How to create scheduler to run my script every night at 12.00- Selenium WebDriver

Question

• Currently working on Selenium WebDriver and using Java. I have a project called*Test*.
• In that Project i have many Java Programs such as Login.java, Testing1.java etc.,.
• The scenario is i want to run all my scripts daily morning at 12.00 a.m. Is there any possibility to create a scheduler to run my scripts automatically.

Answer 1

Create an testng.xml file say name as testsuite.xml.

Now follow below 2 steps:

Step 1: Create an batch file for scheduler:

use below code - modify it and paste in notepad. save the notepad in working directory as"run.bat"

set ProjectPath=C:\Selenium\Selenium_tests\DemoProject 
echo %ProjectPath%
set classpath=%ProjectPath%\bin;%ProjectPath%\Lib\*
echo %classpath%
java org.testng.TestNG %ProjectPath%\testsuite.xml

• a) First line is for setting project path .

• b) second line is for verifying that path is set or not.

• c) third line is for setting classpath - lib folder contain all the jar file added to project build path

• d) fourth line is for verifying whether classpath is set or not

• e) fifth line is for executing xml file having details of all test.

Step 2:

• Go to control panel.

• Administrative tool.

• Task scheduler and create a task which will trigger run.bat file at the time you want.

It will work.

I am currently working on a similar project where I have to check different web applications for their availability every ~5 minutes and report any errors via mail. I am also using TestNG ans the WebDriver together. I solved my "scheduling problem" by using the TimerTask class.

Here's a short code example: (Find more code examples here)

import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;

public class KeepMeAwake {

 *
 * @param args
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {

    TimerTask action = new TimerTask() {
        public void run() {
            Beep b = Beep.getInstance();
            b.beep();
        }
    };

    Timer caretaker = new Timer();
    caretaker.schedule(action, 1000, 5000);
    }
}

Since it implements Runnable, you can run multiple threads with it.

Hope that helps. If you have questions how to integrate it with your TestNG set up, just shoot.

Answer 4

Follow the above steps and in windows scheduler do the steps :

Creating .bat file steps

Task Scheduler in Windows > Create new Task>

'Action' settings - "Start in (Optional)" option.

Go the task properties --> Action tab --> Edit --> Fill up as below:

1. Action: Start a program
2. Program/script: path to your batch script e.g. C:\Users\beruk\bodo.bat
3. Add arguments (optional): <if necessary - depending on your script>
4. Start in (optional): Put the full path to your batch script location e.g. C:\Users\beruk\(Do not put quotes around Start In)

Then Click OK

It works for me. Good Luck!
