Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.
@wdio/globals
Advanced tools
@wdio/globals is a package that provides global variables and functions for WebdriverIO, a popular automation test framework. It simplifies the setup and usage of WebdriverIO by offering a set of globally accessible utilities.
Global Browser Object
The global `browser` object allows you to interact with the browser instance directly. This includes navigating to URLs, interacting with elements, and more.
browser.url('https://example.com');
Global Expect Function
The global `expect` function is used for assertions in your tests. It allows you to make assertions about the state of the browser or elements within it.
expect(browser).toHaveTitle('Example Domain');
Global $ and $$ Functions
The global `$` and `$$` functions are shorthand for selecting single and multiple elements, respectively. They simplify the process of element selection in your tests.
const element = $('selector'); const elements = $$('selector');
Selenium WebDriver is a widely-used tool for browser automation. It provides a more low-level API compared to WebdriverIO, requiring more boilerplate code to achieve similar tasks.
Cypress is an end-to-end testing framework that offers a more developer-friendly experience with automatic waiting and a more intuitive API. However, it is limited to testing within the browser and does not support multiple browser instances.
Nightwatch.js is an end-to-end testing framework built on top of Selenium WebDriver. It provides a higher-level API compared to Selenium WebDriver but is not as feature-rich or user-friendly as WebdriverIO.
A helper utility for importing global variables directly
This package can be used to import global variables explicitly, e.g.
import { browser, $, $$, expect } from '@wdio/globals'
describe('my test', () => {
// ...
it('can do something', async () => {
// ...
})
// ...
})
