Direct Known Subclasses:

ExampleSeleniumTest

public abstract class WComponentSeleniumTestCase
extends Object

An abstract class which provides convenience methods to test the UI using Selenium to drive a web browser.

The implementation of various features (ServerCache, WebDriverCache) has been extracted out to static utility classes for applications that cannot extend this class for tests.

Constructor Detail

WComponentSeleniumTestCase

public WComponentSeleniumTestCase()

Creates a WComponentSeleniumTestCase.

Most tests should use this constructor to get the default WebDriverType.

WComponentSeleniumTestCase

public WComponentSeleniumTestCase(boolean useDefaultDriver)

Creates a WComponentSeleniumTestCase.

Most tests should use a 'true' value to get the default WebDriverType.

The driver will be launched if the driverType is set and the Url is set or configured.

Tests using the MultiBrowserRunner must use a 'false' parameter so the creation is deferred until the test is run.

Parameters:

useDefaultDriver - - if true, a default ParameterizedWebDriverType will be used. If false, the driver must be set after the constructor.

WComponentSeleniumTestCase

public WComponentSeleniumTestCase(boolean useDefaultDriver,
                          String url)

Creates a WComponentSeleniumTestCase.

Most tests should use a 'true' value to get the default WebDriverType.

A non-null URL parameter specifies that the server has already been launched at the given URL.

The driver will be launched if the driverType is set and the Url is set or configured.

Tests using the MultiBrowserRunner must use a 'false' parameter so the creation is deferred until the test is run.

Parameters:

useDefaultDriver - - if true, a default ParameterizedWebDriverType will be used. If false, the driver must be set after the constructor.

url - the url of the server. A non-null URL will prevent a server from being launched.

WComponentSeleniumTestCase

public WComponentSeleniumTestCase(WebDriverType driverType)

Creates a WComponentSeleniumTestCase with the given driver type.

The driver will be launched if the driverType is set and the Url is set or configured.

Parameters:

driverType - the type of WebDriver to use.

WComponentSeleniumTestCase

public WComponentSeleniumTestCase(WebDriverType driverType,
                          String driverId)

Creates a WComponentSeleniumTestCase with the given driver type.

The driver will be launched if the driverType is set and the Url is set or configured.

Parameters:

driverType - the type of WebDriver to use.

driverId - - the id to use to separate multiple instances of the same driver.

WComponentSeleniumTestCase

public WComponentSeleniumTestCase(WebDriverType driverType,
                          String driverId,
                          String url)

Creates a WComponentSeleniumTestCase with the given driver type.

A non-null URL parameter specifies that the server has already been launched at the given URL.

Parameters:

driverType - the type of WebDriver to use.

driverId - - the id to use to separate multiple instances of the same driver.

url - the url of the server. A non-null URL will prevent a server from being launched.

Method Detail

setDriver

public void setDriver(WebDriverType driverType,
             String driverId)

Set the driver type and ID for this test.

Use a null driverId if not using multiple drivers of the same type.

Parameters:

driverType - the WebDriverType to use.

driverId - OPTIONAL the driver Id to use.

setUrl

public void setUrl(String url)

Set the URL to use for the test.

Parameters:

url - the URL to set.

getUrl

public String getUrl()

Returns:

the URL.

getDriver

public SeleniumWComponentsWebDriver getDriver()

Retrieves the current driver instance, launching it for the URL if it is not already running. Subclasses should use this to obtain a driver instance for their tests. Note that the driver is retained between tests unless explicitly closed.

If not already running, the driver will attempt to load the configured Url. An exception will be thrown if the driver or URL is not configured.

Returns:

the driver to use during testing.

getDriverWithoutLaunching

public SeleniumWComponentsWebDriver getDriverWithoutLaunching()

Retrieve the driver without launching it.

An exception will be thrown if the driverType has not been configured.

Returns:

the driver to use during testing.
