Selenium 2 (WebDriver) and Phpunit?



Any one know how to use Selenium 2 with Phpunit? Are there any Selenium 2 samples in PHP?

  1. At the time of writing, PHPUnit does not support Selenium 2.

    php-webdriver from facebook allows the complete WebDriver API to be called from PHP in an elegant way. To quote:


    Most clients require you to first read the protocol to see what's
    possible, then study the client itself to see how to call it. This
    hopes to eliminate the latter step.


    It is used by starting up the Selenium 2 server, which provides the interface at localhost:4444/wd/hub.

    /usr/bin/java -jar /path/to/selenium-server-standalone-2.7.0.jar


    then running the PHP test code, which calls that interface. For example:

    <?php

    require '/path/to/php-webdriver/__init__.php';

    $webdriver = new WebDriver();

    $session = $webdriver->session('opera', array());
    $session->open("http://mysite.com");
    $button = $session->element('id', 'my_button_id');
    $button->click();
    $session->close();


    The WebDriver API is mapped to PHP methods, compare calling click on element in the example with the element/click API call in the documentation.

    The test code can then be wrapped in regular phpUnit tests.

    This is not native phpUnit support, but it's a quite robust approach.

  2. PHPUnit Selenium integration code lives as a separate project in github, as far as I can see it does not support Selenium 2, so the answer to your question would be - No, you can not use Selenium 2 with PHPUnit.

    But you can clone the source tree and make it work with Selenium 2.

  3. phpunit webdriver bindings are hosted on google code. There is something we need to understand beyond this.


    PHPUnit needs to be installed. (Either through PEAR package or download and install manually)
    PHP IDE such as Eclipse PDT has to be downloaded and installed.
    Selenium-Stand-Alone server has to be running while executing the WebDriver Selenium test

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
