It is well -described <a - href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/same-origin.html">here</a>, -but for our purposes, it constrains the way that a -JavaScript in a browser may interoperate with other open frames and -windows. In short, the Selenium JavaScript app must come from (or -appear to) the same origin as the AUT.<br> -<h2>The Driver</h2> -The driver has a number of duties. These are typically.. <br> -<ul> - <li>Instantiating the web server with a dynamic app (servlets for -Java) </li> - <li>Launching a browser with a with a URL that makes sense for -connecting to that server </li> - <li>providing an API to such that commands can be routed though the -dynamic app to the browser</li> -</ul> -<h2>Local, Remote and URLs<br> -</h2> -An application may be testable in a remote location by humans, but for -scripted testing and the need for the driver to dynamically drive the -browser, it is optimal for the driver to be on the same machine as that -serving the AUT and the browser testing it. <br> -<br> -Thus, an application as deployed ...<br> -<br> -<img alt="http://localhost:8080/" src="images/stockmeister.png" - style="width: 361px; height: 68px;"><br> -<br> -... would appear like so for the purposes of testing ...<br> -<br> -<img alt="http://localhost:8080/" src="images/localhostAut.png" - style="width: 346px; height: 43px;"><br> -<br> -As with the standalone version of Selenium, there are a number of files -(HTML and JavaScript) that comprise the bulk of the testing framework -and sit in the browser as testing occurs. It makes most sense to put -these in a virtual directory on the same server ...<br> -<br> -<img alt="http://localhost:8080/selenium/" - src="images/localhostSelenium.png" - style="width: 326px; height: 57px;"><br> -<br> -The dynamic webapp needs to be similarly mounted ...<br> -<br> -<img alt="http://localhost:8080/selenium/driver?..." - src="images/localhostDriver.png" style="width: 318px; height: 52px;"><br> -<br> -As the dynamic is the link between what is happening in the browser and -the driving process, it we need to somehow have an instance reference -to it. This is easier in some languages and web servers than -others. Also full programatic start/stop control over the web -server is not always possible for some larger web servers -implementations.<br> -<h2>Reply/Request Architecture</h2> -Because a browser cannot open a socket and listen on it, we must -effectively initiate communication thru the driver on the browser side. -Ignoring the possibilities granted by keep-alive, we simply poll from -the browser to the server and pick up commands to process inside the -browser. Results of commands are also passed back to the dynamic -hander over the same mechanism. These are in fact done in the same HTTP -request. The results from the <span style="font-style: italic;">previous</span> -command go back as query string parameters, and the <span - style="font-style: italic;">next</span> command is communicated in a -text/plain document<br> -<br> -The previous/next business introduces some complexity on the driver -side of the design. Namely hidden behind the API, the driver must -manage queues for the outgoing commands and the (some time later) -incoming responses. Java, until 1.5, did not have a blocking -queue to make this easy. Most other languages did.<br> -<h2><span style="font-weight: bold;">Selenese</span></h2> -<table style="width: 100%;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"> - <tbody> - <tr> - <td>Selenese is the contrived (and mostly hidden) wire language -that the -driver uses to speak to the browser-bot through the dynamic -handler. It uses HTTP for its transport, and is quite -simple. <br> - <br> -Responses come from the browser to the driver in a query -string like <br> - <br> - <span style="font-family: monospace;">commandResult=OK</span>, <br> - <br> -Commands go from the driver to the -browser-bot in a text/plain document:<br> - <br> - <span style="font-family: monospace;">| open | /foo/bar.html | |</span><br - style="font-family: monospace;"> - <br> -This two way communication is of course invisible to the observer.</td> - <td style="width: 30%; background-color: rgb(255, 153, 102);">The -BrowserBot, by understanding Selenese, allows a process other than the -browser itsself to direct events on the Application Under Test. <br> - <br> -The Selenese language is simple enough to be commandable by any -language that has an API that can handle HTTP requests. <br> - <br> -Thus, Selenese allows many different open, free or closed license -drivers to interoperate with the BrowserBot.</td> - </tr> - </tbody> -</table> -<h2>Choregraphy</h2> -The driver cleary has some fairly heavy things to do. It is -important for some robustness to be built into the design. For example -it may take a long time for the browser to be instantiated on a -particular platform. It is appropriate for wait timeouts to be -generous here. Similarly whilst issuing individual commands it is -important for the driver to wait a sufficient amount of time for a -command to execute (and its result to come back). For the most -part on a localhost setup, it will be because the AUT is slow, but it -could be because some break in the app means that there will be no -subsequent response. Some timeout regime should be able to -recover from, mark a test as failed (for reasons of timeout), and start -again with the next test.<br> -<br> -<br> -</body> -</html> diff --git a/tests/FunctionalTests/selenium/doc/driven.html b/tests/FunctionalTests/selenium/doc/driven.html deleted file mode 100644 index a5f33dff..00000000 --- a/tests/FunctionalTests/selenium/doc/driven.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,206 +0,0 @@ -<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> -<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> -<head> - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> - <meta name="generator" - content="Docutils 0.3.6: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/"> - <title>Driven Selenium Reference</title> - <link rel="stylesheet" href="default.css" type="text/css"> -</head> -<body> -<div class="document" id="selenium-reference"> -<div class="section" id="test-tables"> -<h2><a name="test-tables"></a>Overview</h2> -Driven Selenium is where the browser is under the the control of an -adjacent process.

