DESCRIPTION
Selenium Remote Control (SRC) is a test tool that allows you to write
automated web application UI tests in any programming language against
any HTTP website using any mainstream JavaScript-enabled browser. SRC
provides a Selenium Server, which can automatically start/stop/control
any supported browser. It works by using Selenium Core, a pure-HTML+JS
library that performs automated tasks in JavaScript; the Selenium
Server communicates directly with the browser using AJAX
(XmlHttpRequest).
http://www.openqa.org/selenium-rc/ <http://www.openqa.org/selenium-rc/>
This module sends commands directly to the Server using simple HTTP
GET/POST requests. Using this module together with the Selenium
Server, you can automatically control any supported browser.
To use this module, you need to have already downloaded and started the
Selenium Server. (The Selenium Server is a Java application.)
Element Locators
Element Locators tell Selenium which HTML element a command refers
to.The format of a locator is:
locatorType=argument
We support the following strategies for locating elements:
· identifier=id: Select the element with the specified @id attribute.
If no match isfound, select the first element whose @name attribute
is id.(This is normally the default; see below.)
· id=id:Select the element with the specified @id attribute.
· name=name:Select the first element with the specified @name
attribute.
· username
· name=username
The name may optionally be followed by one or more element-filters,
separated from the name by whitespace. If the filterType is not
specified, value is assumed.
· name=flavour value=chocolate
· dom=javascriptExpression: Find an element by evaluating the
specified string. This allows you to traverse the HTML Document
ObjectModel using JavaScript. Note that you must not return a
value in this string; simply make it the last expression in the
block.
· dom=document.forms['myForm'].myDropdown
· dom=document.images[56]
· dom=function foo() { return document.links[1]; }; foo();
· xpath=xpathExpression: Locate an element using an XPath expression.
· xpath=//img[@alt='The image alt text']
· xpath=//table[@id='table1']//tr[4]/td[2]
· xpath=//a[contains(@href,'#id1')]
· xpath=//a[contains(@href,'#id1')]/@class
· xpath=(//table[@class='stylee'])//th[text()='theHeaderText']/../td
· xpath=//input[@name='name2' and @value='yes']
· xpath=//*[text()="right"]
· link=textPattern:Select the link (anchor) element which contains
text matching thespecified pattern.
· link=The link text
· css=cssSelectorSyntax:Select the element using css selectors.
Please refer to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html (CSS2
selectors), http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/CR-css3-selectors-20011113/
(CSS3 selectors) for more information. You can also check the
TestCssLocators test in the selenium test suite for an example of
usage, which is included in the downloaded selenium core package.
· css=a[href="#id3"]
· css=span#firstChild + span
Currently the css selector locator supports all css1, css2 and css3
selectors except namespace in css3, some pseudo
classes(:nth-of-type, :nth-last-of-type, :first-of-type,
:last-of-type, :only-of-type, :visited, :hover, :active, :focus,
:indeterminate) and pseudo elements(::first-line, ::first-letter,
::selection, ::before, ::after).
· ui=uiSpecifierString:Locate an element by resolving the UI
specifier string to another locator, and evaluating it. See the
http://svn.openqa.org/fisheye/browse/~raw,r=trunk/selenium/trunk/src/main/resources/core/scripts/ui-doc.html
(Selenium UI-Element Reference) for more details.
· ui=loginPages::loginButton()
· ui=settingsPages::toggle(label=Hide Email)
· ui=forumPages::postBody(index=2)//a[2]
Without an explicit locator prefix, Selenium uses the following
defaultstrategies:
· dom, for locators starting with "document."
· xpath, for locators starting with "//"
· identifier, otherwise
Element Filters
Element filters can be used with a locator to refine a list of
candidate elements. They are currently used only in the 'name'
element-locator.
Filters look much like locators, ie.
filterType=argument
Supported element-filters are:
value=valuePattern
Matches elements based on their values. This is particularly
useful for refining a list of similarly-named toggle-buttons.
index=index
Selects a single element based on its position in the list (offset
from zero).
String-match Patterns
Various Pattern syntaxes are available for matching string values:
· glob:pattern:Match a string against a "glob" (aka "wildmat")
pattern. "Glob" is akind of limited regular-expression syntax
typically used in command-lineshells. In a glob pattern, "*"
represents any sequence of characters, and "?"represents any single
character. Glob patterns match against the entirestring.
· regexp:regexp:Match a string using a regular-expression. The full
power of JavaScriptregular-expressions is available.
· regexpi:regexpi:Match a string using a case-insensitive regular-
expression.
