Developers, I've created a JIRA ticket (ofbiz-2116) to track the proposal for including SeleniumXml as one of the test tools provided in OFBiz. The ticket includes the following files:
- Instructions on how to apply the patch and run the sample test - Zip file of all source code and Apache compliant libraries needed for seleniumXml - Patch file with changes to the testtools/build.xml and url.properties files in ofbiz. - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-211 The sample seleniumXml test included with the distribution is a simple test that runs against the ofbiz example application. The test does not demonstrate all of the features of the selenium xml tool but provides a good example of how it can be used. Please update the JIRA ticket with your comments or post them to this mailing list and I'll continue to drive the effort. If you have problems running the example let me know as well. I tested it running Firefox 3.0.5 and IE 7.0. You can sometimes run into browser problems if you do not have sufficient rights on your box as selenium tries to run the browser with predetermined preferences (this can be customized but that's a future discussion). Here is some specific feedback I am looking for: - Review of file locations and package names. I put the seleniumXml files under the testtools component. The sample tests are also located in the testdef/seleniumxml/example directory. Let me know if you think the files should be located some place else. In the future perhaps the testtool component could be an application to launch specific tests from the browser. - What features you would like to see or demonstrated. TODO Items - Integrate seleniumxml into the OFBiz test build process. This will let a user execute selenium tests from ant and define them in their application component. - JavaDoc like feature for including test documentation with the XML test scripts. A build would generate all the test documentation from these files. - More examples of how to use the framework - More ofbiz application tests - Define common seed data - Clean up operations for the tests I am interested in getting more ofbiz application tests started. To help jump start this effort if you will send me a recorded test using Selenium IDE, I will convert the test to seleniumXml and include it in the distribution. Please include any notes that would be helpful for the tests (e.g. what you are trying to verify with the test and what data the test should capture). Another requirement is that the test has to work "out of the box" from the trunk. It can't depend on any custom code or data. Thanks, Brett
