[Feature]: JUnit: Allow the user to control the Browser object's lifecycle

🚀 Feature Request

Add an option that will reset the Browser object after each test so cloud services that use BrowserType.connect can work properly. Example: https://www.browserstack.com/docs/automate/playwright/playwright-capabilities#Java

Example

public class Options {
  // existing options

  public Boolean closeBrowserAfterEachTest;

  public Options setCloseBrowserAfterEachTest(Boolean closeBrowser) {
    this.closeBrowserAfterEachTest = closeBrowser;
    return this;
  }

}

Inside of the existing TestWatcher methods, we can check if the user wants to close the browser after each test and do so. Once the next test starts, the Browser will be re-created by the fixture using the existing options. This will allow a new test session to start in BrowserStack.

  @Override
  public void testSuccessful(ExtensionContext extensionContext) {
    saveTraceWhenOn(extensionContext);
    closeBrowserContext();
    Options options = OptionsExtension.getOptions(extensionContext); 
    if(options.closeBrowserAfterEachTest) {
      BrowserExtension.closeBrowser();
    }
  }

Motivation

Cloud testing services like BrowserStack launch new sessions using BrowserType.connect. Each call to connect starts a new test session.

This doesn't work properly with current JUnit fixtures because the Browser object is re-used per thread and so all tests that run on the same thread use the same test session in BrowserStack. This becomes one giant test according to BrowserStack.

My suggestion would allow the user to decide when to re-use the browser, which works great locally, but not so well when using cloud testing services.

Commencez par suivre les Options de l’extension JUnit, les méthodes TestWatcher existantes, BrowserExtension.closeBrowser() et le fixture qui recrée le Browser. Confirmez comment l’option est lue et comment la réutilisation du navigateur fonctionne actuellement. Le travail est considéré comme terminé lorsqu’un paramètre opt-in ferme le Browser après chaque test et que le test suivant crée une nouvelle session avec les options existantes.
