Overview

Main Selenium-test class, and wrapper for all Selenium method calls. This class is intended to be instantiated in a FitNesse / Slim script table. May be customized or extended using a subclass.

@note: Function names beginning with the words 'check', 'ensure', 'reject', 'note', 'show', or 'start' cannot be called from a Slim script table, since these are keywords that receive special handling by Slim.

Examples:

!| script | selenium test | http://www.example.com/ |
| script | selenium test | !-http://www.example.com/-! |

Constructor Details

- (SeleniumTest) initialize(url, options = {})

Initialize a test, connecting to the given Selenium server.

Examples:

| script | selenium test | http://site.to.test/ |
| script | selenium test | http://site.to.test/ | !{host:192.168.0.3} |
| script | selenium test | http://site.to.test/ | !{host:192.168.0.3, port:4445} |
| script | selenium test | http://site.to.test/ | !{stop_on_failure:true} |
| script | selenium test | http://site.to.test/ | !{study:Auto} |

Parameters:

  • url (String) —

    Full URL, including http://, of the system under test. Any HTML tags around the URL will be stripped.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Additional configuration settings

Options Hash (options):

  • :host (String) —

    IP address or hostname where selenium-server is running

  • :port (String) —

    Port number of selenium-server

  • :browser (String) —

    Which browser to run. Should be a string like '*firefox' (default), '*googlechrome', '*opera', '*iexplore', '*safari' etc.

  • :stop_on_failure (String, Boolean) —

    true or 'true' to abort the test when a failure occurs; false or 'false' to continue execution when failure occurs.

  • :study (String, Integer) —

    How many steps have to be done at once to force studying. Default is 'Never' (0). Other accepted strings are 'Always' (1), 'Auto' (matic) (10 for most browsers and 1 for Internet Explorer), or an integer. Unrecognized strings result in the default.

  • :timeout (String, Integer) —

    Default timeout in seconds. This determines how long the open method will wait for the page to load, as well as the default timeout for methods like see_within_seconds, do_not_see_within_seconds, and see_alert_within_seconds.

end

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

- (Object) method_missing(method, *args, &block)

Invoke a missing method. If a method is called on a SeleniumTest instance, and that method is not explicitly defined, this method will check to see whether the underlying Selenium::Client::Driver instance can respond to that method. If so, that method is called instead.

Prefixing a method with "check_" will verify the return string against the last argument. This allows checking string values within an if block.

Since:

  • 0.0.6

Instance Method Details

- (Object) begin_scenario

Begin a new scenario, and forget about any previous failures. This allows you to modularize your tests into standalone sections that can run independently of previous scenarios, regardless of whether those scenarios passed or failed.

Examples:

| Begin scenario |

  • 0.0.9

def begin_scenario
  @found_failure = false
  @errors = []
  return true
end

- (Object) begin_study

Study the current web page, for more efficient parsing and data retrieval on the Rsel side rather than the Selenium browser side. Named for the Perl "study" command. Like its namesake, begin_study takes some time.

Warning: When you study, you can learn information more quickly, but you may not be aware of what's going on around you! If any action you perform has side-effects on the web page, you may not notice them while studying is on. This is why so many methods call #end_study automatically. But many cases remain where you could get into trouble if you forget this.

Note: Calling this twice in a row without an intervening end_study will result in the first end_study not actually ending studying. Again, many methods call end_study, so this is a possible, but unlikely, problem.

    A Locator or a name listed in the ids hash below. If a name listed in the ids below, this field is case-insensitive.

  • value (String) —

    Plain text to go into a field

  • ids (defaults to: {}) —

    A hash mapping common names to Locators. (Optional, but redundant without it) The hash keys are case-insensitive.

- (Object) fields_equal_among(fields = {}, ids = {}, scope = {})

Check values (with #set_field) in the named fields, based on the given name/value pairs, and with mapping of names in the ids field. Uses Rsel::Support#escape_for_hash to allow certain characters in FitNesse. Note: Order of entries is not guaranteed, and depends on the version of Ruby on your server!

