clearing / resetting the selenium webdriver between junit tests - junit4

I am using arquillian graphene with selenium webdriver and I have an irritating problem.
The WebDriver seems to retain page state in between each test. I am currently testing a login page and the first test checks for a login failure. This works.
The second test checks for login success. When run on its own, it works fine. However, run together with the one above, it fails. In looking at the page output, it seems that the username field is a combination of the username from the first test and the second test.
For example, the first test sets the username to "non-existent" and the second test sets the username to "test" and this works if I run the tests individually.
If I run them together, the username fields ends up with "non-existenttest"
This suggests that the webdriver does not "reset" / "clear" the page in between tests.
Is there some way to get it to reset it?
I have currently worked around the issue by calling the clear() method on each of the fields #Before test.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Have you tried Reloading the application url in the #Before method ?

Does Katalon support opening webUI and mobile driver in same script

We want to execute a automation test case wherein first operations will happen on WebUI and then it will switch to Mobile execution. The process will be done sequentially. I want to write all script in one testcase itself. First script will execute on Chrome browser then in connected mobile device.I am looking for someone who has achieved this in katalon. I need a solution other than test suite collection.
This can be done by using profiles in katalon :
https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/execution-profile-v54.html
Please also remeber that this is not only profilesbut also enviroment (chrome or mobile). You can use this Execution window as example what eviroment i am talking about.

Sweetalert: e2e testing using Protractor

I am trying to test my web application which uses SweetAlert. I am using Protractor for e2e testing.
When I tried selecting an element using
var textElement = element(by.id("newWbName"));
protractor goes into an infinite loop, saying
W/element - more than one element found for locator By(css selector, *[id="newWbName"]) - the first result will be used
as seen here, even though there is only one id with newWbName.
I am wondering if there is anything in how sweet alert renders the alert that is causing this issue? The selectors work fine when I use them on the rest of the page. Any help is really appreciated.

Get WebdriverIO multi-remote to work with Cucumber BDD

I am able to start multiple browser sessions in a single test using WebDriverIO's multiremote with mocha.
Next I'm trying to get WebDriverIO multiremote work with Cucumber BDD. My feature definition is simply to open a browser session and navigate to a url.
Here's my simple WDIO
Problem - the browser opens up but navigation does not occur. I have tried to enable the debugger and observe node-inspector but hasn't helped. What am I missing? Thanks for all the help.
My goal was to conduct multi-user scenario based testing through BDD. Although I haven't been able to resolve this directly via WebDriverIO I found Chimp (which uses WebDriverIO underneath) has its own flavour of session based automation.
Chimp's multi-browser testing does exactly what I wanted. Problem solved!
I'm able to write scenarios such as this without explicitly switching the user context.
Scenario: Able to browse independently
Given Alice goes to "/features"
And Bob go to "/bugs"
Then Alice sees "10" features
And Bob sees "1" bugs

unable to locate element with Watir webdriver, Firefox, PayPal sandbox pay with PayPal

I am getting the error
Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException: unable to locate element, using
{:id=>"submitLogin", :tag_name=>"input"}
from /Users/ktobo/.rbenv/versions/2.2.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/
gems/watir-webdriver-0.9.1/lib/watir-webdriver/elements/element.rb:536:in
`assert_element_found'
when running an Rspec test using Watir webdriver with Firefox.
# select "Pay with my PayPal account"
#browser.span(:class, 'buttonAsLink').when_present.click
#browser.text_field(:id, 'login_email').when_present(15).set(hsh[:email])
#browser.text_field(:id, 'login_password').when_present(15).set(hsh[:password])
#browser.input(:id, 'submitLogin').when_present.when_enabled.click
#browser.input(:id, 'continue').when_present.click
If I execute these steps one-by-one in a console, everything's great. When running the test with run.rb, the first click action seems to fail to select the "Pay with my PayPal account" span. I'm not sure why it doesn't fail on that step. If I manually click that link after the failure, I see that the password field is not populated, so something seems to be going awry before the fourth line.
Even with the when_present calls, this is most likely a race condition if it works step by step in irb, but not when run together directly. When debugging it is often useful to put a (long-ish) sleep before the problem step just to see if you are hitting a race condition. If the sleep fixes it, then you know what the problem is and just need to figure out the right thing to wait for before clicking.
Another possibility is that this could be an issue where the browser being in the "active window" in the operating system matters. (Commands should work the same way, regardless, but this isn't always the case).
Additionally, running the test with Chrome to see if you have the same issues is also helpful in troubleshooting.
If none of this works, please update your question with an url or the html you are interacting with.
On a side note, I'm surprised that nesting when_present & when_enabled works. when enabled probably should include present? as a precondition, I'll look into doing that.

Using Turbolinks with Selenium IDE

When I run my selenium test without the turbolinks gem installed in my Ruby on Rails app, the tests pass. When I include turbolinks, the tests fail. For example if the test starts off
Open /
clickAndWait link=Sign in
type id=session_email any#example.com
Then I will get an error
"[error]Element id=session_email not found.
When I look at the page source, the session_email id is still there with turbolinks installed. I found this page, http://www.digitalkingdom.org/rlp/tiki-index.php?page=Selenium+And+Javascript, which seems to indicate there could be a problem with detecting the page has fully loaded.
Is there away to fix this without changing hundreds of lines in my test suites? If not, is there a reliable selenium method that can test that a turbolinked page has fully loaded?
After some help with the github turbolinks-compatability project, I am able to provide a partial answer to this question.
If the turbolinks gem is being used, then you will need to modify your selenium test cases in order to make sure the page is really loaded. For example, if your test has the following code in it
Open /
clickAndWait link=Sign in
type id=session_email any#example.com
then it needs to be modified to
Open /
click link=Sign in
waitForElementPresent id=session_email
type id=session_email any#example.com
There are a number of "waitFor" modifiers you can used, depending on what is the feature on the page you want to test next.
However, if the test involves a javascript pop up, then you should not add a waitFor command. So for example if you have at test like
clickAndWait link=Delete
assertConfirmation Are you Sure?
you should not modify the code. Indeed adding a waitFor test hangs execution in the case of javascript popups.
This solution involves line-by-line manual modification of the code. I have opened up an issue on the Selenium Users group to see if there is some better way to handle this problem.
