Python selenium - how can I loop a function to make 100 Copy accounts using different emails

Question

How can I loop a different string into the email field, or a variable without actually having to make a list that consist of 100 different emails. For example is there a way i can send [email protected] to the email field then [email protected] and so on.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
import unittest
class CreateAccount(unittest.TestCase):
 def setUp(self):
 global driver
 driver = webdriver.Firefox()
 driver.implicitly_wait(10)
 driver.get("http://www.copy.com")
 driver.maximize_window()
def test_main(self):
 createNewAccount = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/main/div/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[5]/div[1]/a")
 createNewAccount.click()
 firstName = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='dom_id_3']")
 lastName = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='dom_id_4']")
 emailField = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='dom_id_5']")
 passwordField = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='dom_id_6']")
 submitButton = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/main/div/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/form/button")
 firstName.send_keys("mike")
 lastName.send_keys("mano")
 emailField.send_keys("[email protected]")
 passwordField.send_keys("test12")
 submitButton.click()
 try:
 xpath = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/main/div/article[2]/div[4]/header/div[2]/div/div[4]/a")
 print("Yeah")
 except NoSuchElementException:
 print("Failed")
 raise Exception(NoSuchElementException)
def tearDown(self):
 driver.quit()
if __name__ == "__main__":
 unittest.main(warnings='ignore')

• Vince Bowdren: Do you know the email addresses in advance, i.e. are you working from a fixed list? Or could you make up the email addresses in the code?
• user12839: I am needing the same thing. I would like my test case to generate a new email id every time it runs. for example, [email protected], then the next time when it runs it should generate [email protected], [email protected] and so on and so forth. Below is my code: int i = 0; for(int count=1; count < 2; i++){ driver.findElement(By.name("signupDialogEmail")).sendKeys("mholmgren" + i + "@gmail.com"); The above code keeps looping and keeps generating ids after ids.
• user246: Mike, is that intended to be an answer to the question, or are you saying, "Me too!"

Answer 1

If you're trying to register 100 accounts, this is a simple addition to your code to do that.

for i in range(100):
 email_address = "money" + str(i) + "@qa.test"
 firstName.send_keys("mike")
 lastName.send_keys("mano")
 emailField.send_keys(email_address)
 passwordField.send_keys("test12")
 submitButton.click()

• kirbycope: This only works once. To get a more unique number, consider using a Unix Time Stamp stackoverflow.com/q/19801727/1106708
• Lucas Schwarz: @kirbycope The question specifically asked for 100 accounts containing a prefix and a number and a domain, starting with number 1. That it only works once also depends on one's teardown methodology. That being said, it's generally a good idea to create unique email addresses since it's not very difficult.
