+<h1>Selenium Reference</h1>
+<h2>Concepts</h2>
+<p>A <strong>command</strong> is what tells Selenium what to do. Selenium commands come in three 'flavors': <strong>Actions</strong>, <strong>Accessors</strong> and <strong>Assertions</strong>.
+ Each command call is one line in the test table of the form:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<table border="1" class="table">
+<colgroup>
+<col width="39%">
+<col width="33%">
+<col width="28%">
+</colgroup>
+<tbody valign="top">
+<tr>
+<td>command</td><td>target</td><td>value</td>
+</tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+</blockquote>
+<p>
+<strong>Actions</strong> 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.</p>
+<p>Many Actions can be called with the "AndWait" suffix, e.g. "clickAndWait".
+ 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.</p>
+<p>
+<strong>Accessors</strong> examine the state of the application and store the results in variables, e.g. "storeTitle". They are also used to automatically generate Assertions.</p>
+<p>
+<strong>Assertions</strong> are like Accessors, but they verify that 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".</p>
+<p>All Selenium Assertions can be used in 3 modes: "assert", "verify", and "waitFor". For example, you can "assertText", "verifyText" and "waitForText". When an "assert" fails, the test is aborted. When a "verify" fails, the test will continue execution, logging the failure. 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.</p>
+<p>"waitFor" commands wait for some condition to become true (which can be useful for testing Ajax applications).
+ They will succeed immediately if the condition is already true.
+ However, they will fail and halt the test if the condition does not become true within the current timeout setting
+ (see the <strong>setTimeout</strong> action below).
+ </p>
+<p>
+<strong>Element Locators</strong> 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.</p>
+<p>
+<strong>Patterns</strong> 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.</p>Defines an object that runs Selenium commands.
+
+<h3>
+<a name="locators"></a>Element Locators</h3>
+<p>
+Element Locators tell Selenium which HTML element a command refers to.
+The format of a locator is:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<em>locatorType</em><strong>=</strong><em>argument</em>
+</blockquote>
+<p>
+We support the following strategies for locating elements:
+</p>
+<blockquote>
+<dl>
+<dt>
+<strong>identifier</strong>=<em>id</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>Select the element with the specified @id attribute. If no match is
+found, select the first element whose @name attribute is <em>id</em>.
+(This is normally the default; see below.)</dd>
+<dt>
+<strong>id</strong>=<em>id</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>Select the element with the specified @id attribute.</dd>
+<dt>
+<strong>name</strong>=<em>name</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>Select the first element with the specified @name attribute.</dd>
+<dd>
+<ul class="first last simple">
+<li>username</li>
+<li>name=username</li>
+</ul>
+</dd>
+<dd>The name may optionally be followed by one or more <em>element-filters</em>, separated from the name by whitespace. If the <em>filterType</em> is not specified, <strong>value</strong> is assumed.</dd>
+<dd>
+<ul class="first last simple">
+<li>name=flavour value=chocolate</li>
+</ul>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+<strong>dom</strong>=<em>javascriptExpression</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<dd>Find an element using JavaScript traversal of the HTML Document Object
+Model. DOM locators <em>must</em> begin with "document.".
+<ul class="first last simple">
+<li>dom=document.forms['myForm'].myDropdown</li>
+<li>dom=document.images[56]</li>
+</ul>
+</dd>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+<strong>xpath</strong>=<em>xpathExpression</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>Locate an element using an XPath expression.
+<ul class="first last simple">
+<li>xpath=//img[@alt='The image alt text']</li>
+<li>xpath=//table[@id='table1']//tr[4]/td[2]</li>
+</ul>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+<strong>link</strong>=<em>textPattern</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>Select the link (anchor) element which contains text matching the
+specified <em>pattern</em>.
+<ul class="first last simple">
+<li>link=The link text</li>
+</ul>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+<strong>css</strong>=<em>cssSelectorSyntax</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>Select the element using css selectors. Please refer to <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html">CSS2 selectors</a>, <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/CR-css3-selectors-20011113/">CSS3 selectors</a> for more information. You can also check the TestCssLocators test in the selenium test suite for an example of usage, which is included in the downloaded selenium core package.
+<ul class="first last simple">
+<li>css=a[href="#id3"]</li>
+<li>css=span#firstChild + span</li>
+</ul>
+</dd>
+<dd>Currently the css selector locator supports all css1, css2 and css3 selectors except namespace in css3, some pseudo classes(:nth-of-type, :nth-last-of-type, :first-of-type, :last-of-type, :only-of-type, :visited, :hover, :active, :focus, :indeterminate) and pseudo elements(::first-line, ::first-letter, ::selection, ::before, ::after). </dd>
+</dl>
+</blockquote>
+<p>
+Without an explicit locator prefix, Selenium uses the following default
+strategies:
+</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>
+<strong>dom</strong>, for locators starting with "document."</li>
+<li>
+<strong>xpath</strong>, for locators starting with "//"</li>
+<li>
+<strong>identifier</strong>, otherwise</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>
+<a name="element-filters">Element Filters</a>
+</h3>
+<blockquote>
+<p>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.</p>
+<p>Filters look much like locators, ie.</p>
+<blockquote>
+<em>filterType</em><strong>=</strong><em>argument</em>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Supported element-filters are:</p>
+<p>
+<strong>value=</strong><em>valuePattern</em>
+</p>
+<blockquote>
+Matches elements based on their values. This is particularly useful for refining a list of similarly-named toggle-buttons.</blockquote>
+<p>
+<strong>index=</strong><em>index</em>
+</p>
+<blockquote>
+Selects a single element based on its position in the list (offset from zero).</blockquote>
+</blockquote>
+<h3>
+<a name="patterns"></a>String-match Patterns</h3>
+<p>
+Various Pattern syntaxes are available for matching string values:
+</p>
+<blockquote>
+<dl>
+<dt>
+<strong>glob:</strong><em>pattern</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>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.</dd>
+<dt>
+<strong>regexp:</strong><em>regexp</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>Match a string using a regular-expression. The full power of JavaScript
+regular-expressions is available.</dd>
+<dt>
+<strong>exact:</strong><em>string</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>Match a string exactly, verbatim, without any of that fancy wildcard
+stuff.</dd>
+</dl>
+</blockquote>
+<p>
+If no pattern prefix is specified, Selenium assumes that it's a "glob"
+pattern.

