webdriverjs
Advanced tools
This library is a webdriver module for nodejs. It makes it possible to write super easy selenium tests in your favorite BDD or TDD test framework. Even Cucumber tests are supported. Take a look into the example directory for test samples.
Either download it from github or use npm:
npm install webdriverjs
To run tests on your local machine, you have to download a selenium standalone server which executes the selenium commands. You find the latest version here. It is also possible to run the tests in the could (e.g. on BrowserStack or Sauce Labs). For more informations, see below.
Run selenium server first:
java -jar path/to/your/selenium-server-standalone-2.35.0.jar
Webdriverjs has just a few methods. Most of the methods you will use regurarly are the methods available from the client. To begin using Webdriverjs you just need to create a client.
var webdriverjs = require('webdriverjs'),
client = {};
describe('my webdriverjs tests', function(){
this.timeout(99999999);
before(function(){
client = webdriverjs.remote(options);
client.init();
});
it('Github test',function(done) {
client
.url('https://github.com/')
.getElementSize('.header-logo-wordmark', function(err, result) {
expect(err).to.be.null;
assert.strictEqual(result.height , 30);
assert.strictEqual(result.width, 94);
})
.getTitle(function(err, title) {
expect(err).to.be.null;
assert.strictEqual(title,'GitHub · Build software better, together.');
})
.getElementCssProperty('class name','subheading', 'color', function(err, result){
expect(err).to.be.null;
assert.strictEqual(result, 'rgba(136, 136, 136, 1)');
})
.call(done);
});
after(function(done) {
client.end(done);
});
});

Type: Object
Example:
browserName: 'chrome', // options: firefox, chrome, opera, safari
version: '27.0', // browser version
platform: 'XP', // OS platform
tags: ['tag1','tag2'], // specify some tags (e.g. if you use Sauce Labs)
name: 'my test' // set name for test (e.g. if you use Sauce Labs)
Type: String
Default: verbose
Options: verbose | silent | command | data | result
Create client as singleton instance for use in different files
Type: Boolean
Default: true
To run your tests via Sauce Labs, add the following attributes to your option object. If you are using Webdriverjs in a public repository, never publish your Sauce Labs key! Export these informations as enviroment variables.
host: 'ondemand.saucelabs.com', // Sauce Labs remote host
user: 'webdriverjs', // your username
key: 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX' // your account key
port: 80

You can also run your tests with BrowserStack on a remote machine. To do that,
put your username and BrowserStack key in your desiredCapabilities attribute
and define BrowserStack as remote host.
desiredCapabilities: {
'browser': 'firefox',
...
'browserstack.user' : '<username>',
'browserstack.key': '<key>'
},
host: 'hub.browserstack.com',
port: 80

If you wish to end all sessions, you can call the endAll method:
require("webdriverjs").endAll(callback);
Where callback is an optional parameter. This method can be used if you run lots of tests, and you want to make sure that all sessions on your selenium server are closed when you are done. Usually its enough to close each client with its end() method, but if you, for some reason, want to make sure that no sessions are open, use endAll(). (note: this method is also available from the client returned from .remote() as well, but its the same as webdriverjs.endAll())
To get a list of all open sessions, you can call:
require("webdriverjs").sessions(callback);
which wil return an array with all sessions from selenium (note: this method is also available from the client returned from .remote() as well, but its the same as webdriverjs.sessions()).
If you which to extend with your own set of commands there is a method called addCommand available from the client object:
var client = require("webdriverjs").remote();
// create a command the returns the current url and title as one result
// just to show an example
client.addCommand("getUrlAndTitle", function(callback) {
this.url(function(err,urlResult) {
this.getTitle(function(err,titleResult) {
var specialResult = {url: urlResult.value, title: titleResult};
if (typeof callback == "function") {
callback(err,specialResult);
}
})
});
});
client
.init()
.url('http://www.github.com')
.getUrlAndTitle(function(err,result){
expect(err).to.be.null;
assert.strictEqual(result.url,'https://github.com/');
assert.strictEqual(result.title,'GitHub · Build software better, together.');
})
.end();
These are the current implemented helper methods. All methods take from 0 to a couple of parameters. Also all methods accept a callback so that we can assert values or have more logic when the callback is called.
