Tellurium is an automated web testing framework. Although it is built on top of Selenium at the current stage, there are many conceptual differences between the two. The main features of Tellurium are list as follows:
This tutorial tries to achieve the following goals,
First, you need to have Maven 2.0.9 installed and make sure you have M2_HOME environment set in your system.
Then, add Tellurium Maven repository into your Maven settings.xml, usually it is at Your_HOME/.m2/. Cut and post the following profile between the
<settings>
and </settings>
tags in your settings.xml
<profiles>
<profile>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>

Go to your work space and run the following Maven command to create a new Tellurium test project called "demo":
mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=example -DartifactId=demo -DarchetypeArtifactId=tellurium-junit-archetype -DarchetypeGroupId=tellurium -DarchetypeVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT
Go the demo project directory and you will find the following files
where the TelluriumConfig.groovy includes Tellurium project settings and you can customize them to you need
tellurium{
//embedded selenium server configuration
embeddedserver {
//port number
port = "4444"
//whether to use multiple windows
useMultiWindows = false
//whether to run the embedded selenium server. If false, you need to manually set up a selenium server
runInternally = true
//profile location
profile = ""
//user-extension.js file, for example, "target/test-classes/extension/user-extensions.js"
userExtension = ""
}
//event handler
eventhandler{
//whether we should check if the UI element is presented
checkElement = false
//wether we add additional events like "mouse over"
extraEvent = true
}
//data aclearcase/" target="_blank" >ccessor
accessor{
//whether we should check if the UI element is presented
checkElement = true
}
//the configuration for the connector that connects the selenium client to the selenium server
connector{
//selenium server host
//please change the host if you run the Selenium server remotely
serverHost = "localhost"
//server port number the client needs to connect
port = "4444"
//base URL
baseUrl = "http://localhost:8080"
//Browser setting, valid options are
// *firefox [absolute path]
// *iexplore [absolute path]
// *chrome
// *iehta
browser = "*chrome"
//user's class to hold custom selenium methods associated with user-extensions.js
//should in full class name, for instance, "com.mycom.CustomSelenium"
customClass = ""
}
datadriven{
dataprovider{
//specify which data reader you like the data provider to use
//the valid options include "PipeFileReader", "CVSFileReader" at this point
reader = "PipeFileReader"
}
}
test{
//at current stage, the result report is only for tellurium data driven testing
//we may add the result report for regular tellurium test case
result{
//specify what result reporter used for the test result
//valid options include "SimpleResultReporter", "XMLResultReporter", and "StreamXMLResultReporter"
reporter = "XMLResultReporter"
//the output of the result
//valid options include "Console", "File" at this point
//if the option is "File", you need to specify the file name, other wise it will use the default
//file name "TestResults.output"
output = "Console"
//test result output file name
filename = "TestResult.output"
}
exception{
//whether Tellurium captures the screenshot when exception occurs.
//Note that the exception is the one thrown by Selenium Server
//we do not care the test logic errors here
captureScreenshot = true
//we may have a series of screenshots, specify the file name pattern here
//Here the ? will be replaced by the timestamp and you might also want to put
//file path in the file name pattern
filenamePattern = "Screenshot?.png"
}
}
uiobject{
builder{
//user can specify custom UI objects here by define the builder for each UI object
//the custom UI object builder must extend UiObjectBuilder class
//and implement the following method:
//
// public build(Map map, Closure c)
//
//For container type UI object, the builder is a bit more complicated, please
//take the TableBuilder or ListBuilder as an example
//example:
// Icon="org.tellurium.builder.IconBuilder"
}
}
widget{
module{
//define your widget modules here, for example Dojo or ExtJs
// included="dojo, extjs"
included=""
}
}
}
The GoogleSearchModule is the UI module for Google search and it is automatically generated by Tellurium Firefox Plugin (TrUMP). The two test methods doGoogleSearch and doImFeelingLucky are added for regular Goolge search and Google search for "I'm Feeling Lucky".
public class GoogleSearchModule extends DslContext {
public void defineUi() {
ui.Container(uid: "Google", clocator: [tag: "table"]) {
InputBox(uid: "Input", clocator: [tag: "input", title: "Google Search", name: "q"])
SubmitButton(uid: "Search", clocator: [tag: "input", type: "submit", value: "Google Search", name: "btnG"])
SubmitButton(uid: "ImFeelingLucky", clocator: [tag: "input", type: "submit", value: "I'm Feeling Lucky", name: "btnI"])
}
}
public void doGoogleSearch(String input) {
keyType "Google.Input", input
pause 500
click "Google.Search"
waitForPageToLoad 30000
}
public void doImFeelingLucky(String input) {
type "Google.Input", input
pause 500
click "Google.ImFeelingLucky"
waitForPageToLoad 30000
}
}
The GoogleSearchTestCase is a Tellurium JUnit test case by extending the class TelluriumJavaTestCase.
public class GoogleSearchTestCase extends TelluriumJavaTestCase {
private static GoogleSearchModule gsm;
@BeforeClass
public static void initUi() {
gsm = new GoogleSearchModule();
gsm.defineUi();
}
@Before
public void connectToGoogle() {
connectUrl("http://www.google.com");
}
@Test
public void testGoogleSearch() {
gsm.doGoogleSearch("tellurium Groovy Test");
}
@Test
public void testGoogleSearchFeelingLucky() {
gsm.doImFeelingLucky("tellurium automated Testing");
}
}
Once the demo project is created you can load it up using your favourite IDE. For example, in IntelliJ IDEA, you should do the following steps
New Project > Import project from external model > Maven > Project directory > Finish
Since it is a Maven project, the IDE will automatically try to solve the project dependency for you and download appropriate jars. Then, click on module settings to make sure the Groovy version is 1.6.0 as shown in the following picture
After that, you are read to run the sampel test file GoogleSearchTestCase.
If you want to run the sample tests in command line, you can use the following command
mvn test
