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.

This plugin is designed to let you use Selenium RC to write Selenium tests in Ruby, using a simple series of Rake tasks. == Installation The current version of this plugin can be found at: [http://rubyforge.org/var/svn/pivotalrb/seleniumrc\_fu/trunk](http://rubyforge.org/var/svn/pivotalrb/seleniumrc_fu/trunk) You may install the plugin with the following command: script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/pivotalrb/seleniumrc\_fu/trunk == Usage The seleniumrc\_fu plugin assumes you have a test/selenium directory with a selenium\_suite.rb file in it. A sample selenium\_suite.rb and selenium\_helper.rb can be copied into your test/selenium directory. You’ll get the following tasks: - selenium:test - starts a Selenium RC server, runs selenium tests, and shuts the server down when they’re done and lower level tasks as well: - selenium:server starts up a Selenium RC server - selenium:test\_with\_server\_started runs Selenium tests off of an existing server == Oh Yeah… We’ve got JsUnit support as well! Check out this site for more information: [http://www.jsunit.net/](http://www.jsunit.net/) There’s a series of jsunit:xxx rake tasks devoted to running JsUnit distributed server tests from Ruby. == Future Enhancements There are a few things we’d like to improve, but we wanted to get this out now. Check the tracker in the pivotal.rb RubyForge project for details. == License Selenium RC Fu is distributed under the MIT license.
