(Redirected from Selenium/Stack)

This page explains stack from Selenium/Getting Started/Create a simple test page.

This tutorial will assume that you are running tests from your machine, targeting MediaWiki-Docker. For more examples see Selenium/Reference/Example Code.

Examples will:

  • open browser
  • go to main page
  • check that Log in link is present
  • close browser

WebdriverIO

[edit]

Reasons for selecting WebdriverIO:

Stack

[edit]

For more information about the stack see Selenium/Reference/Stack.

Language JavaScript/Node.js
Browser Chrome
Selenium/WebDriver WebdriverIO (web, API, package)
Testing framework N/A
Assertion library N/A
Page object N/A

Advantages

[edit]
  • Minimal stack.

Disadvantages

[edit]
  • No assertions.
  • No testing framework (setup, teardown, reporting...).
  • No page object pattern.

Code

[edit]

tests/selenium/docs/Stack/webdriverio.js 

'use strict';

// baseUrl is required for our continuous integration.
// If you don't have MW_SERVER and MW_SCRIPT_PATH environment variables set
// you can probably hardcode it to something like this:
// const baseUrl = 'http://localhost:8080/wiki/';
const baseUrl = `${ process.env.MW_SERVER }${ process.env.MW_SCRIPT_PATH }/index.php?title=`;

const { remote } = require( 'webdriverio' );

( async () => {
  const browser = await remote( {
    capabilities: {
      browserName: 'chrome',
      'goog:chromeOptions': {
        args: [ 'headless' ]
      }
    }
  } );

  await browser.url( `${ baseUrl }Main_Page` );

  const displayed = await browser.$( 'li#pt-login-2 a' ).isDisplayed();
  if ( displayed === false ) {
    throw new Error( 'Log in link not visible' );
  } else {
    console.log( 'Log in link visible' );
  }
  await browser.deleteSession();
} )();

Output

Output if everything is fine. 

node tests/selenium/docs/Stack/webdriverio.js 
...
Log in link visible
...

Output if there is a problem.
