Setup Selenium

  • Install the Selenium IDE plugin for Firefox from http://seleniumhq.org/download/

  • Create a folder "wicketPathLocatorBuilder" in your local drive with the file "user-extension.js.wicketPathLocatorBuilder" inside. Paste the following snippet into this file.

    LocatorBuilders.add('wicketpath', function(e) {
  var path = '';
  var current = e;
  while (current != null) {
    if (current.parentNode != null) {
      path = this.relativeXPathFromParent(current) + path;
      if (1 == current.parentNode.nodeType && // ELEMENT_NODE
          current.parentNode.getAttribute("wicketpath")) {
        return this.preciseXPath("//" + this.xpathHtmlElement(current.parentNode.nodeName.toLowerCase()) +
            "[@wicketpath=" + this.attributeValue(current.parentNode.getAttribute('wicketpath')) + "]" +
            path, e);
      }
    } else {
      return null;
    }
    current = current.parentNode;
  }
  return null;
    });
  • Open the Selenium IDE, go to menu Options -> Options. In the Selenium Core extensions input field, paste the path to the earlier created folder "wicketPathLocatorBuilder".
  • Go to Options > Locator Builders and move the wicketpath entry to the top of the list
  • Restart FireFox.

Setup Servoy

  • setup web client property servoy.webclient.debug.wicketpath to true.
  • Save and restart application server.

Selenium description

Main window description

  • The left part of the main window contains the tree structure that represents the test-suite. The right side displays the details of a selected node. At the bottom of the main window you'll see the terminal output area, which displays stan-dard messages and communications in between your test-suite and the client applica-tion you are testing.
  • The basic structure of a test-suite and thus the child nodes of theTest-suite root node is fixed. An arbitrary number of Test-set, Test-case or Test nodes are followed by the Procedures, Extras and Windows and components nodes. The Procedures node holds Packages and Procedures.

Starting the Application

  • If Selenium is configured, Servoy web client also, then you can run the solution on web client with Firefox browser.
  • When the application is running on browser, then the Selenium can be started using <CTRL + ALT + S> or going to Firefox-> Web Developer-> Selenium IDE.

Recording events

  • Click record button
  • Go to WC, do the actions needed, typing data/ adding records/ delete
  • When done go to selenium and hit "Stop recording" button
  • A sequence is created which can be saved using <CTRL+S>

Recording cotcha's

  • When using sendKeys, also add a fireEvent with value 'blur' on the target for the sendKeys, otherwise the sendKeys is not applied
  • When recording, Selenium inserts selectWindow commands. Most of these can be removed. They are only needed when the test needs to switch to another tab or to a different dialog (or back to the main form from a dialog)
  • By default Selenium does not handle Ajax events very well when recording. It inserts simple 'click' events, but those clicks usually result in an Ajax call to the server

Playback - Running the script

  • If a suite of case is already recorded then can be played from "Play entire test suite" button
  • For testing case by case of case suite already recorded then can be played from "Play current test case" button
  • TIP: for easier following of the test run, add a default delay: go to "Fast-delay" slide bar and adjust the speed of running cases.
