Running TeamMentor WebAutomation UnitTests locally (using Selenium and ChromeDriver)

If you want to run the TeamMentor's WebAutomation UnitTests (for example to see how we use Selenium and the multiple WebDrivers, like ChromeDriver), there are couple gotchas that you will need to take into account.

This post shows how I went from a git clone to a full execution of all unit tests.

It all starts with a clone of the https://github.com/TeamMentor/UnitTests_WebAutomation repository



Once the clone completed, I opened the TeamMentor.WebAutomation.sln solution file in VisualStudio 2010



Chose to run all UnitTests , and:



.. the reason that all tests failed, was because I didn’t have the expected folder in my dev box:



Since I was was looking at the code, I might as well fix this and remove this hard-coded dependency from this test.

To do that, I refactored that string into the Settings.Settings file:
