How to use property files as an object repository in Selenium WebDriver Automation?

Answer 1

Create any file & save it with .properties extension For example - Add new file in eclipse By right click on project > New > Fille and add below properties.

Username = xyz
Password = 123

Write Below code to access this file

String filepath = "./config.properties" ; // Path of .properties file
File f = new File(filepath); 
FileInputStream fs = new FileInputStream(f);

Properties pro = new Properties();
Pro.Load(fs);
pro.getProperty("Username"); // return value "xyz"  return type string 
pro.getProperty("Password"); // retun  value "123" return type string

Also, use-

driver.findelement(By.id("user")).sendKeys(pro.getProperty("Username"));
driver.findelement(By.id("pass")).sendKeys(pro.getProperty("Password"));
