java - Control Test Execution Progress with Keyboard Interrupts - using WebDriverEventListener & EventFiringWebDriver -

i have tests automated webdriver+java+testng+maven

i looking solution wherein progress (step next step) of test can controlled using keyboard interrupts on every navigation.

ex: lets automation navigation of application. progress of test should driven key press every page redirection.

i have partially found solution. used code github - https://gist.github.com/krmahadevan/1728633

test class -

import com.shn.library.webdriverlistener;  public class dummytest {          @test         public void testmethod(){             webdriver driver = new firefoxdriver();             eventfiringwebdriver efwd = new eventfiringwebdriver(driver);             webdriverlistener eventlistener = new webdriverlistener(efwd);             efwd.register(eventlistener);             efwd.get("http://www.yahoo.com");             efwd.get("https://www.mail.google.com");          }     } 

implementing webdrivereventlistener -

package com.shn.library;  import java.awt.keyeventdispatcher; import java.awt.keyboardfocusmanager; import java.awt.event.keyevent; import java.util.concurrent.countdownlatch;  import org.openqa.selenium.by; import org.openqa.selenium.webdriver; import org.openqa.selenium.webelement; import org.openqa.selenium.support.events.webdrivereventlistener;  public class webdriverlistener implements webdrivereventlistener {     private webdriver webdriver;      public webdriverlistener(webdriver webdriver){         this.webdriver = webdriver;     }      public void beforenavigateto(string url, webdriver driver) {      }      public void afternavigateto(string url, webdriver driver) {         final countdownlatch latch = new countdownlatch(1);         keyeventdispatcher dispatcher = new keyeventdispatcher() {             // anonymous class invoked edt             public boolean dispatchkeyevent(keyevent e) {                 if (e.getkeycode() == keyevent.vk_space)                     latch.countdown();                 return false;             }         };         keyboardfocusmanager.getcurrentkeyboardfocusmanager().addkeyeventdispatcher(dispatcher);         try {             latch.await();         } catch (interruptedexception e1) {             // todo auto-generated catch block             e1.printstacktrace();         }  // current thread waits here until countdown() called         keyboardfocusmanager.getcurrentkeyboardfocusmanager().removekeyeventdispatcher(dispatcher);         system.out.println(this.webdriver.gettitle());         // todo auto-generated method stub      } } 

but then, getting infinite loop. key press (space) not being detected

i'm pretty sure want achieve cannot directly supported selenium. can share did 1 of our projects.,we used python simulate keyboard input android devices.

however, write wrapper code in python waits keyboard input , s executes selenium code.

more info in answer how simulate keyboard input which easiest way simulate keyboard , mouse on python?
