Selenium2 Module

For additional reference, please review the source

Uses Mink to manipulate Selenium2 WebDriver

Note that all method take CSS selectors to fetch elements.

On test failure the browser window screenshot will be saved to log directory

One day this module will be replaced with WebDriver module.

Installation

Download Selenium2 WebDriver Launch the daemon: java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.xx.xxx.jar

Don't forget to turn on Db repopulation if you are using database.

Status

Configuration

  • url required - start url for your app
  • browser required - browser that would be launched
  • host - Selenium server host (localhost by default)
  • port - Selenium server port (4444 by default)
  • delay - set delay between actions in milliseconds (1/1000 of second) if they run too fast
  • capabilities - sets Selenium2 desired capabilities. Should be a key-value array.

Example (acceptance.suite.yml)

modules:
   enabled: [Selenium2]
   config:
      Selenium2:
         url: 'http://localhost/'
         browser: firefox
         capabilities:
             unexpectedAlertBehaviour: 'accept'