When the driver -process is complete the web server will be programmatically stopped. <br> -</p> -<p style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">[ For release 0.2 - this is the only -mode that really works. Those below will be fine for 0.3 and above ]<br> -</p> -<h3>Adjacent Web Server</h3> -<img alt="diagram of adjacent config" src="images/Adjacent.png" - style="width: 534px; height: 572px;"><br> -By adjacent we mean a process on the same machine as the driver. As -such it would appear as localhost to browsers. <br> -<br> -For the .Net driver embedded is very unlikely as Internet Information -Server is running in its own process. For the Java driver, this could -simple be a necessary choice - i.e. the deployment target is WebLogic -or -WebSphere which are not too embeddable. <br> -<br> -In this scenario we suggest you deploy a small web-app alongside the -AUT that will liase between the driver process and the browser.

Looks strangely -familiar to Javascript doesn't it? You can of course call the selenium API too -if the browser has loaded the main Selenium page (which also includes the rmi.js -script - at least that is the plan - I hope (Aslak)).</p> -<h1>How does it work?</h1> -<p>(You can safely skip this section if you don't care - this is gory details)</p> -<h2>Browser side</h2> -<p>The rmi.js script uses the -<a href="http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/xmlhttpreq.html"> -XMLHttpRequest</a> object (available in all compatible browsers) to communicate -with the external process. It executes a GET-POST loop which is repeated ad -infinitum - pulling JSRMI invocations from the external process with GET and -POSTing the results back. This all happens in a separate thread, thereby having -minimal impact on the rest of the web page - without causing a page refresh.</p> -<p>The rmi.js script will do a HTTP GET to a URL on the same host/port as the rmi.js -script was loaded from. The content returned from the GET (which must comply -with the <a href="#protocol">JSRMI protocol</a>) is then translated into -Javascript and dynamically executed via Javascript's <font face="Courier New"> -eval()</font> function.</p> -<p>The result of the function call (typically a Javascript object) is translated -back into the JSRMI protocol format and POSTed back to the same URL as the GET.</p> -<h2>External process side</h2> -<p>The external process typically consists of a library that embeds the -following functionality:</p> -<ul> - <li>A HTTP server (should be light to ensure fast startup)</li> - <li>An API that translates local invocations into the JSRMI protocol</li> - <li>Two blocking queues:</li> - <ul> - <li>Output queue - HTTP GET invocations will take JSRMI protocol strings - (representing browser side invocations) from this queue and block until - something is available. These strings are returned to the HTTP client (The - rmi.js script in the browser). This means a blocking GET for the JSRMI - browser side).</li> - <li>Input queue - HTTP POST data from the browser side JSRMI will be enqued - here. This data represents results of browser side Javascript invocations.</li> - </ul> -</ul> -<p>A local invocation should translate the invocation to a JSRMI protocol string -and put it on the output queue (which jsrmi will GET). It should then wait for -the result of the browser side invocation to be put back on the input queue via -a POST from jsrmi. Finally it should translate the return value (another JSRMI -protocol string) into a native object and return it to the caller.</p> -<p>At any given point in time there should only be one single JSRMI protocol -string in one of the queues - depending on the where the invocation is in its -lifecycle.</p> -<h2>Reference objects</h2> -<p>JSRMI allows objects (such as browser side HTMLDocument, HTMLTextField etc) -to be transferred back and forth. This is based on a simple mechanism where each -object is given a unique id and maintained in a pool on each side. this pool is -used to reference and dereference native objects back and forth from the JSRMI -protocol strings.</p> -<h1>Why would I use JSRMI?</h1> -<h2>With Selenium</h2> -<p>The Selenium browser runtime will load both selenium test scripts and the web -pages from the web application you're testing into the browser. Modern browsers -don't allow content to be loaded from different hosts (cross browsing security -restrictions). A web application being tested will typically be deployed on a -server, and therefore the selenium test scripts must be loaded from the same web -server. Depending on who's writing the Selenium scripts and executing them, this -may or may not be a restriction to its usage.