` method

    The error message "Cannot invoke "org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFSheet.getPhysicalNumberOfRows()" because "Utils.ExcelUtils.sheet" is null" means that the `sheet` variable is null. This can happen if you have not initialized the `sheet` variable, or if you have initialized it to a value of null. To fix this error, you need to initialize the `sheet` variable to a valid Excel sheet object. You can do this by opening the Excel sheet file and creating a new XSSFSheet object. Here is an example of how to initialize the `sheet` variable: ```java FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("my_excel_file.xlsx"); XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(fis); XSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheet("Sheet1"); ``` Once you have initialized the `sheet` variable, you should be able to access the rows and cells in the Excel sheet without any errors. Here is an example of how to access the rows and cells in the Excel sheet: ```java int rowCount = sheet.getPhysicalNumberOfRows(); for (int i = 0; i XSSFRow row = sheet.getRow(i); int cellCount = row.getPhysicalNumberOfCells(); for (int j = 0; j Cell cell = row.getCell(j); String cellValue = cell.getStringCellValue(); System.out.println(cellValue); } } ``` This code will print the value of each cell in the Excel sheet to the console. I hope this helps

    This is a great session, Raghav. I learned a ton of really useful stuff. Incitentally, where you use a function to get "user.dir", I have found that a dot character does the same thing. So I used this path for my spreadsheet: "./excel/LoginCredentials.xlsx". Is there a particular reason you don't do that?
