How to add IE custom keyword in my test case

Hello,

I’ve created a custom keyword for IE as below, but I’m getting the below error message, when I execute the test case in IE.

@Keyword

def static ie(def desiredCapabilities) {

DesiredCapabilities dc

WebUIDriverType executedBrowser = DriverFactory.getExecutedBrowser()

switch (executedBrowser) {

case WebUIDriverType.IE_DRIVER:

System.setProperty(“webdriver.ie.driver”, DriverFactory.getIEDriverPath())

for (item in desiredCapabilities) {

logger.logInfo(“Add " + item + " to IE”)

dc.setCapability(item.key, item.value)

}

dc.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS,true)

dc.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.IGNORE_ZOOM_SETTING, true)

dc.setCapability(“ignoreProtectedModeSettings”, true)

WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(dc)

//Change current browser’s driver using new desired capabilities

DriverFactory.changeWebDriver(driver)

break

}

}

TEST CASE:

CustomKeywords.‘com.example.WebUICustomKeywords.ie’(null)

WebUI.navigateToUrl(GlobalVariable.G_SiteURL)

LOGS:

Test Cases/Common Test Cases/Login_Page_Open_Browser FAILED because (of) java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method setCapability() on null object

com.example.WebUICustomKeywords.ie:112

com.example.WebUICustomKeywords.invokeMethod:0

Test Cases/Common Test Cases/Login_Page_Open_Browser.run:27

Could you please some one help me in order to execute my custom keyword in my test with above configurations?

I found the above code in internet but I do not understand exactly what will be the object and how I can use this keyword in my test cases.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

The line 60 is definitely buggy.

        DesiredCapabilities dc

The dc variable is left null. This is the reason why you got the log message:

Test Cases/Common Test Cases/Login_Page_Open_Browser FAILED because (of) java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method setCapability() on null object

Where should be declared this variable ? Is it in keyword class ? Or in test case ? Can you please give me some idea because im very new in programming.

I managed to resolve the problem. Added below line in custom keyword:

dc = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer()

Then, added the below line in the test case:

CustomKeywords.‘com.example.WebUICustomKeywords.ie’(‘’)

Thanks
