Script to execute a collection of selenese scripts

Documentation

Installation

Stable version can be installed by running npm install selenese-runner

For the development version

• checkout this repository
• fetch dependencies using npm update
• test with npm test

Config

Sample config:

selenese = require('selenese-runner');
selenese.runWithConfig( {
    suitelist: 'https://raw.github.com/DBC-as/selenese-runner/master/tests/data/testsuites.txt',
    url: 'http://bibliotek.dk', 
    replace: {AUTHOR_PETERSEN: 'petersen'},
    callback: selenese.junitReporter('filename.xml')});

• suitelist is a list of urls for selenium-ide testsuites.
• url is the url of the site to test (overrides testsuites)
• replace includes values to replace within selenium tests. This is useful for for example usernames and passwords
• callback is the reporting function

Or alternative:

require('selenese-runner').easyDispatch({
    suitelist: "https://raw.github.com/DBC-as/selenese-tests/master/bibliotekdk.lst",
    url: "http://bibliotek.dk", 
    setup: [{host: "localhost", port: 4444, browser: "iexplore"},
            {host: "localhost", port: 4444, browser: "firefox"}],
    replace: {"USER_LOGIN": "[email protected]", "USER_PASSWORD": "*****
});

which will spawn a new test-run for each setup (or which ever property that are lists), and automatically create junitReporter callbacks with filenames that matches the config.

Run

Just run node $CONFIG_FILE (or NODE_PATH=lib node $CONFIG_FILE if using the development version where the script is placed in the lib directory). The config can also be passed to the commandline with -e ... instead of filename.

Features

• reads a list of suites, then reads the suites, then read and execute each test
• suites are run in a single browser session, for performance
• callback from test-results
• simple reporting supported with exit-code
• test / integration-server / travis support
• additional commands (command, target, value)
  • (restartBrowser, no target, no value)

Tasks

• refactor code and add more documentation
  • cleanup dependencies
  • better logging with parallel tests
• return error when downloaded suite or testcase is not a file from selenium-ide
• ignore errors in before/after/beforeEach/afterEach
• better selenese-escape-code
• streamline unit tests
• more info in junit-errorreporting.
• timing information in tests
