Other Utilities in Katalium Framework

Parameterization​

TestNG provides a comprehensive mechanism for customizing parameters, which can be referred here.

In Katalium Framework, you can set default values for parameters in the file kata-default.properties (example), or using at runtime using Java's system properties, e.g. mvn clean test -DkataBrowser=firefox. This is very handy when you do not want reconfigure unchanged parameters.

Default values of parameters can be accessed using the helper com.katalon.kata.helper.ParameterHelper.

Logging​

Katalium Framework provides the class com.katalon.kata.helper.LogHelper to help retrieve org.slf4j.Logger instances with correct class names.

private static final Logger log = LogHelper.getLogger();
log.info("Open CURA home page.");

Sample output:

09:26:29.475 [main] INFO  com.katalon.kata.testng.TestTemplate - Make appointment with parameters
09:26:29.475 [main] INFO  com.katalon.kata.testng.TestTemplate - Facility Hongkong CURA Healthcare Center
09:26:29.476 [main] INFO  com.katalon.kata.testng.TestTemplate - VisitDate 27/12/2016
09:26:29.476 [main] INFO  com.katalon.kata.testng.TestTemplate - Comment Please make appointment as soon as possible.
09:26:29.476 [main] INFO  c.katalon.kata.selenium.PageTemplate - Open CURA home page.
09:26:38.528 [main] INFO  c.katalon.kata.selenium.PageTemplate - Make appointment.

Logs will be printed out on the console and in TestNG XML reports.

Capture WebDriver actions​

You can attach a custom org.openqa.selenium.support.events.AbstractWebDriverEventListener to capture WebDriver events (source code):

package com.katalon.kata.sample.listener;

import com.katalon.kata.webdriver.WebDriverPool;
import org.testng.IExecutionListener;

public class EventListener implements IExecutionListener {
  @Override
  public void onExecutionStart() {
    WebDriverPool webDriverPool = WebDriverPool.get();
    webDriverPool.setAfterCreateDriverListener(driver -> {
      driver.register(new WebDriverEventListener());
    });
  }

  @Override
  public void onExecutionFinish() {

  }
}
