danny_mk, yeah. the best thing you could do is make a branch for the selenium work that doesn't have any other commits in it for other stuff
scrottie git branch selenium; git checkout selenium
scrottie git cherry-pick b8596fd10da910254150db02dc7336bda5a25c89 # to bring over the one commit that you did
scrottie then to push that: git push origin selenium
Install WebGUI using to the instructions at: https://github.com/plainblack/webgui/tree/WebGUI8
Create the following settings in your test site webgui.conf file:
"selenium" : {
"server" : "localhost",
"port" : "4444",
"browser" : "firefox",
"webgui_url" : "http://your_webgui_test_site_url"
},
Make sure you select all the defaults (do not change the "admin" user password)
Pick the site design: "Style 03" (This is the style selected for testing)
Download the Selenium server from: http://seleniumhq.org/download/)
as of this writing it was selenium-server-standalone-2.24.1.jar
Running the Selenium Server (run in a separate command line/window)
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.24.1.jar
The -browserSessionReuse is to keep the selenium session open so you may troubleshoot page issues
The Selenium software automatically closes the browser when the tests are concluded. If you are writing/troubleshooting tests
and need the browser to remain open use:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.24.1.jar -browserSessionReuse
GOTCHAS ---
If running the selenium tests in the IDE make sure to change:
<link rel="selenium.base" href="http://webgui.dbash.com" /> TO: <link rel="selenium.base" href="http://your_webgui_test_site_url" />
Selenium server not running (this may vary according to the values in your webgui.conf file):
Error requesting http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/driver/:
500 Can't connect to localhost:4444 (Connection refused)
Optional:
Download and install the Selenium IDE from: http://seleniumhq.org/projects/ide/
Take a look at the Selenium IDE documentation: http://seleniumhq.org/docs/02_selenium_ide.html
