Read config.properties file

 

Read config.properties file :

 

Create Config.properties:

 

Steps to Create config.properties File:

1. Right-click on your project/package.
2. Select New > File.
3. Enter the file name with the extension .properties (e.g., config2.properties).
4. Click the Finish button.
5. This will create a properties file in your project/package.

 

in Config. properties file contains the below info

 

browser,

username,

password,

QA1Env,

QA2Env ,

PreprodEnv,

ProdEnv

RunEnvironment

....

..... etc

-------------------

 

Define Data in config.properties:

---------------------------------

# Define browser,username,password,QA1Env,QA2Env, Dev ,PreprodEnv,ProdEnv

#   In config . properties file, comment should start with # symbol

#  or press  ctrl + /

browser = chrome

username =  admin

password = Admin123

 

 

QA1Env = https://opensource-demoQA1.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login

QA2Env = https://opensource-demoQA2.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login

DevEnv = https://opensource-demoDev.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login

PreprodEnv = https://opensource-demoPreProd.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login

ProdEnv = https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login

 

# comment RunEnvironment contains QA1, QA2, Dev or PreprodEnv,ProdEnv

RunEnvironment = QA1

FAQ How to read data from Properties file ?

 

FAQ where do you define the test data in your Project ?

 

We can define test data in config.properties also

Define all locator name and locator values in Properties file :

 

Create OR.properties file :

 

firstnameTxtbox=firstname_name

lastNameTxtbox =lastname_name

maleRadioBtn =//input[@id='maleid']_xpath

femaleRadioBtn =//input[@id='femaleid']_xpath