· exact:string:Match a string exactly, verbatim, without any of that
fancy wildcardstuff.
If no pattern prefix is specified, Selenium assumes that it's a
"glob"pattern.
For commands that return multiple values (such as
verifySelectOptions),the string being matched is a comma-separated list
of the return values,where both commas and backslashes in the values
are backslash-escaped.When providing a pattern, the optional matching
syntax (i.e. glob,regexp, etc.) is specified once, as usual, at the
beginning of thepattern.
METHODS
The following methods are available:
$sel = WWW::Selenium->new( %args )
Constructs a new "WWW::Selenium" object, specifying a Selenium
Server host/port, a command to launch the browser, and a starting
URL for the browser.
Options:
· "host"
host is the host name on which the Selenium Server resides.
· "port"
port is the port on which the Selenium Server is listening.
· "browser_url"
browser_url is the starting URL including just a domain name.
We'll start the browser pointing at the Selenium resources on
this URL, e.g. "http://www.google.com" would send the browser
to "http://www.google.com/selenium-server/SeleneseRunner.html"
· "browser" or "browser_start_command"
This is the command string used to launch the browser, e.g.
"*firefox", "*iexplore" or "/usr/bin/firefox"
This option may be any one of the following:
· "*firefox [absolute path]"
Automatically launch a new Firefox process using a custom
Firefox profile. This profile will be automatically
configured to use the Selenium Server as a proxy and to
have all annoying prompts ("save your password?" "forms are
insecure" "make Firefox your default browser?" disabled.
You may optionally specify an absolute path to your firefox
executable, or just say "*firefox". If no absolute path is
specified, we'll look for firefox.exe in a default location
(normally c:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe),
which you can override by setting the Java system property
"firefoxDefaultPath" to the correct path to Firefox.
· "*iexplore [absolute path]"
Automatically launch a new Internet Explorer process using
custom Windows registry settings. This process will be
automatically configured to use the Selenium Server as a
proxy and to have all annoying prompts ("save your
password?" "forms are insecure" "make Firefox your default
browser?" disabled. You may optionally specify an absolute
path to your iexplore executable, or just say "*iexplore".
If no absolute path is specified, we'll look for
iexplore.exe in a default location (normally c:\program
files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe), which you can
override by setting the Java system property
"iexploreDefaultPath" to the correct path to Internet
Explorer.
· "/path/to/my/browser [other arguments]"
You may also simply specify the absolute path to your
browser executable, or use a relative path to your
executable (which we'll try to find on your path).
Warning: If you specify your own custom browser, it's up to
you to configure it correctly. At a minimum, you'll need
to configure your browser to use the Selenium Server as a
proxy, and disable all browser-specific prompting.
· "auto_stop"
Defaults to true, and will attempt to close the browser if the
object goes out of scope and stop hasn't been called.
· "keep_alive"
Number of connections LWP should cache. This is just a minor
speed improvement. Defaults to 5.
· "http_method">
Choose which HTTP method should be used for requests to the
Selenium server. Only GET and POST are supported.

$sel->type($locator, $value)
Sets the value of an input field, as though you typed it in. Can
also be used to set the value of combo boxes, check boxes, etc. In
these cases,value should be the value of the option selected, not
the visible text.
$locator is an element locator
$value is the value to type
$sel->type_keys($locator, $value)
Simulates keystroke events on the specified element, as though you
typed the value key-by-key. This is a convenience method for
calling keyDown, keyUp, keyPress for every character in the
specified string;this is useful for dynamic UI widgets (like auto-
completing combo boxes) that require explicit key events.
Unlike the simple "type" command, which forces the specified value
into the page directly, this commandmay or may not have any visible
effect, even in cases where typing keys would normally have a
visible effect.For example, if you use "typeKeys" on a form
element, you may or may not see the results of what you typed inthe
field.
In some cases, you may need to use the simple "type" command to set
the value of the field and then the "typeKeys" command tosend the
keystroke events corresponding to what you just typed.
$locator is an element locator
$value is the value to type
$sel->set_speed($value)
Set execution speed (i.e., set the millisecond length of a delay
which will follow each selenium operation). By default, there is
no such delay, i.e.,the delay is 0 milliseconds.
$value is the number of milliseconds to pause after operation
$sel->get_speed()
Get execution speed (i.e., get the millisecond length of the delay
following each selenium operation). By default, there is no such
delay, i.e.,the delay is 0 milliseconds.See also setSpeed.
Returns the execution speed in milliseconds.
