Mocha Selenium
Everything you need for selenium testing in node.js.
There are two parts: the library and the runner.
The library provides you with the setup()
function which returns a driver that is instrumented to make your tests simple, semantic, and easy to use. Among other things, it is automatically initialized in a before()
clause, destroyed in an after()
clause, and will even fire up an instance of your app & a webdriver server if you need them!
The runner is configured with a selenium.json
file, and will run your mocha test files in series or in parallel, for any number of browsers. Installing it with npm install -g mocha-selenium
will give you the mocha-selenium
command on your path.
The Library
Has a bunch of options. Some of the options are default to ENV variables if they are present. Read the docs for a thorough description.
Here's an example:
var expect = b = ;
Convenience functions added to the driver
In addition to the normal wd methods, there are the following:
General Methods
ensureCookie(name, value, done(err))
On the current page, if the cookie by the name of name
with value
value
does not exist, set the cookie and refresh the page.
If value is a function, it is called with the current value of the cookie. If it returns a value other than the current cookie value, the cookie is set to that value.
fillInForm(data, [formSelector,] done(err))
Data is a map of "input name": "value to type"
. If formSelector
is
given, only inputs that are children of the given selector will be
filled in. Otherwise, the first input in the document with the given
name
will be populated.
rel(url, done(err))
Gets b.baseUrl + url
.
Element-specific methods
The following suffixes are available for these methods, mirroring the wd
library:
ByClassName, ByCssSelector, ById, ByName, ByLinkText, ByPartialLinkText, ByTagName, ByXPath, ByCss.
I will use the ByCss
suffix for demonstration.
- textByCss(selector, done(err, text, element))
- visibleByCss(selector, done(err, isVisible, element))
- valueByCss(selector, done(err, value, element))
- clickByCss(selector, done(err, element))
- waitAndGet(selector, timeout, done(err, element))
- waitAndClickByCss(selector, timeout, done(err, element))
The Runner
Run your mocha selenium tests in parallel in mutliple browsers.
Usage
Usage: mocha-selenium [options]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-e, --environment [env] Pick the environment to run (host + browsers). Default: local
-p, --parallel Run the tests in parallel. Default: false
-c, --config [file] Specify the config file. Default: ./selenium.json
Config
files: // filename or glob, or list of filenames or globs envs: // a map of [envname] to an environment definition. local: browserdef ... OR browsers: browserdef ... inherits: // name or list of names of other environemnts. Their // browserdefs will be appended to the current env. // if no hostname is given, mocha-selenium will start its own // selenium drivers. Currently phantomjs and chrome are supported hostname: "ondemand.saucelabs.com" port: 80 auth: type: 'plain' username: 'MyName' password: 'secret' OR type: 'env' // the username and password are environmental variables username: 'SAUCE_USERNAME' password: 'SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY' otherenv: ... ...
Browserdef:
["browsername", "version", "platform"]
ex:
["internet explorer", "8", "Windows XP"]
