Selenium RC Commands

SeleniumCommands:

Selenium Server(selenium-server-standalone -<version number>.jar) receives Selenium commands from your test program, interprets them, and reports back to your program the results of running those tests.

The RC server bundles Selenium Core and automatically injects it into the browser. This occurs when your test program opens the browser (using a client library API function). Selenium-Core is a JavaScript program, actually a set of JavaScript functions which interprets and executes Selenese commands using the browser’s built-in JavaScript interpreter.

The Server receives the Selenese commands from your test program using simple HTTP GET/POST requests. This means you can use any programming language that can send HTTP requests to automate Selenium tests on the browser.

1. getSelectOptions (Locator) -- Gets all the list items within a List Box

example : String[] options = selenium.getSelectOptions("//select[@id='bm']");

for(int i=0;i<options.length;i++)

{

System.out.println("options :"+options[i]);

}

2. select (locator, valueToSelect) -- Selects an item in the List Box

System.out.println("selectedIndex :"+selectedIndex);

5. getSelectedValue(locator) -- Gets option value (value attribute) for selected option in the specified select element.

Example : String selectedVal = selenium.getSelectedValue("//select[@id='bm']");

System.out.println("selectedVal :"+selectedVal);

6. addSelection (locator,optionLocator) -- Add a selection to the set of selected options in a multi- select element using an option locator.

locator - an element locator identifying a multi-select box

optionLocator - an option locator (a label by default)

TextRelated Commands

1. isText Present(pattern)

a. Return true if the text is present

b. You can give regular expression with test (Note: It supports glob pattern)

Examples

boolean textAvailabel = selenium.isTextPresent("Find a Partner");

System.out.println("text availability :"+textAvailabel);

boolean textAvailabel1 = selenium.isTextPresent("Find a Partner");

System.out.println("text availability :"+textAvailabel1);

boolean textAvailabel2 = selenium.isTextPresent("Find a *");

System.out.println("text availability :"+textAvailabel2);

boolean textAvailabel3 = selenium.isTextPresent("Find a *");

System.out.println("text availability :"+textAvailabel3);

boolean textAvailabel4 = selenium.isTextPresent("Find a ?art*");

System.out.println("text availability :"+textAvailabel4);
