TestWise 5 is released

I am happy to announce that TestWise 5 is released. One key feature of TestWise 5 is that users now have the flexibility to use any Gems in your test scripts with the full control of managing gems.

Select menu 'Tools' -> 'Show Ruby Gems' or run 'gem install' under 'C:\agileway\TestWise\vendor\ruby-runtime\bin'.

This also means that you can write test scripts with Capybara, Cucumber 2, ..., etc, with the simple and easy to use TestWise features. Of course, there are other new features and enhancements, which I will post them later.

However, The flexiblity comes with a scariface in TestWise 5: running selected test scripts against the current browser. TestWise 4 implemented this which was considered "isn't technically possible". Don't worry, you can still use TestWise 4 as needed, your license will work on both TestWise 4.6 and TestWise 5.

Here is a guide to get your test script to be compatible with both TestWise versions.

In test_helper.rb:

1. change the way load TestWiseSupport in test_helper.rb
   

   require "#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/testwise_support.rb"
   

   to

   if defined?(TestWiseRuntimeSupport)
   ::TestWise::Runtime.load_webdriver_support # for selenium webdriver support
   else
   require "#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/testwise_support.rb"
   end
   

   and change

   include TestWiseSupport
   

   to

   module TestHelper
     #...
     if defined?(TestWiseRuntimeSupport)  # TestWise 5
       include TestWiseRuntimeSupport 
     else
       include TestWiseSupport      # TestWise 4
     end
   

2. Also do the same for abstract_page.rb
   change

   include TestWiseSupport
   

   to

          if defined?(TestWiseRuntimeSupport)
             include TestWiseRuntimeSupport
     else
           include TestWiseSupport
           end
   

3. 'browser_type' and 'site_url' methods to have "ENV[...]"

     def browser_type
       if $TESTWISE_BROWSER then
         $TESTWISE_BROWSER.downcase.to_sym
       elsif ENV["BROWSER"]
         ENV["BROWSER"].downcase.to_sym     
       else
         RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mingw/ ? "ie".to_sym : "firefox".to_sym
       end
     end
     alias the_browser browser_type
   
     def site_url(default = "http://agiletravel.herokuapp.com")
       $TESTWISE_PROJECT_BASE_URL ||  ENV['BASE_URL'] || default
     end
