# Java Testing Guide This guide helps contributors write tests in the Selenium Java codebase. ## Test Framework * Browser tests use JUnit 5 (Jupiter) and extend `JupiterTestBase`. * Test HTML pages live in `common/src/web/`. * `pages` field gets URLs from `java/test/org/openqa/selenium/testing/Pages.java`. * There are 2 pre-configured wait methods for 5 seconds and 10 seconds. * Assertions use the AssertJ library. ```java class MyFeatureTest extends JupiterTestBase { @Test void testBasicFunctionality() { driver.get(pages.xhtmlTestPage); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.titleIs("XHTML Test Page")); // 10s timeout shortWait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(element)); // 5s timeout assertThat(driver.getTitle()).isEqualTo("XHTML Test Page"); } @Test void testWithLocalDriver() { localDriver = new ChromeDriver(); localDriver.get(pages.xhtmlTestPage); wait(localDriver).until(ExpectedConditions.titleIs("XHTML Test Page")); // creates 10s wait } } ``` ## Running Tests Bazel creates separate test targets for browsers and remote grid depending on what is supported in the `BUILD.bazel` file in that test's directory. Tests run in parallel by default. ```shell bazel test //java/... # Run all Java tests bazel test //java/test/org/openqa/selenium/bidi/... # Run all tests in bidi directory bazel test //java/test/org/openqa/selenium/chrome:ChromeDriverFunctionalTest # Run a specific test # Test Filters bazel test //java/... --test_size_filters=small # unit tests only (no browser) bazel test //java/... --test_size_filters=large # all browser tests bazel test //java/... --test_tag_filters=chrome # chrome tests only bazel test //java/... --test_tag_filters=remote-browser # all browser tests that run on grid bazel test //java/... --test_tag_filters=-safari # no safari tests (use `-` to exclude a tag) # Additional Arguments bazel test //java/... --pin_browsers # Use pinned browser versions (recommended) bazel test //java/... --flaky_test_attempts=3 # Rerun failed tests up to 3 times bazel test //java/... --test_output=all # displays all test output at end of run bazel test //java/... --test_output=streamed # displays test output in real time (disables parallel execution) ``` ## Annotations Valid Browser values: `CHROME`, `EDGE`, `FIREFOX`, `SAFARI`, `IE`, `ALL`. (Default is `ALL`) ### Skipping and Expected Failures These accept parameters for `value` (browser name) and `reason`. Each browser on a separate line. | Annotation | When to Use | |------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `@Ignore` | Test doesn't work for a browser. Also accepts `issue` (GitHub issue, e.g. `"#1234"`) and `gitHubActions` (only skip on CI). | | `@NotYetImplemented` | Feature isn't implemented yet. Test always runs and passes if it fails, and fails if it unexpectedly passes so the annotation can be removed. | ### Driver Lifecycle The shared `driver` is reused across tests for efficiency. These annotations control that behavior. They accept `value` (browser) and `reason`. | Annotation | When to Use | |------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `@NeedsFreshDriver` | Test needs clean browser state with default capabilities. Driver is restarted before the test. | | `@NoDriverBeforeTest` | Test needs custom capabilities or tests driver creation itself. Driver is destroyed, must use `createNewDriver(capabilities)` in the test to create one. | | `@NoDriverAfterTest` | Test leaves browser in a bad state. Driver is restarted after the test. Also accepts `failedOnly`. | For tests needing two browsers simultaneously (e.g., multi-user scenarios), create a second instance with `localDriver = new ChromeDriver()`. This driver is automatically quit after the test. If `createNewDriver(capabilities)` is called without an annotation, it closes the current driver and creates a new one. *Be careful with hard-coding the creation of new drivers since it may conflict with the current Bazel target.* ### Other | Annotation | When to Use | |------------|-------------| | `@SwitchToTopAfterTest` | Test navigates into frames. Automatically switches to default content after. | | `@NeedsSecureServer` | Class-level. All tests in the class need HTTPS. | ## Build files * Adding tests shouldn't require changes in Bazel files since most are picked up automatically. * Make sure the `*Test.java` file is in a directory that has a `BUILD.bazel` file with a `java_selenium_test_suite` declaration.
