Selenium GitHub Actions
Using Selenium with GitHub Actions allows you to automate web browser testing as part of your continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) workflows. GitHub Actions is a CI/CD platform provided by GitHub, which enables you to define custom workflows using YAML configuration files.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up Selenium with GitHub Actions:
Create a GitHub repository: If you haven’t already, create a new repository on GitHub where you’ll store your code and workflow configuration.
Write your test scripts: Develop your Selenium test scripts in a programming language of your choice (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript). Ensure you have the necessary dependencies, including the Selenium WebDriver for your preferred browser (e.g., ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver for Firefox).
Configure GitHub Actions workflow: Create a
.github/workflowsdirectory in your repository root (if it doesn’t exist), and create a new YAML file inside it. The name of the file should end with.yml(e.g.,selenium_test.yml). This YAML file will define your GitHub Actions workflow.Define the workflow: Within the YAML file, you’ll define the steps to execute in your workflow. Here’s an example workflow configuration for running Selenium tests using Python:
name: Selenium Tests
on:
push:
branches:
– main
pull_request:
branches:
– main
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
– name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout@v2
– name: Set up Python
uses: actions/setup-python@v2
with:
python-version: 3.x
- name: Install dependencies
run: |
pip install -r requirements.txt
- name: Run Selenium tests
run: |
python path/to/your/selenium_tests.py
Push to GitHub: Commit and push the
.github/workflows/selenium_test.ymlfile along with your Selenium test scripts to your GitHub repository.GitHub Actions execution: After pushing the workflow configuration, GitHub Actions will automatically execute your Selenium tests whenever there’s a push to the main branch or a new pull request is created.
Note: Make sure to replace path/to/your/selenium_tests.py with the actual path to your Selenium test script.
Remember to set up any necessary secrets or environment variables for your Selenium tests, such as login credentials or URLs, using GitHub’s secrets feature. This way, you can keep sensitive information secure and not expose them in the workflow configuration file.
By incorporating Selenium tests in your GitHub Actions workflow, you can ensure that your web application remains stable and functional with every code change. Additionally, it helps catch and fix bugs early in the development process, leading to more reliable software releases.
