ERROR: test_registration (__main__.Registration) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "./Registration.py", line 17, in setUp self.accept_next_alert = true NameError: global name 'true' is not defined
Cause
This is a syntax error. Boolean True and False are case-sensitive. Some older code may have them in lower case, which will cause an error in current versions of Python. For example:
def setUp(self): self.driver = webdriver.Firefox() self.driver.implicitly_wait(30) self.base_url = "http://example.com" self.verificationErrors = [] self.accept_next_alert = true
Solution
Capitalize the first letter of any boolean declarations.
self.accept_next_alert = True