$sel->check($locator)
Check a toggle-button (checkbox/radio)
$locator is an element locator
$sel->uncheck($locator)
Uncheck a toggle-button (checkbox/radio)
$locator is an element locator
$sel->select($select_locator, $option_locator)
Select an option from a drop-down using an option locator. Option
locators provide different ways of specifying options of an
HTMLSelect element (e.g. for selecting a specific option, or for
assertingthat the selected option satisfies a specification). There
are severalforms of Select Option Locator.
· label=labelPattern:matches options based on their labels, i.e.
the visible text. (Thisis the default.)
· label=regexp:^[Oo]ther
· value=valuePattern:matches options based on their values.
· value=other
· id=id:matches options based on their ids.
· id=option1
· index=index:matches an option based on its index (offset from
zero).
· index=2
If no option locator prefix is provided, the default behaviour is
to match on label.
$select_locator is an element locator identifying a drop-down
menu
$option_locator is an option locator (a label by default)
$sel->add_selection($locator, $option_locator)
Add a selection to the set of selected options in a multi-select
element using an option locator.@see #doSelect for details of
option locators
$locator is an element locator identifying a multi-select box
$option_locator is an option locator (a label by default)
$sel->remove_selection($locator, $option_locator)
Remove a selection from the set of selected options in a multi-
select element using an option locator.@see #doSelect for details
of option locators
$locator is an element locator identifying a multi-select box
$option_locator is an option locator (a label by default)
$sel->remove_all_selections($locator)
Unselects all of the selected options in a multi-select element.
$locator is an element locator identifying a multi-select box
$sel->submit($form_locator)
Submit the specified form. This is particularly useful for forms
withoutsubmit buttons, e.g. single-input "Search" forms.
$form_locator is an element locator for the form you want to
submit
$sel->open($url, $ignore_response_code)
Opens an URL in the test frame. This accepts both relative and
absoluteURLs.The "open" command waits for the page to load before
proceeding,ie. the "AndWait" suffix is implicit.Note: The URL must
be on the same domain as the runner HTMLdue to security
restrictions in the browser (Same Origin Policy). If youneed to
open an URL on another domain, use the Selenium Server to start
anew browser session on that domain.
$url is the URL to open; may be relative or absolute
$ignore_response_code is (optional) turn off ajax head request
functionality
$sel->open_window($url, $window_id)
Opens a popup window (if a window with that ID isn't already
open).After opening the window, you'll need to select it using the
selectWindowcommand. This command can also be a useful workaround
for bug SEL-339. In some cases, Selenium will be unable to
intercept a call to window.open (if the call occurs during or
before the "onLoad" event, for example).In those cases, you can
force Selenium to notice the open window's name by using the
Selenium openWindow command, usingan empty (blank) url, like this:
openWindow("", "myFunnyWindow").
$url is the URL to open, which can be blank
$window_id is the JavaScript window ID of the window to select
$sel->select_window($window_id)
Selects a popup window using a window locator; once a popup window
has been selected, allcommands go to that window. To select the
main window again, use nullas the target. Window locators provide
different ways of specifying the window object:by title, by
internal JavaScript "name," or by JavaScript variable.
· title=My Special Window:Finds the window using the text that
appears in the title bar. Be careful;two windows can share the
same title. If that happens, this locator willjust pick one.
· name=myWindow:Finds the window using its internal JavaScript
"name" property. This is the second parameter "windowName"
passed to the JavaScript method window.open(url, windowName,
windowFeatures, replaceFlag)(which Selenium intercepts).
· var=variableName:Some pop-up windows are unnamed (anonymous),
but are associated with a JavaScript variable name in the
currentapplication window, e.g. "window.foo =
window.open(url);". In those cases, you can open the window
using"var=foo".
If no window locator prefix is provided, we'll try to guess what
you mean like this:
1.) if windowID is null, (or the string "null") then it is assumed
the user is referring to the original window instantiated by the
browser).
2.) if the value of the "windowID" parameter is a JavaScript
variable name in the current application window, then it is
assumedthat this variable contains the return value from a call to
the JavaScript window.open() method.
3.) Otherwise, selenium looks in a hash it maintains that maps
string names to window "names".
4.) If that fails, we'll try looping over all of the known windows
to try to find the appropriate "title".Since "title" is not
necessarily unique, this may have unexpected behavior.
