NAME

Test::Selenium::Remote::Driver

DESCRIPTION

A subclass of Selenium::Remote::Driver. which provides useful testing functions.

This is an experimental addition to the Selenium::Remote::Driver distribution, and some interfaces may change.

Methods

new ( %opts )

This will create a new Test::Selenium::Remote::Driver object, which subclasses Selenium::Remote::Driver. This subclass provides useful testing functions. It is modeled on Test::WWW::Selenium.

Environment vars can be used to specify options to pass to Selenium::Remote::Driver. ENV vars are prefixed with TWD_. ( After the old fork name, "Test::WebDriver" )

Set the Selenium server address with $TWD_HOST and $TWD_PORT.

Pick which browser is used using the $TWD_BROWSER, $TWD_VERSION, $TWD_PLATFORM, $TWD_JAVASCRIPT, $TWD_EXTRA_CAPABILITIES.

See Selenium::Driver::Remote for the meanings of these options.

server_is_running( $host, $port )

Returns true if a Selenium server is running. The host and port parameters are optional, and default to localhost:4444.

Environment vars TWD_HOST and TWD_PORT can also be used to determine the server to check.

Testing Methods

The following testing methods are available. For more documentation, see the related test methods in Selenium::Remote::Driver (And feel free to submit a patch to flesh out the documentation for these here).

$twd->type_element_ok($search_target, $keys, [, $desc ]);

$twd->type_element_ok( $search_target, $keys [, $desc ] );

Use "find_element" in Selenium::Remote::Driver to resolve the $search_target to a web element, and then type $keys into it, providing an optional test label.

Currently, other finders besides the default are not supported for type_ok().

$twd->find_element_ok($search_target [, $desc ]);

$twd->find_element_ok( $search_target [, $desc ] );

Returns true if $search_target is successfully found on the page. $search_target is passed to "find_element" in Selenium::Remote::Driver using the default_finder. See there for more details on the format. Currently, other finders besides the default are not supported for find_element_ok().

$twd->find_no_element_ok($search_target [, $desc ]);

$twd->find_no_element_ok( $search_target [, $desc ] );

Returns true if $search_target is not found on the page. $search_target is passed to "find_element" in Selenium::Remote::Driver using the default_finder. See there for more details on the format. Currently, other finders besides the default are not supported for find_no_element_ok().

$twd->content_like( $regex [, $desc ] )

$twd->content_like( $regex [, $desc ] )
$twd->content_like( [$regex_1, $regex_2] [, $desc ] )

Tells if the content of the page matches $regex. If an arrayref of regex's are provided, one 'test' is run for each regex against the content of the current page.

A default description of 'Content is like "$regex"' will be provided if there is no description.

$twd->content_unlike( $regex [, $desc ] )

$twd->content_unlike( $regex [, $desc ] )
$twd->content_unlike( [$regex_1, $regex_2] [, $desc ] )

Tells if the content of the page does NOT match $regex. If an arrayref of regex's are provided, one 'test' is run for each regex against the content of the current page.

A default description of 'Content is unlike "$regex"' will be provided if there is no description.

$twd->body_text_like( $regex [, $desc ] )

$twd->body_text_like( $regex [, $desc ] )
$twd->body_text_like( [$regex_1, $regex_2] [, $desc ] )

Tells if the text of the page (as returned by get_body()) matches $regex. If an arrayref of regex's are provided, one 'test' is run for each regex against the content of the current page.

A default description of 'Content is like "$regex"' will be provided if there is no description.

To also match the HTML see, content_unlike().

$twd->body_text_unlike( $regex [, $desc ] )

$twd->body_text_unlike( $regex [, $desc ] )
$twd->body_text_unlike( [$regex_1, $regex_2] [, $desc ] )

Tells if the text of the page (as returned by get_body()) does NOT match $regex. If an arrayref of regex's are provided, one 'test' is run for each regex against the content of the current page.

A default description of 'Text is unlike "$regex"' will be provided if there is no description.

To also match the HTML see, content_unlike().

$twd->content_contains( $str [, $desc ] )

$twd->content_contains( $str [, $desc ] )
$twd->content_contains( [$str_1, $str_2] [, $desc ] )

Tells if the content of the page contains $str. If an arrayref of strngs's are provided, one 'test' is run for each string against the content of the current page.

A default description of 'Content contains "$str"' will be provided if there is no description.

$twd->content_lacks( $str [, $desc ] )

$twd->content_lacks( $str [, $desc ] )
$twd->content_lacks( [$str_1, $str_2] [, $desc ] )

Tells if the content of the page does NOT contain $str. If an arrayref of strings are provided, one 'test' is run for each string against the content of the current page.

NOTES

This module was forked from Test::WebDriver 0.01.

For Best Practice - I recommend subclassing Test::Selenium::Remote::Driver for your application, and then refactoring common or app specific methods into MyApp::WebDriver so that your test files do not have much duplication. As your app changes, you can update MyApp::WebDriver rather than all the individual test files.

AUTHORS

  • Created by: Luke Closs <lukec@cpan.org>, but inspired by Test::WWW::Selenium and its authors.

CONTRIBUTORS

Test::WebDriver work was sponsored by Prime Radiant, Inc. Mark Stosberg <mark@stosberg.com> forked it as Test::Selenium::Remote::Driver and significantly expanded it.
