Test::WWW::Selenium(3)

NAME
Test::WWW::Selenium - Test applications using Selenium Remote Control

VERSION
version 1.36

SYNOPSIS
Test::WWW::Selenium is a subclass of WWW::Selenium that provides convenient testing functions.

    use Test::More tests => 5;
    use Test::WWW::Selenium;

    # Parameters are passed through to WWW::Selenium
    my $sel = Test::WWW::Selenium->new( host => "localhost",
                                        port => 4444,
                                        browser => "*firefox",
                                        browser_url => "http://www.google.com",
                                        default_names => 1,
                                        error_callback => sub { ... },
                                      );

    # use special test wrappers around WWW::Selenium commands:
    $sel->open_ok("http://www.google.com", undef, "fetched G's site alright");
    $sel->type_ok( "q", "hello world");
    $sel->click_ok("btnG");
    $sel->wait_for_page_to_load_ok(5000);
    $sel->title_like(qr/Google Search/);
    $sel->error_callback(sub {...});

DESCRIPTION
This module is a WWW::Selenium subclass providing some methods useful for writing tests. For each Selenium command (open, click, type, ...) there is a corresponding "<command>_ok" method that checks the return value (open_ok, click_ok, type_ok).

For each Selenium getter (get_title, ...) there are four autogenerated methods ("<getter>_is", "<getter>_isnt", "<getter>_like", "<getter>_unlike") to check the value of the attribute.

By calling the constructor with "default_names" set to a true value your tests will be given a reasonable name should you choose not to provide one of your own. The test name should always be the third argument.

NAME
Test::WWW::Selenium - Test applications using Selenium Remote Control

REQUIREMENTS
To use this module, you need to have already downloaded and started the Selenium Server. (The Selenium Server is a Java application.)

ADDITIONAL METHODS
Test::WWW::Selenium also provides some other handy testing functions that wrap WWW::Selenium commands:

get_location
    Returns the relative location of the current page. Works with _is, _like, ... methods.

error_callback
    Sets the method to use when a corresponding selenium test is called and fails. For example if you call text_like(...) and it fails the sub defined in the error_callback will be called. This allows you to perform various tasks to obtain additional details that occured when obtianing the error. If this is set to undef then the callback will not be issued.

$sel->debug()
    Starts an interactive shell to pass commands to Selenium.

    Commands are run against the selenium object, so you just need to type:

eg: click("link=edit")