If you're having trouble figuring out the name of a window that you
want to manipulate, look at the Selenium log messageswhich identify
the names of windows created via window.open (and therefore
intercepted by Selenium). You will see messageslike the following
for each window as it is opened:
"debug: window.open call intercepted; window ID (which you can use
with selectWindow()) is "myNewWindow""
In some cases, Selenium will be unable to intercept a call to
window.open (if the call occurs during or before the "onLoad"
event, for example).(This is bug SEL-339.) In those cases, you can
force Selenium to notice the open window's name by using the
Selenium openWindow command, usingan empty (blank) url, like this:
openWindow("", "myFunnyWindow").
$window_id is the JavaScript window ID of the window to select
$sel->select_pop_up($window_id)
Simplifies the process of selecting a popup window (and does not
offerfunctionality beyond what "selectWindow()" already provides).
· If "windowID" is either not specified, or specified as"null",
the first non-top window is selected. The top window is the
onethat would be selected by "selectWindow()" without providing
a"windowID" . This should not be used when more than one
popupwindow is in play.
· Otherwise, the window will be looked up considering"windowID"
as the following in order: 1) the "name" of thewindow, as
specified to "window.open()"; 2) a javascriptvariable which is
a reference to a window; and 3) the title of thewindow. This is
the same ordered lookup performed by"selectWindow" .
$window_id is an identifier for the popup window, which can
take on a number of different meanings
$sel->deselect_pop_up()
Selects the main window. Functionally equivalent to
using"selectWindow()" and specifying no value for"windowID".
$sel->select_frame($locator)
Selects a frame within the current window. (You may invoke this
commandmultiple times to select nested frames.) To select the
parent frame, use"relative=parent" as a locator; to select the top
frame, use "relative=top".You can also select a frame by its
0-based index number; select the first frame with"index=0", or the
third frame with "index=2". You may also use a DOM expression to
identify the frame you want directly,like this:
"dom=frames["main"].frames["subframe"]"
$locator is an element locator identifying a frame or iframe
$sel->get_whether_this_frame_match_frame_expression($current_frame_string,
$target)
Determine whether current/locator identify the frame containing
this running code. This is useful in proxy injection mode, where
this code runs in everybrowser frame and window, and sometimes the
selenium server needs to identifythe "current" frame. In this
case, when the test calls selectFrame, thisroutine is called for
each frame to figure out which one has been selected.The selected
frame will return true, while all others will return false.
$current_frame_string is starting frame
$target is new frame (which might be relative to the current
one)
Returns true if the new frame is this code's window
$sel->get_whether_this_window_match_window_expression($current_window_string,
$target)
Determine whether currentWindowString plus target identify the
window containing this running code. This is useful in proxy
injection mode, where this code runs in everybrowser frame and
window, and sometimes the selenium server needs to identifythe
"current" window. In this case, when the test calls selectWindow,
thisroutine is called for each window to figure out which one has
been selected.The selected window will return true, while all
others will return false.
$current_window_string is starting window
$target is new window (which might be relative to the current
one, e.g., "_parent")
Returns true if the new window is this code's window
$sel->wait_for_pop_up($window_id, $timeout)
Waits for a popup window to appear and load up.
$window_id is the JavaScript window "name" of the window that
will appear (not the text of the title bar) If
unspecified, or specified as "null", this command will
wait for the first non-top window to appear (don't rely
on this if you are working with multiple popups
simultaneously).
$timeout is a timeout in milliseconds, after which the action
will return with an error. If this value is not
specified, the default Selenium timeout will be
used. See the setTimeout() command.
$sel->choose_cancel_on_next_confirmation()
By default, Selenium's overridden window.confirm() function
willreturn true, as if the user had manually clicked OK; after
runningthis command, the next call to confirm() will return false,
as ifthe user had clicked Cancel. Selenium will then resume using
thedefault behavior for future confirmations, automatically
returning true (OK) unless/until you explicitly call this command
for eachconfirmation.
Take note - every time a confirmation comes up, you mustconsume it
with a corresponding getConfirmation, or elsethe next selenium
operation will fail.
$sel->choose_ok_on_next_confirmation()
Undo the effect of calling chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation.
Notethat Selenium's overridden window.confirm() function will
normally automaticallyreturn true, as if the user had manually
clicked OK, so you shouldn'tneed to use this command unless for
some reason you need to changeyour mind prior to the next
confirmation. After any confirmation, Selenium will resume using
thedefault behavior for future confirmations, automatically
returning true (OK) unless/until you explicitly call
chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation for eachconfirmation.
Take note - every time a confirmation comes up, you mustconsume it
with a corresponding getConfirmation, or elsethe next selenium
operation will fail.
$sel->answer_on_next_prompt($answer)
Instructs Selenium to return the specified answer string in
response tothe next JavaScript prompt [window.prompt()].
