ExtJS WebDriver (Formerly Selenium Extend)

This project was forked from SeleniumExtend at https://github.com/asaflevy/SelenuimExtend . SeleniumExtend was written for Selenium 1.0, and did not match the new paradigms of Selenium 2.0/Webdriver. As such, there were a few major changes:

• Removed all references to Selenium, and replaced with WebDriver/JavascriptExecutor
• (In Progress) Remove all fireEvent logic. This was removed from WebDriver (Though you can still do it, it's just harder) because a user is not able to fireEvents. A user can only use the mouse or keyboard.

The new WebElement paradigm is taken from http://www.roboqa.net/2013/03/element-object-extjs-combobox.html The new ByExtJsComp, ByExtJsQuery etc should be made in a likes of ByAngular from https://github.com/paul-hammant/ngWebDriver

Travis-CI

TODO:

• Set up maven-surefire for "mvn integration test" and create a few tests
• Set up a build system (travis-ci)
• Decide if we want to pre-inject the page with our javascript methods or do everything on the fly. (Decided - on the fly)
• Create and implement ByExtJsComp, ByExtJsQuery a la ngWebDriver
• Inject all Javascript on the fly
• Remove all methods that fire events.
• Make Chart class and merge in tests from another project.
• Publish artifacts? http://datumedge.blogspot.com/2012/05/publishing-from-github-to-maven-central.html

Team Decisions

JavaScript Code Managment - How should we store the JS code?

• Should the JS just be saved in regular Strings? Ex. String code = "doSomeComplexCode()" + "lotsOfComplexLinesOfCode();
• Or Should the JS be saved per file - /src/main/resources/.../findElement.js = "namespace.function = ...."

Save the JS in java strings for most/small functions. If they are very large, use JS Files.

A single Javascript method to funnel all javaascript through.

• Should you be able to do ".getEL()"; and expect it to return a stuff OR do we force "return extCmp.getEl();"

right now the answer is force "return..."

Do we need to load any basic utility functions?

None right now.

If we need to load any basic utilities, how do we do it, and do it well?

Load as needed.
