Soda
Selenium Node Adapter. A light-weight Selenium RC client for NodeJS, forked from Soda with support for TestingBot
Installation
via npm:
$ npm install soda

Running Examples
The examples provided in ./examples are intended to be run against Selenium RC, which can be downloaded here. Once installed simply execute the following command to start the selenium server:
$ java -jar selenium-server.jar
Then choose an example to run using soda:
$ node examples/google.js
Actions
"Selenese" actions include commands such as open and type. Every action has a corresponding Client
method which accept a variable number of arguments followed by a callback Function
which receives any potential err
, the response body
, and response
object itself.
browser.session(function(err){
browser.open('/', function(err, body, res){
browser.type('q', 'Hello World', function(err, body, res){
browser.testComplete(function(){
});
});
});
});
Because nested callbacks can quickly become overwhelming, Soda has optional chaining support by simply utilizing the .chain
getter as shown below. If an exception is thrown in a callback, or a command fails then it will be passed to end(err)
. The .chain
getter should only be used once, activating the chaining api.
browser
.chain
.session()
.open('/')
.type('q', 'Hello World')
.end(function(err){
browser.testComplete(function() {
console.log('done');
if(err) throw err;
});
});
When chaining successful commands may receive a callback, which is useful for custom assertions:
browser
.chain
.session()
.open('/')
.getTitle(function(title){
assert.equal('Hello World', title);
})
.end(function(err){
browser.testComplete(function() {
console.log('done');
if(err) throw err;
});
})
With the .and()
method you can add additional commands to the queue. The callback accepts the client instance, which is also the value of "this".
For example you may want to authenticate a user, note we do not use .chain
or .end()
again, this simply extends the current queue.
function login(user, pass) {
return function(browser) {
browser
.open('/login')
.type('username', name)
.type('password', pass)
.clickAndWait('login');
}
}
With this helper function we can now re-use this logic in several places, an express the tests in a more logical manor.
browser
.chain
.session()
.open('/')
.assertTitle('Something')
.and(login('foo', 'bar'))
.assertTitle('Foobar')
.and(login('someone', 'else'))
.assertTitle('Someone else')
.end(function(err){
browser.testComplete(function() {
console.log('done');
if(err) throw err;
});
});
Selenium RC Example
var soda = require('soda')
, assert = require('assert');
var browser = soda.createClient({
host: 'localhost'
, port: 4444
, url: 'http://www.google.com'
, browser: 'firefox'
});
browser
.chain
.session()
.open('/')
.type('q', 'Hello World')
.clickAndWait('btnG')
.getTitle(function(title){
assert.ok(~title.indexOf('Hello World'))
})
.end(function(err){
browser.testComplete(function() {
console.log('done');
if(err) throw err;
});
});
TestingBot Example
var soda = require('soda')
, assert = require('assert');
var browser = soda.createTestingBotClient({
'url': 'http://sirrobertborden.ca.app.learnboost.com/'
, 'os': 'Linux'
, 'browser': 'firefox'
, 'browser-version': '3.'
, 'max-duration': 300 // 5 minutes
});
// Log commands as they are fired
browser.on('command', function(cmd, args){
console.log(' \x1b[33m%s\x1b[0m: %s', cmd, args.join(', '));
});
browser
.chain
.session()
.setTimeout(8000)
.open('/')
.waitForPageToLoad(5000)
.clickAndWait('//input[@value="Submit"]')
.clickAndWait('link=Settings')
.type('user[name][first]', 'TJ')
.clickAndWait('//input[@value="Save"]')
.assertTextPresent('Account info updated')
.clickAndWait('link=Log out')
.end(function(err){
browser.testComplete(function(){
console.log(browser.jobUrl);
if (err) throw err;
});
});
Creating Helpers
Keep in mind you can extend the prototype as needed for your test. An example of this which we frequently use is waitForDialog()
. Since the exports of require('soda')
is the Client
itself we can extend it as shown below, in our case waiting for an element with the class of ".dialog" to be present.
soda.prototype.waitForDialog = function() {
return this.waitForElementPresent('css=.dialog');
};
Running The Test Suite
First we need to start Selenium RC:
$ java -jar selenium-server.jar
Then run:
$ make test
