Password Manager testing automation

components/test/data/password_manager/README

+This file contains high-level info about how to use password manager tests and 
+how to create new ones.
+
+The password manager tests purpose is to allow automatic password manager 
+checking and avoiding to do so manually.
+The tests are written in python using selenium Webdriver library.
+
+
+=====Getting started=====
+
+Build ChromeDriver by building the 'chromedriver' target. This will
+create an executable binary in the build folder named 'chromedriver[.exe]'.
+
+Build chrome too by building the 'chrome' target. This will
+create an executable binary in the build folder named 'chrome[.exe]'.
+
+Install Selenium (the version tested was 2.41.0):
+pip install -U selenium
+
+
+For security reasons, we didn't publish the passwords and the usernames we 
+used to test. So we put them to an xml file (websites.xml). The structure of 
+the file is the following:
+<websites>
+    <website name = "website name">
+        <username>username</username>
+        <password>password</password>
+    </website>
+<websites>
+You can ask someone to give you the websites.xml file and put it in the same
+folder as the tests. You can also create your own websites.xml with your
+personal accounts.
+WARNING: All the content of the PROFILEPATH is going to be deleted.
+Show the help:
+python tests.py --help
+Run all the working tests tests by executing:
+python tests.py --chrome-path CHROMEPATH --chromedriver-path CHROMEDRIVERPATH 
+--profile-path PROFILEPATH [--passwords_path PASSWORDSPATH]
+
+Run all the tests by executing:
+python tests.py --all --chrome-path CHROMEPATH --chromedriver-path
+CHROMEDRIVERPATH --profile-path PROFILEPATH [--passwords_path PASSWORDSPATH]
+
+Run one or many tests by executing:
+python tests.py google --chrome-path CHROMEPATH --chromedriver-path 
+CHROMEDRIVERPATH profile-path PROFILEPATH [--passwords_path PASSWORDSPATH]
+
+python tests.py google facebook --chrome-path CHROMEPATH --chromedriver-path 
+CHROMEDRIVERPATH --profile-path PROFILEPATH [--passwords_path PASSWORDSPATH]
+
+python tests.py google facebook amazon --chrome-path CHROMEPATH 
+--chromedriver-path CHROMEDRIVERPATH --profile-path PROFILEPATH
+[--passwords_path PASSWORDSPATH]
+
+To display the log on the screen, use:

[vabr (Chromium), 2014/05/20 14:47:25]

nit: "the log" -> "debugging messages"
Also below.

[rchtara, 2014/05/22 08:44:38]

Done.

+python tests.py --log DEBUG|INFO|WARNING|ERROR|CRITICAL --log-screen
+To save the log into a file, use:
+python tests.py --log DEBUG|INFO|WARNING|ERROR|CRITICAL --log-file LOG_FILE

This URL is internal, please remove it from the sources.
Instead, you can use http://goo.gl, or just the full URL.
Maybe even better, leave this sentence out completely, it's not hard to google
Python documentation.

[rchtara, 2014/05/22 08:44:38]

Done.

+
+
+=====Creating new test=====
+
+1) Open tests.py.
+
+2) Add these lines :

[vabr (Chromium), 2014/05/20 14:47:25]

That's not completely true -- not exactly the lines below should be added. I
suggest replacing this line with:
2) Add tests like this:

Additionally, I would prefix the body of Login with a comment:
# Add login steps for the website, for example:

Similarly for Logout().

[rchtara, 2014/05/22 08:44:38]

Done.

+
+class NewWebsiteTest(WebsiteTest):
+
+  def Login(self):
+    self.GoTo("http://url")
+    self.FillUsernameInto("Username CSS selector")
+    self.FillPasswordInto("Password CSS selector")
+    self.Submit("Password CSS selector")
+
+  def Logout(self):
+    self.Click("Logout button CSS selector")
+
+environment.AddWebsiteTest(NewWebsiteTest("http://url"))

[vabr (Chromium), 2014/05/20 14:47:25]

Here you write "http://url", but below in tests.py you just write words like
"google". Please update the documentation.

[rchtara, 2014/05/22 08:44:38]

Done.

