Sat, 08 Jul 2006As I mentioned in my talk at RailsConf, I needed to update the Selenium RubyGem to get it up-to-date. The gem is now available: gem install selenium. This will give you the latest release (0.7) of Selenium Core. In previous Selenium gems there were a few crufty Ruby files in there, but these have now been extracted to Selenium Remote Control. This update is mostly for Jonas and Bret.
[/projects/selenium] permanent link Tue, 02 May 2006The Selenium RubyGem on RubyForge was woefully out of date. Until today. It now contains the current Selenium release (0.6). Thanks to Jon for holding my hand as I created my first gemspec and to Jonas for his excellent Selenium on Rails plugin, which was the impetus for this update.[/projects/selenium] permanent link Fri, 17 Mar 2006My Selenium on Rails proposal was accepted for RailsConf 2006. Attendees can look forward to practical examples of all types of Selenium tests extracted from Real Life Project(s). You can also look forward to no slides, just code. See you in June![/projects/selenium] permanent link Fri, 09 Dec 2005Once again I find myself distracted from my writing. Last time it was Ajax, and this time it's the killer combination of Rails and Selenium. I've joined the Selenium project to help improve the dynamic language drivers. My first goal is to integrate "driven" Selenium with Rails. Last night I spiked it against a partially developed Depot. Here's the test case:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/seletest"
class ExampleTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_something
open '/admin/list'
verify_text_present 'Listing products'
click_and_wait 'newProduct'
click_and_wait 'commit'
verify_text_present 'Price should be positive'
end
end
And here's a screenshot of Selenium driving Rails.
As I added to the number and complexity of test cases, I followed Brian's advice and moved to a more declarative style. I'll have more to say about this in the weeks ahead.
