Run Selenium tests in multiple browsers with a base class

Question

Let\'s say I Have code:

namespace SeleniumTests 
{
    [TestFixture(typeof(FirefoxDriver))]
    [TestFixture(typeof(InternetExplorerDriver))]
    public clas         


        

Answer 1

This doesn't use generics like your example but instead kind of works like dependency injection.

You need a method to create the instance of the webdriver.

public class DriverFactory
{
    public IWebDriver Driver { get; set; }

    public enum DriverType
    {
        IE,
        Firefox,
        Chrome
    }

    public IWebDriver GetDriver(DriverType typeOfDriver)
    {
        if (typeOfDriver == DriverType.IE) return new InternetExplorerDriver();
        if (typeOfDriver == DriverType.Chrome) return new ChromeDriver();
        return new FirefoxDriver(); // return firefox by default
    }
}

Then call from your setup:

[Setup]
public void CreateDriver()
{
    var driverFactory = new DriverFactory();
    this.driver = driverFactory.GetDriver(DriverType.Chrome);
}

You can inherit the class:

public class TestWithMultipleBrowsers : DriverFactory
