planterbox-webdriver 0.4.0

Steps for web testing using selenium and planterbox

A suite of steps for planterbox for web testing with Selenium

Usage

1. Install planterbox and planterbox-webdriver: pip install planterbox planterbox-webdriver

2. Add a unittest.cfg to your project that enables planterbox:

   [unittest]
   plugins = planterbox
   
   [planterbox]
   always-on = True

3. Create a package containing your tests; its __init__.py defines the steps you will have available in your .feature files. This package must be detected by nose2 as containing tests; see nose2’s docs for details.

4. Add a “before” hook that sets up a webdriver for your tests:

   @hook('before', 'feature')
   def create_webdriver(test):
       from selenium import webdriver
       test.browser = webdriver.Firefox()

5. from planterbox_webdriver.webdriver import * if you want steps that let you find elements in your tests with XPath

6. from planterbox_webdriver.css_selector_steps import * for steps that let you find elements in your tests with jQuery-style CSS selectors

7. Add a .feature file in this package containing tests specified using Gherkin. planterbox will turn these into appropriate test case objects and give them to nose to run.

8. Run your tests: nose2
