Creating a method to increment a number within an email












0















During a test automation journey i am running, i need to verify an email address which must be different each time.
Instead of using multiple different email address's, we have set up an office 365 account that allows +(number) ie test+1@test.com.
Although i know how to create an increment by 1 method i am unsure of how to incorporate that into the email address within a method to give me a different email each time.
Apologies if this is already in stack overflow but i couldn't find it.
Thanks

    if you know how to do increment one, you know how to do this. it's just that, added with a simple String concatenation

You can use a dedicated gmail account and before using it you can append +timestamp in it.
example:
let's say you have a account on gmail ABC@gmail.com
Now, every time you use this email for verification append ABC+timestamp@gmail.com this email is new for you application but you will always receive verification code on ABC@gmail. you can read ABC@gmail every time for the latest mail for verification. I have used this methods and it works fine with gmail.



Try to test it manually make and gmail account with any name say Mdug@gmail.com
Now send email to Mdug+1@gmail.com using different account. you will receive mail at Mdug@gmail.com because in gmail Mdug+anything@gmail.com == Mdug@gmail.com.



Every time you have to read latest mail in Mdug@gmail.com because every verification code will go there



Instead of using random number you can append (Epoch)timestamp after + in email id because it will always be unique

  • Thanks for your comment. the timestamp is a much better idea then increment by 1 each time. Iv managed to create the string and it now add the time and date within the email address each time its created, this also allows me to know if its the correct email i'm looking at as there can occasionally. Problem solved, thanks all