$answer is the answer to give in response to the prompt pop-up
$sel->go_back()
Simulates the user clicking the "back" button on their browser.
$sel->refresh()
Simulates the user clicking the "Refresh" button on their browser.
$sel->close()
Simulates the user clicking the "close" button in the titlebar of a
popupwindow or tab.
$sel->is_alert_present()
Has an alert occurred? This function never throws an exception
Returns true if there is an alert
$sel->is_prompt_present()
Has a prompt occurred? This function never throws an exception
Returns true if there is a pending prompt
$sel->is_confirmation_present()
Has confirm() been called? This function never throws an exception
Returns true if there is a pending confirmation
$sel->get_alert()
Retrieves the message of a JavaScript alert generated during the
previous action, or fail if there were no alerts. Getting an alert
has the same effect as manually clicking OK. If analert is
generated but you do not consume it with getAlert, the next
Selenium actionwill fail.
Under Selenium, JavaScript alerts will NOT pop up a visible
alertdialog.
Selenium does NOT support JavaScript alerts that are generated in
apage's onload() event handler. In this case a visible dialog WILL
begenerated and Selenium will hang until someone manually clicks
OK.
Returns The message of the most recent JavaScript alert
$sel->get_confirmation()
Retrieves the message of a JavaScript confirmation dialog generated
duringthe previous action. By default, the confirm function will
return true, having the same effectas manually clicking OK. This
can be changed by prior execution of
thechooseCancelOnNextConfirmation command.
If an confirmation is generated but you do not consume it with
getConfirmation,the next Selenium action will fail.
NOTE: under Selenium, JavaScript confirmations will NOT pop up a
visibledialog.

visibledialog WILL be generated and Selenium will hang until you
manually clickOK.
Returns the message of the most recent JavaScript confirmation
dialog
$sel->get_prompt()

Selenium action will fail.
NOTE: under Selenium, JavaScript prompts will NOT pop up a
visibledialog.
NOTE: Selenium does NOT support JavaScript prompts that are
generated in apage's onload() event handler. In this case a visible
dialog WILL begenerated and Selenium will hang until someone

to the Selenium object. Use "window" torefer to the window of your
application, e.g. "window.document.getElementById('foo')"
If you need to usea locator to refer to a single element in your

to which the element should be moved, e.g., "+70,-300"
$sel->set_mouse_speed($pixels)
Configure the number of pixels between "mousemove" events during
dragAndDrop commands (default=10). Setting this value to 0 means
that we'll send a "mousemove" event to every single pixelin between
the start location and the end location; that can be very slow, and
maycause some browsers to force the JavaScript to timeout.
If the mouse speed is greater than the distance between the two
dragged objects, we'lljust send one "mousemove" at the start
location and then one final one at the end location.
$pixels is the number of pixels between "mousemove" events

Moves the text cursor to the specified position in the given input
element or textarea.This method will fail if the specified element
isn't an input element or textarea.
$locator is an element locator pointing to an input element or
textarea
$position is the numerical position of the cursor in the field;
position should be 0 to move the position to the beginning of
the field. You can also set the cursor to -1 to move it to the
end of the field.
$sel->get_element_index($locator)
Get the relative index of an element to its parent (starting from
0). The comment node and empty text nodewill be ignored.

$sel->get_cursor_position($locator)
Retrieves the text cursor position in the given input element or
textarea; beware, this may not work perfectly on all browsers.
Specifically, if the cursor/selection has been cleared by
JavaScript, this command will tend toreturn the position of the
last location of the cursor, even though the cursor is now gone
from the page. This is filed as
http://jira.openqa.org/browse/SEL-243 (SEL-243). This method will
fail if the specified element isn't an input element or textarea,
or there is no cursor in the element.
$locator is an element locator pointing to an input element or
textarea
Returns the numerical position of the cursor in the field
$sel->get_expression($expression)
Returns the specified expression. This is useful because of
JavaScript preprocessing.It is used to generate commands like
assertExpression and waitForExpression.
$expression is the value to return
Returns the value passed in
$sel->get_xpath_count($xpath)
Returns the number of nodes that match the specified xpath, eg.
"//table" would givethe number of tables.
$xpath is the xpath expression to evaluate. do NOT wrap this
expression in a 'count()' function; we will do that for you.
Returns the number of nodes that match the specified xpath
$sel->assign_id($locator, $identifier)
Temporarily sets the "id" attribute of the specified element, so
you can locate it in the futureusing its ID rather than a
slow/complicated XPath. This ID will disappear once the page
isreloaded.