+
+Then, to create the new test, you need just to add:

[vabr (Chromium), 2014/05/20 14:47:25]

Are these 3 lines obsolete?

[rchtara, 2014/05/22 08:44:38]

Done.

+environment.AddWebsiteTest(
+    NewWebsiteTest("website name", "username", "password"))

[vabr (Chromium), 2014/05/20 14:47:25]

Please note what you mean by "website name". In particular, what is it used for
(is it something the testing person can choose themselves, or does it have to be
derived from the website?).

[rchtara, 2014/05/22 08:44:38]

Done.

+
+* For security reasons, you can use websites.xml which is a  private to keep 
+your passwords. You have to add the following line to the xml file:
+
+<website name = "website name">
+  <username>username</username>
+  <password>password</password>
+</website>
+
+
+
+3) Use the flowing methods to perform the login and logout:

[vabr (Chromium), 2014/05/20 14:47:25]

This is not "step 3", as in: it should not follow step 2. This knowledge is
already needed in step 2. So I suggest dropping "3) ".

[rchtara, 2014/05/22 08:44:38]

Done.

+The methods that you can use are:
+
+* Click: find an element using CSS Selector and click on it. Throw an 
+exception if the element is not visible.
+self.Click("css_selector")
+* ClickIfVisible: find an element using CSS Selector and if it's visible, 
+click on it.
+self.ClickIfVisible("css_selector")
+* GoTo: navigate the main frame to a url.
+self.GoTo("url")
+* HoverOver: find an element using CSS Selector and hover over it.
+self.HoverOver("css_selector")
+* SendEnterTo: find an element using CSS Selector and send enter to it.
+self.SendEnterTo("css_selector")
+
+* IsDisplayed: check if an element is displayed.
+self.IsDisplayed("css_selector")
+* Wait: wait for some amount of time in seconds.
+self.Wait(10)
+* WaitUntilDisplayed: wait for an element defined using CSS Selector to be 
+displayed.
+self.WaitUntilDisplayed("css_selector")
+
+* FillPasswordInto: find an input element using CSS Selector and fill it with
+the password.
+self.FillPasswordInto("css_selector")
+* FillUsernameInto: find an input element using CSS Selector and fill it with
+the username.
+self.FillUsernameInto("css_selector")
+* Submit: find an element using CSS Selector and call its submit() handler.
+self.Submit("css_selector")
+
+
+=====Files structure=====
+
+Classes:
+* environment.py: the definition the tests Environment.
+* websitetest.py: WebsiteTest is defined here. You need to create an instance 
+of this class for each website you want to test.
+
+Tests:
+* tests.py: the tests setup and the configuration for each website happens 
+here. This file contain 3 separate kinds of tests:
+
+1) working tests: tests that are supposed to work. If you have a problem with 
+one of them, rerun it again. Or try using the Known Issues section to fix it.
+2) tests that can cause a crash (the cause of the crash is not related to the
+password manager): This means that this set is expected to become a working 
+test or failing test when the issue that causes the crash now is solved.
+3) failing tests: tests that fail for known bug related to the password 
+manager. When this bug is solved, all the tests that were failing because of 
+it are going to be moved to working tests.
+
+Other files:
+* websites.xml : a private file where you can find all the passwords. You can 
+ask someone to give it to you or just create your own with your personal 
+accounts. 
+<websites>
+  <website name = "website name">
+    <username>username</username>
+    <password>password</password>
+  </website>
+</websites>
+
+
+=====Known Issues=====
+
+The tests are very fragile. Here are some suggestions for solving most of the 
+problems:
+* Restart the tests.
+* Remove the profile if the tests fail at the beginning for unknown reason.
+* If tests fail, isolate the one that causes problem, read the log and keep 
+your eyes on the browser window to understand its causes:
+a) In the tests, we often need to wait for a menu to appear ... If the 
+menu takes more time to appear than expected, the tests are going to fail.
+b) The websites change very often. And even if they are not changed, they some 
+time show a popup that broke the tests. In the case you need to login manually 
+to the website, close all popup and logout.
+* If you are logged in when the tests crashes, don't forget to log out before
+running the tests a second time.
