Helpers for writing selenium tests for Django

Project description

selenosis noun sel·e·no·sis /sɛliːˈnəʊsɪs/. poisoning due to excessive intake of selenium.

django-selenosis (formerly django-admin-testutils) contains helpers to make writing selenium unit tests for Django, and in particular the Django admin, easier. It is based on the code that supported selenium unit tests in django-nested-admin.

The test runner is designed to work similarly to the Django framework’s own runtests.py. The best guide on usage can be found in the unit tests for this repository. Specifically, look at runtests.py and selenosis/tests/test.py.

Development and Testing

You can use homebrew or manually download chomedriver:

  1. homebrew:

    brew install --cask chromedriver
  2. Manually:

    export PATH="$PWD:$PATH"
    export CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION=$(curl -q http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE)
    curl -O http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/$CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION/chromedriver_mac64.zip
    unzip chromedriver_mac64.zip
    rm chromedriver_mac64.zip
    chmod +x chromedriver

Run tox To Test
