Selenium Probe (WebDriver)¶

A Web driver using Selenium WebDriver.

Identification and Properties¶

Probe Type ID: selenium.webdriver

Properties:

Name	Type	Default value	Description
`rc_host`	string	`localhost`	Selenium server hostname or IP address
`rc_port`	integer	`4444`	Selenium server port
`browser`	string	`firefox`	The browser Selenium should use on the Selenium host
`server_url`	string	`None`	The server URL to browse when opening the browser. Providing it is mandatory.
`auto_shutdown`	boolean	`True`	When set, Selenium closes the browser window when the test case is over. It may be convenient to set it to False to leave this window open to debug a test case on error.

Overview¶

This probe enables Testerman to perform Selenium-based tests through the Selenium Webdriver using a standalone Selenium Server.

The probe automatically starts the browser on the host as soon as it is mapped, and everything is cleaned up once the test case is over.

A basic example is available in samples/selenium_webdriver.ats.

Availability¶

All platforms.

Dependencies¶

The probe needs a configured (and running) Selenium Server that it can reach (depending on the browser, you may need different servers).[[BR]] You may install it on the host you want to run the browsers from.