$locator is an element locator pointing to an element
$identifier is a string to be used as the ID of the specified
element
$sel->allow_native_xpath($allow)
Specifies whether Selenium should use the native in-browser
implementationof XPath (if any native version is available); if you
pass "false" tothis function, we will always use our pure-
JavaScript xpath library.Using the pure-JS xpath library can
improve the consistency of xpathelement locators between different
browser vendors, but the pure-JSversion is much slower than the
native implementations.
$allow is boolean, true means we'll prefer to use native XPath;
false means we'll only use JS XPath
$sel->ignore_attributes_without_value($ignore)
Specifies whether Selenium will ignore xpath attributes that have
novalue, i.e. are the empty string, when using the non-native
xpathevaluation engine. You'd want to do this for performance
reasons in IE.However, this could break certain xpaths, for example
an xpath that looksfor an attribute whose value is NOT the empty
string.The hope is that such xpaths are relatively rare, but the
user shouldhave the option of using them. Note that this only
influences xpathevaluation when using the ajaxslt engine (i.e. not
"javascript-xpath").
$ignore is boolean, true means we'll ignore attributes without
value at the expense of xpath
"correctness"; false means we'll
sacrifice speed for correctness.
$sel->wait_for_condition($script, $timeout)
Runs the specified JavaScript snippet repeatedly until it evaluates
to "true".The snippet may have multiple lines, but only the result
of the last linewill be considered. Note that, by default, the
snippet will be run in the runner's test window, not in the
windowof your application. To get the window of your application,
you can usethe JavaScript snippet
"selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow()", and thenrun your
JavaScript in there
$script is the JavaScript snippet to run
$timeout is a timeout in milliseconds, after which this command
will return with an error
$sel->set_timeout($timeout)
Specifies the amount of time that Selenium will wait for actions to
complete. Actions that require waiting include "open" and the
"waitFor*" actions. The default timeout is 30 seconds.
$timeout is a timeout in milliseconds, after which the action
will return with an error
$sel->wait_for_page_to_load($timeout)
Waits for a new page to load. You can use this command instead of
the "AndWait" suffixes, "clickAndWait", "selectAndWait",
"typeAndWait" etc.(which are only available in the JS API).
Selenium constantly keeps track of new pages loading, and sets a
"newPageLoaded"flag when it first notices a page load. Running any
other Selenium command afterturns the flag to false. Hence, if you
want to wait for a page to load, you mustwait immediately after a
Selenium command that caused a page-load.
$timeout is a timeout in milliseconds, after which this command
will return with an error
$sel->wait_for_frame_to_load($frame_address, $timeout)
Waits for a new frame to load. Selenium constantly keeps track of
new pages and frames loading, and sets a "newPageLoaded" flag when
it first notices a page load. See waitForPageToLoad for more
information.
$frame_address is FrameAddress from the server side
$timeout is a timeout in milliseconds, after which this command
will return with an error
$sel->get_cookie()
Return all cookies of the current page under test.
Returns all cookies of the current page under test
$sel->get_cookie_by_name($name)
Returns the value of the cookie with the specified name, or throws
an error if the cookie is not present.
$name is the name of the cookie
Returns the value of the cookie
$sel->is_cookie_present($name)
Returns true if a cookie with the specified name is present, or
false otherwise.
$name is the name of the cookie
Returns true if a cookie with the specified name is present, or
false otherwise.
$sel->create_cookie($name_value_pair, $options_string)
Create a new cookie whose path and domain are same with those of
current pageunder test, unless you specified a path for this cookie
explicitly.
$name_value_pair is name and value of the cookie in a format
"name=value"
$options_string is options for the cookie. Currently supported
options include 'path', 'max_age' and 'domain'. the
optionsString's format is "path=/path/, max_age=60,
domain=.foo.com". The order of options are irrelevant, the unit
of the value of 'max_age' is second. Note that specifying a
domain that isn't a subset of the current domain will
usually fail.
$sel->delete_cookie($name, $options_string)
Delete a named cookie with specified path and domain. Be careful;
to delete a cookie, youneed to delete it using the exact same path
and domain that were used to create the cookie.If the path is
wrong, or the domain is wrong, the cookie simply won't be deleted.
Alsonote that specifying a domain that isn't a subset of the
current domain will usually fail.Since there's no way to discover
at runtime the original path and domain of a given cookie,we've
added an option called 'recurse' to try all sub-domains of the
current domain withall paths that are a subset of the current path.
Beware; this option can be slow. Inbig-O notation, it operates in
O(n*m) time, where n is the number of dots in the domainname and m
is the number of slashes in the path.
