Selenium WebDriver - Delete cookies and restart the browser during the test

Question

I have a test case to test is the cart items still exist after delete cookies and restart the browser

1. Add the items to shopping cart (there will be a count to indicated number of items added)
2. Delete the cookies on the browser,
3. Close the browser
4. Relaunch the browser
5. Check is the shopping cart count items still exists

my main code are below.

// 1. Add items to shopping cart
// code go here

// 2. Clear the cookies on the browser
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();         
driver.navigate().refresh();
// 3. Close the browser
driver.close();                             

ProfilesIni firProfiles = new ProfilesIni();        
FirefoxProfile wbdrverprofile = firProfiles.getProfile("default");  
// 4. Relaunch the browser      
driver = new FirefoxDriver(wbdrverprofile);                 
driver.get("http://www.google.com");        

Boolean isCartCountExists = driver.findElements(By.id(cartCount)).size()!=0;
if(isCartCountExists == true){
    System.out.println("Test Failed.");
}else{
    System.out.println("Test Passed.")
}

@AfterTest code

@AfterTest
    public void closeBrowser(){

        driver.close();
        ExistingmozillaBrowser=null;

    }

Getting error log below

It seem like after close the browser, the test unable to continue after restart. Any help will be appreciate. Thanks.

Answer 1

I think this way should work:

Steps (this is a chrome example):

• Use the user-dir argument in your browser configuration:

  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "res/chromedriver.exe");
  DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
  ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
  options.addArguments("test-type");
  options.addArguments("start-maximized");
  options.addArguments("user-data-dir=D:/temp/");
  capabilities.setCapability("chrome.binary","res/chromedriver.exe");
  capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY,options);
  WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
  

• Add the items to your shopping cart

• Close the driver (do NOT quit)

  driver.close();
  

• In the background, delete the user-dir which is D:/temp/ which has the browser profile. This would be the cookie deleting part.

• Re-initialise the driver and verify shopping cart is empty

  driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
  

PS: I hope this helps. I have seen that this type of code can be used to test the "Remember me" functionality. I am not so sure about shopping cart.
