# Make me work!

Fix the issues in this repo and make this program work. This repository is aimed at folks who have already learnt to *write* basic Python but are looking for more realistic challenges that involve reading a large enough codebase, exploring file structures and making changes to an existing codebase.



The code you are going to run is a Selenium test for the [Weather Shopper](http://weathershopper.pythonanywhere.com/) application. The automated test itself completes the [weather shopper exercise](https://github.com/qxf2/weather-shopper). Your job is to fix the problems in the automated test and make it run successfully.



# Setup

0. This codebase uses Python 3.10.0

1. Fork this repository

2. Clone your forked repository

3. Create a virtualenv and activate it

4. `pip install -r requirements.txt`

5. Install Chrome driver. If you don't know how to, please try:

   > [Chrome driver](https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/getting-started)

6. Run the test using the command `pytest -k e2e`



The setup instructions are intentionally high-level since this repository is aimed at people with people who have already written Python before. If you are beginner, you will find our [other repository](https://github.com/qxf2/wtfiswronghere) a better place to start.



# Your assignment

The [weather shopper exercise](https://github.com/qxf2/weather-shopper) has been partially completed using the code provided to you. Your assignment is to:



1. fix the errors in the existing code

2. complete the exercise on the payment page

3. use the same design patterns and programming style when solving the exercises



# How to proceed?

1. Run the test using the command `pytest -k e2e`

2. Observe, debug and fix the error

3. Test your fix

4. Commit your change and push

5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the next error



# Example working test

If you fix all the bugs in this code, your test should perform like the gif below:

Remember, you should not stop at just fixing the existing code. You should also complete the instructions on the cart page too!



# Debugging tips

Here are some useful debugging tips that do not involve the use of debugger:



1. Search for strings in all files

2. Search for sub-strings in all files if the exact string does not exist

3. F12 to follow the definition of a method in Visual Studio Code

4. Add debug messages to figure out the flow

5. if True: trick (to get exact error messages, in the test, replace `try:` with `if True:` and comment out the `except` portion)

6. Read the log messages backwards

7. Sometimes the error happens in the line before the failure!



# Notes

1. Use Python 3.10.0

2. We recommend using Visual Studio code as your IDE

3. We recomment using a virtualenv

4. You need to have Chrome driver installed