$name is the name of the cookie to be deleted
$options_string is options for the cookie. Currently supported
options include 'path', 'domain' and 'recurse.' The
optionsString's format is "path=/path/, domain=.foo.com,
recurse=true". The order of options are irrelevant. Note
that specifying a domain that isn't a subset of the
current domain will usually fail.
$sel->delete_all_visible_cookies()
Calls deleteCookie with recurse=true on all cookies visible to the
current page.As noted on the documentation for deleteCookie,
recurse=true can be much slowerthan simply deleting the cookies
using a known domain/path.
$sel->set_browser_log_level($log_level)
Sets the threshold for browser-side logging messages; log messages
beneath this threshold will be discarded.Valid logLevel strings
are: "debug", "info", "warn", "error" or "off".To see the browser
logs, you need toeither show the log window in GUI mode, or enable
browser-side logging in Selenium RC.
$log_level is one of the following: "debug", "info", "warn",
"error" or "off"
$sel->run_script($script)
Creates a new "script" tag in the body of the current test window,
and adds the specified text into the body of the command. Scripts
run inthis way can often be debugged more easily than scripts
executed usingSelenium's "getEval" command. Beware that JS
exceptions thrown in these scripttags aren't managed by Selenium,
so you should probably wrap your scriptin try/catch blocks if there
is any chance that the script will throwan exception.
$script is the JavaScript snippet to run
$sel->add_location_strategy($strategy_name)
Defines a new function for Selenium to locate elements on the
page.For example,if you define the strategy "foo", and someone runs
click("foo=blah"), we'llrun your function, passing you the string
"blah", and click on the element that your functionreturns, or
throw an "Element not found" error if your function returns
null.We'll pass three arguments to your function:
· locator: the string the user passed in
· inWindow: the currently selected window
· inDocument: the currently selected document
The function must return null if the element can't be found.
$strategy_name is the name of the strategy to define; this
should use only letters [a-zA-Z] with no spaces or other
punctuation.
$sel->capture_entire_page_screenshot($filename, $kwargs)
Saves the entire contents of the current window canvas to a PNG
file.Contrast this with the captureScreenshot command, which
captures thecontents of the OS viewport (i.e. whatever is currently
being displayedon the monitor), and is implemented in the RC only.
Currently this onlyworks in Firefox when running in chrome mode,
and in IE non-HTA usingthe EXPERIMENTAL "Snapsie" utility. The
Firefox implementation is mostlyborrowed from the Screengrab!
Firefox extension. Please seehttp://www.screengrab.org and
http://snapsie.sourceforge.net/ fordetails.
$filename is the path to the file to persist the screenshot as.
No filename extension will be appended by
default. Directories will not be created if
they do not exist, and an exception will be
thrown, possibly by native code.
$kwargs is a kwargs string that modifies the way the screenshot
is captured. Example: "background=#CCFFDD" .
Currently valid options:
=item background
the background CSS for the HTML document. This
may be useful to set for capturing screenshots of
less-than-ideal layouts, for example where absolute
positioning causes the calculation of the canvas
dimension to fail and a black background is exposed
(possibly obscuring black text).
$sel->rollup($rollup_name, $kwargs)
Executes a command rollup, which is a series of commands with a
uniquename, and optionally arguments that control the generation of
the set ofcommands. If any one of the rolled-up commands fails, the
rollup isconsidered to have failed. Rollups may also contain nested
rollups.
$rollup_name is the name of the rollup command
$kwargs is keyword arguments string that influences how the
rollup expands into commands
$sel->add_script($script_content, $script_tag_id)
Loads script content into a new script tag in the Selenium
document. Thisdiffers from the runScript command in that runScript
adds the script tagto the document of the AUT, not the Selenium
document. The followingentities in the script content are replaced
by the characters theyrepresent: < > &The
corresponding remove command is removeScript.
$script_content is the Javascript content of the script to add
$script_tag_id is (optional) the id of the new script tag. If
specified, and an element with this id already
exists, this operation will fail.
$sel->remove_script($script_tag_id)
Removes a script tag from the Selenium document identified by the
givenid. Does nothing if the referenced tag doesn't exist.
$script_tag_id is the id of the script element to remove.
$sel->use_xpath_library($library_name)
Allows choice of one of the available libraries.
$library_name is name of the desired library Only the following
three can be chosen:
· "ajaxslt" - Google's library
· "javascript-xpath" - Cybozu Labs' faster library
· "default" - The default library. Currently the default
library is "ajaxslt" .
