Steps C# Edge driver and Selenium Test Project

Create NUnit or MSTest project

In project manager, install pacakge: Microsoft.Edge.SeleniumTools

Package will install:

• Microsoft.Edge.SeleniumTools
• Selenium.WebDriver
• Selenium.Support
• DotNetSeleniumExtras.PageObjects.Core 

**PageObjects were marked obsolete - instead of  OpenQA.Selenium.Support.PageObjects use SeleniumExtras.PageObjects namespace. 

Navigate to: WebDriver - Microsoft Edge Developer

Download latest Microsoft Edge Driver.

Open downloaded Microsoft Edge Driver zip file and save msedgedriver.exe to a local drive.

Must change driver's name from msedgedriver.exe to MicrosoftWebDriver.exe. 

**Changing name is a must or an error message:

 OpenQA.Selenium.DriverServiceNotFoundException : The file C:\Selenium\EdgeDriver\msedgedriver.exe does not exist. The driver can be downloaded at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/

Reference EdgeDriver within Test fixture.

        [Test]
        public void Test1()
        {

            //Open Browser
            IWebDriver webDriver = new EdgeDriver(@"C:\Selenium\EdgeDriver");
            //Navigate to site
            webDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://yoopergreens.com");

            //Assert.Pass();
        }

TypeScript Recursion Code Snippet

Reusable TypeScript / JavaScript Recursion Method

Toggling opening and closing UI block level elements. Handles n - level.

Targeting a button, toggles open showing its children elements.

Targeting another button, will hide all shown children elements.

Hooking up UI

$(".toggleSeeds").click((function () {
    var state = {},
        currentId = null;

    return function () {
        var id: number = GetId(this.id);

        ResetStates(this);

        state[id] = typeof state[id] != "undefined" ? state[id] : {
            collapsed: true,
            toggleSeeds: $("#toggleSeeds_" + id + "> img")[0],
            supplierSeeds: $("#supplierSeeds_" + id)
        };

        if (state[id].collapsed) {

            state[id].supplierSeeds.show();
            state[id].toggleSeeds.src = "/images/SVG/arrowhead-Down.svg";

            if (currentId && currentId != id) {
                state[currentId].supplierSeeds.hide();
                state[currentId].collapsed = true;
                state[currentId].toggleSeeds.src = "/images/SVG/arrowhead-Right.svg";
            }
            currentId = id;
        } else {
            state[id].supplierSeeds.hide();
            state[id].toggleSeeds.src = "/images/SVG/arrowhead-Right.svg";
            currentId = null;
        }

        state[id].collapsed = !state[id].collapsed;
    }
}()));
  

Tracking states

var ResetStates: (element: HTMLElement) => void = (function () {  
  var buttonState: HTMLElement[] = [];  
  return (element: HTMLElement) => {  
   var state: HTMLElement,  
    parent: HTMLElement,  
    stateLevels: RegExpMatchArray,  
    targetLevels: RegExpMatchArray,  
    sameLevel: boolean,  
    sameParent: boolean,  
    isChild: boolean,  
    switchedLevels: boolean;  
   if (buttonState.length == 0) {  
    buttonState.push(element);  
    return;  
   }  
   state = buttonState[buttonState.length - 1] ?? element;  
   parent = buttonState[0] ?? element;  
   stateLevels = state.id.match(/[0-9]+/g);  
   targetLevels = element.id.match(/[0-9]+/g);  
   sameParent = stateLevels[0] == targetLevels[0];  
   sameLevel = stateLevels.length == targetLevels.length;  
   isChild = (targetLevels.length > stateLevels.length) && sameParent;  
   switchedLevels = (parent.id != element.id) && !sameParent;  
   if (state.id != element.id) {  
    if (sameLevel) {  
     buttonState[buttonState.length - 1] = null;  
     state.click();  
     buttonState.push(element);  
    } else if (isChild) {  
     buttonState.push(element);  
    } else if (switchedLevels || sameParent) {  
     while (buttonState.length > 0) {  
      state = buttonState[buttonState.length - 1];  
      if (state != null) {  
       buttonState[buttonState.length - 1] = null;  
       state.click();  
      }  
     }  
     buttonState.push(element);  
    }  
   } else {  
    buttonState.pop();  
   }  
  }  
 }());

