How to use exampleFinished method of net.serenitybdd.junit.runners.FailureDetectingStepListener class

I found the answer. The driver confguration used by the framework is held in the serenity.properties file associated with the project.

I believe that this should be possible using the custom environments option when scheduling a run in Device Farm. Admittedly, I don't have experience with serenity but here is blog which uses cucumber tests.

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mobile/testing-mobile-apps-with-cucumber-and-appium-through-testng-on-aws-device-farm/

It looks like serenity is similar or extended from cucumber so in theory this might work.

[Edit]

Here are a few short gradle build tasks which should help to create a test package for Device Farm.

Note: this assumes that the dependencies are structured in the build.gradle file like this:

dependencies {

    testCompile(
            'net.serenity-bdd:serenity-junit:2.0.18',
            'net.serenity-bdd:serenity-cucumber:1.9.20',
            'org.assertj:assertj-core:3.11.1',
            'ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:1.2.3',
            'io.github.bonigarcia:webdrivermanager:3.0.0'
    )
}

sample build.gradle code

//source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27455099/8016330
task getDeps(type: Copy) {
    from sourceSets.test.runtimeClasspath
    // if you need this from the dependencies in the build.gradle then it should be : 
    // from sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
    into 'build/libs/dependency-jars'
}

//packaging tests task which is generated from sample using gradle init
task packageTests(type: Jar) {
    dependsOn getDeps
    from sourceSets.test.output
    classifier = 'tests'
}

//create zip archive
//source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36883221/8016330
task zip(type: Zip) {
    dependsOn packageTests
    from 'build/libs/'
    include '*'
    include '*/*' //to include contents of a folder present inside dependency-jars directory
    archiveName 'zip-with-dependencies.zip'
    destinationDir(file('build/libs/'))
}

Then you should be able to create the zip file using this command:

./gradlew clean zip

Note: You'll need the clean command otherwise it will package the previous zip archive in the new zip archive.

You can also configure it in serenity.conf file

So something like that;

# Remote
webdriver {
  driver = remote
  remote {
      url="http://localhost:4445/wd/hub"
      driver=chrome
  }
}

If you are using Maven take a look at Maven Failsafe plugin Rerun Failing Tests feature:

http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/examples/rerun-failing-tests.html

Enter the following property in serenity.properties file

webdriver.base.url = http://en.wiktionary.org

In your page object define the DefaultUrl like this

@DefaultUrl("/wiki/Wiktionary")
public class DictionaryPage extends PageObject {


}

Serenity will construct the complete URL while calling DefaultUrl.

For further reference on all the properties available in serenity.properties please refer link below https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-documentation/blob/master/src/asciidoc/system-props.adoc

You can use tagging for that purpose. Information about that feature can be found in Serenity BDD official documentation.

Just a short excerpt, tags are added to jUnit tests using WithTag annotation. The following will add a tag of type feature (this is a default Serenity type) with name Reporting:

@WithTag(type="feature", name="Reporting")

Then you can run tests with this tag with jUnit like this:

mvn clean verify -Dtags="feature:Reporting"

Answer 11 from this Stack Overflow question solved my problem

Apparently you have to run the class containing the test, and not the test itself.

Just confirm first that your using supported surefire and junit version. For more details refer https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/single-test.html

In case your using maven failsafe plugin then the syntax will vary little bit. Something like this

mvn -Dit.test=ITCircle#test* verify

Refer https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/examples/single-test.html for more details.
