Specification (specs/login.spec)

# Login Feature

## Successful Login
* Navigate to login page
* Enter email "user@test.com"
* Enter password "password123"
* Click login button
* Verify dashboard is displayed
* Verify welcome message contains "Welcome"

## Invalid Credentials
* Navigate to login page
* Enter email "wrong@test.com"
* Enter password "wrong"
* Click login button
* Verify error message "Invalid credentials" is shown

## Login with multiple users
|email             |password |expected  |
|-----------------|---------|----------|
|admin@test.com   |admin123 |Dashboard |
|user@test.com    |pass123  |Dashboard |
|bad@test.com     |wrong    |Error     |

* Login as <email> with <password>
* Verify <expected> page is shown

Step Implementation — Java

import com.thoughtworks.gauge.Step;
import com.thoughtworks.gauge.Table;

public class LoginSteps {
    WebDriver driver;

    @Step("Navigate to login page")
    public void navigateToLogin() {
        driver.get("http://localhost:3000/login");
    }

    @Step("Enter email <email>")
    public void enterEmail(String email) {
        driver.findElement(By.id("email")).sendKeys(email);
    }

    @Step("Enter password <password>")
    public void enterPassword(String password) {
        driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys(password);
    }

    @Step("Click login button")
    public void clickLogin() {
        driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button[type='submit']")).click();
    }

    @Step("Verify dashboard is displayed")
    public void verifyDashboard() {
        assertTrue(driver.getCurrentUrl().contains("/dashboard"));
    }
}

Step Implementation — Python

from getgauge.python import step
from selenium import webdriver

@step("Navigate to login page")
def navigate_to_login():
    driver.get("http://localhost:3000/login")

@step("Enter email <email>")
def enter_email(email):
    driver.find_element_by_id("email").send_keys(email)

@step("Click login button")
def click_login():
    driver.find_element_by_css_selector("button[type='submit']").click()

Concepts (Reusable Step Groups — specs/concepts/login.cpt)

# Login as <email> with <password>
* Navigate to login page
* Enter email <email>
* Enter password <password>
* Click login button

Setup: gauge install java (or python, js, ruby)

Init: gauge init java

Run: gauge run specs/ or gauge run specs/login.spec

Cloud Execution on TestMu AI

Set environment variables: LT_USERNAME, LT_ACCESS_KEY

// StepImplementation.java
ChromeOptions browserOptions = new ChromeOptions();
HashMap<String, Object> ltOptions = new HashMap<>();
ltOptions.put("user", System.getenv("LT_USERNAME"));
ltOptions.put("accessKey", System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY"));
ltOptions.put("build", "Gauge Build");
ltOptions.put("platformName", "Windows 11");
ltOptions.put("video", true);
ltOptions.put("console", true);
browserOptions.setCapability("LT:Options", ltOptions);
Driver.setWebDriver(new RemoteWebDriver(
    new URL("https://hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub"), browserOptions));

Tags: gauge run --tags "smoke" (use Tags: smoke in spec)
