[WIP] Add several improvements to booking

drtechie commented 10 months ago

Cypress

Use dayjs to reliably convert dates. The earlier code gave Tue, 18 Oct which wasn't right. Moved the formatDate function to a common util.
Fix the selection of TATKAL. nth-child(5) selected DUTY PASS instead of TATKAL. Changes to nth-child(6)
Quickly typing username and password sometimes resulted in characters missing. Changed some of the cy.type to input val change. This ensures the text field value is changed in one shot (saving more time).
JavaScript exceptions in console of IRCTC resulted in Cypress failures. Added a block to ignore them.
Made the passenger details entry selectors more specific. Added Food choice (relevant for trains like Rajadhani).
Fail the execution if all seats got booked.

CAPTCHA server

Added relevant dependencies to requirements.txt
Turned off the warnings since it was getting returned to Cypress.
Removed all spaces in the CAPTCHA text that is returned.

Misc

Updated readme.
Fixed typos in functions and comments.
Removed unnecessary/unused/generated files from checking out to repo.

Thanks A Lot Man, for the improvements and Typos 😁 By the way did you tried how fast is the Booking Time...? Your Experience.... I will merge this once i am back home in a few hours.....

@shivamguys I haven't booked a real ticket yet. I reached the payment QR code.

At 10 AM and 11 AM, the servers behave very erratically. The entry and selection is definitely faster than a human being. I would say 80% of the time, the automation works fine.

Sometimes the source station selection results are slow, the script gets stuck. CAPTCHA entries are a hit or miss sometimes. Google misses some obvious ones.

I realized I had to handle the FOOD scenario better. Some trains don't have it and some do.

Please don't merge this now. Marking the PR as WIP.

yes, Irctc servers are way too messy during Tatkal times. I was thinking of scheduling the script daily at 10 and 11 to get better data and everything would be recorded in Cypress dashboards....

@shivamguys do check the PR. I have added a condition to handle food scenario.

Scheduling script is a nice idea. It will be better to pass the script at the payment selection page if it's running under Cypress dashboard environment.

Have merged it. Would be scheduling it standalone...
