I'm writing a parameterized UI-tests for creating a new user. Previously I did it with @pytest.mark.parametrize(), but now I decided to try @parameterized .
What my code looks like:
class TestUsers:
@pytest.mark.usefixtures("open_users_page")
@pytest.mark.usefixtures("login")
@parameterized.expand([
('username', 'password', 'password_confirm', 'email'), # test id
... and other parameters. After that:
@pytest.mark.usefixtures("fill_create_user_form") # where i fill non-parameterized fields
def test_user(self, driver, name, password, password_confirm, email):
users_page = UsersPage(driver) # where driver is a geckodriver
users_page.set_name(name)
users_page.set_password(password)
users_page.set_password_conf(passwordConf)
users_page.set_email(email)
users_page.click_create_new_user_button()
After running this I get the error: TypeError: test_user() missing 1 required positional argument: 'email'
and we tried to rewrite it like this:
def test_user(self, *args, **kwargs)
print(args, kwargs)
users_page = UsersPage(driver)
-- tests printed the args and went to the next step before going to the next step and using the driver. I have to note that this test worked:
def test_empty_fields(self, driver):
"""Try to create a new user with empty input fields - an errors should appear"""
users_page = UsersPage(driver)
users_page.click_add_user_button()
users_page.click_create_new_user_button()
errors = users_page.find_item_errors_on_page()
errors_count = len(errors)
assert errors_count == 9
So the question is: how can I use self and driver in this situation?
Or should I just forget about the test class and @parameterized and use old @pytest.mark.parametrize? :)
Well, so after a couple of days of debugging we understood that when I have a couple of fixtures before the test class, then a couple of fixture in the class itself, some of them returns me the 'driver', then I have this code:
@parameterized.expand([
("short password", 'username', 'password', 'password', 'email@email.com', '',
pass_len_errs),
...)