=back
If libraryName isn't one of these three, then no change will be made.
$sel->set_context($context)
Writes a message to the status bar and adds a note to the
browser-sidelog.
$context is the message to be sent to the browser
$sel->attach_file($field_locator, $file_locator)
Sets a file input (upload) field to the file listed in
fileLocator
$field_locator is an element locator
$file_locator is a URL pointing to the specified file.
Before the file can be set in the input field
(fieldLocator), Selenium RC may need to transfer the file
to the local machine before attaching the file in a web
page form. This is common in selenium grid configurations
where the RC server driving the browser is not the same
machine that started the test. Supported Browsers:
Firefox ("*chrome") only.
$sel->capture_screenshot($filename)
Captures a PNG screenshot to the specified file.
$filename is the absolute path to the file to be written,
e.g. "c:\blah\screenshot.png"
$sel->capture_screenshot_to_string()
Capture a PNG screenshot. It then returns the file as a base
64 encoded string.
Returns The base 64 encoded string of the screen shot (PNG
file)
$sel->capture_entire_page_screenshot_to_string($kwargs)
Downloads a screenshot of the browser current window canvas to
a based 64 encoded PNG file. The entire windows canvas is
captured,including parts rendered outside of the current view
port.Currently this only works in Mozilla and when running in
chrome mode.
$kwargs is A kwargs string that modifies the way the
screenshot is captured. Example: "background=#CCFFDD". This
may be useful to set for capturing screenshots of less-
than-ideal layouts, for example where absolute positioning
causes the calculation of the canvas dimension to fail and
a black background is exposed (possibly obscuring black
text).
Returns The base 64 encoded string of the page screenshot
(PNG file)
$sel->shut_down_selenium_server()
Kills the running Selenium Server and all browser sessions.
After you run this command, you will no longer be able to
sendcommands to the server; you can't remotely start the server
once it has been stopped. Normallyyou should prefer to run the
"stop" command, which terminates the current browser session,
rather than shutting down the entire server.
$sel->retrieve_last_remote_control_logs()
Retrieve the last messages logged on a specific remote control.
Useful for error reports, especiallywhen running multiple
remote controls in a distributed environment. The maximum
number of log messagesthat can be retrieve is configured on
remote control startup.
Returns The last N log messages as a multi-line string.
$sel->key_down_native($keycode)
Simulates a user pressing a key (without releasing it yet) by
sending a native operating system keystroke.This function uses
the java.awt.Robot class to send a keystroke; this more
accurately simulates typinga key on the keyboard. It does not
honor settings from the shiftKeyDown, controlKeyDown,
altKeyDown andmetaKeyDown commands, and does not target any
particular HTML element. To send a keystroke to a
particularelement, focus on the element first before running
this command.
$keycode is an integer keycode number corresponding to a
java.awt.event.KeyEvent; note that Java keycodes are NOT
the same thing as JavaScript keycodes!
$sel->key_up_native($keycode)
Simulates a user releasing a key by sending a native operating
system keystroke.This function uses the java.awt.Robot class to
send a keystroke; this more accurately simulates typinga key on
the keyboard. It does not honor settings from the
shiftKeyDown, controlKeyDown, altKeyDown andmetaKeyDown
commands, and does not target any particular HTML element. To
send a keystroke to a particularelement, focus on the element
first before running this command.
$keycode is an integer keycode number corresponding to a
java.awt.event.KeyEvent; note that Java keycodes are NOT
the same thing as JavaScript keycodes!
$sel->key_press_native($keycode)
Simulates a user pressing and releasing a key by sending a
native operating system keystroke.This function uses the
java.awt.Robot class to send a keystroke; this more accurately
simulates typinga key on the keyboard. It does not honor
settings from the shiftKeyDown, controlKeyDown, altKeyDown
andmetaKeyDown commands, and does not target any particular
HTML element. To send a keystroke to a particularelement,
focus on the element first before running this command.
$keycode is an integer keycode number corresponding to a
java.awt.event.KeyEvent; note that Java keycodes are NOT
the same thing as JavaScript keycodes!

* $sel->is_selected($locator, $option_locator)
Verifies that the selected option of a drop-down satisfies the
optionSpecifier.
See the select command for more information about option
locators.
$locator is an element locator. $option_locator is an
option locator, typically just an option label (e.g. "John
Smith").
Note: This function is deprecated, use the get_selected_*()
methods instead.

Gets all option labels for selected options in the specified
select or multi-select element.
$locator is an element locator.
Note: This function is deprecated, use get_selected_labels()
instead.
