WebdriverTestCase

WebdriverTestCase provides method aliases on driver and some other cool stuff. If you need driver instance, it's hide in self.driver.

from webdriverwrapper.testcase import WebdriverTestCase

class TestCase(WebdriverTestCase):
    def test(self):
        self.go_to('http://www.google.com')
        self.click('gbqfsb')  # I'm feeling luck.
        self.contains_text('Doodles')

Tip: if you want to write something into __init__, write it into method init and you do not have to call parent's __init__.

Options

domain

By default you have to specify domain in first go_to call. It's not good because you should not know which test is called first. So you can specify domain by this class variable.

class TestCase(WebdriverTestCase):
    domain = 'www.example.com'

instances_of_driver

By default WebdriverTestCase create one driver for all tests. If you want one driver for every TestCase or for every test, change this variable.

Note: It's good to define it in some base TestCase for all TestCases.

from webdriverwrapper.testcase import ONE_INSTANCE_FOR_ALL_TESTS

class TestCase(WebdriverTestCase):
    instances_of_driver = ONE_INSTANCE_FOR_ALL_TESTS

Options are:

• ONE_INSTANCE_FOR_ALL_TESTS
• ONE_INSTANCE_PER_TESTCASE
• ONE_INSTANCE_PER_TEST

wait_after_test

When you have to do some debug page (for example with Firebug or with Chrome Developer tools), you can set wait_after_test and after each test it waits for input to continue.

class TestCase(WebdriverTestCase):
    wait_after_test = True

Methods

_get_driver()

By default WebdriverTestCase create instance of Firefox. You can overwrite this method and create which instance of driver you want.

_check_error_messages()

WebdriverTestCase check your web application on errors. When your page contains some elements with class error, this method finds them and print that there is some problem.

_check_js_errors()

WebdriverTestCase looks for JavaScript errors in your web application. For that you need put into your site this code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    window.jsErrors = [];
    window.onerror = function(errorMessage) {
        window.jsErrors[window.jsErrors.length] = errorMessage;
    }
</script>

debug(msg)

Show message in console. (Uses module logging.)

break_point()

Waits for user input. Good for debuging.
