PERL: Simple Log file(s) Generation and and colored output on CMD

 How to create simple log file that contain Timestamp, Filepath, line number and user message.  i.e.

2012-03-22 16:06:30 C:/Automation/lib/Utils.pl : 1569  -- Command Line options are : XYZ

How do we print message on CMD in different color based on message type? 

What is message Type:
  • Warning message
  • Fatal Error
  • Debug information
  • General error
  • Test case pass
  • Test case failed
  • Test case review
 Perl Code: 

  use strict;
  use warnings;
  use Cwd;
  use vars qw($VERSION);
  $VERSION = '0.01';

  use Color::Output;      

  Color::Output::Init;

  my %msgColors = (
    "debug"   => 14,   # Cyan
    "info"    => 15,   # "white",
    "warn"    => 13,   # yellow
    "error"   => 4,    #"red",
    "fatal"   => 5,    # bold red  
    "Pass"    => 6,    # Green                                                
    "Fail"    => 4,    # Red
    "Review"  => 13
  );
my $info_log = "./Info_log.txt";

sub Info_Log()   
{
        my ($message,$message_type) = @_;

        #caller() stores the complete trace of callers when we call a function in a .pl file from another .pl file
        #both the file names are stored
        my ($package, $filename, $line, $subr, $has_args, $wantarray )= caller();
        #Copy the contents of the return value of caller() method

        ### Get system cureent time

        my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst)=localtime(time);
        my $tm = sprintf "%5d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d",$year+1900,$mon+1,$mday,$hour,$min,$sec;
        if($message ne ' ')
        {
          #Create a message to show...          
          my $message_string = sprintf("%-10s %-30s : %-5d",$tm,$filename,$line);        
          $message = $message_string." -- ".$message;
          cprint("\x03".$msgColors{$message_type}."$message\x030\n");
          #Define a name of the file for logging
          #Create instance of the FileOutputter Class

          open IFH, ">>$info_log" or die "Info log file  *$info_log* : can not be opened. : $!";
          print IFH "$message\n";
          close IFH;
       }
}

How to call Info_log function.
Info_Log("Can not create process ","fatal");
Info_Log("This is warning message","warn");
Info_Log("This is Error message","error");
Info_Log("Test case failed","fail");
Info_Log("Test case pass","pass");
Info_Log("Normal statement","info");
Info_Log("Debug statement","debug");


 Colored Output:

Above all statements are also written in info_log.txt file in current directory.

Selenium: File download handling.

Image
 When we download any file from internet, browser opens new pop-up windows and prompt user for action. Action could be open, save or save as.  Pop-up windows ( GUI ) could be different based on browser. When you are automating file download dialog box (or action), you should keep following points in mind. -           Browser -           Pop-up windows  title -           Pop-up GUI -           Available buttons on GUI -           File Type (Binary file, zip file, MS file etc..) -           Extra settings See how IE and FF pop-ups ... If you have any doubt or if it is not working , please provide me details and I will try to fix the problem. Func Down_FF_NonMS() Send("{TAB}{TAB}...

Major Differences between Python and Java

Image
Python and Java are both popular programming languages that have been around for many years. While they share some similarities, there are also some key differences between them. Syntax: One of the most obvious differences between Python and Java is their syntax. Python is known for its simple, readable syntax, which is designed to be easy to learn and use. Java, on the other hand, has a more complex syntax that requires more code to accomplish the same tasks. Performance: Java is generally faster than Python when it comes to execution speed. This is because Java code is compiled into bytecode, which can be executed directly by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Python, on the other hand, is an interpreted language, which means that each line of code is executed one at a time by the Python interpreter. Memory Management: Java manages memory through a process called Garbage Collection. This process automatically frees up memory that is no longer in use, which helps to prevent memory leaks ...

PyTest Unit Testing Framework with Example.

Image
What is Pytest: Pytest Benefits: Pytest Installation: This tutorial uses Python 3 , and we will be working inside a virtualenv . Python 3 has inbuilt support for creating virtual environments. We can very easily create and use a virtual environment for this demo project.  We need to run the following commands in the cmd.  mkdir pytest_demo     # this will create directory. cd pytest_demo           # move to newly create directory Python3 -m venv pytest-demo   # this creates a virtual environment called pytest-env in our working directory. To see, Run command dir [on Mac or Unix OS] source pytest-demo/bin/activate .  # This activates virtual environment. As long as this virtualenv is active, any package we install will be installed in this new virtual environment.   [on Winodws OS] pytest-demo\Scripts\activate pip install pytest     # This installs pytest on virtual environment. pytest -h      ...
