A Python library for creating a readable, fluent API for Selenium browser automation.

Installation

Install the package using pip:

pip install fluent-selectors

Usage

Here's a simple example of how to use fluent-selectors:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from fluent_selectors import Selector

# Initialize the WebDriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://www.python.org")

# Create a Selector instance
s = Selector(driver)

# Select an element and interact with it
search_bar = s.select((By.NAME, "q"))
search_bar.set_text("pycon")

go_button = s.select((By.ID, "submit"))
go_button.click()

# Perform checks
s.select((By.CLASS_NAME, "list-recent-events")).is_displayed.is_true()

driver.quit()

API

Selector(driver: WebDriver, *locators: Locator)

The main class for selecting and interacting with elements.

• select(locator: Locator) -> Selector: Select a descendant of the current element.
• child(index: int) -> Selector: Select a child by its index.
• children() -> list[Selector]: Get a list of all children.
• parent() -> Selector | None: Get the parent selector.
• parents() -> list[Selector]: Get a list of all parent selectors.

Element Actions

• click(): Clicks the element.
• type_text(text: str): Types text into the element.
• clear(): Clears the text from the element.
• set_text(text: str): Clears the element and then types text into it.
• upload_file(path: Path): Uploads a file to a file input element.
• scroll_into_view(): Scrolls the element into view.

Element Properties

• element() -> WebElement | None: The Selenium WebElement.
• elements() -> list[WebElement]: A list of Selenium WebElements.
• text() -> str | None: The text of the element.
• tag_name() -> str | None: The tag name of the element.
• accessible_name() -> str | None: The accessible name of the element.
• aria_role() -> str | None: The ARIA role of the element.
• id() -> str | None: The ID of the element.
• location() -> Location | None: The location of the element.
• size() -> Size | None: The size of the element.
• attribute(name: str) -> str | None: The value of an attribute.

Checks

You can perform checks on selectors using the following properties. These checks are based on the fluent-checks library.

• is_present(): Checks if the element is present in the DOM.
• is_displayed(): Checks if the element is visible.
• is_enabled(): Checks if the element is enabled.
• is_selected(): Checks if the element is selected.
• has_text(text: str): Checks if the element's text contains the given text.
• has_exact_text(text: str): Checks if the element's text exactly matches the given text.
• has_attribute(name: str): Checks if the element has the given attribute.

Example of a check:

s.select((By.ID, "my-element")).is_displayed.is_true()
s.select((By.ID, "my-element")).has_text("Hello").is_true()
