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 unit and functional tests are written. So, you end
up with test classes such as:
class PersonSeleniumTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
selenium_test
fixtures :people, :households
def setup
open '/person/view/1'
end
def test_add_new_person
click 'add_new_person_link'
assert_visible 'add_new_person'
type 'new_person_first_name', 'Pixel'
type 'new_person_last_name', 'the Cat'
select 'new_person_gender', 'Male'
type 'new_person_creation_source', 'The Planet Zorg'
click_and_wait 'submit_add_new_person', 4
assert_contains 'person_name', 'Pixel the Cat'
end
end
This will be turned into a Selenium test suite when you run:
rake selenium
Anyway, enough for the forum. Check out the plugin if you’re interested.
It’s still quite rough, but it Works For Me.