</p> -<p>Under some circumstances it is desirable to keep Selenium test scripts on -your local machine (the same as the one running the browser with the Selenium -runtime) rather than on a remote web server hosting the web application being -tested. Some examples are:</p> -<ul> - <li>The edit/run cycle of selenium scripts can be cumbersome if the script has - to be deployed to a server each time it is modified. Being able to keep the - scripts on a different machine (such as the one on your desk) can - significantly improve the ease of use and rapid development of tests. JSRMI - lets you do just that.</li> - <li>Putting in place a deployment routine for selenium script requires - technical knowledge of the web application's build process as well as the web - server hosting it. Many users of Selenium will not have easy access to this - expertise. JSRMI lets these users use Selenium nevertheless.</li> -</ul> -<p><i>It is important to emphasise that hosting the Selenium scripts on a local -machine would also require that the browser loads the web site being tested from -the local machine. Aren't we creating new problems by requiring testers to -install a full web server environment on their machines? Actually no. The JSRMI -libraries in Ruby and Java (and those who may follow) will soon provide a light -HTTP proxy server. The local browser will load the remote web site through this -HTTP proxy. The browser's security restrictions are satisfied since all content -(Selenium runtime, Selenium scripts and the remote website) is loaded through -localhost.</i></p> -<h2>Scripting of existing web applications</h2> -<p>Think of all boring web form tasks you could automate with JSRMI....</p> -<h1><a name="protocol">The JSRMI protocol</a></h1> -<p>TODO: describe the format.</p> -<h1>How do I implement a JSRMI client library for language X?</h1> -<p>Start by understand the inner workings - look at the ruby implementation and -study the javascript. (When the JSRMI protocol is better described, studying -this code should not be necessary). </p> -<p>It will be to implement a JSRMI client -library in a dynamic language than a static language, because dynamic languages -allow arbitrary messages (method invocations) to be sent to an object. Most -dynamic languages (Ruby, Python, Groovy, Smalltalk) have a generic mechanism to -intercept any message and an object message->JSRMI protocol translation logic is -trivial to implement based on this.</p> -<h2>Guidelines for static languages such as Java and C#</h2> -<p>JSRMI clients for static languages such as Java or C# will either have to -choose a subset of the Javascript functions and objects that you want to access, -or implement some generic invocation mechanism that allows raw JSRMI protocol -strings.</p> -<p>The former is more easy to use from a user perspective, but will be -restricted in terms of flexibility. The latter is completely generic, but -awkward to deal with from a user perspective.</p> -<p>The recommendation is to implement a raw interface to the JSRMI protocol and -have a generic dynamic proxy implementation on top of that. This way the API -support can easily be extended simply by implementing new interfaces for the -Javascript counterparts and generate dynamic proxies on the fly as needed. </p> -<h2>Calling functions/methods in an external process from the browser using JSRMI</h2> -<p>This is currently not possible.</p> -</body> -</html>

Selenium commands come in two 'flavors', **Actions** and **Assertions**. - Each command call is one line in the test table of the form: - - ======= ====== ===== - command target value - ======= ====== ===== - - **Actions** are commands that generally manipulate the state of the application. They do things like "click this link" and "select that option". If an Action fails, or has an error, the execution of the current test is stopped. - - **Assertions** verify the state of the application conforms to what is expected. Examples include "make sure the page title is X" and "verify that this checkbox is checked". It is possible to tell Selenium to stop the test when an Assertion fails, or to simply record the failure and continue. - - **Element Locators** tell Selenium which HTML element a command refers to. Many commands require an Element Locator as the "target" attribute. Examples