Testing E-Mails

Test programmatically whether emails are correctly sent from a web application or mobile app. For email testing in the webmate web app, see Testing Mails .

You need an authenticated webmateSession to call this function, see this article on how to set up and authenticate with the SDK.

First you need to create the temporary email address to use as receiver for your test mails.

Parameter
projectId	webmate project id of the project the device is running in
testRunId	webmate TestRunId for the current test run

WebmateSeleniumSession webmateSeleniumSession = webmateSession.addSeleniumSession(driver.getSessionId.toString);
TestRunId testRunId = webmateSeleniumSession.getTestRunId();

TestMailAddress mailAddress = webmateSession.mailTest.createTestMailAddress("7c4f09fd-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx", testRunId);

let testRunId = webmateSession.addSeleniumSession(browserObj.sessionId).getTestRunId();
let mailAddress = await webmateSession.mailTest.createTestMailAddress("7c4f09fd-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx", testRunId).toPromise();

After triggering the emails in your application, you can fetch the received emails:

`1`	`List<TestMail> mails = webmateSession.mailTest.getMailsInTestRun("7c4f09fd-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx", testRunId)`

The webmate TestMail class offers the following methods for checking if the correct mails were received:

function	description
getFrom()	get the sender address
getTo()	get the receiver address
getEmailContent()	get the email content
hashCode()	get a hash code of the mail to compare
toString()	convert the mail to a string of the format “TestMail{from=‘XXX’, to=‘XXX’, emailContent=‘XXX’}”
equals(Object o)()	check if the TestMail equals to another object

`1`	`let mails = await webmateSession.mailTest.getMailsInTestRun("7c4f09fd-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx", testRunId).toPromise();`

The webmate TestMail class offers the following variables for checking the mail content:

variable	description
from	get the sender address
to	get the receiver address
emailContent	get the email content