Entityframework 6.2 Model Confuguration / Seed Initializer

Install package

• Install-Package EntityFramework

Create Model Class

    public class Seed
    {
        public Guid SeedId { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public string Link { get; set; }
        public Germination Germination { get; set; }
        public string Supplier { get; set; }
        public int Count { get; set; }
        public decimal Price { get; set; }

        public ICollection<Order> Orders { get; set; }
    }

    public class Order
    {
        public Guid OrderId { get; set; }
        public decimal Shipping { get; set; }
        public decimal Tax { get; set; }
        public Seed Seed { get; set; }

    }
Create DbContext Class

    public interface IYooperGreensDbContext
    {
        DbSet<Seed> Seeds { get; set; }
        DbSet<Order> Orders { get; set; }

    }

    public class YooperGreensDbContext : DbContext, IYooperGreensDbContext
    {
        public YooperGreensDbContext()
            :base("yoopergreens")
        {
        }

        protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        {
            base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);

            ModelConfiguration configuration = new ModelConfiguration();

            modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(configuration.Seed);
            modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(configuration.Order);

        }
        public DbSet<Seed> Seeds { get; set; }
        public DbSet<Order> Orders { get; set; }
    }

Create Configuration Classes for each model class

    public class OrderConfiguration: EntityTypeConfiguration<Order>
    {
        public OrderConfiguration()
        {
            HasKey(o => o.OrderId);
            HasRequired(o => o.Seed).WithMany(o => o.Orders);
        }
    }

    public class SeedConfiguration : EntityTypeConfiguration<Seed>
    {
        public SeedConfiguration()
        {
            HasKey(s => s.SeedId);
        }
    }

Create Centralized Configuration file

     public class ModelConfiguration
    {
        public SeedConfiguration Seed { get { return new SeedConfiguration(); } }
        public OrderConfiguration Order { get { return new OrderConfiguration(); } }
    }

Create a custom DB initializer to seed data into database:

• CreateDatabaseIfNotExists
• DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges
• DropCreateDatabaseAlways

    public class YooperGreensDbInitializer : DropCreateDatabaseAlways<YooperGreensDbContext>
    {
        public YooperGreensDbInitializer()
        {
        }

        protected override void Seed(YooperGreensDbContext context)
        {

            IList<Seed> seeds = new List<Seed>
            {
                new Seed {}
            };

            context.Seeds.AddRange(seeds);

            base.Seed(context);
        }
    }

Set this DB initializer class in context class's constructor

        public YooperGreensDbContext()

            :base("yoopergreens")

        {

            Database.SetInitializer(new YooperGreensDbInitializer());

            Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false;

        }

Self Referencing Loop Detected - Entity Framework

Error received:
self referencing loop detected for propert with type System.data.entity.dynamic.proxiesOccurs when trying to serialize the EF object collection directly.Some ways correcting:

Add to the db context constructor:

Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false;

Or (better way),

HttpConfiguration config = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration;

config.Formatters.JsonFormatter
            .SerializerSettings
            .ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore

Other ways of correcting found at Stackoverflow

Ninject IOC - ASP.NET WEB API

Nuget packages:

• Ninject.Web.WebApi
• Ninject.Web.WebApi.WebHost
• Ninject.MVC5

<package id="Ninject" version="3.2.0.0" targetFramework="net461" />


<package id="Ninject.MVC5" version="3.2.1.0" targetFramework="net461" />


<package id="Ninject.Web.Common" version="3.2.0.0" targetFramework="net461" />


<package id="Ninject.Web.Common.WebHost" version="3.2.0.0" targetFramework="net461" />


<package id="Ninject.Web.WebApi" version="3.2.4.0" targetFramework="net461" />


<package id="Ninject.Web.WebApi.WebHost" version="3.2.4.0" targetFramework="net461" />



NinjectWebCommon CreateKernal method

private static void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel)
{
     kernel.Bind<dbcontext>().ToSelf().InRequestScope();
     kernel.Bind<myclass>().To<myclass>();
}

Could not get property injection to work with Web API, so resorted using for property injection:

private myProperty = DependencyResolver.Current.GetService<myclass>();
public myProperty2 = DependencyResolver.Current.GetService<myclass2>();

DependencyResolver is in the namespace: System.Web.MVC. This is based on the current IOC container, so swapping out IOC containers would not break code.