of Element Locators include "elementId" and "document.forms[0].element". These are described more clearly in the next section. - - **Patterns** are used for various reasons, e.g. to specify the expected value of an input field, or identify a select option. Selenium supports various types of pattern, including regular-expressions, all of which are described in more detail below. - ------------------ -Element Locators ------------------ - - Element Locators allow Selenium to identify which HTML element a - command refers to. The format of a locator is: - - *locatorType*\ **=**\ *argument* - - We support the following strategies for locating - elements: - - **id=**\ *id* - - Select the element with the specified @id attribute. - - **name=**\ *name* - - Select the first element with the specified @name attribute. - - username - - name=username - - The name may optionally be following by one or more *element-filters*, separated from the name by whitespace. If the *filterType* is not specified, **value** is assumed. - - name=flavour value=chocolate - - **identifier=**\ *id* - - Select the element with the specified @id attribute. If no match is found, select the first element whose @name attribute is *id*. - - **dom=**\ *javascriptExpression* - - Find an element using JavaScript traversal of the HTML Document Object Model. DOM locators *must* begin with "document.". - - dom=document.forms['myForm'].myDropdown - - dom=document.images[56] - - **xpath=**\ *xpathExpression* - - Locate an element using an XPath expression. - - xpath=//img[@alt='The image alt text'] - - xpath=//table[@id='table1']//tr[4]/td[2] - - **link=**\ *textPattern* - - Select the link (anchor) element which contains text matching the specified *pattern*. - - link=The link text - - - If no *locatorType* is specified, Selenium uses: - - * **dom**, for locators starting with "document." - * **xpath**, for locators starting with "//" - * **identifier**, otherwise - ---------------- -Element Filters ---------------- - - Element filters can be used with a locator to refine a list of candidate elements. They are currently used only in the 'name' element-locator. - - Filters look much like locators, ie. - - *filterType*\ **=**\ *argument* - - Supported element-filters are: - - **value=**\ *valuePattern* - - Matches elements based on their values. This is particularly useful for refining a list of similarly-named toggle-buttons. - - **index=**\ *index* - - Selects a single element based on its position in the list offset from zero). - ------------------------- -Select Option Specifiers ------------------------- - - Select Option Specifiers provide different ways of specifying options of an HTML Select element (e.g. for selecting a specific option, or for asserting that the selected option satisfies a specification). There are several forms of Select Option Specifier. - - **label=**\ *labelPattern* - matches options based on their labels, i.e. the visible text. - - label=regexp:^[Oo]ther - - **value=**\ *valuePattern* - matches options based on their values. - - value=other - - **id=**\ *id* - matches options based on their ids. - - id=option1 - - **index=**\ *index* - matches an option based on its index (offset from zero). - - index=2 - - If no optionSpecifierType prefix is provided, the default behaviour is to match on **label**. - ------------------------- -String-match Patterns ------------------------- - - Various Pattern syntaxes are available for matching string values: - - **glob:**\ *pattern* - Match a string against a "glob" (aka "wildmat") pattern. "Glob" is a kind of limited regular-expression syntax typically used in command-line shells. In a glob pattern, "*" represents any sequence of characters, and "?" represents any single character. Glob patterns match against the entire string. - - **regexp:**\ *regexp* - Match a string using a regular-expression. The full power of JavaScript regular-expressions is available. - - **exact:**\ *string* - Match a string exactly, verbatim, without any of that fancy wildcard stuff. - - If no pattern prefix is specified, Selenium assumes that it's a "glob" pattern. - ----------------- -Selenium Actions ----------------- - - Actions tell Selenium to do something in the application. They generally represent something a user would do. - - Many **Actions** can be called with the "AndWait" suffix. This suffix tells Selenium that the action will cause the browser to make a call to the server, and that Selenium should wait for a new page