django-selenium-boilerplate 0.0.4

Usage

This app provides a SeleniumBase class that extends LiveServerTestCase. It sets up selenium, and provides several helper methods for testing.

• SeleniumBase.url(route, *args, **kwargs): Returns the full live server URL to the given route. If rotue starts with “/”, it’s interpreted as a full path. Otherwise, it’s interpreted as a reversible route name, which is resolved using reverse(route, args=args, kwargs=kwargs).

• SeleniumBase.by_css(selector): Shortcut for self.selenium.find_element_by_css_selector.

• SeleniumBase.by_csss(selector): Shortcut for self.selenium.find_elements_by_css_selector.

• SeleniumBase.await_selector(selector, timeout=30): Polls for the presence of the given CSS selector, until the timeout. Returns when at least one element matching that selector is found.

• SeleniumBase.select_option(selector, visible_text): Shortcut for selecting the <option> with the given visible text within the <select> that matches the given CSS selector.

Optional setting: - SELENIUM_FIREFOX_BIN: Optional path to the firefox binary to use when building the Selenium driver. Use this to constrain to a particular selenium-supported Firefox release.

Example:

from selenium_boilerplate import SeleniumBase

class MyTestCase(SeleniumBase):
    def test_home(self):
        # Look up the route named "home"
        self.selenium.get(self.selenium.url("home"))
        # Pause until the selector "h1" appears
        self.await_selector("h1")
        self.assertEquals(self.by_css("h1").text, "Hello, World")
