从数据库中获取值，并将该值用作Selenium Webdriver中的输入字段

Question

I am doing automation testing at my work and i'm stuck in a scenario.

My first test consist of creating a new user account which creates a username and a password. PS My password is always the same

My second test is basically login as a user with the username and password that I created in the first test.

Also, as the account is created, the database gets updated, and i'm able to connect to the database and execute the query (select user_name from accounts where password = 'pass123' order by created_dttm desc;)

So, since i'm able to execute and get the value from the db, how can I fetch that value and insert it into my username field in order to login as a customer.

Because i'm stuck in this situation, I always have to edit my 2nd test case with a different username that is created in my first tc. I would like my test script to take the username from the db and insert it into the username field automatically.

I'm kinda new to Java and automation, therefore, any kind of help will be highly appreciated. Thanks a ton!

You need to just pass the username value read from database to the sendKeys function of Webdriver. For example, if you have stored the username value from database in String variable user and if you are using id property to recognize the username field, then you can enter that value in username field using following:

driver.findElement(By.id("u")).sendKeys(user);

In the above code, u is the id of username field. You can move your database access code to separate method as shown below:

public static String getUsernameFromDB() throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {
    //Accessing driver from the JAR file 
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
    System.out.println("Oracle JDBC driver loaded ok.");

    Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@151.120.92.150:1602:pppst1","ppp_app","ppp_app_pppst1");
    System.out.println("DB Connected Successfuly");

    Statement stmt = con.createStatement();

    ResultSet result = stmt.executeQuery("select user_name from accounts where password = 'pass123' order by created_dttm desc;");

    String account = null;
    while(result.next()){
        account = result.getString("USER_NAME");

        System.out.println("BAID: " + account);

        }
    con.close();
    return account;
}

Your test case code will become:

String username = getUsernameFromDB();
driver.findElement(By.id("u")).sendKeys(username);
