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

The problem is naming convention of properties file, Since you named it as application-QA1.properties it becomes profiles specific properties file Profile-specific properties and you can load those properties by making profile active in application.properties like here

spring.profiles.active=QA1

Or through command line

java -jar myproject.jar --spring.profiles.active=QA1

And another information, value in @Component annotation indicates the bean name

he value may indicate a suggestion for a logical component name, to be turned into a Spring bean in case of an autodetected component.

Put in the test, in try-catch waiting for the popup. If it will appear - make needed actions, then go to next step, if don't appear - then just go to the next steps. Here is almost same question with good answer: Executing scenario even if one of the step is failed

Find the solution for parallel execution with cucumber 7 and serenity junit 4. Below pom.xml is tested and working to execute parallel. According to this pom.xml to execute two ways:

1. locally - add to your runner in tags tag you want to run and then execute this command mvn clean verify

2. mvn clean verify -Dtags="@yourtagHere"

Working pom.xml:

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.

Looks like you are indirectly running Serenity through the junit-vintage-engine. When executed this way, parallel execution is simply not supported.

To be exact you are running your tests through Surefire -> JUnit 5 -> JUnit Vintage -> JUnit 4 -> Serenity -> Cucumber.

You'd have to wait for JUnit Vintage to support parallel execution or get rid of JUnit 5 from your depencies so Surefire can run JUnit 4 directly.

However given that you are also using Spring you may not be able to get rid of JUnit 5.

You could ask Serenity to support JUnit 5 but I suspect they will be unable too. They have never bothered to contribute the extension points they'd need upstream. Instead they have hacked their stuff into Cucumber.

Finally found a solution for my question. The thing is that you need to initialize spring context before collecting test data in static method and than you can inject it. After everyting test will looks like this:

@RunWith(SerenityParameterizedRunner.class)
@Concurrent(threads = "5")
public class PlayerTest {

    private Player player;
    private static PlayerService playerService;

    public PlayerTest (Player player) {
        this.player = player;
    }

    private static synchronized void initBeans() {
        if(context == null)
        {
            context = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext("com.package.service");
        }
        playerService = context.getBean(PlayerServiceImpl.class);
    }

    @TestData
    public static Collection<Object[]> testData() {
        return playerService.getPlayers()
                .stream()
                .map(it -> new Object[]{it})
                .collect(Collectors.toList());
    }

    @Steps
    FeedsSteps feedsSteps;

    @Test
    @Title("Check player data")
    public void testPlayer() {
        feedsSteps.checkPlayer(player);
    }

}

I figured out how it actually works. All you have to do is add Surefire plugin with Failsafe plugin when you use both of them. It works like a charm.

You are able to use csv as it is a direct use txt file. If you want to use excel, need poi dependency which can help you to fetch excel data or create one. dependency groupId org.apache.poi artifactId poi version 3.14

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.
