SeleniumProxy

Here's a little tidbit that we use to add selenium to the test suite for our CP apps.

{{{
#!python
import os
localDir = os.path.dirname(__file__)

class SeleniumProxy(object):
    
    jarfile = os.path.join(localDir, 'selenium-server.jar')
    
    def __init__(self):
        self.started = False
        self.cmd = None
    
    def start(self):
        if not self.started:
            self.cmd = os.popen('java -jar "%s" -interactive' % self.jarfile, 'w')
            try:
                from cherrypy import _cpserver
                _cpserver.wait_for_occupied_port('127.0.0.1', 4444)
                self.started = True
            except:
                self.stop()
    
    def stop(self):
        if self.cmd:
            self.cmd.write('quit\n')
            self.cmd.close()
            self.cmd = None
        self.started = False

proxy = SeleniumProxy()


def use_selenium(test_method):
    """Decorator for test methods to use selenium."""
    def wrapper(self):
        # First, start up the Selenium proxy server
        proxy.start()
        self.verificationErrors = []
        try:
            return test_method(self)
        finally:
            proxy.stop()
            self.assertEqual([], self.verificationErrors)
    return wrapper

browsers = ("*firefox", "*iexplore")
}}}

Here's an example of its use:

{{{
#!python
from endue.tests.selenium import selenium
from cherrypy.test import helper
from endue.tests import test


class InterestTests(helper.CPWebCase):
    
    @test.use_selenium
    def test_InterestsInterface(self):
        for browser in test.browsers:
            try:
                sel = selenium("localhost", 4444, browser, "http://127.0.0.1:8080")
                sel.start()
                
                # search for directory ID 1
                sel.open("/firststone/nav/")
                sel.click("Directory")
                sel.select_window("Opsdyn")
                sel.wait_for_condition('selenium.isElementPresent("Criteria3")', '10000')
                sel.type("Criteria0", "1")
                sel.click("//input[@value='SHOW']")
                sel.select_window("Opsdyn")
                
                # wait for the directory page to load...
                sel.wait_for_condition('selenium.isElementPresent("//div[4]/div/h3")', '10000')
                sel.wait_for_condition('selenium.getText("//div[4]/div/h3") == "Stated Interests"', '10000')
            finally:
                sel.stop()
}}}
