AddSelection | 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 |
AnswerOnNextPrompt | Instructs Selenium to return the specified answer string in response to the next JavaScript prompt [window.prompt()]. |
Check | Check a toggle-button (checkbox/radio) |
ChooseCancelOnNextConfirmation | By default, Selenium's overridden window.confirm() function will return true, as if the user had manually clicked OK. After running this command, the next call to confirm() will return false, as if the user had clicked Cancel. |
Click | Clicks on a link, button, checkbox or radio button. If the click action causes a new page to load (like a link usually does), call waitForPageToLoad. |
Close | Simulates the user clicking the "close" button in the titlebar of a popup window or tab. |
FireEvent | Explicitly simulate an event, to trigger the corresponding "onevent" handler. |
GetAlert | 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 an alert is generated but you do not get/verify it, the next Selenium action will fail.NOTE: under Selenium, JavaScript alerts will NOT pop up a visible alert dialog.NOTE: Selenium does NOT support JavaScript alerts that are generated in a page's onload() event handler. In this case a visible dialog WILL be generated and Selenium will hang until someone manually clicks OK.
|
GetAllButtons | Returns the IDs of all buttons on the page. If a given button has no ID, it will appear as "" in this array.
|
GetAllFields | Returns the IDs of all input fields on the page. If a given field has no ID, it will appear as "" in this array.
|
GetAllLinks | Returns the IDs of all links on the page. If a given link has no ID, it will appear as "" in this array.
|
GetAttribute | Gets the value of an element attribute. |
GetBodyText | Gets the entire text of the page. |
GetConfirmation | Retrieves the message of a JavaScript confirmation dialog generated during the previous action. By default, the confirm function will return true, having the same effect as manually clicking OK. This can be changed by prior execution of the chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation command. If an confirmation is generated but you do not get/verify it, the next Selenium action will fail. NOTE: under Selenium, JavaScript confirmations will NOT pop up a visible dialog. NOTE: Selenium does NOT support JavaScript confirmations that are generated in a page's onload() event handler. In this case a visible dialog WILL be generated and Selenium will hang until you manually click OK.
|
GetCursorPosition | 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 to return the position of the last location of the cursor, even though the cursor is now gone from the page. This is filed as 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. |
GetEval | Gets the result of evaluating the specified JavaScript snippet. The snippet may have multiple lines, but only the result of the last line will be returned. Note that, by default, the snippet will run in the context of the "selenium" object itself, so this will refer to the Selenium object, and window will refer to the top-level runner test window, not the window of your application.If you need a reference to the window of your application, you can refer to this.browserbot.getCurrentWindow() and if you need to use a locator to refer to a single element in your application page, you can use this.page().findElement("foo") where "foo" is your locator.
|
GetExpression | Returns the specified expression. This is useful because of JavaScript preprocessing. It is used to generate commands like assertExpression and waitForExpression.
|
GetHtmlSource | Returns the entire HTML source between the opening and closing "html" tags. |
GetLocation | Gets the absolute URL of the current page. |
GetPrompt | Retrieves the message of a JavaScript question prompt dialog generated during the previous action. Successful handling of the prompt requires prior execution of the answerOnNextPrompt command. If a prompt is generated but you do not get/verify it, the next Selenium action will fail.NOTE: under Selenium, JavaScript prompts will NOT pop up a visible dialog.NOTE: Selenium does NOT support JavaScript prompts that are generated in a page's onload() event handler. In this case a visible dialog WILL be generated and Selenium will hang until someone manually clicks OK.
