Redfin Search Results Verification

An exercise in automating search, filters, and verification of the displayed results for Redfin.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

Any modern machine and operating system should be able to run this project.

For simplicity's sake, the instructions will be catered to a Mac running OS X with Google Chrome installed.

Installing

Perform the following steps from your terminal of choice:

1. Install Homebrew, a package manager for macOS:

   /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
   

2. Install rbenv, a Ruby version manager:

   brew install rbenv
   

3. Configure rbenv in your shell:

   rbenv init
   

4. Restart your shell:

8. Install the required Ruby Gems:

   bundle install
   

Running the code

cucumber

Output and results will follow.

Testing the code

1. Open features/tests/search_filter_results.feature in your text editor or IDE of choice.
2. Modify the values in the Then I set lines one at a time to something drastically different (to ensure the homes returned contain ones that will trigger failure when checking) while leaving the And I verify lines with their original values.
3. Run the code.
4. Observe a failure for the type of filter you modified.
