Attributeerror: 'loginpage' Object Has No Attribute 'driver'

I have a base class. Inheriting base class, login.py runs without any problem. But when I run Company_Management.py its giving me: Traceback (most recent call last): File '/home/

Solution 1:

Both your classes extend [Python 2]: class unittest.TestCase(methodName='runTest'). According to [Python 2]: Skipping tests and expected failures

Skipped tests will not have setUp() or tearDown() run around them. Skipped classes will not have setUpClass() or tearDownClass() run.

Also, according to [Python 2]: setUpClass and tearDownClass:

If you want the setUpClass and tearDownClass on base classes called then you must call up to them yourself.

What happens:

• login.py: LoginPage is instantiated (and run) automatically by the unittest framework (unittest.main()) and setUpClass method is called - which adds the driver attribute to the LoginPage class - and (automatically, to) all its instances

• Company_Management.py: LoginPage is instantiated manually by you (em = login.LoginPage()), but the setUpClass method isn't called - and thus LoginPage (or any of its instances) doesn't have the driver attribute - hence your error. To fix it, manually call the method yourself, either:

  • After instantiating the class (on the instance):

    em = login.LoginPage()
    em.setUpClass()
    

  • On the class itself (better, before instantiating it)

    login.LoginPage.setUpClass()
    em = login.LoginPage()
