Code Usage

Purpose

• We can access the config values in code

Access

• Values added to properties files are run through code generation to become accessible

• Syntax: ConfigVariable.<property name>.to<type>()

• eg.

• // Accessing config integer values
  ConfigVariable.globalTimeoutSeconds().toInt();
  
  // for boolean values
  boolean appiumLogging = ConfigVariable.appiumLogging().toBoolean();
  
  // for String values
  String appiumLogLevel = ConfigVariable.appiumLogginLevel().toString();

Updating Values

• Values can be updated using syntax:

  • ConfigVariable.<property name>().setValue(value);

• ConfigVariable.globalTimeoutSeconds().setValue(90); 

Adding Values

• Values can be added to config as follows:

• ConfigVariable.setValue("sample.value", true);
  
  To access added value:
  boolean value = ConfigVariable.getBooleanValue("sample.value");
  
  if Integer:
  int value = ConfigVariable.getIntegerValue("sample.value");
  
  if String:
  String value = ConfigVariable.getStringValue("sample.value");

Scope

• Config values are scoped based on access layer.

  • Config value set or updated at before suite, is available to all tests

  • Config value set or updated at before class, is available to all tests in set class

  • Config value set or updated at test method, is available to the test only