to load. - - **open**\ ( *url* ) - - Opens a URL in the test frame. This accepts both relative and absolute URLs. - - The "open" command waits for the page to load before proceeding, - ie. the "AndWait" suffix is implicit. - - *Note*: The URL must be on the same site as Selenium due to security restrictions in the browser (Cross Site Scripting). - - **examples:** - - ==== ================= ===== - open /mypage - open http://localhost/ - ==== ================= ===== - - **click**\ ( *elementLocator* ) - - Clicks on a link, button, checkbox or radio button. - If the click action causes a new page to load (like a link usually does), use "clickAndWait". - - **examples:** - - ============ ================== ===== - click aCheckbox - clickAndWait submitButton - clickAndWait anyLink - ============ ================== ===== - - **type**\ ( *inputLocator*, *value* ) - - Sets the *value* of an input field, as though you typed it in. - - Can also be used to set the value of combo boxes, check boxes, etc. In these cases, *value* should be the value of the option selected, not the visible text. - - **examples:** - - =========== ========================== ========== - type nameField John Smith - typeAndWait textBoxThatSubmitsOnChange newValue - =========== ========================== ========== - - **select**\ ( *dropDownLocator*, *optionSpecifier* ) - - Select an option from a drop-down, based on the *optionSpecifier*. If more than one option matches the specifier (e.g. due to the use of globs like "f*b*", or due to more than one option having the same label or value), then the first matches is selected. - - **examples:** - - ============= ================ ========== - select dropDown Australian Dollars - select dropDown index=0 - selectAndWait currencySelector value=AUD - selectAndWait currencySelector label=Aus*lian D*rs - ============= ================ ========== - - **check**\ ( *toggleButtonLocator* ) - - Check a toggle-button (ie. a check-box or radio-button). - - Note: if addressing the toggle-button element by name, you'll need to append an element-filter (e.g. typically by value), since toggle-button groups consist of input-elements with the same name. - - **examples:** - - ============= ======================== ========== - check name=flavour value=honey - check flavour honey - ============= ======================== ========== - - **uncheck**\ ( *toggleButtonLocator* ) - - Un-check a toggle-button. - - **selectWindow**\ ( *windowId* ) - - Selects a popup window. Once a popup window has been selected, all commands go to that window. To select the main window again, use "null" as the target. - - **target:** The id of the window to select. - - **value:** *ignored* - - **examples:** - - ============ ============= ===== - selectWindow myPopupWindow - selectWindow null - ============ ============= ===== - - **goBack**\ () - - Simulates the user clicking the "back" button on their browser. - - **examples:** - - ============= ==== ===== - goBackAndWait - ============= ==== ===== - - **close**\ () - - Simulates the user clicking the "close" button in the titlebar of a popup window. - - **examples:** - - ====== ==== ===== - close - ====== ==== ===== - - **pause**\ ( *milliseconds* ) - - Pauses the execution of the test script for a specified amount of time. This is useful for debugging a script or pausing to wait for some server side action. - - **examples:** - - ===== ==== ===== - pause 5000 - pause 2000 - ===== ==== ===== - - **fireEvent**\ ( *elementLocator*, *eventName* ) - - Explicitly simulate an event, to trigger the corresponding "on\ *event*" handler. - - **examples:** - - ========= =========== ======== - fireEvent textField focus - fireEvent dropDown blur - ========= =========== ======== - - **waitForValue**\ ( *inputLocator*, *value* ) - - Waits for a specified input (e.g. a hidden field) to have a specified *value*. Will succeed immediately if the input already has the value. This is implemented by polling for the value. Warning: can block indefinitely if the input never has the specified value. - - **example:** - - ============ ================ ========== - waitForValue finishIndication isfinished - ============ ================ ========== - - **store**\ ( *valueToStore*, *variableName* ) - - Stores a value into a variable. The value can be constructed using either variable substitution or JavaScript evaluation, as detailed in 'Parameter construction and Variables' (below). - - **examples:** - - ========== ============================================ ========= - store Mr John Smith fullname - store ${title} ${firstname} ${surname} fullname - store javascript{Math.round(Math.PI * 100) / 100} PI - ========== ============================================ ========= - - **storeValue**\ ( *inputLocator*, *variableName* ) - - Stores the value of an input field into a variable. - - **examples:** - - ========== ========= ========= - storeValue userName userID - type userName ${userID} - ========== ========= ========= - - **storeText**\ ( *elementLocator*, *variableName* ) - - Stores the text of an element into a variable. - - **examples:** - - =========== =========== ==================== - storeText currentDate expectedStartDate - verifyValue startDate ${expectedStartDate} - =========== =========== ==================== - - **storeAttribute**\ ( *elementLocator*\ @\ *attributeName*, *variableName* ) - - Stores the value of an element attribute into a variable. - - **examples:** - - =============== ============== ==================== - storeAttribute input1@\ class classOfInput1 - verifyAttribute input2@\ class ${classOfInput1} - =============== ============== ==================== - - **chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation**\ () - - By default, Selenium's overridden window.confirm() function will - return true, as if the user had manually clicked OK. After running - this command, the next call to confirm() will return false, as if - the user had clicked Cancel. - - **examples:** - - ============================== ===== ===== - chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation - ============================== ===== ===== - - **answerOnNextPrompt**\ ( *answerString* ) - - Instructs Selenium to return the specified *answerString* in - response to the next call to window.prompt(). - - **examples:** - - ========================== ========= ===== - answerOnNextPrompt Kangaroo - ========================== ========= ===== - -------------------- -Selenium Assertions -------------------- - - Assertions are used to verify the state of the application. They can be used to check the value of a form field, the presense of some text, or the URL of the current page. - - All Selenium assertions can be used in 2 modes, "assert" and "verify". These behave identically, except that when an "assert" fails, the test is aborted. When a "verify" fails, the test will continue execution. This allows a single "assert" to ensure that the application is on the correct page, followed by a bunch of "verify" assertions to test form field values, labels, etc. - - A growing number of assertions have a negative version. In most cases, except where indicated, if the positive assertion is of the form **assertXYZ**, then the negative cases will be of the form **assertNotXYZ**. - - **assertLocation**\ ( *relativeLocation* ) - - **examples:** - - ============== ======= ===== - verifyLocation /mypage - assertLocation /mypage - ============== ======= ===== - - **assertTitle**\ ( *titlePattern* ) - - Verifies the title of the current page. - - **examples:** - - =========== ======= ===== - verifyTitle My Page - assertTitle My Page - =========== ======= ===== - - **assertNotTitle**\ ( *titlePattern* ) - - Verifies that the title of the current page does not match the specified pattern. - - **assertValue**\ ( *inputLocator*, *valuePattern* ) - - Verifies the value of an input field (or anything else with a value parameter). For checkbox/radio elements, the value will be "on" or "off" depending on whether the element is checked or not. - - **examples:** - - =========== =========================== ========== - verifyValue nameField John Smith - assertValue document.forms[2].nameField John Smith - =========== =========================== ========== - - **assertNotValue**\ ( *inputLocator*, *valuePattern* ) - - Verifies the value of an input field does not match the specified pattern. - - **assertSelected**\ ( *selectLocator*, *optionSpecifier* ) - - Verifies that the selected option of a drop-down satisfies the *optionSpecifier*. - - **examples:** - - ============== =========================== ========== - verifySelected dropdown2 John Smith - verifySelected dropdown2 value=js*123 - assertSelected document.forms[2].dropDown label=J* Smith - assertSelected document.forms[2].dropDown index=0 - ============== =========================== ========== - - **assertSelectOptions**\ ( *selectLocator*, *optionLabelList* ) - - Verifies the labels of all options in a drop-down against a comma-separated list.

