similar to: stories with selenium and the db

I have been using Rspec stories with Webrat feeling very productive and happy. Then I needed to do something with Selenium (Webrat could have done what I needed but it does not yet have the functionality). Selenium-core as part of a rails plugin looked nice but did not seem to fit with rspec stories. So I went the Selenium-rc route. Since Selenium uses a separate instance of rails

Hope all is well, Striaght to the point I wonder if someone has any ideas to help me with the following problem: I have written an automation framework in ruby, that uses selenium and rspec and is run by an ant task, as thats the build process that is implemented here. Im currently running all my spec tests in firefox on my local machine by passing the selenium variable: @selenium =

Does anyone have links to any complete Selenium docs or tutorial? I have Selenium 1.0.9 installed (OS X, Leopard), the proxy server appears to launch ok, and got the test to reach: @browser = Selenium::SeleniumDriver.new("localhost", 4444, "*firefox", "http://www.google.com", 15000) this method has no documentation as far as I can tell (or

I am using Spec:UI to run my Selenium tests, and I want to start Selenium only once, for many descriptions. I''ve come quite far solving it by declaring a main ui spec like the following: require ''pathname'' require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/selenium'' $base_url="http://localhost:3000" $browser =

This is related to Selenium/Watir usage along side webrat in story testing. MHS_Testing and Rspec-ui provide some great help for testing through frameworks like Selenium/Watir. But there is something missing, Webrat has changed the landscape somewhat with Acceptance Tests/Story Driven development. Now I have a choice: 1. Tests and rails process run as one test process (Webrat) 2. Use

Has anybody had any luck getting Cucumber, Webrat and Selenium to play nicely together for SSL sites? My test environment: - nginx front-end accepting SSL requests, proxying them to mongrel back-end - mongrel back-end accepting normal HTTP requests - application routes configured with ":protocol => ''https''" so that URLs generated with "_url"

I caught two different approaches to integrate Selenium to Rails: http://svn.viney.net.nz/things/rails/plugins/selenium_testing/README http://andthennothing.net/archives/2006/02/05/selenium-on-rails It seems that the first makes it easy to right the tests, and the second makes it easy to run them. Am I correct? Any chance of the two hooking up and cross polinating? -- Posted via

Hi list I''ve got a bit of a philosophical question. After just having discovered Selenium /Selenium IDE and the rails selenium plugin I''ve realized that it''s a whole lot easier to do functinoal testing than writing the traditional rails functional tests. However it implies that the development database consists of standardized test data (e.g the test & dev

Hi All, I am trying to learn BDD using the Cucumber framework, and am integrating Selenium for client side tests. I''ve been playing with refactoring my cucumber installation a bit, and have pulled the code to start the selenium server out into a profile-configuration file, similar to env.rb: # start selenium server @@browser = Selenium::SeleniumDriver.new("localhost", 4444,

Hey there, There''s been a bit of work going on with Selenium and Rails recently, so I thought I may as well share what I came up with. Check out my blog post at http://blog.viney.net.nz/articles/2006/02/09/selenium-testing, grab the plugin and give it a whirl (be sure to read the README!). Basically, my approach was to make it possible to write Selenium tests in the same way that

Now that 0.7.0 is forcing me to write properly compartmented specs, I thought I''d give the "dead easy Selenium support" a try. Is it supposed to all the things that rspec normally does for me, or is it just for using rspec-like grammar to surround Selenium tests? Specifically, should it roll back the database between specifications? I just did a quick test, and the result

One of the things I like about Rails is the built-in support for testing ? it?s almost hard not to write tests. But even if I write extensive tests (currently ?Code to Test Ratio: 1:3.4? according to rake stats in a small toy project) I still feel that it?s not enough. I occasionally get the urge to fire up the browser and click around to test that everything works. You shouldn?t have to

I''ve just released a new version of Selenium on Rails[1]. It''s a plugin that makes it easy to test Rails applications through browsers using Selenium [2]. The major new features are exprimental support for running all tests through a Rake task (which launches any number of browsers) and a new format RSelenese. The Rake task has a few rough edges so I would appreciate if

RSpec 0.9.4 has just been released. Gems haven''t rsync''ed around the globe yet, so you might have to wait a few hours to install it. The big news this time is Spec::Ui 0.2.0, which has been released along with RSpec core. This RSpec extension gives you custom Watir matchers (custom Selenium-RC matchers are not implemented yet). Moreover, it comes with a custom KICK ASS formatter

Hello All, I need to stub two class methods before a selenium call. The .rsel is : require ''mocha'' SalesConfigWork.stubs(:load_work_data) SalesConfigWork.stubs(:delete_work_data) setup :fixtures => :sales_config_works open "/" The Selenium test runner result is : undefined method `stubs'' for SalesConfigWork:Class Extracted source (around line *#0*):

Hey all, I am currently working on coming up w/ an easy to use, developer-centric web testing framework to test a J2EE app with. (I have 3 rails apps in production, love rspec, and am currently at a java shop). I''ve looked at selenium, and it just doesn''t seem like it is ready for prime time, and the target audience is developers. So, having said that, does the rspec

I''m evaluating what to use for integration testing: SafariWatir - integrates nicely with RSpec - doesn''t work with Ajax because of Safari event firing issues Selenium - Works with Ajax - doesn''t integrate with RSpec What is the best guess timeframe for RSpec integration testing? Will it be able to test Ajax application in the early iterations? Thanks, Brian Yamabe

The 0.7.0 vendor/selenium/README.txt references a "start_browser_once.patch" file. This doesn''t seem to be included in either the rspec or selenium-rc distributions, and Google finds nothing... where might I find that patch? Jay Levitt
