How to Implement Conditionally Running of Tests in TestNG? - selenium-webdriver

Question

I am stuck in a scenario, where user is allowed to rate the movie only once a day with same user credentials.
If user tried to rate the same movie or contract, error pop_up seen.
I want to Implement in a way, that if once any movie/contract is rated. The rating functionality should be skipped and Error pop should be Handled.
I am using Selenium eclipse 2017, Chrome browser 61.0 and Test-Ng
Please help in the same.
Thanks.

Answer 1

You can create a method and tag that method in your test method as dependsOnMethods . You can achieve it like below (i tried to answer to the best based on the info provided)
The idea here is that when your rated condition is met isMovieRated should throw exception so that Movies_Rating_page() will be skipped by testNG ,otherwise isMovieRated just returns true and nothing should be skip.
#Test
public static boolean isMovieRated(String locator) {
//check in "if" below that element has already clicked or is equal to something. I used 'AlreadyClicked' just to
give an idea as I dont have your application information.
if (driver.findElement(By.xpath(locator).getText()=="AlreadyClicked"){
throw new RuntimeException();
}
else {
return true;
}
}
Now your Movies_Rating_page() will look like this
#Test (priority = 3,dependsOnMethods = { "isMovieRated" })
public void Movies_Rating_page() throws Exception {
public static String YourLocator = "/html/body/...."
Ratings.isMovieRated(YourLocator);
..
}
here is a link for more info on testNG dependsOnMethods
Note:
The code above is not tested.
If you are doing things other than checking rating in Movies_Rating_page() then you should separate those things because everything will be skipped when an exception is thrown.
Hope this helps.
