Featured ~ rvirendra ~ Leave a comment

Step 1: Open JMeter -> Add Thread Group to the Test Plan -> Add Http request sampler

Step 2: Select HTTP Request sampler and change the name if you wish to.

Step 3: In the Basic tab Enter following information:

Protocol – http/https

Server Name or IP – Enter server name/IP to generate the token. e.g abc.amazoncognito.com

HTTP Request – POST

Path: Enter the query parameter to generate the token. eg. oauth2/token

Step 4: In the parameter tab enter the following information:

Name: grant_type Value: client_credentials

Name: client_id Value: Enter client ID

Name: client_secret Value: Enter client secret

Step 5: Add Post Processor JSON Extractor in the Thread group.

Step 6: Enter following information:

Names of created variables: accessToken

JSON Path expression: access_token

Step 7: Add BeanShell Assertion in the thread group and add following code in the script section.

${__setProperty(bearerTokenforanotherThread, ${accessToken})};

Step 8: Add another thread group to add request which will be using the token generated in above steps.

Step 9: Add BeanShell PreProcessor in the Thread to store the token value and add following code in script section of BeanShell PreProcessor

String bearerToken = ${__property(bearerTokenforanotherThread)}.

Step 10: Add HttpRequest in the thread group and enter following information.

Protocol: http/https

Server Name or IP: Name or IP of API server

HTTP Request: GET/POST/PUT/DELETE

Path: URI Path of the request

Step 11: Select http request -> right click ->Add->config element->HTTP Header Manager
Step 12: Add following code in http header manager:
Name: Authorization
Value: Bearer ${__property(bearerTokenforanotherThread)

Step 13: Run the plan. Token should be generated and pass to the subsequent request in next thread group.

~ rvirendra ~ Leave a comment

Below program i have written to add top two max number of an Array:

package com.company;

public class ArrayDemo {


    public int addAge(int [] age){

        int largest = age[0];
        int secondlargest = age[0];

        for (int i=1;i<age.length;i++){

            if ( age[i] > largest ){
                secondlargest = largest;
                largest = age[i];
            }
            if (age[i] < largest  && age[i] > secondlargest){
                secondlargest = age[i];
            }

        }


        System.out.println("largest number is = " +largest);

        System.out.println("Second largest number is = " +secondlargest);
        int total = largest + secondlargest;
        return total;
    }


    public static void main (String[] args){

        int [] age = {12,88,13,4,15,25,5,49,87};

        ArrayDemo arrayAddition = new ArrayDemo();

        int total = arrayAddition.addAge(age);

        System.out.println(total);


    }
}

Selenium – For loop to navigate to the web element list and verify list item.

~ rvirendra ~ Leave a comment 
Step 1: Store item of the list in a List using findElements

List<WebElement> searchResultlist = Driver.driver.findElements(By.xpath("//span[@class='document-name']"));

Step 2: Use for loop to traverse in the list and verify the text using IF condition.
To make sure input by the user and text from the application are in same case, convert both the strings in UPPER case and match.

for (WebElement resultList : searchResultlist){
     System.out.println(resultList.getText());
     if (resultList.getText().toUpperCase().contains(DocumentNumber.toUpperCase())){
         resultList.click();
         break;
    }
}

How to set JAVA Path in Linux machine

~ rvirendra ~ Leave a comment

Run below command to install JAVA 

yum install java-1.8*

Once the installation is completed, run below command to check JAVA Version.

java -version

Above command should give you the following result.

openjdk version "1.8.0_232"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_232-b09)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.232-b09, mixed mode)

Run below command to find the JAVA path.

find /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8* | head -n 3

Above command should give you the following results.

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-0.el7_7.x86_64

Use last path from above result to update the bash profile.

To update the bash profile run below command.

vi .bash_profile

Update bash_profile as below.

JAVA_HOME = /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-0.el7_7.x86_64
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin

Save and Exit the bash_profile.

Refresh the bash profile using the below command.

source ~/.bash_profile

After refresh, run the following command to verify the JAVA path.

echo $JAVA_HOME

Output of the above command should be:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-0.el7_7.x86_64

How to solve login fail issue in JMETER Script

After recording the script in JMETER, if we run the script without making any changes, login fails.

To solve this problem, please follow below steps.

After recording, select login page to see the http request.

In http request, under parameter table, nonce appears at the top of the table with some random values as shown in image below.

Delete “nonce” from the table and run the script again.

Login successful !!

Lambda expression in Selenium

How to use JAVA Lambda expression to select the value from drop down in selenium.

Let say you have a list and want to select a value from it.

<ul class = 'list'> 
 <li data-value="value1" class="option selection focus">Value1</li>
 <li data-value="value2" class="option selection focus">Value2</li> 
  <li data-value="value3" class="option selection focus">Value3</li> 
 <li data-value="value4" class="option selection focus">Value4</li>

Below code can select the value from drop down as per the parameter passed in the method  

Public void selectValueFromDropDown(String SearchValue)
WebElement element = Driver.driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[@class='list']//li")).stream().
 filter(e-> e.getText().equalsIgnoreCase(SearchValue)).findFirst().get();
         element.click();

CloudFormation template for EC2 and Security Group creation

Below template can be used to create EC2 instance and associate Security Group with the EC2 instance which enables SSH. 

AWSTemplateFormatVersion : 2010-09-09
  Description: Template to create an EC2 instance and enable SSH access to the instance
  Parameters: 
     KeyName: 
       Description: Name of an existing EC2 KeyPair to enable SSH access to the instance
       Type: 'AWS::EC2::KeyPair::KeyName'
       ConstraintDescription: Provide the name of an existing SSH key pair Resources: 
     MyEC2Instance:

Docker certificate signed error

~ rvirendra ~ Leave a comment

$ docker ps

error during connect: Get https://192.168.99.100:2376/v1.37/containers/json: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

Above error appears a lot in docker if any changes made in the settings. Or sometimes if system is restarted.

How to resolve this error?

I executed below steps to solve this error:

Go to your docker toolbox folder and run the below command.

@S500719W10N MINGW64 /c/Program Files/Docker Toolbox

$ docker-machine regenerate-certs default

Regenerate TLS machine certs?  Warning: this is irreversible. (y/n): y

Regenerating TLS certificates

Regenerating local certificates

…..

After running the above command problem should be resolved. In case if problem still not resolved, then follow the below steps:

Use SSH to login to virtual machine:

$ docker-machine ssh default
docker@default:~$ sudo vi /var/lib/boot2docker/profile
Add a NO_PROXY setting
# replace with your oproxy environment settings
export “HTTP_PROXY=http://PROXY:PORT”
export “HTTPS_PROXY=http://PROXY:PORT”
# you can add more no_proxy with your environment.
export “NO_PROXY=192.168.99.,.local,169.254/16,.example.com,192.168.59.“

Restart docker
docker@default:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/docker restart
docker@default:~$ exit

$ docker-machine regenerate-certs default
