Hi, I have created a custom driver for Playwright, and now when a scenario fails, I need a screenshot to be attached to the serenity report. But the report is generated without a screenshot. Can you help me achieve this? I understood that it can be achieved using Serenity @Managed, but I have created my driver factory using Threadlocal to support parallelization.

[globalworming]

does it work without your custom driver?

can you share your custom driver code?

[mabdulkadar]

I haven't tried without custom driver.

here is my driver factory code,

import com.microsoft.playwright.*;

public class DriverFactory {

    public Browser browser;
    public static ThreadLocal<BrowserContext> threadLocalContext = new ThreadLocal<>();
    public static ThreadLocal<Page> threadLocalDriver = new ThreadLocal<>(); // For Parallel execution

    public Page initDriver(String browserName) {
        BrowserType browserType = null;
        boolean headless = Boolean.valueOf(System.getProperty("headless"));
        browserName = (System.getProperty("browser");
        switch (browserName) {
            case "firefox":
                browserType = Playwright.create().firefox();
                browser = browserType.launch(new BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setHeadless(headless));
                break;
            case "chrome":
                browserType = Playwright.create().chromium();
                browser = browserType.launch(new BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setChannel("chrome").setHeadless(headless));
                break;
            case "webkit":
                browserType = Playwright.create().webkit();
                browser = browserType.launch(new BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setHeadless(headless));
                break;
        }
        if (browserType == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Could not launch browser for type: " + browserType);
        }
        BrowserContext context = browser.newContext();
        // Below line is used to start the trace file
        context.tracing().start(new Tracing.StartOptions().setScreenshots(true).setSnapshots(true).setSources(false));
        Page page = context.newPage();
        threadLocalContext.set(context);
        threadLocalDriver.set(page);
        return page;
    }

    public static Page getPage() {
        return threadLocalDriver.get(); 
    }

    public static BrowserContext getContext() {
        return threadLocalContext.get(); 
    }
}

Then I have hook,

public class Hooks {

    public DriverFactory driverFactory;
    public Page page;

    @Before
    public void launchBrowser() {
        String browserName = System.getProperty("browser");  
        driverFactory = new DriverFactory();
        page = driverFactory.initDriver(browserName); 
    }

    @After(order = 0)
    public void quitBrowser() {
        page.close();
    }
    
}

[globalworming]

you might wanne try with this https://serenity-bdd.github.io/docs/guide/page_objects#custom-webdriver-implementations
usually you just let serenity handle drivers.. hmm.. playwright looks quite different to other webdriver stuff.. so that may not be helpful at all :(

[mabdulkadar]

I see playwright screenshots implementation available for 3.2.0 as mentioned in pull request #2652

My serenity version is 3.7.1

I have added 'serenity.take.screenshot = BEFORE_AND_AFTER_EACH_STEP' in the serenity.properties, but stilll no screenshots . I haven't used screenplay in my step definition code

[nellorukiran]

@wakaleo and Team, my project facing some issue after upgrading chrome 116 version. There is no issue till chrome 114 version. I dnt know what depends required for 116v. Current serenity-core version 3.2.1

[dkoudrin]

Probably due to the bonnigarcia webdrivermanager, you can update that in your pom (or create a dependency entry if you don't have one already) file to version 5.5.3 and it should resolve things. Had the same issue. Alternatively you could update the serenity-core version to something more recent and that will pull in the latest webdrivermanager too.

[wakaleo]

In Serenity BDD 4.0.x we have removed WebdriverManager entirely and are using the preferred built-in Selenium solution.

[nellorukiran]

Serenity.conf

webdriver {
driver = chrome
autodownloaf = true
}

Pom..XML

Serenity-core 4.0.1

Above is my existing application versions

[wakaleo]

You may need to install Chrome for Testing

[kavimukh]

Hello,

I am using serenity, java, selenium, mvn for my project.

I have following data in serenity.conf file

 chrome_webdriver {
    webdriver {
      driver = chrome
      autodownload = true
    }
    headless.mode = false
     #
     # Chrome options can be defined using the chrome.switches property
     #
     chrome.switches = """--remote-allow-origins=*;--start-maximized;--test-type;--no-sandbox;--ignore-certificate-errors;--disable-popup-blocking;--disable-default-apps;--disable-extensions-file-access-check;--incognito;--disable-infobars,--disable-gpu"""
   }

This is my suite file

@RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class)
@CucumberOptions(
plugin = {"pretty"},
features = "src/test/resources/features/test-IP-modal/"
)
public class myTestSuite {
}

mvn clean verify -Dtest=myTestSuite -Denvironment=chrome_webdriver

using 4.0.14 serenity version.

Getting following error

Can someone help me pls?

[tfarrar]

Try putting your seenity.conf file in the
src/java/resources folder.

[amadain17]

I use serenity to do end to end backend tests. I have an issue that I hope I can get help with. I want to access the environment variables set in the serenity.conf file. Normally this is straight forward. Use EnvironmentSpecificConfiguration like so:

EnvironmentSpecificConfiguration configuration = EnvironmentSpecificConfiguration.from(environmentVariables); MY_ENV_VAR = configuration.getProperty("property.from.serenity.conf.file");

My issue is I want use some of the environment specific variables in a cucumber @BeforeAll method which requires the method to be set at static. If I use the above code in a static method I get a nullPointerException. I was wondering if there was a way to get the configuration from the serenity.conf file from a static method in a different way

[wakaleo]

Try SerenityInfrastructure.getEnvironmentVariables()

Hello Serenity Team,

My serenity framework suddenly taking a lot of time between end of one test to start other.
Kindly help me as it is affecting my test execution initially 600 test cases were executed in 4hrs not it started taking 10hrs which is very strange and i am not able find out the cause.
@wakaleo if possible please help me on this issue.

[Shakib123]

Please share the link of this project so I map to my local

[Shakib123]

Suddenly after upgrading the Chrome Driver 124 it taking time around 10hrs for same execution which earlier was completing in 4hrs.

[wakaleo]

So it could be related to the driver version?

[Shakib123]

Yes I feel so but please share the link of your test project so i can run the same on my machine and verify if it runs in 3mins or not if more than 3mins it will take then we can look into the driver ..

[nellorukiran]

Killing should be used as a last option, I tried it but it comes with issues. You will get access denied issue and it is most common to get if you run alot of automated test. Remove the "no-sandbox" if you have it in your automated code somewhere.

[Shakib123]

tried to run after removing the "no-sandbox" but no luck still taking lot of time to complete the execution
