Java port of the Selenium 2 (WebDriver) Python library for Robot Framework

Repository moved

Maintainer of the library is changed, and new repository is at https://github.com/Hi-Fi/robotframework-seleniumlibrary-java.

Introduction

Selenium2Library is a web testing library for Robot Framework that leverages

the Selenium 2 (WebDriver)

libraries from the Selenium project.

It is modeled after (and forked from) the Robot Framework

SeleniumLibrary

library, but re-implemented to use Selenium 2 and WebDriver technologies.

More information about this library can be found in the

Keyword Documentation.

For keyword completion in RIDE you can download this

Library Specs

and place it in your PYTHONPATH.

This Java port of the existing Selenium2Library was created to enable

the usage of a Selenium 2 library with Jython.

Python Selenium2Library needs Python 2.6 upwards

The latests stable release of Jython is 2.5.3

Jython 2.7b2 is a beta version

There seems to be only slow development of a stable Jython 2.7

Usage

This library is a direct replacement to the Python Selenium2Library.

There are almost no changes necesssary to the existing code. You

can execute the same testcases and keywords with Python and Jython.

If you are using the robotframework-maven-plugin you can

use this library by adding the following dependency to

your pom.xml:

com.github.markusbernhardt

robotframework-selenium2library-java

1.4.0.8

test

If you cannot use the robotframework-maven-plugin you can use the

jar-with-dependencies,

which contains all required libraries.

If you want more control and feel adventurous you could you use this

jar

and provide all required libraries from this list on your own.

Differences

Selenium Speed not implemented

Setting the Selenium Speed is deprecated several years and not

implemented in WebDriver. The Python Selenium2Library tries to

emulate the old behavior. I have not implemented this emulation

for the following reasons.

As far as I understand the emulation is broken and only works

with RemoteWebDriver

I do not know how to implement that in a correct way with Java

There is a reason, why this is not implemented in WebDriver.

It's a bad idea.

Demo

This is a maven project. If you have firefox installed,

you can execute the unit tests with:

mvn integration-test
