Cheesecake

Here’s another one of my odd Selenium examples! Last month I finally got to eat at a ‘Cheesecake Factory’ restaurant, after first hearing about them a few years back from an American friend. There’s an overwhelming choice of 30+ cheesecakes to choose from, and I’m really not good at making decisions when there’s so much choice. I decided to go with ‘The Original’, and that every subsequent visit to the chain I would work my way down the menu, knowing I’d probably never get through all of them in my lifetime!

So as I’m in California right now, I remembered my experience, and decided to check out the full menu from the restaurant so that I could add it to Evernote and keep track of my progress. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to do a nice copy+paste from the site, so - as usual - I wrote a Selenium script to list all the cheesecakes. For a change this script uses the HtmlUnitDriver, however you can easily swap in one of the other browser drivers.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import java.util.List;

public class CheesecakeFactory {

    HtmlUnitDriver driver;

    @BeforeTest
    public void startDriver() {
        driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
    }

    @AfterTest
    public void stopDriver() {
        driver.close();
    }

    @Test
    public void listCheesecakes() {
        driver.get("http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/");
        driver.findElement(By.linkText("Menu")).click();
        driver.findElement(By.linkText("Cheesecake")).click();
        List<WebElement> cheesecakes = driver.findElements(By.xpath("id('leftNav_levelTwo')//li"));

        System.out.println(cheesecakes.size() + " cheesecakes:");
        for (int i=0; i<cheesecakes.size(); i++) {
            System.out.println(i+1 + ". " + cheesecakes.get(i).getText());
        }
    }
}
