SpecFlow - Configure Selenium Webdriver

To configure Selenium Webdriver in Visual Studio, we shall take the help of NUnit framework. This framework allows to run Selenium tests in C#.

Configure NUnit Framework

We shall first create a NUnit project.

Once the Visual Studio landing page gets opened, click on Create a new project.

NUnit

Type NUnit in the search box appearing in Create a new project pop-up. Select NUnit Test Project(.NET Core) from the search results. Click on Next.

NUnit Project

Enter project name and location. Then click on Create to proceed.

NUnit Project Name

As the project is set up on NUnit(.Net Core), the Setup and Test methods shall be defined by default. Also, the statement using NUnit.Framework should reflect at the top. This shall prove that NUnit Framework has been successfully configured.

Implementation with Selenium WebDriver in C#

using NUnit.Framework;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using System;
namespace NUnitTestProject1{
   public class Tests{
      String u = "https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm";
      IWebDriver d;
      [SetUp]
      public void Setup(){
         //creating object of FirefoxDriver
         d = new FirefoxDriver();        
      }
      [Test]
      public void Test1(){
         //launching URL
         d.Navigate().GoToUrl(u);
         Console.WriteLine("Url launched");
      }
      [TearDown]
      public void close_Browser(){
         d.Quit();
      }
   }