Examples:

Suppose you have a nasty form whose fields have nasty locators.
Suppose further that you want to fill in this form, many times, filling
in different fields different ways.
Begin by creating a Scenario table:

    | scenario | Check nasty form fields | values |
    | fields equal | @values | among | !{Name:id=nasty_field_name_1,Email:id=nasty_field_name_2,E-mail:id=nasty_field_name_2,Send me spam:id=nasty_checkbox_name_1} |

Using that you can now say something like:

    | Check nasty form fields | !{Name:Ken,email:ken@kensaddress.com,send me spam: no} |

Or:

    | Check nasty form fields | !{Name:Ken,Send me Spam: no} |

Or:

    | Check nasty form fields | !{name:Ken,e-mail:,SEND ME SPAM: yes} |

Parameters:

  • fields (defaults to: {}) —

    A key-value hash where the keys are keys of the ids hash (case-insensitive), or Locators (case-sensitive), and the values are the string values you want in the fields.

  • ids (defaults to: {}) —

    A hash mapping common names to Locators. (Optional, but redundant without it) The hash keys are case-insensitive.

  • input
    • type=button*
    • type=checkbox
    • type=image*
    • type=radio*

    • type=submit*
    • type=text
  • select
  • textarea

* Value is ignored: this control type is just clicked/selected.

Parameters:

  • locator (String) —

    Label, name, or id of the field control. Identification by non-Selenium methods may not work for some links and buttons.

  • value (String) (defaults to: '') —

    Value you want to verify the field equal to. (Default: empty string.) Parsed by Rsel::Support#string_is_true?

    • type=button*
    • type=checkbox
    • type=image*
    • type=radio*
    • type=reset*
    • type=submit*
    • type=text
  • select
  • textarea

* Value is ignored: this control type is just clicked/selected.

Parameters:

  • locator (String) —

    Label, name, or id of the field control. Identification by non-Selenium methods may not work for some links and buttons.

  • value (String) (defaults to: '') —

    Value you want to set the field to. (Default: empty string.) Parsed by Rsel::Support#string_is_true?

- (Object) set_field_among(field, value, ids = {}, scope = {})

Set a value (with #set_field) in the named field, based on the given name/value pairs. Uses Rsel::Support#escape_for_hash to allow certain characters in FitNesse.

Parameters:

  • field (String) —

    A Locator or a name listed in the ids hash below. If a name listed in the ids below, this field is case-insensitive.

  • value (String) —

    Plain text to go into a field

  • ids (defaults to: {}) —

    A hash mapping common names to Locators. (Optional, but redundant without it) The hash keys are case-insensitive.

  end
end

- (Object) set_fields(fields = {}, scope = {})

Set values (with #set_field) in the named fields of a hash, based on the given name/value pairs. Uses Rsel::Support#escape_for_hash to allow certain characters in FitNesse. Note: Order of entries is not guaranteed, and depends on the version of Ruby on your server!

Parameters:

  • fields (defaults to: {}) —

    A key-value hash where the keys are Locators (case-sensitive) and the values are the string values you want in the fields.

- (Object) set_fields_among(fields = {}, ids = {}, scope = {})

Set values (with #set_field) in the named fields, based on the given name/value pairs, and with mapping of names in the ids field. Uses Rsel::Support#escape_for_hash to allow certain characters in FitNesse. Note: Order of entries is not guaranteed, and depends on the version of Ruby on your server!

Examples:

Suppose you have a nasty form whose fields have nasty locators. Suppose
further that you want to fill in this form, many times, filling in
different fields different ways. Begin by creating a Scenario table:

    | scenario | Set nasty form fields | values |
    | Set | @values | fields among | !{Name:id=nasty_field_name_1,Email:id=nasty_field_name_2,E-mail:id=nasty_field_name_2,Send me spam:id=nasty_checkbox_name_1} |

Using that you can now say something like:

    | Set nasty form fields | !{Name:Ken,email:ken@kensaddress.com,send me spam: no} |

Or:

    | Set nasty form fields | !{Name:Ken,Send me Spam: no} |

Or:

    | Set nasty form fields | !{name:Ken,e-mail:,SEND ME SPAM: yes} |

Parameters:

  • fields (defaults to: {}) —

    A key-value hash where the keys are keys of the ids hash (case-insensitive), or Locators (case-sensitive), and the values are the string values you want in the fields.

  • ids (defaults to: {}) —

    A hash mapping common names to Locators. (Optional, but redundant without it) The hash keys are case-insensitive.
