^{Originally posted by **harimadusumilli** November 8, 2021} Running Parallel Tests in Gauge using Selenium seems to execute in series although browser launches in parallel. environment : Windows 10 & Ubuntu Linux container too. Gauge version: 1.1.8 Commit Hash: b1501f4 Plugins ------- dotnet (0.4.1) html-report (4.0.12) js (2.3.15) json-report (0.3.5) screenshot (0.0.1) xml-report (0.2.3) In the default. properties file we have also added the following entry: enable_multithreading = true Three spec files We are running three spec files which contain the same navigation steps. and are running them as below: gauge run specs -p -n=4 --verbose We are using static webdriver instance, this appears to conflict and creates in consistency while running it. The behavior appears to be erratic, for e.g:, we notice that the data is input incorrectly to a test case as the web driver appears to be key in the test data into only the browser it has a handle instead of their respective browser instances. Code is as below: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using FluentAssertions; using Gauge.CSharp.Lib; using Gauge.CSharp.Lib.Attribute; using OpenQA.Selenium; using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome; using System.Threading; namespace DefaultProj { public class StepImplementation { //This is the static webdriver private static IWebDriver seleniumDriver; public void initWebDriver(){ seleniumDriver = new ChromeDriver(Environment.CurrentDirectory + "/Selenium Drivers"); ((IJavaScriptExecutor)seleniumDriver).ExecuteScript("window.focus();"); seleniumDriver.Manage().Window.Maximize(); } public void LaunchApp(){ seleniumDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://our_intranet_app.net/"); } [Step("search with name ")] public void SearchWithName(string name) { try{ this.initWebDriver(); this.LaunchApp(); seleniumDriver.FindElement(By.Id("search-inside-textbox")).SendKeys(name); seleniumDriver.FindElement(By.XPath("//span[@class='icon icon-search']")).Click(); GaugeMessages.WriteMessage("Name search"); GaugeScreenshots.Capture(); seleniumDriver.Close(); } catch(Exception e){ Console.WriteLine(e.Message); seleniumDriver.Close(); } } } }
