Create login-indeed.java

[PitaFLAME]

We need a file to handle login for indeed.com.

This will be called before proceeding with any scraping.

Please accomplish the following:

• Create a new file: /src/main/login/indeed.java
• Include the Selenium Java packages for web scraping.
• File must navigate directly to https://secure.indeed.com/auth to handle auth
• Program execution MUST be headless
• Program MUST reference environment variables for credentials. You may create your own .env file for testing.
  • Username variable: INDEED_USERNAME
  • Password variable: INDEED_PASSWORD
  • For testing account credentials, please reach out to a Project Lead.
• Program MUST return page, context, browser to main program.

I am still familiarizing myself with all the nuts and bolts, but am interested in tackling this one. Adding this as a placeholder and will return tomorrow with some questions.

Yeah! Go for it, when you have questions, I'll be here!

@PitaFLAME Few questions when its convenient for you:

I have been taking a stab at this for a couple days whilst trying to understand how Selenium works. As far as the actual Indeed login code goes, I am starting to make some progress.

What I am wondering, is should I be able to test what I am doing or does that require the other components of the project to be working? Forgive me as I am very new to this, but I couldn't tell how to ensure I am on the right track as I write the code, or if I need to somehow link it to other parts of the scraper.

That is the main thing I am stumped on now, I am sure other things will come up in due time though!

Cheers and thanks in advance for the help
