Both of these -mechanisms can access previously stored variables, but do so using -different syntax.</p> -<p><strong>Stored Variables</strong></p> -<p>The commands <em>store</em>, <em>storeValue</em> and <em>storeText</em> can be used to store a variable -value for later access. Internally, these variables are stored in a map called "storedVars", -with values keyed by the variable name. These commands are documented in the command reference.</p> -<p><strong>Variable substitution</strong></p> -<p>Variable substitution provides a simple way to include a previously stored variable in a -command parameter. This is a simple mechanism, by which the variable to substitute is indicated -by ${variableName}. Multiple variables can be substituted, and intermixed with static text.</p> -<p>Example:</p> -<blockquote> -<table border="1" class="table"> -<colgroup> -<col width="18%" /> -<col width="36%" /> -<col width="45%" /> -</colgroup> -<tbody valign="top"> -<tr><td>store</td> -<td>Mr</td> -<td>title</td> -</tr> -<tr><td>storeValue</td> -<td>nameField</td> -<td>surname</td> -</tr> -<tr><td>store</td> -<td>${title} ${surname}</td> -<td>fullname</td> -</tr> -<tr><td>type</td> -<td>textElement</td> -<td>Full name is: ${fullname}</td> -</tr> -</tbody> -</table> -</blockquote> -<p><strong>Javascript evaluation</strong></p> -<p>Javascript evaluation provides the full power of javascript in constructing a command parameter. -To use this mechanism, the <em>entire</em> parameter value must be prefixed by -'javascript{' with a trailing '}'. The text inside the braces is evaluated as a javascript expression, -and can access previously stored variables using the <em>storedVars</em> map detailed above. -Note that variable substitution cannot be combined with javascript evaluation.</p> -<p>Example:</p> -<blockquote> -<table border="1" class="table"> -<colgroup> -<col width="9%" /> -<col width="44%" /> -<col width="46%" /> -</colgroup> -<tbody valign="top"> -<tr><td>store</td> -<td>javascript{'merchant' + (new Date()).getTime()}</td> -<td>merchantId</td> -</tr> -<tr><td>type</td> -<td>textElement</td> -<td>javascript{storedVars['merchantId'].toUpperCase()}</td> -</tr> -</tbody> -</table> -</blockquote> -</blockquote> -</div> -<div class="section" id="extending-selenium"> -<h1><a name="extending-selenium">Extending Selenium</a></h1> -<blockquote> -<p>It can be quite simple to extend Selenium, adding your own actions, checks and locator-strategies. -This is done with javascript by adding methods to the Selenium object prototype, and the PageBot -object prototype. On startup, Selenium will automatically look through methods on these prototypes, -using name patterns to recognise which ones are actions, checks and locators.</p> -<p>The following examples try to give an indication of how Selenium can be extended with javascript.</p> -</blockquote> -<p><strong>Actions</strong></p> -<blockquote> -<p>All <em>doFoo</em> methods on the Selenium prototype are added as actions. For each action <em>foo</em> there -is also an action <em>fooAndWait</em> registered. An action method can take up to 2 parameters, which -will be passed the second and third column values in the test.</p> -<p>Example: Add a "typeRepeated" action to Selenium, which types the text twice into a text box.</p> -<pre class="literal-block"> -Selenium.prototype.doTypeRepeated = function(locator, text) { - // All locator-strategies are automatically handled by "findElement" - var element = this.page().findElement(locator); - - // Create the text to type - var valueToType = text + text; - - // Replace the element text with the new text - this.page().replaceText(element, valueToType); -}; -</pre> -</blockquote> -<p><strong>Checks</strong></p> -<blockquote> -<p>All <em>assertFoo</em> methods on the Selenium prototype are added as checks.
