How do i set desired capabilities externally source (without hard coding); - frameworks

Question

public void setUp() throws MalformedURLException,InterruptedException
{
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("newCommandTimeout", 100000);
capabilities.setCapability("BROWSER_NAME", "Android");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "8.1.0");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "a1cc6f96");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
}

Answer 1

Create the config.properties file in the project. Add following data in the config.properties file
newCommandTimeout = 100000
browserName = chrome
platformVersion = 8.1.0
deviceName = a1cc6f96
platformName = Android
Then add the method that will return the property value
public class LoadProperty {
Properties prop = new Properties();
InputStream input = null;
public String getProperty (String propertyName){
try {
input = new FileInputStream("path/to/config file/config.properties");
prop.load(input);
return prop.getProperty(propertyName);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
}
After that you can use the property like following
LoadProperty prop =new LoadProperty();
String newCommandTimeout = prop.getProperty("newCommandTimeout");
String browserName = prop.getProperty("browserName");
String platformVersion = prop.getProperty("platformVersion");
String deviceName = prop.getProperty("deviceName");
String platformName = prop.getProperty("platformName");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("newCommandTimeout", newCommandTimeout);
capabilities.setCapability("BROWSER_NAME", browserName);
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", platformVersion);
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", deviceName);
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", platformName);
