Cucumber fails on @Then step on Spring Framework, cannot read result

Question

I have a cucumber framework where the data is being sent as expected but the result is not being read correctly. I suspect because the answer is not appearing on the text box of the calculator to be read:

org.junit.ComparisonFailure: Expected :3 Actual :0

at org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:115)
at org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:144)
at io.autotest.steps.GivenSteps.i_should_get_an_answer_of(GivenSteps.java:48)
at ✽.Then I should get an answer of "3"(cucumber-feature/google-calc.feature:7)

Feature File Feature: Google Calculator Calculator should calculate correct calculations

Scenario Outline: Add numbers Given I am on google calculator page When I add number "" to number "" Then I should get an answer of ""

Examples: 
    | number1 | number2 | answer |
    | 1       | 2       | 3      |
    | 4       | 5       | 9      |

Scenario Outline: Subtract numbers Given I am on google calculator page When I subtract number "" to number "" Then I should get an answer of ""

Examples: 
    | number1 | number2 | answer |
    | 10      | 5       | 5      |
    | 15      | 10      | 5     |

Steps:

@Autowired
private GoogleCalcPage googleCalcPage;

@Given("^I am on google calculator page$")
public void iAmOnGoogleCalculatorPage() throws Throwable {
    webDriver.get("https://www.google.ie/search?q=calculator");
    Thread.sleep(3000);
}

@When("^I add number \"([^\"]*)\" to number \"([^\"]*)\"$")
public void i_add_number_to_number(String arg1, String arg2) {
    googleCalcPage.clickOnGivenButton(webDriver, arg1);
    googleCalcPage.clickOnGivenButton(webDriver, "+");
    googleCalcPage.clickOnGivenButton(webDriver, arg2);
    googleCalcPage.clickOnGivenButton(webDriver, "=");
}

@When("^I subtract number \"([^\"]*)\" to number \"([^\"]*)\"$")
public void i_subtract_number_to_number(String arg1, String arg2) {
    googleCalcPage.clickOnGivenButton(webDriver, arg1);
    googleCalcPage.clickOnGivenButton(webDriver, "−");
    googleCalcPage.clickOnGivenButton(webDriver, arg2);
    googleCalcPage.clickOnGivenButton(webDriver, "=");
}

@Then("^I should get an answer of \"([^\"]*)\"$")
public void i_should_get_an_answer_of(String arg1) {

    Assert.assertEquals(arg1, googleCalcPage.getResult());

}}

Page Object @PageObject public class GoogleCalcPage { @FindBy(id = "cwbt33") private WebElement btn1; @FindBy(id = "cwbt34") private WebElement btn2; @FindBy(id = "cwbt35") private WebElement btn3; @FindBy(id="cwtltblr") private WebElement result;

public GoogleCalcPage() {
}

//findElement(By.id("cwtltblr"));

public void clickOnGivenButton(WebDriver driver, String value) {

    for (int i = 0; i < value.length(); i++) {
        driver.findElement(By.id(String.format("cwtltblr", value.charAt(i)))).click();
        //driver.findElement(By.xpath(String.format("//span[text()='%s']", value.charAt(i)))).click();
        synchTime(1000);    
    }
}

private void synchTime(long time) {
    try {
        Thread.sleep(time);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

public String getResult() {

    String resultText = result.getText().trim();

    return resultText;
}

}

Wondering if anyone has any ideas?

If the result isn’t displayed, it’s very hard for your page object to pick it up and the failure is not surprising.

Do you have a timing problem? Are you looking for the value to early? If you run in a graphical browser, say Firefox, do you see a value on the result box?

To me it seems as you need to trouble shoot your page object rather than anything else.
