Proposed by email on 23/10/2019 ~ 11AM

Submission on 25/10/2019 ~ 9AM

No previous knowledge of Python

Bootstrapping

• Get Python 3.*

• Get pipenv

  • pip install pipenv

• cd to the root of the project and run

• pipenv install

• Run (all) the tests

  • pipenv run tests

• Run BDD style tests:

  • pipenv run testsbdd

Things to not miss about my application:

• Stack: pytest, pytest-bdd, selenium 4

• 4 tests total: 2 tests with pytest and 2 Scenarios with pytest-bdd🥒

  • Can proceed to checkout after uploading a 3D model file
  • Can proceed to checkout by using the sample

• Using Page Object model throughout

• Pipfile scripts

• Gherkin Scenarios run from Home Page and on any viewport/device

• Implemented HTML report for the test runs

  • You should have a report.html in the root directory after running the tests
  • In the fat chance the tests fail a screenshot will be saved to the assets folder and attached to the report

• Found out where you keep your precious sample 3D model file you use for the sample demonstration and I used for the tests 😎

• Found some cool issues

Lessons learned

Read headaches.

On Python:

• Test definitions HAVE to start with 'test' 🙄

• The test setup file HAS to be named conftest.py 🙄

• Every folder/module NEEDS to be have a init.py in there for module resolution 🙄

  • The stable Python Selenium libraries are outdated as heck 🙄

  • they are non-W3C compliant, had to use an alpha version of the package

• The Python Selenium bindings REALLY wants the chromedriver/geckodriver file in the Windows' PATH to have the .exe extension

  • could not use my already installed nodeJS drivers 😢🙄

• ...and many more to count/remember

Things I could improve, given more time:

• Folder structure, file organization
• Parameterizing the BDD Scenarios for stuff like email
