want to fetch the data from excel file - selenium-webdriver

Question

Data drven framework, where the values are changing for every case
public static void main(String[] args) throws BiffException, IOException {
Sheet s;
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream("D:\\Nikhil\\FGX\\DataDriven.xlsx");
Workbook W = Workbook.getWorkbook(fi);
s = W.getSheet(0);
for(int row = 0;row <= s.getRows();row++)
{
String Username = s.getCell(0,row).getContents();
System.out.println("Username" +Username);
driver.get("http://********");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='LoginName']")).sendKeys(Username);
String password= s.getCell(1, row).getContents();
System.out.println("Password "+password);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='Password']")).sendKeys(password);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/form/div/div/div/div/fieldset/button")).click();
}

Answer 1

There are several reasons to get the BiffException look at Biff exception in Java.
Make sure you point the correct file, sheet, cell etc. You need to fetch and iterate the excel data. I may not answered directly to your answer, but the below code might help you,
List getData() { **Fetch the data
String path = "filepath";
List dataList = new ArrayList();
FileInputStream fis = null;
try {
fis = new FileInputStream(new File(path));
XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(fis);
XSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheet("TestData");
java.util.Iterator rows = sheet.rowIterator();
while (rows.hasNext()) {
XSSFRow row = ((XSSFRow) rows.next());
// int r=row.getRowNum();
java.util.Iterator cells = row.cellIterator();
int i = 0;
String[] testData= new String[3];
while (cells.hasNext()) {
XSSFCell cell = (XSSFCell) cells.next();
String value = cell.getStringCellValue();
if (!value.equals(null)) {
testData [i] = value;
i++;
}
}
dataList.add(testData);
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return dataList;
}
public Object[][] data() { **Store the data in desired format
#SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
List dataList= getData();
Object a[][]=new Object[dataList.size()][2];
for(int i=1;i<dataList.size();i++){
String[] test=(String[]) dataList.get(i);
String username = test[0];
String password=test[1];
a[i][0]=username;
a[i][1]=password;
}
return a;
