How to close the second tab once it’s functionality is done , in Webdriver Java.

The code is

public static void closeSecondTabAndSwitchToFirstTab(WebDriver driver){
        ArrayList<String> tab = new ArrayList<String> (driver.getWindowHandles());
        System.out.println("No of tabs are  --"+tab);
        if (tab.size() == 1) {
            System.out.println("No additional tabs.");
            driver.switchTo().window(tab.get(0));
        } else {
            //Close the second window.
            driver.switchTo().window(tab.get(1));
            driver.close();
            System.out.println("Closed the second tab using index 1.");
            driver.switchTo().window(tab.get(0));
            System.out.println("Switched to main window using index 0.");
        }
    }

How to access Test plan’s keys (variables) using ISuite suite.

Recently, I had a requirement to get a value from Test plan xml file to a onStart method in SuiteListener class which implements ISuiteListener

public class SuiteListener implements ISuiteListener {
@Override//This is equal to before Suite.
public void onStart(ISuite suite) {
}
}

To solve that I used suite.getAttribute method.

public void onStart(ISuite suite) {
String value = (String) suite.getAttribute("browserVersion");
String browserVersion= suite.getXmlSuite().getParameter("browserVersion");System.out.println("browserVersion is "+browserVersion);
}

So it’s output the below output.

browserVersion is 95

My Test plan is like below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "https://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite thread-count="2" name="Problem-Management-Suite" parallel="tests">
    <listeners>
        <listener class-name="com.sam.reporting.SuiteListener" />
        <listener class-name="com.sam.reporting.Listeners" />
    </listeners>
    <parameter name="browser" value="Chrome" />
   <parameter name="browserVersion" value="95" /><test  name="test name-01">
        <classes>
            <class name="com.sam.testcases..TC_01"/>
        </classes>
    </test> <!-- Test -->
   
</suite>

Get current date time in a defined format with IST time zone

For that could use below code in Java 1,8 or above.

public static  String  getCurrentDate(){
    final ZonedDateTime now = ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneId.of("Asia/Kolkata"));
    String Temporal= DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd").format(now);
    String today= LocalDate.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(Temporal));
    return today;
}

pattern can be further modified. Here it’s return time as well.

String Temporal= DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").format(now);

Output is

2021–11–05 17:51:50
