Serenity-core: Environment configuration make property webdriver.gecko.driver to be ignored

[franciscoguemes]

I have the following serenity.conf file in the directory src/test/resources:

# The webdriver property can be overwrite in the pom.xml file or in the command line
# Order of precedence:
#   1- @Managed annotation (in code) --> https://serenity-bdd.github.io/theserenitybook/latest/web-testing-in-serenity.html
#   2- @dirver annotation (in feature file) --> https://serenity-bdd.github.io/theserenitybook/latest/web-testing-in-serenity.html
#   3- Command line
#   4- pom.xml file
#   5- serenity.properties
#   6- serenity.conf 
webdriver {
  driver = firefox
}

drivers {
  mac {
    webdriver.chrome.driver = "src/test/resources/webdriver/mac/chromedriver-v76.0.3809.68-mac64"
    webdriver.gecko.driver = "src/test/resources/webdriver/mac/geckodriver-v0.24.0-macos"
  }
  linux {
    webdriver.chrome.driver = "src/test/resources/webdriver/linux/chromedriver-v76.0.3809.68-linux64"
    webdriver.gecko.driver = "src/test/resources/webdriver/linux/geckodriver-v0.24.0-linux64"
  }
}

environments {
    default {
        webdriver.base.url = "http://vmdev02:8083"
    }
    dev {
        webdriver.base.url = "http://localhost:8083"
    }
    ci {
        webdriver.base.url = "http://vmdev02:8083"
    }
}

If I comment/delete the last part of the file (the environments configuration), everything works fine. If I execute my tests as it is now then I get the following stack trace:

As the stack trace says, it is like it is ignoring the values for the property webdriver.gecko.driver which must be set after Serenity interprets the "drivers" section of the configuration.

I also printed the variables and there I can see that the property webdriver.gecko.driver is not defined:

I defined the property webdriver.gecko.driver in the file serenity.properties but still I get the same error. This error only happens by adding the environments configuration.

[wakaleo]

I can't reproduce this. What version are you using?

[franciscoguemes]

I am using the following dependencies:

<dependency>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-core</artifactId>
                <version>2.0.64</version>
                <scope>test</scope>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-cucumber</artifactId>
                <version>1.9.44</version>
                <scope>test</scope>
            </dependency>

[wakaleo]

Try with 2.0.67 and 1.9.45 (https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-core/blob/master/README.md#what-is-the-latest-stable-version-i-should-use) and see if you are getting the same issue.

[franciscoguemes]

I changed the version numbers according to your suggestion:

<dependency>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-core</artifactId>
                <version>2.0.67</version>
                <scope>test</scope>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-cucumber</artifactId>
                <version>1.9.45</version>
                <scope>test</scope>
            </dependency>

I also changed the version number of the serenity-maven-plugin to the 2.0.67 (According to the link you provided):

<plugin>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.0.67</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>serenity-reports</id>
                        <phase>post-integration-test</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>aggregate</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

Now it takes the environment configuration into account (i.e: It uses the right webdriver.base.url) and it runs as expected, BUT ... At the end of the test run it gives the following error that makes the entire thing to fail despite all the test passed:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal net.serenity-bdd.maven.plugins:serenity-maven-plugin:2.0.67:aggregate (serenity-reports) on project dashboard-tests: Execution serenity-reports of goal net.serenity-bdd.maven.plugins:serenity-maven-plugin:2.0.67:aggregate failed: No environment configuration found for environment 'dev' -> [Help 1]

Is very strange because I executed the test using the command line:
mvn clean verify -DskipTests=false -Denvironment=dev

And I can see in the browser that it is taking the right URL instead the default one, so obviously it is finding the environment "dev" and assigning the right value to the property webdriver.base.url

[wakaleo]

Could you run with --error?

[franciscoguemes]

I ran with the -X option this is the stack trace:

As the exception says the problem is in the goal net.serenity-bdd.maven.plugins:serenity-maven-plugin:2.0.67:aggregate , by commenting the goal aggregate in the _pom.xml_ file, the test run smoothly and the error is not generated during the phase execution:

<plugin>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.0.67</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>serenity-reports</id>
                        <phase>post-integration-test</phase>
                        <goals>
<!--                            <goal>aggregate</goal> -->
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

Now the problem is that it does not generate the Serenity report.

IMHO the problem is in the plugin, during the aggregate phase. It looks like somehow it has no access to the environment variables as the other phases/goals.

Could you try with 2.0.68?

[franciscoguemes]

I have tried with 2.0.68 but it seems that the artifact is not ready.

By using the version 2.0.67 of the serenity-maven-plugin and the dependencies:

            <dependency>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-core</artifactId>

            </dependency>
            <dependency>

                <artifactId>serenity-cucumber</artifactId>

                <scope>test</scope>
            </dependency> 

I get the exact same result.

[wakaleo]

You will need to point to Bintray to get these artefacts: https://bintray.com/serenity

[franciscoguemes]

I changed the version numbers to use the following combination:

            <dependency>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-core</artifactId>
<!--                <version>2.0.67</version> -->
                <version>2.0.68</version>
                <scope>test</scope>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-cucumber</artifactId>
<!--                <version>1.9.45</version> -->
                <version>1.9.46</version>
                <scope>test</scope>
            </dependency>

I also pointed out to the repositories to get the latest maven plugin version:

<plugin>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<!--                <version>2.0.67</version> -->
                <version>2.0.68</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>serenity-reports</id>
                        <phase>post-integration-test</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>aggregate</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

But I get the exact same error, the tests runs smoothly, all test pass but then on the aggregate goal it fails:

[wakaleo]

Can you try with 2.0.69?

[nbarrett]

Actually 2.0.70 might be better as it fixed some problems in 2.0.69 related to reading configuration.

[franciscoguemes]

The version 2.0.70 seems to have solved the problem. This is the combination of versions that is working for me:

            <dependency>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-core</artifactId>
                <version>2.0.70</version>
                <scope>test</scope>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-cucumber</artifactId>
                <version>1.9.46</version>
                <scope>test</scope>
            </dependency>

And for the plugin is the 2.0.70:

<plugin>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.0.70</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>serenity-reports</id>
                        <phase>post-integration-test</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>aggregate</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