|
GetSelectedId | Gets option element ID for selected option in the specified select element. |
GetSelectedIds | Gets all option element IDs for selected options in the specified select or multi-select element. |
GetSelectedIndex | Gets option index (option number, starting at 0) for selected option in the specified select element. |
GetSelectedIndexes | Gets all option indexes (option number, starting at 0) for selected options in the specified select or multi-select element. |
GetSelectedLabel | Gets option label (visible text) for selected option in the specified select element. |
GetSelectedLabels | Gets all option labels (visible text) for selected options in the specified select or multi-select element. |
GetSelectedValue | Gets option value (value attribute) for selected option in the specified select element. |
GetSelectedValues | Gets all option values (value attributes) for selected options in the specified select or multi-select element. |
GetSelectOptions | Gets all option labels in the specified select drop-down. |
GetTable | Gets the text from a cell of a table. The cellAddress syntax tableLocator.row.column, where row and column start at 0. |
GetText | Gets the text of an element. This works for any element that contains text. This command uses either the textContent (Mozilla-like browsers) or the innerText (IE-like browsers) of the element, which is the rendered text shown to the user. |
GetTitle | Gets the title of the current page. |
GetValue | Gets the (whitespace-trimmed) value of an input field (or anything else with a value parameter). For checkbox/radio elements, the value will be "on" or "off" depending on whether the element is checked or not. |
GoBack | Simulates the user clicking the "back" button on their browser. |
IsAlertPresent | Has an alert occurred? This function never throws an exception
|
IsChecked | Gets whether a toggle-button (checkbox/radio) is checked. Fails if the specified element doesn't exist or isn't a toggle-button. |
IsConfirmationPresent | Has confirm() been called? This function never throws an exception
|
IsEditable | Determines whether the specified input element is editable, ie hasn't been disabled. This method will fail if the specified element isn't an input element. |
IsElementPresent | Verifies that the specified element is somewhere on the page. |
IsPromptPresent | Has a prompt occurred? This function never throws an exception
|
IsSomethingSelected | Determines whether some option in a drop-down menu is selected. |
IsTextPresent | Verifies that the specified text pattern appears somewhere on the rendered page shown to the user. |
IsVisible | Determines if the specified element is visible. An element can be rendered invisible by setting the CSS "visibility" property to "hidden", or the "display" property to "none", either for the element itself or one if its ancestors. This method will fail if the element is not present. |
KeyDown | Simulates a user pressing a key (without releasing it yet). |
KeyPress | Simulates a user pressing and releasing a key. |
KeyUp | Simulates a user releasing a key. |
MouseDown | Simulates a user pressing the mouse button (without releasing it yet) on the specified element. |
MouseOver | Simulates a user hovering a mouse over the specified element. |
Open | Opens an URL in the test frame. This accepts both relative and absolute URLs. 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 HTML due to security restrictions in the browser (Same Origin Policy). If you need to open an URL on another domain, use the Selenium Server to start a new browser session on that domain. |
Refresh | Simulates the user clicking the "Refresh" button on their browser. |
RemoveSelection | 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 |
Select | Select an option from a drop-down using an option locator. Option locators provide different ways of specifying options of an HTML Select element (e.g. for selecting a specific option, or for asserting that the selected option satisfies a specification). There are several forms of Select Option Locator. - label=labelPattern
- matches options based on their labels, i.e. the visible text. (This is the default.)
- value=valuePattern
- matches options based on their values.
- id=id
- matches options based on their ids.
- index=index
- matches an option based on its index (offset from zero).
If no option locator prefix is provided, the default behaviour is to match on label.
|
SelectWindow | Selects a popup window; once a popup window has been selected, all commands go to that window. To select the main window again, use "null" as the target. |
SetContext | Writes a message to the status bar and adds a note to the browser-side log. If logLevelThreshold is specified, set the threshold for logging to that level (debug, info, warn, error).(Note that the browser-side logs will not be sent back to the server, and are invisible to the Client Driver.)
|
SetCursorPosition | 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. |
SetTimeout | 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. |
Start | Launches the browser with a new Selenium session |
Stop | Ends the test session, killing the browser |
Submit | Submit the specified form. This is particularly useful for forms without submit buttons, e.g. single-input "Search" forms. |
Type | 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.
|
Uncheck | Uncheck a toggle-button (checkbox/radio) |
WaitForCondition | Runs the specified JavaScript snippet repeatedly until it evaluates to "true". The snippet may have multiple lines, but only the result of the last line will be considered. Note that, by default, the snippet will be run in the runner's test window, not in the window of your application. To get the window of your application, you can use the JavaScript snippet selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow() , and then run your JavaScript in there
|
WaitForPageToLoad | 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 after turns the flag to false. Hence, if you want to wait for a page to load, you must wait immediately after a Selenium command that caused a page-load.
|
WaitForPopUp | Waits for a popup window to appear and load up. |
