BaseDriver / Driver Factory for selenium Framework using "singleton" Design Pattern.

Every other kind of selenium framework need one awesome utility to create driver object in generic way.

here is my way.

i used singleton design pattern for the same.


package com.companyname.automation_one.web.pom.driver;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

import com.companyname.automation_one.utils.PropertiesReaderUtility;

public class BaseDriver {

public static WebDriver driver;

public static void startSession() {
String browser, remote, baseUrl;
URL hub_url = null;
String user_dir = System.getProperty("user.dir");

PropertiesReaderUtility prop = new PropertiesReaderUtility(user_dir + "/selenium.properties");
browser = System.getProperty("browser", prop.getProperty("browser"));
remote = System.getProperty("remote.webdriver", prop.getProperty("remote.webdriver"));
baseUrl = System.getProperty("baseurl.dev", prop.getProperty("baseurl.dev"));
try {
hub_url = new URL(System.getProperty("hub.url", prop.getProperty("hub.url")));
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (driver == null) {
if (remote.equalsIgnoreCase("false"))

switch (browser) {
case "firefox":
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.driver",
user_dir + "\\src\\ExternalJars\\geckodriver\\geckodriver.exe");
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
break;
case "chrome":
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
user_dir + "\\src\\ExternalJars\\chromeDriver\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
break;
case "ie":
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver",
user_dir + "\\src\\ExternalJars\\IEDriverServer_x64_2.25.3\\IEDriverServer.exe");

DesiredCapabilities ieCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
ieCapabilities.setCapability(
InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true);
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieCapabilities);
break;
}
else
switch (browser) {
case "firefox":
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.driver",
user_dir + "\\src\\ExternalJars\\geckodriver\\geckodriver.exe");
FirefoxProfile fp = new FirefoxProfile();

driver = new RemoteWebDriver(hub_url, dc_chr);

break;

DesiredCapabilities ieCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
ieCapabilities.setCapability(
InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true);
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(hub_url, ieCapabilities);
break;
}
}
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get(baseUrl);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}

public static void stopSession() {
driver.quit();
driver = null;
}
}