+<p>Selenium constantly keeps track of new pages loading, and sets a "newPageLoaded"
+flag when it first notices a page load. Running any other Selenium command after
+turns the flag to false. Hence, if you want to wait for a page to load, you must

+<a name="parameter-construction-and-variables">Parameter construction and Variables</a>
+</h2>
+<blockquote>
+<p>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.</p>
+<p>
+<a name="storedVars"></a><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>

+<a name="extending-selenium">Extending Selenium</a>
+</h2>
+<blockquote>
+<p>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.</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>Accessors/Assertions</strong>
+</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>All <em>getFoo</em> and <em>isFoo</em> methods on the Selenium prototype are added as accessors (storeFoo). For each accessor there
+ is an <em>assertFoo</em>, <em>verifyFoo</em> and <em>waitForFoo</em> registered. An assert method can take up to 2 parameters, which
+ will be passed the second and third column values in the test. You can also define your own assertions literally
+ as simple "assert" methods, which will also auto-generate "verify" and "waitFor" commands.</p>
+<p>Example: Add a <em>valueRepeated</em> 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
+ <em>assertValueRepeated</em> and <em>verifyValueRepeated</em>.</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+ 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);
+ };
+ </pre>
+</blockquote>
+<p>
+<strong>Automatic availability of storeFoo, assertFoo, assertNotFoo, waitForFoo and waitForNotFoo for every getFoo</strong>
+</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>All <em>getFoo</em> and <em>isFoo</em> methods on the Selenium prototype automatically result in the availability
+ of storeFoo, assertFoo, assertNotFoo, verifyFoo, verifyNotFoo, waitForFoo, and waitForNotFoo commands.</p>
+<p>Example, if you add a getTextLength() method, the following commands will automatically be available:
+ storeTextLength, assertTextLength, assertNotTextLength, verifyTextLength, verifyNotTextLength, waitForTextLength, and waitForNotTextLength commands.</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+ Selenium.prototype.getTextLength = function(locator, text) {
+ return this.getText(locator).length;
+ };
+ </pre>
+<p>Also note that the <em>assertValueRepeated</em> method described above could have been implemented using
+ isValueRepeated, with the added benefit of also automatically getting assertNotValueRepeated, storeValueRepeated,
+ waitForValueRepeated and waitForNotValueRepeated.</p>
+</blockquote>
+<p>
+<strong>Locator Strategies</strong>
+</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>All <em>locateElementByFoo</em> 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.</p>
+<p>Example: Add a "valuerepeated=" locator, that finds the first element a value attribute equal to the the supplied value repeated.</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+ // 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 &lt; allElements.length; i++) {
+ var testElement = allElements[i];
+ if (testElement.value &amp;&amp; testElement.value === expectedValue) {
+ return testElement;
+ }
+ }
+ return null;
+ };
+ </pre>
+</blockquote>
+<p>
+<strong>user-extensions.js</strong>
+</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>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.</p>
+<p>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.</p>