This works for any element that contains text. This command uses either the textContent (Mozilla-like browsers) or the innerText (IE-like browsers) of the element, which is the rendered text shown to the user. - - **examples:** - - ========== ==================== ========== - verifyText statusMessage Successful - assertText //div[@id='foo']//h1 Successful - ========== ==================== ========== - - **assertNotText**\ ( *elementLocator*, *textPattern* ) - - Verifies that the text of an element does not match the specified pattern. - - **assertAttribute**\ ( *elementLocator*\ @\ *attributeName*, *valuePattern* ) - - Verifies the value of an element attribute. - - **examples:** - - =============== ====================== ========== - verifyAttribute txt1@\ class bigAndBold - assertAttribute document.images[0]@alt alt-text - verifyAttribute //img[@id='foo']/@alt alt-text - =============== ====================== ========== - - **assertNotAttribute**\ ( *elementLocator*\ @\ *attributeName*, *valuePattern* ) - - Verifies that the value of an element attribute does not match the specified pattern. - - **assertTextPresent**\ ( *text* ) - - Verifies that the specified text appears somewhere on the rendered page shown to the user. - - **examples:** - - ================= ====================== ===== - verifyTextPresent You are now logged in. - assertTextPresent You are now logged in. - ================= ====================== ===== - - **assertTextNotPresent**\ ( *text* ) - - Verifies that the specified text does NOT appear anywhere on the rendered page. - - **assertElementPresent**\ ( *elementLocator* ) - - Verifies that the specified element is somewhere on the page. - - **examples:** - - ==================== ================= ===== - verifyElementPresent submitButton - assertElementPresent //img[@alt='foo'] - ==================== ================= ===== - - **assertElementNotPresent**\ ( *elementLocator* ) - - Verifies that the specified element is NOT on the page. - - **examples:** - - ======================= ============ ===== - verifyElementNotPresent cancelButton - assertElementNotPresent cancelButton - ======================= ============ ===== - - **assertTable**\( *cellAddress*, *valuePattern* ) - - Verifies the text in a cell of a table.

Note that this will fail if the table cell does not exist. - - **assertVisible**\ ( *elementLocator* ) - - Verifies that the specified element is both present *and* visible. An element can be rendered invisible by setting the CSS "visibility" property to "hidden", or the "display" property to "none", either for the element itself or one if its ancestors. - - **examples:** - - ============= ======== ===== - verifyVisible postcode - assertVisible postcode - ============= ======== ===== - - **assertNotVisible**\ ( *elementLocator* ) - - Verifies that the specified element is NOT visible.

Alerts must be verified in the order - that they were generated. - - **examples:** - - ============== ==================== ===== - verifyAlert Invalid Phone Number - assertAlert Invalid Phone Number - ============== ==================== ===== - - **assertConfirmation**\ ( *messagePattern* ) - - Verifies that a JavaScript confirmation dialog was generated, with - the specified message. - - By default, the confirm function will return true, having the same - effect as manually clicking OK. This can be changed by prior - execution of the **chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation** command (see - above). - - Like alerts, any unexpected confirmation will cause the test to - fail, and confirmations must be verified in the order that they - were generated. - - **examples:** - - ================== ==================== ===== - assertConfirmation Remove this user? - verifyConfirmation Are you sure? - ================== ==================== ===== - - **assertPrompt**\ ( *messagePattern* ) - - Verifies that a JavaScript prompt dialog was generated, with the - specified message. - - Successful handling of the prompt requires prior execution of the - **answerOnNextPrompt** command (see above). - - Like alerts, unexpected prompts will cause the test to fail, and - they must be verified in the order that they were generated. - - **examples:** - - ================== ============================= ===== - answerOnNextPrompt Joe - click id=delegate - verifyPrompt Delegate to who? - ================== ============================= ===== - -------------------------------------------- -Handling of alert(), confirm() and prompt() -------------------------------------------- - - Selenium overrides the default implementations of the JavaScript - window.alert(), window.confirm() and window.prompt() functions, - enabling tests to simulate the actions of the user when these occur. - Under normal condition, no visible JavaScript dialog-box will appear. - - If your application generates alerts, confirmations, or prompts, you - *must* use assertAlert, assertConfirmation and assertPrompt (or their - "verify" equivalents) to handle them. Any unhandled alerts will result - in the test failing. - - *PROVISO:* Selenium is unable to handle alerts, confirmations, or - prompts raised during processing of the 'onload' event. In such cases - a visible dialog-box WILL appear, and Selenium will hang until you - manually handle it. This is an unfortunate restriction, but at this - time we have no solution. - ------------------------------------- -Parameter construction and Variables ------------------------------------- - - All Selenium command parameters can be constructed using both simple - variable substitution as well as full JavaScript. Both of these - mechanisms can access previously stored variables, but do so using - different syntax. - - **Stored Variables** - - The commands *store*, *storeValue* and *storeText* 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. - - **Variable substitution** - - 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. - - Example: - - ========== ==================== ========== - store Mr title - storeValue nameField surname - store ${title} ${surname} fullname - type textElement Full name is: ${fullname} - ========== ==================== ========== - - **JavaScript evaluation** - - JavaScript evaluation provides the full power of JavaScript in constructing a command parameter. - To use this mechanism, the *entire* 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 *storedVars* map detailed above. - Note that variable substitution cannot be combined with JavaScript evaluation. - - Example: - - ========== ================================================ ========== - store javascript{'merchant' + (new Date()).getTime()} merchantId - type textElement javascript{storedVars['merchantId'].toUpperCase()} - ========== ================================================ ========== - ------------------- -Extending Selenium ------------------- - - It can be quite simple to extend Selenium, adding your own actions, assertions 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, assertions and locators. - - The following examples try to give an indication of how Selenium can be extended with JavaScript. - -**Actions** - - All *doFoo* methods on the Selenium prototype are added as actions. For each action *foo* there - is also an action *fooAndWait* registered. An action method can take up to 2 parameters, which - will be passed the second and third column values in the test. - - Example: Add a "typeRepeated" action to Selenium, which types the text twice into a text box. - - :: - - 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); - }; - -**Assertions** - - All *assertFoo* methods on the Selenium prototype are added as - assertions. For each assertion *foo* there is an *assertFoo* and - *verifyFoo* registered. An assert method can take up to 2 parameters, - which will be passed the second and third column values in the test. - - Example: Add a *valueRepeated* assertion, that makes sure that the - element value consists of the supplied text repeated. The 2 commands - that would be available in tests would be *assertValueRepeated* and - *verifyValueRepeated*. - - :: - - Selenium.prototype.assertValueRepeated = function(locator, text) { - // All locator-strategies are automatically handled by "findElement" - var element = this.page().findElement(locator); - - // Create the text to verify - var expectedValue = text + text; - - // Get the actual element value - var actualValue = element.value; - - // Make sure the actual value matches the expected - Assert.matches(expectedValue, actualValue); - }; - -**Locator Strategies** - - All *locateElementByFoo* methods on the PageBot prototype are added as locator-strategies. A locator strategy takes 2 parameters, the first being the locator string (minus the prefix), and the second being the document in which to search. - - Example: Add a "valuerepeated=" locator, that finds the first element a value attribute equal to the the supplied value repeated. - - :: - - // The "inDocument" is a the document you are searching. - PageBot.prototype.locateElementByValueRepeated = function(text, inDocument) { - // Create the text to search for - var expectedValue = text + text; - - // Loop through all elements, looking for ones that have - // a value === our expected value - var allElements = inDocument.getElementsByTagName("*"); - for (var i = 0; i < allElements.length; i++) { - var testElement = allElements[i]; - if (testElement.value && testElement.value === expectedValue) { - return testElement; - } - } - return null; - }; - -**user-extensions.js** - - By default, Selenium looks for a file called "user-extensions.js", and loads the JavaScript code found in that file. This file provides a convenient location for adding features to Selenium, without needing to modify the core Selenium sources. - - In the standard distibution, this file does not exist. Users can create this file and place their extension code in this common location, removing the need to modify the Selenium sources, and hopefully assisting with the upgrade process. - ------------------- - -: diff --git a/tests/FunctionalTests/selenium/doc/testRunner.txt b/tests/FunctionalTests/selenium/doc/testRunner.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 56b949d2..00000000 --- a/tests/FunctionalTests/selenium/doc/testRunner.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,99 +0,0 @@ -========================= -TestRunner Reference -========================= ------------ -Test Suites ------------ - - A test suite is represented by an HTML document containing a single-column table.

Finally, we made a /tearDownFT URL which takes the dummy userID as a parameter and deletes the user. Therefore, our tests look like this: - - ========== ============================ ========== - Setup and Teardown - ------------------------------------------------------ - open /setUpFT - storeValue userid - open /login - type userID ${userid} - click submit - open /tearDownFT?userid=${userid} - ========== ============================ ========== - - ----------------------- -Continuous Integration ----------------------- - - Selenium can be integrated with an automated build.
