similar to: Selenium on Rails has moved to OpenQA

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

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 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

link_to_remote generates the javascript: new Ajax.Updater(...). Have I missed something or doesn''t this handle browsers with javascript support but without XHR support? What I''d like to do is: 1. If the browser supports XHR, use XHR 2. If the browser supports javascript (and perhaps even if the XHR request fails) do a POST via javascript 3. If the browser doesn''t

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

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 =

Hi, I really like selenium, and I just tried the plugin created Jonas Bengtsson. However I cannot get it to run on rails 1.1 and coundn''t find anyone complaining about it? Did anyone get it to run on rails 1.1.2? Greets, Abdur-Rahman

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

Hi everybody, it''s time to begin testing stage on the application we are doing. I''ve seen RailsCast episode about the subject (http://railscasts.com/ episodes/116) which is actually very instructive, but I want to know if there are out there any compliment tutorial or doc to dig deeper. A lot of peace and thanks for your assistance. Paco

I have the seleniumrc_fu plugin installed and setup according to the instructions, and can run the selenium:test task if there are no test cases. My first test case simply does an open_home_page to verify that things are working at all. Unfortuniately there seems to be an issue with even this simple a test case. The following suggests that there is an issue with the getNewBrowserSession

We''ve been threatening to open source this for a while, most recently during Alex and Brian''s talk at Railsconf [1]. See the readme [2] for more info, and the source/rdocs for all the gory details. Feedback and contributions are very welcome. Thanks, pt. [1] http://www.slideshare.net/alexchaffee/fullstack-webapp-testing-with-selenium-and-rails [2] == Introduction Welcome to

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"

Hi all Tonight I wanted to test out selenium in a story to test some ajax stuff on a page. After struggling for an hour or two with disappearing database objects I found the solution in a blog post by Kerry Buckley. with the comment included it reads: # Don''t add an ActiveRecordSafetyListener, or it''ll roll stuff back class Spec::Story::Runner::ScenarioRunner def

Hi, I am trying to use Selenium RC in my rails application. I first install selenium RC ruby client (>gem install selenium-client). Then create a "selenium_test.rb" in libs folder. In the file, I create a class "SeleniumTest". # libs/selenium_test.rb require "selenium-client" class SeleniumTest attr_reader :browser def initialize @browser =

I am trying to run cucumber/webrat with Sinatra on Jruby 1.7.3 (1.9.3) on Windows. It seems to work ok, but when I try to add selenium to webrat. I get the error shown below. It seems like it thinks it is in a linux environment or something as the error happens when it tries to start selenium server and there is a "&" at the end of the argument chain. I took a look at capybara

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

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,

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 =

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

Yesterday I added some Watir examples to RSpec''s svn. Today I added some Selenium (actually - Selenium Remote Control) examples. It''s dead easy to use both, and the Ruby code you end up writing is actually quite similar. Here''s a taste: == Watir == require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/rspec_watir'' context "Google''s search page" do
