Thucydides Release 0.9.229

There have been many releases since the last release notes were published, so this entry will summarize some of the highlights that are included in release 0.9.229 (though many came out in releases previous to that). Some of the highlights include:

• Added support for Selenium 2.39.0
• Testing AngularJS is made easier with support for the ng-model attribute in the Thucydides @FindBy annotation. Suppose you have this AngularJS input field:

<input ng-model="angularField" value="Model value" />

You can now find this directly using the Thucydides @FindBy:

import net.thucydides.core.annotations.findby.FindBy
 @FindBy(ngModel = "angularField")
 public WebElementFacade ngModelField;

• Support for nested page objects – you can have page object fields inside other page objects. This makes it easier to write page objects for smaller reusable sections of the screen.
• You don’t need to override the constructors for ScenarioSteps and PageObjects any more
• You can provide your own webdriver instance using the ‘webdriver.provided.type’. Just implement the DriverSource interface. For example, you could implement a class like this:

package com.acme

public class MyFunkyDriverSourceImpl implements DriverSource {
    public WebDriver newDriver() {
       return new FunkyWebDriver();

    }
}

Then just run the tests with the following properties (e.g. in the thucyiddes.properties file or on the command line):

webdriver.driver = provided
 webdriver.provided.type = funky
 webdriver.provided.funky = com.acme.MyFunkyDriverSourceImpl

• Lots of improvements to the reports, including:
  • Reports now have the option to hide the pie chart on the aggregate pages
  • Test reports now display the date and time of the report generation on each page.
  • You can use the ‘show.related.tags’ system property to display (default) or hide related tag statistics on the dashboard
  • Support for reporting on releases/versions by integrating with JIRA (there will be a full article on this feature shortly)
  • Support for integration with 3rd party test management software such as the JIRA Zephyr plugin to report on manual as well as automated tests
• Many bug fixes
