Good day-
Going along with the user.js I sent to the list a few days ago, this
Python module makes driving Selenium from Python a cinch.
All you need to do is instantiate SeleniumGateway with a socket-address
tuple. Then call the execute() method with the parts of your Selenese
command as arguments. Example:
s = SeleniumGateway(('127.0.0.1', 8080))
s.execute('type', 'id=InputField', 'The Text')
Now point your browser at your Selenium runner, which should be
requesting commands from http://localhost:8080/driver .
The return string from each Selenium command is returned by execute().
The SeleniumGateway still works if you modify your Selenese runner HTML
to submit queries with POST instead of GET, as we do. We find this works
much better when we expect to receive longer result strings or more
complicated ones.
I'd very much appreciate feedback on this approach and the user.js file
I sent. We hope to be able to work with others using this or similar
code.
