Selenium Python Automation Testing from Scratch and Frameworks - Passing Command Line Options to Select a Browser at Run

The video tutorial explains how to pass command line options to select different browsers at runtime for test execution using Pytest. It covers configuring Pytest to accept command line arguments, retrieving these values, and implementing browser-specific code. The tutorial also demonstrates testing the setup to ensure it defaults to Chrome if no browser is specified.

Why is it important to pass command line options for browser selection in Pytest?

• To allow flexibility in choosing different browsers

• To avoid using any browser

• To run tests without a browser

• To hardcode the browser choice

What is the purpose of using hooks in Pytest for command line arguments?

• To disable browser selection

• To execute tests without options

• To add and manage command line options

• To remove command line options

How can you set a default browser in Pytest if no command line option is provided?

• By manually editing each test case

• By setting a default value in the hook

• By not specifying any default

• By using a separate configuration file

Which method is used to retrieve the command line option value in a Pytest test method?

• request.config.get_option

• request.option_value

• request.retrieve_option

• request.get_value

What is the correct syntax for an 'else if' condition in Python?

• elsif

• elif

• else if

• elseif

What should be done after retrieving the browser name in the test method?

• Print the browser name

• Restart the test

• Execute browser-specific code

• Ignore the browser name

Why is code indentation important in Python?

• It is only for aesthetic purposes

• It helps in organizing code blocks

• It is used to comment code

• It is not important

What is the role of the 'maximize window' command in the test setup?

• To minimize the browser window

• To close the browser window

• To maximize the browser window

• To open a new browser window

What happens if no command line option is provided for the browser?

• The default browser will be used

• The test will not run

• An error will occur

• The test will run without a browser

Where can you find detailed information about Pytest command line options?

• In social media posts

• In unrelated programming books

• In the official Pytest documentation

• In random online forums
